TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC

摘要

Our meeting point was a wooden table in the Corner Store at Tea Gardens overlooking the Myall River, but on this rainy, windy day it was close enough to have the feel of the nearby South Pacific Ocean. Brendan Guiney and I had decided to meet to share our tales of our current twinning activities in the South Pacific and Brendan promised that this halfway meeting place had good coffee. Brendan is the leader of the Mid Coast Water teams that have started twinning activities this year with the Tongan Water Board and Samoa Water Authority, while I lead the Hunter Water teams that have been involved with twinning activities with Water PNG for a few years, a small exercise with the Nauru Utilities Commission last year, and have just started with the Water Authority of Fiji.
