Welcome to the Wangaratta Australia Branch

They took some dividers from the cultural hall and made a little out house, this is what was inside. That print out is an old folk song about a guy who got bit on the rear end by a redback. It was a funny song.
A funny decoration unique to Australia
Sister Wilson prepared a huge box of Aussie goodies and books, she even wrapped the box in "The Wiggles" wrapping paper, it was so awesome. She prepared a binder with pamphlets and information fliers about all the local communities and attractionsenough to keep us busy the whole time we are here.
They put on quite a show for us, they sang a bunch of Aussie folk songs in a stage decorated with live gum tree branches. We had such a fun time, we were all singing along.

Maeby made new friends with the missionaries.

We had a contest, Australia against USA, who could blow a balloon up the fastest using no hands, then we had to tie it (with hands) and then run over and burst it by sitting on it. Will made the Americans proud.

Happy Easter, Aussie Style


This little roo needs a pouch for all his booty.
