U3A Camera Club Outing - Part 2

Following from Thursday's post, the U3A Camera Club visited Underwood park and then went next door to visit the Chun Tian Buddhist Temple to take more photos. We were guided through the complex by Helen, a member of the Temple Community

Chung Tian Buddhist Temple Underwood Brisbane

A couple of weeks ago when we had friends staying with us from the Hunter Valley, we showed them around our local area. One place Diane had been meaning to visit was the local Buddhist Temple in our next suburb Underwood. The people there were very friendly and explained what everything is and even gave us booklets on Buddhism.
