Simpson Desert

We spent the previous night in Moree, famous for its many warm artesian swimming pools. It is a lovely country town. After a coffee we departed for Armidale. We drove through lovely countryside with many bush camping sights that we plan to visit again. We passed through Warialda, Bingara and Bundarra along the Gwydir river and reached the final stop of our trip where we will be spending 3 nights and will be joined by Theresa to visit Shannon. Shannon entered as a postulant with the Sisters of the Immaculata in February this year. We have only spoken to her on the phone twice since so we’re really excited to see her again. We had an afternoon with her to ourselves and the jam donuts. And then joined the community for dinner. A very special evening shared by all and lovely to spend more time with the other Sisters. We ended the day with a communal rosary prayed in their beautiful chapel. Such a blessing to spend time with both our girls.Read more
