Times-Advocate, 1985-04-10, Page 19Times -Advocate, April 10, 1985 Page 7A Couple tell Varna UCW of Australian holiday by Mary l'hessell Ron and Joyce Taylor spent a week with their son Craig and his wife Shelley of St. Albert, near Edmonton. A highlight of their trip, besides see- ing Craig and Shelley, was spending an evening at Stage West where Gayle Gordon, who starred in old TV shows, we're not sure which characters I was playing in a stage show. They also talked to former MPP Eddie Sargent. Bob and Marg Reid are hone from their winter vacation in Florida. Mildred McAsh collected $132 for the Red Cross in Varna and surroun- ding area in the March campaign. Murray and Olene Dennis showed pictures of their trip to Australia last year at the April meeting of Varna UCW. It is a fascinating country', thought to be the oldest continent on eartn. 1 ne land size is approximate- ly the same as the United States, and English is the only language in com- mon use. They landed in 'Townsville on the northeast coast near the Great Bar- rier Reef where they observed the coral and many kinds of fish from an underwater viewing station. They took a train trip up to the 7,000 foot level in the Great Divide Coastal Range. Most waterfalls are used to generate electricity. They saw ir- rigated crops of peanuts and sugar- cane. The temperature there goes as high as 42 degrees and sunhats are necessary. The couple then Clew to Alice Springs in the arid interior at the edge of the Macdonnel Range and toured coppermines and cattle ranches. Herds are small. as it requires 640 acres of the sparse range to feed one cattlebeast. A farmer has a five-year lease on his ranch, which is renewed if he is a good farmer. Ile pays $2,000 a year in taxes, but no rent. They climbed the barren red rock. and showed pictures of the strange and different animals, including the thorny devil, an anteater, dingos, red kangaroos, wallabies, water buffalos and camels. Camels were imported from Afghanistan, and they now ex- port bredding stock to Asian coun- tries. The mountains in the interior reminded one of the mountains of Afghanistan seen in Gordon Erb's pictures. They didn't see many Aborigines, as they tend to stay to themselves. They are paid $5 a day for each child who attends school. A dog is always with these people. . There are radio schools for the children of the interior with periodic school gatherings, because of the sparse population in that area. Everything closes at noon on Satur- day in Alice Springs for the weekend. Because of the heat, everyone wears shorts to church, including the minister and choir members. Their tour took them back over the mountains to the beautiful city of Sydney, population 3' million. Seven out of ten Australians are city dwellers. Sydney has red tiled roofs, lots of trees and flowers, and forty- three beaches. They toured orange groves, a winery and vineyards and visited an Anglican Church built in the late 1700s and still in use. Their five weeks pass- ed very quickly. Shirley Hill, Debbie Rathwell and Bonnie Roy presented an inspiring Easter worship service. Special music was provided by a quintet of Mona Stephenson, Helen Taylor, Ber- nice Reid, Joyce Dowson and Deb Rathwell, who also sang at Sunday's Easter church service. A thought- provoking skit was presented. A good attendance of members from Brucefield, Kippen, Bayfield and Goshen made for a rewarding evening. Fellowship was enjoyed around tables decorated with daf- fodils and pussy willows. BAKE SALE — Displaying some of the goodies for sale at the Zurich U.C.W. bake sale and tea are Mary Jacobe, Connie Lewis, Helen Geiger and Helen Consitt. I am sure everyone rejoiced of the beautiful sunny day we enjoyed on Easter Sunday. However, we don't seem to be promised a repeat of the same very soon. On Monday evening, the movies shown were "Maple Spring" and "The Years of Adventure", after which refreshments were served. The Ladies Auxiliary held their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday evening commencing with an Easter program in the dining room. Heidi and Tracy Martin sang several Easter hymns, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Grace Martin.
