Southern Cross Precinct- Walk, Camp, Vigil and Mass

On Saturday we headed from our hotel for the site of the Vigil and Final Mass with the Holy Father at Randwick Racecourse or Southern Cross precinct as it has been renamed for the WYD events.
The walk over was great, the staff at all the stations in great form, the volunteers directing us in fantastic humour, good natured and well informed on exactly what route we should be taking. Well done to all of them for a difficult job so very well done! Once we arrived at the correct spot we set up out tents much to everyone's admiration. We then spent the rest of the time saying hello to our neighbours and passers-by before the Holy Father arrived to lead us in the Evening Vigil of prayer and service of light.
