Destination...

After about a 20 minute drive we arrived at the top of a hill at this old Anglican church ruin. It was apparently built for the convicts and a perfect setting for some family photos. 
Next time we are all together, but with no one missing, (and who knows when that will be)  we are coming back for sure!










This last one is at great Bay... the kids are calling out to Grandad, Aunty Elle and Bek who are in the boat fishing for our tea!


Thanks again Leigh... you make us all look really good!!! 

So I just looked up a bit of information on the old Church up there... quite interesting! Doesn't say anything about convicts.... so either that came later or Bill has his story mixed up!! hehe

well I'm glad you plan on going back - mum was really upset about not being there and I felt bad for her - she even had a little tear in her eye.
Good photos though...

I thought this was funny;
Access by the public is limited to supervised and authorised entry only!!

hey this place looks interesting. Do you think we could check it out at YW camp? Maybe Elle could take us there?? is it in walking distance? or would we have to drive first?

Hi Hannah,

You are authorised to enter the old church without supervision because the old church was funded by one of Gail's ancestors, on June's side!
How about that! William Lawrence has a big grave on the island too.

Because everyday is different and we can't remember them all, I thought I had better start writing them down. Welcome to life in the Challis home - where everyday is different!
