Sunday 4th March.
We started this beautiful Sunday listening to the Tassie rain
fall on our roof. We then had a scrumptious buffet breakfast together of
pancakes, crumpets, croissants and yoghurt. We then were able to sit down
together and read a sermon from Rev. Veldman. The sermon was about Hope +
Salvation. Based on Romans 8: 17-30.
After our sermon we packed a picnic lunch and headed out to
the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. With a gold coin donation we were able
to see all that this 14 hectare park had to offer. It was amazing. And very
fitting that we were able to see and be part of God’s wonderful creation on
this blessed Sunday.
We were able to walk along viewing the different displays
from the cultural heritage areas, Tasmanian plant displays, the horticultural displays
and the origin planting. We saw sights such as;
the Lily pond, the ferny rainforest house, conservatory, we then stopped
for some yummy lunch then off again viewing Pete’s (Peter Cundall) veggie
patch, a cactus house , then off to the Rose Arbour, the French memorial Garden
and the Japanese Garden. It was truly beautiful all the different display’s,
(showing various countries) beautifully put together for us to enjoy.
Around 3 we quickly headed to our apartments for some warmer
gear and took off up Mt. Wellington. It was really exciting getting higher and
higher up the mountain and seeing the view. It was so COLD up the top though!
Lucky we were all rugged up! Sophie looked like a little marshmallow. So
FLUFFY! :D It was also very windy, at one point we were all leaning at quiet an
angle just to stand up, highly entertaining for us though. After taking a lot
of photos of selves and views, we headed back down the mountain. Then for a
quick drive by the Cascades to show us the beautiful building, we then headed
back home, for a quiet night.
