Australia... a glimpse into our holiday!



Our Australian Holiday!!!
My new parents, pa Louw and ma Rita, sponsored us to come and visit them in Perth over the December holidays! Due to a slight hiccup from the travel agent we ended up flying via Dubai (only an 18hr flight). But still, it was such an awesome experience.

They really spoiled us during our trip there, showing us all the 'have-to-see's' in and around Perth and then we also spent Christmas about 250km down the coast at Dunsborough.

Australia really is a beautiful country (the parts we managed to see) and there is a lot of History! Even though the cities are clean, the people in general are well off and poverty is definitely not as visible as it is here, we can really pray for the country. The biggest thing I picked up while on holiday is that, because it is going so well in the country, the people don't have a dependency upon God...

Below are just some of the pictures we brought back! I have always wanted to visit Australia, and we will definitely visit the parents again, but I am glad that we had return tickets!
