My Walkabout - Port Campbell

Monday, July 20, 2009 ·

a picture I took on the drive to Port CampbellWhen I was little, an overseas vacation meant a trip with my parents. They would be the ones handling meals, transport, accommodation, tickets, timing and procedure. I realised recently that my parents have a very unique style of touring. Very laid back, very relaxed, very unplanned. You could say I haven't been on a vacation with them for a really long time. When we were checking in to our flight in Singapore, there was some problem with immigration that needed to be cleared. According to their records, they thought I was still travelling under my mom's passport.

a scene of the 12 apostlesThe trip was fantastic. It was a brilliant conversation with Jesus. I loved the long drive from Melbourne Airport to the Great Ocean Road. My breath would be taken away at every corner. Whether it would be the sunlight shy through the trees, or the vast expanse of sky, boldly crying for attention. What I really liked was the lazy fog trying to hide the landscape. As if it could.


Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD, over many waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the LORD flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD sits enthroned as king forever.
May the LORD give strength to his people!
May the LORD bless his people with peace!
Psalm 29 (ESV)
