Break/Rest Day 2 (Sun 17Jan)

The day began with Grego making cuppas around 8, breaky, & off, at about 8:35am. Off we went along the warinto the lounges

and thraheadtown, to fin the dayn yhe df Jesus followers. They are all such different sub-cultures; St. Bridget's Catholic church - we would have had to be there Sat night @ 6pm.

We tried to follow the directions we got from the lady walker we met yesterday to the Christian City Church (CCC) up the Nothern end of Arthur Street(?). We arrived about 9:15am, to find that it starts at 10 a.m.

We met Neville, Fiona, Geoff, Ashley, Darren, Elly (&her boy, the Bass player, Josh), wow, and others, Nick etc. We heard Tom tell his story around the theme of Servanthood, had a cuppa after, and a bunch of fellows prayed for Greggo's foot to strengthen. 
As we walked back to have some lunch Geoff caught us in his car and asked us home for lunch, with the fam (Fiona, Simeon, Chris & his g-friend Christy). Chris & Christy were amazing questioners & conversationalists (both work for telstra- retailing), and what an amazingly generous family. We heard something of their stories for a few hours. Sitting on & @ amazing wooden furniture (with no nails or glue):


After the grown offspring had left for the arvo, we got a snap of the couple

& Geoff dropped us near home on his way to a meeting.

I payed up for our second day... & 
spent some time talking with a local whose business is ailing because of the rise of motorhomes & free-camping.
Grego cooked herb & garlic snags for us tonight, with 3 veg & pasta. Yummy.
We decided to miss our Mark today, have to do Mark 11 on Monday.
Early to bed, to rise at 5 tomorrow.
But about 8pm some fellow campers whom we met briefly yesterday came into the lounge area & we talked for more than half an hour... 
Ivan & Terri Beard offered us (or our gear) a lift slong the way, or to Stanley tomorrow... Could this work to get our gear dropped ahead, and then we can walk more..
