Hello from Hobart

Hello from Hobart!
After balmy breezes and sunny skies we woke yesterday to a light sprinkling of snow on the top of Mt. Wellington – the mountain that provides the backdrop to the beautiful harbour city of Hobart. It didn’t last for long, and tomorrow is promised to be warm and sunny – just a sample of the interesting climate of southern Australia, and a reason why “The Weather” is a main topic of conversation here!

The children’s leaders seminar hosted by City Light Church was enthusiastically received and we appreciated those who drove long distances to be there. Now we are preparing for a family camp north of Hobart.

On the tourist side we have….
• Explored the wharf area and enjoyed seafood at Mure’s
• Looked at some of the many historical buildings
• Loved the waterfront sculptures of the early Antarctic expeditions
• Wondered at the magnificent native woods used in furniture on sale at the Henry Jones building
• Caught a movie at Eastlands
Enjoyed the friendliness of people everywhere
