the mother and older daughters carrying the
little ones wrapped on their backs. They only
have one car, and small town Australia is built

so it was quite a job to ferry them all to the
beach! But there in a creek off Runaway Bay,
Queensland, Australia the Lord's wonderful

uncertainty and nervous pressure. Please do

China are all nearly the same. The land is
rented to them by agricultural companies.
Most people living there are elders and
women, more than 70% of the male labour

People living here have nothing to do when
