So, after living in 3 places in
one month – we finally have a place to unpack our bags and stay for a
while. However, the next day, Friday, we
unpacked our carry-on bags and repacked them so that we could travel once again
this time to Mudgee.
Mudgee is a small
community of 10,000 people almost 3 hours northeast of Cowra. Mudgee is an aboriginal name meaning “nest in
the hills”.
It is a beautiful valley
surrounded by forest covered hills.
Another Senior Mission Couple lives there. Mudgee has monthly community markets the
first Saturday of the month. The
Challis’ (the senior couple) set up a family history booth and offer free
family history assistance. Cowra and
Canowindra also have monthly Saturday Markets and we wanted to observe what they
do and how they do it.
We had an
enjoyable time exploring Mudgee and spending time ( and money) at the
Market. We learned so much from Elder
and Sister Challis – much more than how to run a family history booth. We
learned considerable about how to do that and got some good training from them
on how to do missionary work and increase good will in a small town.
On Saturday, we traveled with the Challis's to a cafe at a winery in a picturesque setting. The Bush of Australia has fertile farmland. Vineyards and Olive orchards abound as well as sheep and cattle ranches.
After a lovely lunch we went for a walk in a beautiful park. And like everyone told me before we left for Australia - Watch for Snakes - everyone is watching out for me. Ha Ha
We could not resist this picture! What a fun idea for a park bench! Aussie's know how to have fun!
