What a magic day!!  After a scenic drive through the Tasmanian country side we arrived at snow covered Cradle Mountain. Rapid fire arm actions meant that the snow didn't remain on the ground for very long and people quickly started ducking for cover.


Targets were chosen and hunted down, along with so called allies.  Snow angels and snowmen where made and we really didn't want to leave.



We then made our way to Sheffield - home of the murals and... went to the Lolly Shop!  Can you see a pattern developing?

Tonight we are at Poatina and have been well fed and watered.  Devotions was a time of great sharing as we looked at how to know God personally.  What an amazing group of students! They freely shared and encouraged each other which was such a privilege and a blessing to witness.

Bed is calling. We will report in tomorrow.

Love to all.
