The picture of the standing rocks was supposed to have me in it. Sorry. I will try one more and then I have to go be a missionary. I will try to get one of me on the beach.

We were not going to miss the beach in spite of the rain.
We went to Coffs Harbour for a District Conference. It was storming, but we weren't going to miss going to the beach.

We just went to Grafton to see the Jacaranda trees. They were so beautiful.

I am going to try this again. Wish me luck.

I am on a different computer and could not get the pictures to work. I will try again.
On our way home from zone conference we stopped at this beautiful overlook.
We went to Kentucky to look for "Lost Sheep". Our road suddenly ran out of pavement.We didn't mind, we had a fuel tank of petro and a phone so we were okay. It is beautiful.
We had a great potluck after church. These are our multicultural investigators,
We even took a trip thru Kentucky
A cool cemetary in Uralla

Sister White and I are being transferred out to Armidale. It is at the very top of the mission. It is inland and they say that it is beautiful country. I will be seeing wild Kanga's. In fact the sisters hit one last week, killed it and it's joey. The Kangas are like our deer. My postings will be coming less frequently. Plus I lost my cord to put them on the computer. Hope that it shows up in my packing. Talk to you all later

The following pictures are mainly for the kids. I didn't want the following one of the mountains but I didn't know how to get rid of it. Double click on some of them go get better views, especially the Emu looking bird so that you can see his horn. You will have to also go to older blogs because it kicked some of the pictures there. Love ya



These are the Blue mountains. You can see the blue haze in the background. They go on forever and ever. They are deep like our Grand Canyon only are covered in bush.
I love exotic chickens. This one was so fluffy.


These birds were spooky. They had the ugliest eyes and big feet. You can see the one in the back grounds feet, how they sit on the elbows.

I don't know if the hard cone like horn on the top of his head will show. I can't tell you what this is but it was very interesting.


This guy looks like he needs to be in a zoo. That is not a real snake.


You can't go to a zoo without seeing a Koala. They are so cute and cuddly looking but the zoo people do not let you hold them.
These pictures are for the kids. We went to the zoo a couple of months ago. This is the Tasmania Devil. He doesn't look so scarey does he?

Isn't this a cute little Joey.

This is why I don't like to be photographed. I always make some funny face.

Of course the handsome guy behind us should distract from any funny thing we do.

I found some pictures that I didn't get posted. Elder Wright and the Embleys

[Photo]Last Saturday we went to Darling Harbor to the Aquarium. Darling Harbor is just around the bend from the Sydney Harbor. It is different look and different things to see. It has the Aquarium, IMAX Theater, Civic Center, a huge indoor flea market type center called Paddy's, and the Capital theater where we are going to see WICKED in September. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful sight. Our ferry went into the Sydney Harbor and then we rode a city bus to the Darling Harbor. We passed so many OLD antique buildings that we will have to explore some day.


This one is for Stephanie. The black shadow is the only way it would turn out. Sorry.


It was Sponge Bob day at the Aquarium. I am wondering if I saved the wrong picture. This looks pretty fuzy.


It was a busy day down here. On our way back to the bus we passed the Civic Center. People were lined out the building and down the street. They were taping "So You Think You Can Dance"
This is one of the views from our bus window. I love the mixture of the old and the new.

Here is proof that I am on a mission and not on vacation. And yes these guys are this goofy.


This was at a ward party at Patonga. I am not pregnant. My shirt was billowing. This was a beautiful area. Right behind the hill in the background was the South Pacific. Probably most of the pictures of me you will see my hair will look very windblown. I am always by the water.
This is the flat where I lived. I was on the first level, two windows down.


I was waiting for Sister Yu to take pictures. Thank goodness I did because that is all I have to show you. I didn't get a camera until Mother's Day.
This was my walk every morning. Tough to take. I miss it so much. It was beautiful.

Is this all I have to do, type. Maybe I should have been doing this long ago. Now if I can figure out how to put on pictures.

I did it! Wow! This is one of my favorite places in the world.


In the Sydney harbour there is the old Sydney with the Skyscrapers behind. I love it.
