Outreach Week1
Our first day on outreach was amazing. Despite the fact I am not good at early mornings, I managed to force myself out of bed just in time for breakfast and with enough time to make lunch. We had our meeting and before I knew it we were off. In the Optometry department, we are…

YWAM MS PNG
The people of PNG are so incredibly kind hearted. Everything about them screams Godliness and compassion for other people. On the Sunday, it was clearly a more relaxed day for all, as everyone seemed to sleep in so I took no stress in getting out of bed or trying to push my body into gear.…

In light of the Notre-Dame fires…
(Totally unedited, straight out my head to the keyboard, unfiltered and possibly wrong in every way. So read at your own caution) I started writing this on the 16th April. It’s now the 21st. It is absolutely tragic, don’t get me wrong, to lose such a precious and historical building. For such destruction to break…

PNG Lazy Days
I made it to PNG safety, and totally ready for the adventure. Flying over the country was so beautiful, with so many mountains, and a few settlements while the rest appears completely untouched. I was sat next to a local, who noticed my obsession with starring out the window and started talking to me about…

THE Tour Pt5
Brisbane was a long time coming, for a long time there. I Stayed for just over a week and a half I believe, with the deadline of my PNG flight from there. It was an amazing time of freedom after being trapped for what seemed like forever. I can’t tell if I did a lot…

THE Tour Pt4
Here begins the real curveball of my trip. I arrive back in rainbow beach, in the beautiful beautiful sun around 3:30 absolutely shattered from such a long day- or rather the early morning, and feeling exhausted from travelling quite a bit and trying to enjoy so much of the time I had. Skipping to Friday,…

THE Tour Pt3
Fraser Island was another group tour. I wasn’t really sure what to expect except an early morning, and potentially some swimming. I arrived at the pick up point to see some crazy monster truck looking thing. It was black with massive tires and it was a bus, so it was pretty big. There were a…

THE Tour Pt2
Coach journeys are strange. I’m not big on long car journeys or coach or bus journeys unless I’m in the drivers seat- a trait I get from my dad I believe. But in Australia its the option that makes the most sense when travelling the coast on a budget. The only other potential option is…

THE Tour Pt1
7pm and I was on another overnight bus, this time out of Sydney over to Byron Bay. This was the start of my east coast tour, which makes up majority of my Australia trip so far. I knew I had my YWAM trip starting the 22nd February, and I had a flight out on the…

Next Stop Sydney!
If you haven’t met me, let me introduce myself. I’m Beth: Queen of the last minute. I am better at nothing than being last minute and late… so many people will testify to that. I came out to Australia with only really wanting to see Melbourne and the Gold Coast. To be honest, I wasn’t…
