Well it’s been so long since our last blog post, so thought a quick update was in order!
We recently had the company of Hugo and Marianne – dear friends from Brisbane - and we went up to the Barossa Valley to do a little wine tasting with them. Here are a few of the highlights:
Things are progressing well, and we have now relocated homes again as part of our long term goal to simplify. More news to come soon.
We recently went to Kangaroo Island, better known as “KI” locally.
KI is Australia’s the third-largest island, after Tasmania and Melville Island (off the coast of the Northern Territory). It is located 112km SW of Adelaide.
We started the day quite early with a taxi to central bus station. From there we went by bus to Cape Jervis at 6:45am , then caught the KI Sealink ferry from Cape Jervis to Penneshaw. Once on Kangaroo Island, we hopped on board a Sealink tour bus for a ‘one day highlights’ tour of KI.
The itinerary for the day was as follows:
Our first stop was seal bay conservation park where we met some lovely seals:
The next stop was interesting as we met a South African lady who now helps to run the Hanson Bay Sanctuary. We saw up to 6 koalas on a brief walk. Here is a picture of one:
We then went to Vivonne Bay, where we enjoyed a lovely two course lunch:
After lunch, we drove to the Flinders Chase National Park, where we saw some great sights:
Here is also a snap of Cape Du Couedic Lighthouse
We ended the day back in Penneshaw for fish & chips. Then the journey back to Adelaide. It was an excellent day thanks to Leonie’s last minute booking!
In August, Wayne and Leonie attended the Pioneer School for two weeks. We received lots of Bible-based training which will help equip us in the Christian volunteer work that we do. We can truly say that Jehovah is the ‘Grand Instructor’ after receiving this training which was a real blessing and a privilege. Oh, Wayne also picked up a bit of weight from the lovely meals provided!
