1000hrs: New Hope Church starts and we happen to be at the right place at the right time so we go in and join worship.

1030hrs: BBQ in the outback!
Didn’t manage to stay for the whole church
service because of orientation plans which involved taking a coach full
of international students somewhere in the outback near Perseverence
Lake. Also took a bushwalk where we saw kangaroos!!! No koala’s
though…*sigh*

1350hrs: Head back
to USQ

1500hrs: Go house visiting
and look for prospective places to rent
because my current accomodation is only for the orientation period.

1800hrs: Meet up with Denni
for going to a West Presbyterian (however you spell it) church.

1830hrs: Go scouting for church.
Brought by Byron but the church he
attends started too early and we missed it so we look for any services
that start at 7pm.

1910: Give up looking for churchs…
saw plenty on the way, at least 6
but all either started way earlier or doesn;t have eveing service.

1930: Go dinner instead at a chinese restaurant.
Pig out and the bill
was 82 Aussie Dollars!!! Divided by 5 people was AUD16.60 per person.
*gulp*

2130hrs: Arrive back at Uni…
proceeds to online after being given directions from Denni.

2300hrs: Fed up
with trying to log into skype through the university’s
network. Can get thru to MSN but Skype seems to have problem.

2355hrs: Current time
and done with online-ing. Going to sleep now because have to get up at 6 something again tomorrow…*sigh*


**reasons for trying so hard to log into skype was because wanted to
call my dad and tell him that everything’s gone alright and tell Linzhi
that I accidentally took the Touch & Go card with me to
Australia…hehe…I figured this will be the best way to tell you. If
you don’t read this than tough luck.

More Pics Here!
