These are some photos from a day spent in the Crown Street Mall, which is a central shopping area in Wollongong. Every Friday in the outdoor area of the mall there is an open air market where local vendors come to sell items that they grew or made. We have spent several Fridays out there enjoying the unique personality and culture of the city of Wollongong.

Hey Emily and Corey. The city looks beautiful. I know you guys are getting settled. God has been preparing you for this for a long time. We sure miss you all, but you don't seem so far away since we can blog and facebook each other.
