The genius that is the Bottle And Bird.
I can’t recall seeing a combination bottleshop and takeaway drive through anywhere else, but this Whyalla institution thrives, even on Show weekend.

A Favourite Sight In Adelaide
Next to the toll-gate driving out of town, another favourite sight in Adelaide is seeing my bag come out on the carousel at the airport.
Different Platform, Same Train
Today’s full attendance at the QTC Gospel Worker’s Study Week, which finished with a dinner and panel question time means that I’m at Central Station waiting for a train that leaves two minutes earlier than the one I caught at Roma Street last night.
Back tomorrow for sessions that will conclude around lunchtime.
High-Backed Seats
The seatbacks on Brisbane trains are a lot higher than I remember.
Makes for a greater sense of isolation, but you can hardly tell the carriage is pretty empty.
Cleveland Train
Night-time train platform waiting for the 8.50 to Cleveland. Only going as far as Wynnum on the train, then the remainder by car.
Peppermint Tea
A relaxing end to a long day that involved lots of travel.
When Sermon Illustrations Come To Life…
So, I mentioned yesterday that God’s will is known to be certain only in hindsight and volunteered that I was traveling to Brisbane and I’d know it was God’s will that I go there when I arrived.
I took this photo of Rundle Mall on my morning walk today intending to contrast it with, perhaps, the Queen St Mall in Brisbane.
Instead, I’ll include this photo of Melbourne. 
Our direct flight was cancelled and we’ve been transferred on a two-step flight with an arrival time five hours or so later than intended. We’ll go (hopefully, if it’s God’s will) directly from the airport to the opening service of assembly.
Such is the stuff sermon illustrations are made of.
By the way, this is why I travel qantas when I get the choice, replacement booking, food voucher, help in other ways. Their customer service is outstanding.
Anyway, later there’ll be photos from Brisbane.
I hope.
