The presence of God’s glory releases a supernatural energy and provides the potential for miracles. Energy is substance even if your eye cannot yet see it. David Herzog

Tasmania Day 10
Today we bade a fond farewell to Coles Bay, where the temperature this morning was 6 degrees, feels like -1. The wind was brutal, but no snow to be seen.
There are some nice towns along the way, such as Swansea and Sorrell, but right in the middle of nowhere we came across this coffee shop, where we enjoyed a nice cuppa and a Mars Bar slice. Lunch was cheese and ham on buns, enjoyed in the warmth of the car in a park in Sorrell.
The Salamanca Inn is located right next to the famous markets, but road closures made it hard to find our way in. We pulled over when we could find a parking space and rang the hotel. The receptionist cheerily told us to drive around the Road Closed barrier and into the car park where she would raise the barrier for us.
We found the place and checked in. This is our room…
Very classy!
With an hour to spare before closing time, we wandered down to the markets. It is exhausting just looking at it, let alone walk around the stalls. Apparently this happens every Saturday.
There are numerous transport options available. The Spirit of Tasmania does not normally come to Hobart, but is here to show off the latest incarnation before it returns to Melbourne for fitting out.
Margaret unwittingly demonstrated the changes in telecommunications in our lifetime.
It is Margaret’s birthday today, so feel free to call or text her with appropriate blessings. 😀
Dinner tonight is room service from the swanky hotel restaurant. Should be good!

When you are in the glory zone and speak out what God is telling or showing you, things will start to be created at that moment. David Herzog
Commit it to the Lord…
Tasmania Day 9
A beautiful start to the morning at Coles Bay today. Sky and sea are blue, no wind and not too cold.
The forecast was for deteriorating weather during the afternoon, so we decided to check out the Tourville Lighthouse.
The lighthouse is in the Freycinet National Park, just 15 km away.
We came across a group of people at one lookout. They were excitedly looking at a rocky island a little way off the coast.
If you look closely at the top of the rock on the left, you may see a dark spot, which it turns out is a fur seal. Zooming in on my original I actually found half a dozen scattered around the rock. Here is a cropped version that might help you see them.
This is our last night here. Just two more nights in Hobart before we fly home. It has been a very relaxing and refreshing time.
Quote for the Day
We need to get on our faces and cry out for a whole new visitation of glory as the apostles did, and pray for the new glory to be accompanied with signs, wonders, and miracles as Jesus promised it would be. David Herzog
Be kind and compassionate
Tasmania Day 8
Today we moved on from St Helens to Coles Bay, a 2 hour drive. We spent some time having lunch and checking out Bicheno. The ocean was amazing in its range of colours today, from really deep blue to the turquoise close to the coast.
There was a raging westerly gale today. It snowed in the highland regions. We are so thankful that we did that part of the trip last week. They are talking about snow down to 300 metres tonight, perhaps even in Hobart.
Although we weren’t able to get to the Bay of Fires yesterday, both these photos show the orange lichen growing on the rocks which gave the bay its name.
At about 2 pm we rocked up to our studio apartment in Coles Bay. THis will be our home the next couple of nights
It is very cosy, and much better than just a motel room. The first thing that Margaret did was get some dirty clothes into the washing machine and then the dryer. The apartment comes with a wood heater that I think we might be lighting tonight.
And here is the view from our front door.
As the sun set behind us this afternoon, it really lit up those mountain peaks. I won’t be too surprised if they are white in the morning,
Quote for the Day
Not many seem to realise that to commission an apostle, one must possess greater authority than an apostle. To think that someone assumes they have authority enough to go around commissioning apostles is astounding, and must involve either unfortunate ignorance of the nature of the ministry, or else a large measure of pride and self-aggrandisement.
