Mount Colah Mount Kuring Gai Venturers have been invited to visit a Thai Buddhist monastery!! This monastery is run by Thai forest monks, and is located about 20 minutes north of Wiseman’s Ferry, at a place called Wat Buddha Damma
This is a real cultural experience and should not be missed. For those of you who would like to put this as one of your Queen Scout activities, this will go under the Ideals, pg. 56 in the Venturer Record Book.
These monks have an amazing life, ie. they live by 227 rules, and teach how to live a simple life. They live 15 minutes from a main road, within the bush!
You can see what they do here on their website. Vicki and I also made a video of them once which you can find here.
They will be available for group visiting from mid February all next year. Please let me know if you are interested, so I can have it organised – as they provide food.
This is a great opportunity to see something really different! It’s cheaper than going to Thailand!!!
