The Hari Krishna strangely closed today; supper would need to be taken elsewhere. On Swanston they hadn’t wanted to intrude on proceedings. Numerous of their nationals had of course been herded to the front lines, both wars. The well-known recourse all over. Serving lunch Faisal had quipped, You didn’t go to the march?… With the butchers? Man had gone on to suggest the Brits had been displacing Palestinians from their territories from way back. It long story, Faisal added. Perhaps the finer detail was not quite right; indoors Faisal was challenged later. The day before the PM had been up in Papua walking the track, with the hosting PM (seeking aid) in his golf shoes—an enthusiast, the latter. Our man was shod in sensible hiking boots. 15km on well-defined track now. Stories on the heroism as usual in the lead up, retailed in the newspaper by the local amateur historians.
