Cairns and Uluru

Waiting for sunset at Uluru

We had a great time in Cairns and thankfully the cyclone weakened so we were spared the high winds forecast.  We had a fabulous day out on a boat to the Great Barrier Reef and enjoyed wandering around the Cairns shops in the warm rain!

While at the Yulara resort we asked about Christian worship as we were there on a Sunday and found a small Christian fellowship who meet in one of the hotels on a Saturday evening so we went along to join them.  There is a transient population at the resort maintaining the hotels, airport, tourist industry and the small group of about 8 Christians gather every Saturday for worship in one of the hotel meeting rooms.  We've been here for three weeks and experienced three very different styles of worship which we have enjoyed in different ways.

Uluru and Kata Tjuta were awe inspiring though the resort was rather overpriced...captive audience!
