A special feature marking Australia Day, celebrated by Australia Society Belgium. More From Brussels met some fascinating Australians now living in Belgium. Helene Miller went to Australia as a refugee, and Australia Day is a significant personal date for her. Also, meet Duncan Lewis, the new Australian Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, the European Union, and NATO. He explains Australia's priorities here, and he describes his family's connection to the trenches in Ypres. Other guests explain what Australia Day means to them, and how they are experiencing life in Belgium, particularly the work-life balance. James talks about the history of Australia Day, and some of the controversy. And Sarah gives us some insight into what life is like for an expat aged seven.
Maybe you dream of moules frites and Belgian beer every night, or maybe you wake up wishing you were anywhere else, but Belgium is where the long and winding road has brought you. The "More From Brussels" podcast aims to bring a fresh perspective on this city, an adopted home away from home for so many expats.

Holy Trinity Brussels
More From Brussels podcaster, Alison Turner, ducked out of the cold in mid January 2013 to explore an Anglican church just a stone's throw from Louise, but virtually invisible from the street. She met a congregant, Pamela Clements, who described what goes on in the church, and explained what she was doing there on such a cold night. Who knew that the chaplain has a very special relationship with the Queen? More information: http://www.holytrinity.be/ pamela.clements@telenet.be precentor@holytrinity.be
