This is such a nice place for Peter to go to work. The advantages a many. Peter travels against the flow of peak-hour traffic both ways. He sometimes takes the bus and this trip is mostly direct. The township still has that country feel because the town community is still resisting the entry of the big consumer franchises. It is nestled among the foothills of the Great Divide. The Chaplaincy Committee that provides for two chaplains (Ian and Peter) is supported by all five churches in the town. The monthly market at the Showgrounds is very much a relaxed community event, a place to meet people while raising funds for the Chaplaincy Committee. There is a Catholic Primary and a State Primary School and a well established Secondary College. Peter has enjoyed becoming a part of the State Primary School community and is finding his place there. Yet there is a very real sense that Peter is growing roots into the life of the town itself.
The picture of the township was taken looking east and this picture above shows what was seen in the opposite direction. A place to be still. A safe place.
