Lateline - God is Back

Last night we saw the Lateline interview with John Micklethwait (author of "God Is Back"). The text & video are on the Lateline website. Meanwhile, if you're super-keen, ABC radio also has an mp3 interview with him.

Night Bushwalk

Saturday's bushwalk was a great time. It was a bit muddy in places, due to recent rain, but was still a great experience.

State of Origin

State of Origin time is here again. Game 1 was a lot of fun - and top it off we had leftover yummies from Canadianight. In exchange for these treats (apparently they're called "Nanaimo") we explained the intricacies of rugby league and State of Origin to our resident Canadian.

Canadianight

"Canadian Culture Night" certainly lived up to the billing. After the trivia quiz, which increased our knowledge of Canada, there was some delicious Candian deserts (especially considering the unavailability of certain Canadian ingredients). It was topped off by "Bon Cop Bad Cop" - a bilingual Canadian movie, which is a bit violent in parts, but very clever. As far as Canadian movies go, i give it 4 out of 5 maple leafs.

Bike Ride (after the rain)

Saturday's rain did clear up at about 4.30 which left a nice little hour for a ride to Anzac Park and the new overpass that crosses over to Mt Coot-tha. The photo is of Tamara on the overpass. It's unclear what the two-finger salute means, but i'm taking it in a friendly way :)

Lifting the Lid

Uniting World is a new organisation that teams up with churches in Asia, Africa and the South Pacific to assist them in their mission. “Lifting the Lid on UnitingWorld” was a chance to hear about the good work they do - particularly in the Pacific region.
