Thai Food Fair and Water Festival at Wat Dhammadharo Thai Temple Thai New Year (called Songkran Water Festival) is the most important annual festival for the Thai people. The Festival comprises of a Thai Food Fair, cultural and open house activities. Proceeds from the event go towards supporting the building project of Wat Dhammadharo Thai temple as a place for Buddhist education, culture and language for Thai and Australian communities. Peter and I visited the temple today for the event and here is a postcard vignette from our day out. From top left to right:

Hi Jane! Welcome back from your Easter camping trip. It was a lovely day out... sunshine and great food in such a peaceful place. Couldn't take more pics, it was just way too crowded!
