I'm a regular visitor to Melbourne Airport. A fine facility in the North/West fringes of the city. Apart from sending loved ones off or welcoming them back with open arms, it's hard not to get caught up in the emotion of the place. The International Depatures area is arguably the most tearful of them all. Hundreds of people pass by every day, where all dreams are realised or hearts broken. Who are these people? Why are they leaving? Whose left behind, yearning for their return. I could watch this spot all day, every day. Human spirit, love and trust is sometimes revealed as a tearful, climatic end.
