On
Christmas Eve, after Bill fainted for the 2nd time in 2 days while seeing
patients, we made very quick arrangements to head South to get him checked out. I got to accompany the McCoys to Australia,
in case something came up on the flight.
Thankfully, Bill got better in a few days, however, flights home to PNG
weren't available until the 1st of January.
So we made the most of the extra days in Australia and got to enjoy the hospitality of fellow Church of the Nazarene Missionaries, John and Vicki
Moore who live just outside of Brisbane and were willing to host us while we waited
for a flight home.

John and
Vicki were very gracious hosts. They enjoy birdwatching and made sure we saw a lot of birds in our few days with them. They showed us all the local flora and fauna and sites around them on Tambourine Mountain. I got to celebrate my
birthday by going on a rainforest canopy walk and into some Australian national
parks and having watermelon. It was an
unexpected, but very nice few days away (after we knew Bill was okay).
