Katherine Gorge Helicopter Flight

and 

Monsoonal Rains 

Last week, Mum and Dad were here for a visit

and my birthday present from Dave was 

a helicopter flight over the beautiful Katherine Gorge.

I was able to take Mum and Dad along for the ride! 

It was absolutely amazing to see it from the air. 

The country is just starting to green up and the water

is beginning to turn iced coffee brown. 

We had a great pilot who took us over 5 of the gorges

(longer than our paid for flight)

and explained interesting facts along the way.

 We flew along with the doors off the helicopter 

which was awesome, as I was in the front and it 

was great to be able to see everything so clearly. 

(thankfully, my little seatbelt held me in tightly)

We know, that despite the tour guides' explanations

of the Gorge forming millions of years ago, that 

God, the creator of the universe designed this amazing

Gorge just as He planned. 

God's handiwork is so evident in His creation,

from the tiniest plant to the deepest gorge! 

In other news, we have been blessed to experience 

some monsoonal storms finally! I sat out on the verandah

the other night for quite a while watching displays of 

God's almighty power. 

Psalm 147:5a 

Great is our Lord, and of great power:

Jeremiah 10:12-13

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures
