They are about 50 minutes drive from where I live; I may live in Sydney but I am nowhere near the harbour or a beach.

With the rivers of your tears,
you have made the barren desert fertile.
Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you,
your labours have borne fruit a hundredfold.
By your miracles you have become a light,
