Day 6 - Monday 7th August

Marshmallow Madness

We woke up to a brilliant bright red moon setting on the horizon, and the sun rising in the east. Some of us were able to tick ‘seeing two sunrises in one morning’ off the bucket list with Brother Paul telling us that we could see the first sun rise by watching it come over the top of the horizon from the hill we had climbed the previous night and then climbing down the hill in time to see the sun rise over the top of it.

We then feasted on fire-cooked toast that we cooked using a clever roasting contraption that Clay twisted together and a small metal cooking rack. Around mid-morning we rolled up the swags and headed back to the community.

The community was quiet with today being a public holiday for the Northern Territory due to a rodeo and races being held down in Harts Range that attracted a lot of people.

This evening we attended another mass at the church, and then attended dinner at the Brothers house where we were shown an interesting video explaining a bit of information behind the reason for the paintings along the church walls and a little bit of history of the community and why they moved to where they are now. 

Dinner was a lovely pasta bake and salad followed by a desert of ice-cream honeycomb slice put together by Teresa and hepers. We also took a step back in time and flicked through a few photos of past immersion groups and past photos of SION and the Brothers.

And now it’s goodnight from Santa Teresa.

We leave you with the question; who cooked the gourmet meal for us at the brothers? and where was Pablo today?.
