Transforming Australian Culinary Tastes: “Colombo Social” run by Shaun SEE …. Off Menu _ Shaun Christie-David – ABC News… which resisted all my hamhanded efforts at copying its pictures …. so ‘taste’ this Shaun Christie-David can still picture the bin where he used to ditch his dhal sandwiches, the furtive act of a teenage boy of migrant parents desperate to fit in. He loved dhal at home. The aromatic combination of lentils, tempered mustard seeds, spices and fried onions made by his Sri Lankan-born mother, or amma, Shiranie, was his favourite meal. But at school, he’d be teased about his weird-looking, pungent lunch, buffeted by taunts of, “Shit man, your lunch stinks”. So, the sandwiches stayed in his schoolbag all day before being dumped in that bin next to the ticket machine at the train station in south-west Sydney where Shiranie was waiting to take him home. Today, that dhal, Amma’s Dhal, takes pride of place ...

Sporting Heroes of Yesteryear… – REID BROTHERS – The Famous Five Source : Thomiana – May 2024 In this series, which commenced in the September 2023 edition, we aim to highlight the sporting achievements of old Thomians in the fifties and sixties era, who have migrated to the Land Down Under to call “Australia Home”; and have continued to support our alma mater through active participation in the Old Boys Associations in Australia. So far, we have highlighted the achievements of Rodney Ingleton (NSW), Maurice Fairweather (WA) and the two cousins from Victoria – Rupert Ferdinands and Denis Ferdinands. On a sad note, Denis Ferdinands passed away in January 2024 after a long illness, just a few days after the release of the January edition of the Thomiana. Fortunately, his wife Caryl had time to read the article about him to Denis to which he responded with a “Thumbs Up”. May ...

This encounter, will now be best remembered as the ‘145th Battle of the Yawn’, a match that the Thomians played never to win. With the onus on them to force a result, S. Thomas’ College went into a surprise defensive mode and chose to end the match as a stalemate, much to the relief of the Royal College cricketers whom they had to beat in regaining the coveted D.S. Senanayake Shield that they ...
