Over the moon, under the stars and under the sea

Over the Moon

We had an amazing Christmas gift just before Christmas.  We were granted our 187 permanent residency visa for Australia.  A huge answer to prayer. Part of the letter is below.  We did not expect to see this until next year.  To say we are thankful is an understatement.  We are grateful to all those in MAF who made this possible.

Simon had to do an airstrip evaluation and was able to take Joshua, Zara and Islay along for the experience.

Dinner anyone?
 
Zara wasn't going to be eaten by anything so took the mosquito net.
Africa or Australia?


Under the Sea

A day out on the Barrier Reef - An awesome gift from friends.
Our pontoon for the day including a BBQ

I got a bit of a fright in the water when a jelly fish floated by.  Thought my time might be up but thankfully I managed to dodge it and we were wearing stinger suits so all good.  At the back of the pontoon there was an amazing amount of jellies.   The crew on the boat said these were of the non stingy variety so that was happy news!


Zara having her last swim in the ocean before heading home.  The water was a bit churned up so didn't see a whole lot under the water but a thoroughly enjoyable time nevertheless.
