Topic: Bhutanese Refugees in Albury Wodonga

There is a local Bhutanese community numbering over 2000, from infants to the elderly. Dr Malcolm Moore gave up his Albury General Practice in 2006 to move with his wife Wendy to work in eastern Nepal. Some of the people that they worked with were refugees of Nepalese heritage who had been ejected from Bhutan in the early 1990s. There were seven refugee camps in eastern Nepal. Malcolm and Wendy returned to Australia at the end of 2010 and settled, again, in Albury last year. They will give a brief account of their time in Nepal and talk about the journey that brought the Bhutanese refugees to Albury Wodonga.
