July 20th

Went on a walking tour of the city today. Started off going over Goodwill Bridge, past the Botanical gardens, where Jon left us to go and join Ian for a local pastors meeting, round through the city – there are quite a few beautiful Art Deco buildings and loads of amazing high rise towers - then back to the apartment. Jon's meeting involved several local pastors and he found it interesting finding out the Baptist churches in the area and some of the positive things that have been happening recently, but also some of the challenges they have been facing.

In the evening we went up to Kangaroo Point again to look at the city at night. The girls were fascinated by the idea that the stars were completely different to the ones we normally see, but found the evening a bit chilly. The city lights were pretty though, and while we were looking out a bat screeched and flew over our heads!
