Danger- The Outback Wrangler

An interesting occupation in the Australian Northern Territory belongs to Matt Wright, otherwise known as the Outback Wrangler.

Making his dog the star. 

Matt is a helicopter pilot turned animal protector. He works with scientists, wildlife authorities, indigenous elders and cattle station owners, and whoever needs his help. He is a cross between Steve Irwin and Crocodile Dundee.

Matt can be watched on National Geographic's. 

How I love the Outback. There are animals roaming by the thousands, feral camels, kangaroos, emu's, dingo's, and more parrots of various varieties that are imaginable.

Kangaroos come in grey, brown and red.

In captivity Kangaroos are mostly tame but in the wild you don't go near them. 

The large flightless wild emu's.

Dingo Wild Dog

Colorful wild terrain 

This is why I love the Outback and why I write about it in all of my books.

The GREAT OutBack of Australia

Unless you have travelled to the Australian Outback, you have no idea of its magnitude or magnificence. Australia is the same size as the USA, yet not as populated. The orange brown interior shown on this map, is all Outback.

When hubby Ray and I returned from the U.S. to reside in tropical Queensland, the first thing Ray wished to do was travel around and see more of the country.
An animal and bird lover he ran after everything he saw.

The Emu, flightless large bird, who will chase you in return.

He had no idea of the expanse of our interior. Neither was he aware of it's dangers. Needless to say at times I was terrified when he disappeared off to explore alone.

Some of our highlights were:
Those enormous trucks called ROADTRAINS.

The colourful landscape.

                                  Unique rock formations.
                            Wild animal herds everywhere.
                                   Lonely homesteads.

I love the solitude, nature, peace, and especially the stars at night.

Unique Church No1 - OUTBACK AUSTRALIA

This unique SERBIAN church is in the desert Outback town of Coober Pedy in South Australia. Temperatures reach beyond 40 degrees Celsius.

For that reason the coolest place is beneath the ground. 

This beautiful church was created for worship by miners who
came to work and live in the town.

Inside there's a church hall, parish house and even a school. 

The stained glass internal windows are lit up using electric lights to bring their glorious effect.

Even while searching for opals and wealth, God is not forgotten

I love the Outback - so I share about it in my books.

BEWARE of a Root of Bitterness in Your Life.

 Photo of a Twin Boab Tree taken by Raymond Lindsey, outback Australia.

Just as the roots of a tree bury deep within the ground.

So do the Roots of Bitterness, bury deep within your heart.

Those Roots are revealed in Jealousy, Unrighteous Anger, Revenge and Hatred.

 A Root of Bitterness causes havoc in a believers life. They are plagued constantly by their own poisonous thoughts.

In fact that person, although they may claim to be a Christian, are not.           

And this is what the Word of God says about it.

"But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.  For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice."

James 3:14-16

Results of Bitterness

Just as we only have ourselves to blame for becoming bitter, we only have ourselves to blame for the consequences. Once we step upon the road of bitterness, we can only expect it to lead to evil. The destination of bitterness is hatred, cruelty, revenge, self­pity, hypocrisy, jealousy, competition, and confusion. In the end, a life of sin will not only be lived, but justified. James says it so clearly, "Where there is bitter envying and strife, there is confusion and every evil work." Bitterness is a great tool Satan uses to bring about the destruction of a believer's spiritual life and testimony.

What is amazing is everyone recognizes the problem except the one who is bitter! Bitterness blinds them from the truth. The only pleasure a bitter person has is to enlist others in their bitterness. Thus, not only does a bitter person lose their friends, but they are unable to make other friends. (See Proverbs 14:10.)

Bitterness leaves them standing alone. 

Never feel justified by your bitterness.
(The only justifiable anger, is righteous anger, like defending the helpless.)

Ask God to fill you to overflowing with the  fruits of His spirit.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galations 5:22-23

 

Old Man Emu

 Every time I look at my photo of Ray and our little dog Monty with the Emu I have to laugh.

 We were staying in an outback Caravan Park where an emu roamed.
I thought it belonged to the owners, so told Ray we needed to keep an eye out that Monty didn't take after it.
Ray isn't used to the antics of emu's and let Monty off his lead.
Immediately our little dog took off, chasing the big bird.
Around a shed they raced, out of sight while Ray and I watched, horrified that we'd be asked to leave the park.
Next thing Monty comes running for his life, with the tables turned....
The emu was chasing him at full speed.
Monty ran behind a stunned Ray and myself, diving under the caravan for cover..
Gosh we laughed!!


I went off to apologise to the Park owners.
"Oh, he doesn't belong to us," they reassured.
"And don't feed the thing or he'll be knocking on your door day and night."
Well, it was too late. Ray had already fed it and now we knew who'd been waking us up!


Poor Monty, he kept well away from that big eyed emu in future...
There is was no way, he could out run one of them!

SEE GOD !!!

"My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my savour."
Luke 1:46-47

Where? Oh Where, do you see the hand of God.....???
I see Him everywhere.

                                                                 A Friend and I
                                  In Fellowship, Prayer and Communion with other believers.
  

In the Joy of Nature.

The Olga's Northern Territory.

Devils Marbles (Karlu Karlu)

 

Known by the Aboriginals as Karlu Karlu, these granite boulders are an impressive sight.
Located in outback Australia driving from Tennant Creek to Alice Springs they are scattered across a wide shallow valley. 
They balance precariously on the top of one another in seemingless disarrangement.

My husband Ray appears to hold them up between him (don't be fooled)....LOL

It's difficult to see, but he's wearing a veiled hat to keep the annoying bush flies at bay.

Caravans park overnight for tourists to capture the landscapes at sunrise and sunset.

 

The environment at Devils Marbles provides shelter to a diverse range of wild life. 

The boulders are a secure breeding ground for the Fairy Martins and Zebra finches as well as many breeds of lizards. 

 

Here's two cheeky little fellows.

Psalms 84:1 "How lovely is they dwelling place.

Oh Lord of Heavens Armies."

SACRED "Underground" SUNDAY

FARAWAY.......In an underground City called Coober Pedy people worship in a different world.
 This City sits on the edge of The Stuart Ranges in the State of South Australia.

OPALS MINING abounds here and for that reason care needs to be taken.

Beautiful Opals of all different colours and size may be found.

The name Coober Pedy is Aboriginal and means "white man in hole."  

Which is applicable when you realise 80% of the townfolk live in hand cutout dwellings underground.

Temperatures of extreme heat in summer and penetrating cold in winter, makes life beneath the surface more bearable.. 

This is the outside visable entrance to one of the churches.

The interior of two (2) of the churches show how they have been hewn out of the rock.

Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me" (Psalms 139:7-10).
