Tet! Lunar New Year decorations at our local temple
Our nearby temple is Chua Minh Giac, and one of the resident monks is a dab hand at decoration.
Every year he goes all out to create some elaborate themed gardens and displays for visitors who come over the Lunar New Year period.
He has excelled himself this year.
Details:
Minh Giac Vietnamese Buddhist Temple
42 St. John's Rd
Cabramatta
(The temple is about a 15 minute walk from Cabramatta station)
Open 7am - 8.30pm
All welcome - enter the main hall via the driveway to the left of the house. If the roller-doors of the main temple aren't up, you can gain access via the doorway at the left of the complex at the back.
Shoes need to be removed before entering.
Walter Mason's book Destination Saigon: Adventures in Vietnam (Allen & Unwin) was voted one of the 10 best travel books of 2010 by The Sydney Morning Herald.
It is available as a paperback and e-book from all good booksellers and on-line.
