Lack Of Public Transport Saved Melbourne’s East

My first experience of Melbourne was the inner east. Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell. Box Hill was out there. Nunawading was another universe away. Being in inner city Melbourne or as I call it Melbourne Proper meant Trams and Trains..

  • Riding against the wind

    The winds of change are blowing across the face of the planet, and they are not necessarily blowing tidings of good for those who seek to follow Christ. Being a Christian means that we will have to push against the wind many times.

  • In your freedom I will live

    I just went for a walk with a friend at our local Jells Park in South-East Melbourne. Don’t worry! Victoria’s COVID restrictions allow us to exercise with a friend for up to 2-hours a day – so it’s all legit!

  • No jab, no job…oops…no church

    The last few weeks have certainly been an upheaval, with a community outbreak of Covid-19 sending New Zealand into lockdown, but since that upheaval looks like most of us just spending a lot more time at home—something we have done before—I’m optimistic that we have all found ways, even small ways, to manage this change.
