Odds and Ends

Looking out from the front of the Library at UNI

This is where we meet the Missionaries and the investigators

to teach lessons. We go and sit on the lawn for the lesson.

(I end up itching from the grass )

The lessons are really wonderful the Chinese students have great questions.

They also keep their appointments.

Hello was about all he could say.
I told him to learn 5 new words each day.
He has and many more. Elder Cai is a blessing for the Chinese work here.

Coal Generators for Electricity.

About 100% of the Electricity is generated from coal

here in Australia.

Odds and Ends

This is one of the many Post Boxes all over Australia.

You have to put the out going mail in one of these.

They will not take it at the Post Office.

You can not put your out going mail in your own post box to be picked up either. This is what the Australians do with old tyres.
They are cut in half, put over the pipes coming up and going down into the ground.
Very good use of tyres that would end up in the Tip.

We love them.

We have lots of these trees in Tamworth.

I love the shapes of the branches.

Some tomatoes from my plants, out in front of our flat.
There are lots more turning red as I write.
They are tasty and meaty. We have lots of these Parrots walking and flying around every where.
They are beautiful and very noisy.
