And now, let's move on to our next stop."},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FskyY4V0Kah1xqOFD3ZxQ%2F2014_195663__Dee_Why_-_St_Johns.jpg?alt=media&token=a6928dba-2bd2-48b9-818c-175a39ddb7bc"}]},{"address":"74 Oaks Ave","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":-33.754181927242314,"longitude":151.29222310347438},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Uniting Church"},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FskyY4V0Kah1xqOFD3ZxQ%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(14).mp3?alt=media&token=0f9acfe1-1574-43a2-9d8f-8ff5ade00353"},{"type":"text","content":"We have arrived at the Uniting Church, right in front of us.
