Another shout out for you, @AnitaHeiss! Noriko’s visit, her translation of your book, and the story behind our student exchange programme
Another of Cowra’s unique connections with Japan, the Cowra-Seikei Student Exchange Programme, established in 1970.

@AnitaHeiss Indeed! So wonderful to catch up with many of the Cowra-Japan network that have had long-standing involvement . And the timing of your Japanese edition was impeccable! It has been great to celebrate that contribution with Noriko these past few days.
