My Tibetan Friend

Those of you who have followed Ian and my Inja Or Bust weblog will be familiar with the Tibetan monks Tamkey and Lekshey we met in Darjeeling (http://www.injaorbust.blogspot.com).

I have kept contact with Tamkey through emails and we correspond about once a week. He is such a gentle soul and gives me news of his studies to become a doctor so he can open a hospital in his village in Tibet.

His last email contained a couple of photos, one with his Mum and one of his family.




I count Tamkey as a true friend and I am humbled by his simple philosophy and life. It is my hope that one day I will be able to visit Tamkey and his family in Tibet.

Rain From Nowhere

It may just be the most important Australian poem of all time.

QEIII-Cam

I recently went up to Tweed Heads to visit my Mum who is 93 and not doing to well.

The QEIII headed north along the Pacific Highway and during the trip we were able to capture some sensational video of night driving on the Pacific Highway.
