They had a great interest in mission work. In 1963 they acted as relieving Missionaries at Areyonga in Central Australia for four months to relieve Pastor and Mrs Kalleske so they could go on furlough. They both said it was a highlight in their life. They visited Hermannsburg Mission and went on a camel trip for 11 days with an Aboriginal guide by the name of Dudley and 4 camels. They left for Glen Helen in the MacDonnell Ranges and also travelled to Palm Valley by camel. On both trips covered 230 miles on camels. They really appreciated the scenery and rock formations on the trips. They respected the camels too as neither of them had ridden a camel before.

They made trips to Beltana, Marree, Horeshoe Bend, Kopperamana, Lake Killalpaninna etc to visit their Aboriginal friends.

They retired from the farm in 1963 and went back to Tanunda joining the Langmeil Church and both taking an active part in the Churches activities.
