Road Trip Lennox Head

One of the great aspects of the Easter conference is heading on the surfers road trip! We had a great time travelling with Aaron, Albags, Paddy, Zank and Jared, as well as my family.

Heading up we caught up with former leaders Marty Dures (cheers for the accommodation Marty) and breakfast with old salts Luke Hadfield and George Watt. Then I convinced the groms to detour to visit our former North NSW RC Boyd Pope in a hippie commune (go Boyd, 60 and still grooving). Boyd showed us his artwork, hand made home, Greenough spoon, and was even playing 'Morning of the Earth' to set the scene. He is shining the Jesus light there as he has been for so many years.

Up at conference we saw Jon and Anita Woods, now a Presbyterian minister at Byron Bay, and they're fitting in really well (love the dreads Anita) and seeking to shine a contemporary biblical Christianity in a town that is far, far away from that.

Coming back, we stayed at the Browns shed, and what a 'shed' it is with bunk room, honeymoon residence, ping pong table, etc. complete in farm setting with cow aroma! Thanks Pete and Bec!

After a 4WD up the beach to back Hat Head the boys scored empty waves and it was a great way to finish off the road trip. The people and places along the way made it, as they say the most significant things are not the destination, but the journey. God is good.
