TEARS flowed as friends and family of a young couple heading down under said their farewells at a party.
Lindsay Dunn and her partner Guy Lennox emigrated to Australia on Monday and friends and family organised a proper Bolton send-off at Farnworth Social Circle Club, off Piggott Street.
Lindsay, 26, of Kildare Street, Farnworth, has spent the last two years in Jersey with Guy from London. The couple met several years ago when both were enjoying holidays in Australia.
And the urge to return to the land of Oz on a more permanent basis has been strong in the couple's minds.
Lindsay's aunt, Pauline Lomax, said: "It was a great party but of course there were a lot of tears.
"Lindsay's sister Louise and brother Jason were particularly upset. We will all miss her."
