Mauritius and Maldives

Mauritius and Maldives are two island nations of the Indian Ocean, which despite sharing the same water have very little to do with each other. Two carvers Lewis Dick (Mauritius) and Ahmed Nimad (Maldives) are finding much in common. Their first day was spent showing them around some of the carving in Melbourne, including the churches and Melbourne General Cemetary. The mild warm sunny weather reminded both of 'just like home'. Final arrival is tonight at 3am, with the second darner Intekhab Ahmed arriving to complete the team that will restore a replica of the Eureka flag.
