Day 5 – Closing out Sydney

Day 5 – Closing out Sydne (Sunday, March 8)
Before heading to the airport and flying back north to the Gold Coast, our group took advantage of the beautiful weather to walk across the iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge—even sneaking a look through the security fence at the Kirribilli House 😊
The Harbor Bridge is more than a way to cross the water—it’s the backbone of the city. Opened in 1932 after nearly a decade of construction, this massive steel arch was once the world’s largest of its kind. Built with more than six million hand-driven rivets, it spans nearly 4,000 feet across one of the finest natural harbors on earth. What makes it truly special is how alive it feels—cars, trains, cyclists, and pedestrians all moving at once, with sweeping views of the harbor, ferries cutting through the water, and the Opera House just beyond. It’s not just infrastructure—it’s part of Sydney’s identity.
On the north side of the bridge, a short, pleasant walk leads to Kirribilli House, the Sydney residence of Australia’s Prime Minister. Built in 1855 as a private home, it has become one of the most uniquely positioned political residences in the world. Unlike many grand government estates set far from public view, Kirribilli House feels almost within reach—perched right on the water with postcard views of the city skyline.
It’s a place where history, politics, and everyday Sydney life intersect.
With more than five million people, it never felt overwhelming.
Next stop: packing up for our adventure on the Milford Track in New Zealand early the next morning… eeks!

When Pope John Paul III saw the signs—hatred of Christians, targeted attacks on faith, alliances formed in the shadows—he didn’t call a council. He called warriors. Gideon’s Sword is more than a Vatican op. It’s a lifeline to the Church in America. And Micah Miller—fallen, broken, lethal—is their tip of the spear. There’s no pulpit for what’s coming. Only battlefields. THE FALLEN — Read it before your church burns.

He served God. Then he served man. Now he serves justice.
Micah Miller was a soldier.
Then a priest.
Then, a husband who buried the woman he loved.
Now?
He’s something else entirely.
-Trained by the 75th Ranger Regiment.
-Forged in the crucible of loss.
-Skills perfected on the violent streets of Haiti
-Recruited by the Vatican to fight a war America won’t even admit exists.
They tried to erase the truth.
They tried to burn down the faith.
But they didn’t count on Micah.
Now he leads a covert team into the heart of American darkness—where child mutilation is praised, churches burn in silence, and powerful men hunt the innocent.
THE FALLEN isn’t just a thriller. It’s a warning shot.

President Bearden didn’t steal the White House. He bought it—with the souls of men too weak to say no. Now the puppet masters are pulling strings from behind the curtain, and the last obstacle standing in their way? A fallen priest with a guilty conscience and a Mossad agent who doesn’t forgive. When truth becomes treason, who will you trust? THE FALLEN — Read it before they bury it.

Micah Miller never wanted redemption. Not after burying his wife. Not after walking away from the priesthood. But when the Pope himself calls, you answer.
Now he’s on a mission that will shatter everything he thought he knew—about his Church, his country, and the war being waged behind closed doors.
If you think this is just fiction, think again.
The war on faith has already begun.
Read the book, they’ll say it’s too dangerous to publish.
