Pictures from Australia

I recently attended the Australian Campus Crusade for Christ staff conference near Sydney. There's sort of a rivalry between Aussies and Kiwis if you weren't aware. So one of the ways to sort out their differences was to take it to the water! Below are a few pictures of the dragon boat race between the Australian and New Zealand staff. Dragon boats are pretty much just big canoes with lots of people inside rowing like mad. :)

Well, unfortunately New Zealand lost the race. But we claim that it was an unfair match, as the boats were supposed to have an even split of male and female rowers. The Aussies apparently couldn't get their genders figured out and won with testosterone. :)
