Back to the Sea Side
It’s Sunday! So off we went to Church. Today we attended St Michael’s Cathedral in Wollongong. The service was a contemporary family service, and “welcome back” to church after school holidays, they introduced the Youth Leader team (6+ young adults) and the church kids went off to learn ( 20+ children) The service included an…

Goulburn to Gong
We spent yesterday again in Goulburn. This time we headed out to Rocky Hill, where the War Memorial Museum is. Unfortunately; the tower was closed for refurbishment. The museum was interesting and hosted a large exhibit on the Vietnam war . We then headed into town, and enjoyed the Belmore park We then headed over…

Boy, we love Trains! (and churches)
We explored Goulburn today. We will not be here on Sunday so we had to start our trip with a visit to the Cathedral. Before Canberra was selected as the Capital, the town of Goulburn was the Center of business for the region, so the Cathedral was built here, making it a city. Even though…

Culture X2
We are again downtown to enjoy the culture of Canberra. This time we took a bus going in a different direction. We then arrived at the National Museum of Australia. I will admit I spent more time looking than taking pictures. We explored the exhibition entitled The Great Southern Land We ended our day with…

The Nation’s Capital
Today we went to visit the Australian Parliament Buildings. The government is not in session today, so we did get to see a lot, and the place was fairly quiet. They return tomorrow so there were a number of “minions” scurrying about getting ready. Again, we sing the praises of the public transit. Our Airbnb…

Wagga to Berra Birthday

Unfortunately, like so many churches these days, they are searching for a rector.. apparently it has an amazing rectory……

Double double
Well, we left Mildura and headed to Wagga Wagga… 😂. Sorry, I laugh every time I say that. There is absolutely NOTHING between these two cities….. unless you count Hay.. population 2979. The roads are not the best… We arrived around 4 pm, found our Airbnb, hit the grocery store, and tucked in for the…

The Canadian Connection
We left the Adelaide suburb of Hallet Cove and headed East. Destination Mildura. Why Mildura? Because it was the right distance away. We drive around 4 hours when we change locations. We find that is optimal for the tired factor. So we looked at a map. And picked Mildura. As you leave Adelaide, you basically…

Driving the Cape
We do that a lot! We decided we are over major cities. And the weather was predicting 35+ temps, so city vs ocean… ocean won. We headed out towards Cape Jervis, where you can catch the ferry to Kangaroo Island (KI to locals 🙄) The ferry is 125$ one way, walk on for a 45…

Another city, another Bike race
I’m starting to think that Bikes and Australians go together. The other thing, biking on the sidewalk is a thing here… so weird! And frankly annoying! We headed into Adelaide for Church this morning, because we had been in yesterday we were prepared for the Bike race, and the impact on our day. We had…
