Singapore

This was my third trip to Singapore and it’s starting to feel like home. So many people I’ve grown close to with so many shared interests and so many spectacular galleries and museums. I leave now anticipating my return.

There were many highlights but meeting up with the outreach team and volunteers at Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve to share ideas for community engagement AND delivering gifts from our patch - the Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre - was right up there.

It was a blast delivering the gifts from Australia and a double blast returning with gifts from Buloh for Hobsons Bay

So as if my cup wasn’t already overflowing, after Sungei Buloh, my friend Tham Pui San (Chair of the Friends of Sungei Buloh), arranged for a visit to the Seed Bank at the Singapore Botanic Gardens where I had the fun of sharing the story of the Amazing Case of Dr Ward.

Oh it was all a bit fantastic really. I learned a mountain of things, was enriched with conversation, tickled by much fun and hilarity and heart warmed by the energy of people working for the environment.

I have returned home full of stories and warmed by the generosity and hospitality of Singapore.
