Aldinga Beach Retreat
Aldinga Beach Retreat is a one hour south from Adelaide airport and coordinated by MissionsInterlink, opened in November 2016, funded by Mr Basil Sellers AM who visited the Laguna Quays Respite in 2014-15. Basil asked me to send him in Sydney four mission executives toward a triage facility (more than rest).
As a result MissionsInterlink took on the responsibility with Ben and Robyn McLean as coordinators, former missionaries to Beijing China with Frontiers,

Laguna Quays Respite - Whitsundays
The respite cottage is situated a fifteen minute drive south of Proserpine airport and a stone's throw from Midge Point. Opened in 2011, Well-Being Australia developed this mission respite ministry after my wife Delma and I had ministered respite to Australian Institute of Sport elite athlete "respite" in both Moruya (Basil Sellers Moruya) and Tweed Heads (Basil Sellers Tweed) since 1992.
The Laguna Quays Respite facility was a dream of ours to serve our mission community with a no-cost rest and recuperation experience and the Whitsundays provides many such opportunities for relaxation. Mission people can drive or fly into Proserpine airport inexpensively.
