Rachelle's in Town

Rachelle popped into Sydney for a friend's wedding. I was so happy she could hook up with us for Thai food. It has become our tradition whenever she's in town.

Eden's Rosebush

An enormous flower off of Eden's rosebush.

Jacaranda Trees

These jacaranda trees bloom for two weeks in November. We look so forward to seeing them every year.

The Dome

My carnivorous husband downing a burger at The Dome.

Scarborough Beach

We finally made it to Perth and went to Scarborough Beach to watch the sunset.

The kite-surfers are amazing.

Enjoying the gorgeous scenery with my best friend.

The sun always sets too fast.

Honky Tonk

I laughed so hard when I saw this: Honk if you Honk-y Tonk. That is something I'd expect to see in Texas.

Dinner with Paul & Norm

We hooked up with Paul and Norm for dinner. It was very surreal meeting them on the west coast of AU.

Mmmm, Italian...my favourite.

Yard Art

I have witnessed pink flamingos, garden gnomes, and bleach bottle windmills on people's front lawns, however, never before I have seen the leaning tower of Pisa!

Eden Gate Blueberry Farm

I got all choked up when I saw Eden Gate Blueberry Farm on our map. I was so disappointed that they didn't open until next month.

Thank you God for always pointing us to her name. I love being reminded of my baby girl. I LOVE YOU EDEN LANAY!

NO FROTH!

We stopped at the Mt Barker Country Bakery for arvo tea.

I was stunned to find this much froth in my weak, skim, NO FROTH hot chocolate!

Whale World

We visited Whale World in Albany. Whaling was done here between 1952 - 1978.

The remains of an enormous Blue Whale.

You're so precious.

I could see how Jonah could have easily fit inside this whale's stomach for three days.

Word Conference Speakers

Bill Welsh, pastor of Refuge Calvary Chapel in Huntington Beach, CA.

Raul Ries, pastor Calvary Chapel Golden Springs, CA. His testimony brought me to tears.

Ryan Ries, son of Raul, from Exit Concerts and member of The Whosoevers. His talk was the most sincere and powerful I have ever heard. He turned his life around after reading a Gideon Bible in a hotel in South America. He has one mission now and that is to reach young people in the heavy metal arena for Christ.

More Roos

Aren't they adorable?

I was hoping the joey on the right would pop up.

Rotary Lookout

Naked Bean Coffee Roasters

We went to Then Naked Bean for brekkie.

My skim, flat, weak hot chocolate was SO good, I think they should call themselves The Naked Coffee and Cocoa Bean.

This was one VERY busy coffee shop. Everyone pops in for a cup of joe and a glance at the morning newspaper.

Luke and Bryan

Jesus vs Santa

We spotted this house on our way back to our hotel. Hmmm, is CHRISTmas about Jesus or Santa? I am so glad the cross is on top!
