Oh if I were only a youth, single and without children, I'd be there!
I have two adopted nieces in Sydney that I have only seen pictures of!

He made the announcement in the English language. Probably because English is the main language of Australia.

After reading GipperGal's reports from Cologne, I've concluded that I'm way too old for this sort of thing.

I'm in that category, too...but that won't stop me from being there to see the Holy Father.
It's not every day the Pope drops in to say "gidday"!

This is extremely important for reviving Christianity in Australia.
God willing my family and I will be back in Australia by then (but I pray not in Brisbane, please, please, please!)
