Boat People in Australia
Hung Le's family was one of the original "boat people" to arrive in Australia...
"We used to live across the road from the Presidential Palace, which in the 70s in Saigon was a really stupid place to live. They say Vietnam brought the war into people's living rooms...yeah, you're telling me, and we didn't even have a TV.
One side of our front yard was a statue of the Buddha that my father, Le Thanh Nhon, made. He was Vietnam's most famous artist. At the end of the war, the communists smashed all his work but they didn't touch his Buddha.
We left Vietnam 30th April 1975. We had 3 hours to leave, so quickly we packed our bags, loaded the car, fed the dog...to granny, and went down to the dock."
Bio
MC: Angus & Robertson's top 50 childrens books, voted on line. Sharing the stage with Nancy Cartwright - the voice of Bart Simpson. Nancy had a great time sharing the stage with Hung, commenting on what a nautural he was.
