Wow, another year has flown past! I was down in Melbourne in December for our Provincial Assembly, along with Deacon Joseph Wojem and student representative Bro. Osborne. Later I had about ten days holiday in Sydney - my birthplace - with Br Osborne and Br Lawrence Bosekana, who is studying in Australia. The two Melanesian brothers were particularly delighted with one excursion: taking a train across the Harbour Bridge to Milson's Point, and then walking back over the bridge to the city. (We also walked up to the top of one of the pylons.)
Other excusions included the usual Sydney icons: the Three Sisters (a forest of "selfie sticks" !), Manly ferry, Parramatta River ferry, Opera House, St Mary's cathedral etc etc.
Got back to Moresby on 23rd, just in time for Christmas. Usual lunch ... stretching from 12.30 till after 6 pm! About 35 people in total ... here are just a few snaps ...

Plenty of fruit on a hot day makes a good entrée.
