Mackay!

In mid-January we drove to Mackay for Ian's new job as a high-school teacher. It took us three days! On the way up we had dinner in Rockhampton with Vicky whom we had met at CMS Summer School.

It rained so much that parts of Mackay flooded. The water was knee-deep inside some of Ian's classrooms!
We don't understand why people insist on building on a tidal swamp.

CMS Summer School

The year started, as usual, with CMS Summer School on Mt Tamborine. There we met a lady named Vicky who lives in Rockhampton. We also got to know some of the new missionaries, such as the Greeffs, and those in training who will go next year, such as the Barlows and the Weekes.
