Quotes of the trip... so far...

Having fun on the deck!!!
A spontaneous stop at the beach!!!
 The sky's the limit!
 Hungry for information on our Sarah Island tour...
 The chief for the day!
 Got a photo of Daniel!
 Some find it just too much...
 Staying warm..
 The crew....
 The best history lesson... (sorry Mrs Moore)
 Having a bad hair day!
 FRRRRREEEEDDDDDDDOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!
 Calling loved ones...
 Having a Titanic moment...
 Trying to break out of prison is easy when you don't have walls...
Captain Riley Cook!!!!!!!

Quotes for the trip so far:
Lauren: What are miners?
Justin B: (on Spirit of Tas.) When are we leaving? (ship left an hr ago)
Hannah: What's an all-nighter?

Riley: One in a thousand people die of germs.
Piltzy (replies): Everybody needs to get dirty.

Courtney: There's a dolphin!!!!! (she points to a floating stick)
Katrina: I got zapped by my shower!
David: (After returning from the wilderness) That is thicker than it looks.

Last night during devotions we learnt about Love... We had some fantastic discussions (mainly involving Caitlin, Natalie and Troy). We had wonderful revelations about God's love...
Today we went on the Gordon River cruise, which the students Loved!!! (coincidence I think not). They went up and talked to the captain (Brad would not leave his side). We saw beautiful rainforests where we learnt we could live for 5mins extra by breathing this air.. (We started bottling it). We spotted a seal today and enjoyed hanging out on the ship's deck. In Strahan we saw Tasmanian Timbers where there was a $7000 rocking horse made from the finest timber Huon. Which takes 1500 yrs to be fully grown, thus the hefty price tag.. We have had a wonderful day.. It has even been sunny... We are blessed!!
Catch you later.
ps. Don't miss us too much!

  4. Hi everyone,
    Love your braid Hayley! Looks like you've had a great day, but you still can't compare with the excitement of our day in Wagga. The highlight for Lauren today was going to the new Aldi in town.....yep, do they even have Aldi in Tasmania??! We stocked up on our favourite Aldi icecreams, hopefully will have one left for you by Friday.
    Church was great this morning, we prayed for you all in Tassie. Looks like we should have prayed extra for Mr Gilmour if he's passed out already and it's only day 3.
    Dad wants to remind you to set your alarm for swimming at 5.15am....although the water might be a bit colder than the Oasis. Dad's highlight today was the Roosters winning against all odds against St George (he's a happy camper).
    Looking forward to reading all you're going to LOVE tomorrow (just to stick with the theme).
    Lots of love, The Morris'xxxx

  8. Actually, at first glance I thought the first picture was snow beside the sea...and then I read the caption. It's all this talk of cold!! Stay safe, keep warm, be blessed and travel in God's favour. Love and prayers.
