Arrived in Australia at last!!!

Just arrived yesterday. We are eating lunch in the Carlingford Shopping Center. Do we look a bit jet lagged? We were!!!













This is Peggy and Ken Stevens, our predecessors. He is Rozanne's uncle, Marva's brother. They were very nice to us. We will live in their flat










What is a didgeridoo? It is an Aborginal musical instrument that is the craze with tourists and senior missionaries alike!
This is the kiosk at the Paddy Market in Sydney (which is a huge flea market) where they sell "the best" didgeriedoos. Ken Stevens took home a bunch of them. You blow into one end and this mournful sound comes out of the other end.














Senior Missionaries, Elder Anderton, Elder McMullin and Elder Keyes playing their didgeridoos.


















Queen Victoria Building has upscale shops and restaurants and houses the largest rail station in the Sydney train network in the basement. The inside is very beautiful.














International clock inside the Queen Victoria Building.















Details of the International clock.














This was where we ate lunch on Friday afternoon in downtown Sydney in the China Town area. This was a large room with tables and chairs. Around the perimeter of the room were kiosks that sold different oriental food. Some were Chinese, or Japanese or Thai. You would order from whichever kiosk looked the best to you. It was good food and not too expensive. Sort of a fast food Oriental food court.
