Charleville or bust — Waterloo Wanderers travel 900km to see an old friend

“Being sincerely loved and missed by many, 14 parishioners from Anglican Parish of Waterloo Bay — nicknamed “The Waterloo Wanderers” — headed to Charleville to catch up with their dear friend, The Rev’d Jim, in his new environment. We travelled more than 900km in cars and vans over two days, staying overnight in caravan parks and cabins along the way,” says Margaret Carr from The Parish of Waterloo Bay
