Prime Minister \u2013 Joint Media Release \u2013 BUSTING CONGESTION ACROSS SYDNEY AND THE CENTRAL COAST \u2013 Wednesday 27 March 2019<\/h2>\n

Motorists across Sydney and the Central Coast will be spending less time in traffic and more time doing what\u2019s important to them after a $253.5 million congestion-busting funding boost………….<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSlaves built Galle Fort\u201d \u2013 By Des Kelly<\/h2>\n

Something, that I am afraid, not too many of us would have ever known, but for the fact that we \u201clive & learn\u201d until we die. I have always considered myself to be an avid reader, from a very early age, and always having been interested in the history of the Land of my birth, always imagined that the Galle & Colombo Forts were built by the Dutch who \u201cruled\u201d the Island from 1640-1796,………………

Sri Lanka\u2019s triumphant Test match euphoria has quickly dissipated into the previously familiar role of eating humble pie as the South Africans exacted revenge for their embarrassment in the Tests by grinding their opponents into the dust leading 3-0 in the one-dayers in a relentless display of ferocity….

HAVE A CHAT \u2013 17 FEBRUARY 2019 (Brisbane)<\/h2>\n

A few days before the HAC Gerard the chairman, phoned and said the club was 10 short of 50 persons to have a successful HAC party.

\nBEING MARRIED TO A THOMIAN – \u201cThomians Hunt in Packs; Never Alone\u201d – By Shamila Jayasinha<\/h2>\n

My journey through life with my Thomian began with this hunt. In an era when mobile phones, SMS, e-mails and Facebook were unheard of, the hunt was indeed a difficult task. Therefore, this hunt was meticulously planned out at a house located right opposite Bishop\u2019s College (whoever designed it, bless his dear departed soul, certainly had the best interest of young Thomians in mind for it has a large balcony overlooking the grounds of Bishop\u2019s College).<\/p>\n

Date of the Hunt: 31st October 1981
\nVenue: Food Fair, Bishop\u2019s College.

\nGEORGE WALL \u2013 THE LION THAT ROARED \u2013 By Bernard VanCuylenburg<\/h2>\n

A few months ago I wrote an article titled \u201cDavid and Goliath\u201d which featured a young English tea planter Mark Anthony Bracegirdle, who rocked the colonial establishment when he sided with the workers and the unions, by demanding better living conditions for the estate labourers on the plantations. His colonial masters were dumbfounded and furious to find that it was \u201cone of their own\u201d who by the courage of his convictions, proved to be the proverbial thorn in their side…….<\/p>\n

Andrew and his wife Caroline thoroughly enjoyed a train ride from Kandy to Ella. The train climbs very slowly up 1,500m through mountains, jungle and tea plantations<\/p>\n

We had swung by Kadugannawa on the way from Negombo \u2013 a forgettable transit town a short drive from Colombo airport \u2013 where we\u2019d decided to spend one night after the journey to the island. …….<\/p>\n

My latest book, titled \u2018ONLY IN SRI LANKA\u2019, was published by Jojo Publishing in September this year. This story is based on my introduction to Sri Lankan life, its culture & customs, as experienced by my Singhalese daughter-in-law, my Australian son, and my three Aussie\/Sri Lankan grandsons. It\u2019s the story of village life, the time of the civil war and the tsunami. It\u2019s the story of coming to terms with losing my family to another culture and another country.<\/p>\n
