In the presence of God down south
I have been in Australia for almost three weeks. As I am here by myself, I feel a sense of longing for friends. At the same time, I am reminded of the need for solitude. Of which, I get both. Staying hostels and going on different tours, I meet a lot of different people. Guy […]
Seeking Christ Down South
I have been in Australia for two weeks now. One week at the Transplant Games. The next week wander around Fraser Island and Harvey Bay. I brought a few books and the Bible with me. I attended a friend’s church and we had great fellowship time. One of the book I am reading is Life […]
Backpacking across Australia I’ve been to Fraser Island and Harvey Bay for the past week. It is simply stunning there. Fraser Island is a 100 km island made up of sand. I was expecting to be one big sand dune. It was. At the same time, it had a lot of various vegetation. From forest […]
