A lot to share

Hi Fighter, Father Dave here with a very belated newsletter. I do apologise for the long lapses in communication. There was a time when I managed to keep in touch with my friends and supporters almost every week.  Nowadays I struggle to find time each month, and probably wouldn’t manage it now, except that I’m

Peace in Palmyra

Hi Fighter, We are back from Syria. We’ve been back for a a couple of weeks now, in fact, and I apologise for not publishing much about our journey until now. In truth, I’m still trying to process it all. It was a magnificent trip. We saw some amazing things and met many amazing people. As

Hi Fighter, I’ve been to Syria, I’ve come back, and at the moment I’m sick in bed. I guess I’ve been pushing myself a bit too hard, but I’m now on long-service leave and will hopefully get a bit of a break. People have been asking me how I would sum up our Syria experience

Week 2: we took another dozen

On the contrary, I’ve been struggling with a workload that threatens to overwhelm me at times, and I’ve got two major projects on the boil at the moment, and I’m looking

Christmas is almost upon us!

Hi Fighter, Father Dave here, and I’m starting this missive from sunny Binacrombi Bush Camp where we are about to ‘re-ignite’ things. No, we’re not about to start a bush fire but we have been closed for the last few weeks while we’ve been upgrading the water system and the power system, repairing the tracks

An appeal from Father Dave

Hi Fighter, I’m actually going to make two appeals to you today. The first is a simple one: please watch this Sunday night’s edition of “Compass” on ABC TV (Australia). Post by Compass. Mind you, I have not been given any special preview beyond this 30-second snippet so it is possible that this screening will cost
