Uki

Uki is a village situated near Mount Warning in the Tweed Valley of far northern New South Wales, Australia.  It has lovely cafes and has an annual music festival.  Some friends and ourselves stayed in Uki a few years ago for the weekend to enjoy the festival.  Many visitors flock to the area to enjoy Mt Warning and the lovely walks around it and the lovely drives in the area.  Mt Warning is the one with the hooked shaped top.  When you drive into my hometown of Mullumbimby you can see Mt Warning in the distance.  The territory is looked after by Murwillumbah Congregation.

I lived there briefly in 1972.  There were a lot of Orange People that used to roam around the city centre. 

 

Wave Rock. W.A. 

It is a real place, a tourist destination, in the wheatbelt, named after the rock.

York, England.

I used to live near this ancient city back in the 70s.  It is famous for it's Roman walls.  It sits on two rivers - the Ouse and the Foss.

 

There are 3 congregations in York.

Zetland

 

Zetland is a suburb close to the CBD of Sydney, Australia. It's been a mostly industrial area for the past several decades, but in recent years has been the site of new high density development and now has lots of apartment and condo complexes.  There are many congregations in this area such as Sydney City, Randwick, Bondi and Marrickville.  I think either Marrickville or Randwick congregation my look after the suburb of Zetland.

Albany

 

While this is the name of the capitol city of New York - it is not the city for this post

 

 

 

Albay is a city in the U.S. state of Georgia. Located on the Flint River, it is the seat of Dougherty County, and is the sole incorporated city in that county. Located in southwest Georgia.

 

We attended several District Conventions in Albany.

 

There are two Kingdom Halls in Albany and another in nearby Sylvester.

 

We worked on one of those KH after it was damaged in the flood of 1994. We also worked on several homes that had suffered considerable damage from that flood.

In the late 90’s we served there.  Not sure there is still a congregation there.  The town has around 3000 population.  It is near the Warrumbungle National Park which is home to the Siding Spring Observatory which has the Anglo Australian Telescope.  Many pictures in our publications of outer space have been seen from this telescope.

There is a congregation there. One of our pioneer sisters just recently moved up there. It's still a very small congregation.
