- A year on, I reflect on the #Beirutblastโs devastation, including the tragic loss of 2 year old Australian, Isaac Oehlers. I placed a plaque in his memory at Villa Audi, where he played, with an inscription by his parents, Sarah and Craig. My heart goes out to all those mourning.
- A great hike today in the stunning Jabal Moussa Biosphere Reserve. Great variety of flora and interesting trails with wonderful views across to the snow capped mountains at Laqlouq. #BeautifulLebanon Thanks @zoueinCarole & @AntoinetteBadr2
- Happy 77th Independence Day Lebanon! ๐ฆ๐บ remains a firm supporter of ๐ฑ๐งโs stability and cherishes its enduring bonds of friendship with the Lebanese people. #ุนูุฏ_ุงูุงุณุชููุงู
- Congratulations to ๐ฑ๐งโs Hady Habib on his fantastic win at the @AustralianOpen today. I was so pleased to be there to see it. And amazing support from the ๐ฆ๐บ-๐ฑ๐ง crowd! Hady played with great determination and was calm under pressure. It was a match to remember!
- Very pleased to welcome a #YourADF C-130 to #Beirut, loaded with shelter and tools to give some of the 300,000 people made homeless by the blast somewhere to live. Australia stands with #Lebanon ุฃุณุชุฑุงููุง ุชูู ุฅูู ุฌุงูุจ #ูุจูุงู
- I am back in town after leave. #Beirut is still so beautiful, even after such a dreadful year. This Christmas I pray 2021 brings better days for all.
- The darkest of clouds over Beirut tonight. My heart goes out to the families of the deceased. I pray for quick recoveries for those injured. If you are an Australian needing consular assistance, see the post below.
- Congratulations #Rebirth_Beirut & @AUB_Lebanon for lighting up #Beirutโs iconic #Corniche! What an amazing difference it makes to this important public asset! Walking & running along the Corniche in the evenings is now even more enjoyable!
- Just over a month since the blast, we join Beirut in remembering beloved 2 year old Australian Issac Oehlers. My prayers are with his family, and the other families who lost loved ones in the blast.
- A second C-130 full of tarps + blankets arrived today, to provide shelter for some of the 300k who lost their homes. Great work by #YourADF + @dfat humanitarian. @leb_relief + @iamCARITAS to distribute. Many thanks to Gen Helo from @LebarmyOfficial Australia stands with #Lebanon
- Lebanon ๐ฑ๐ง is not only a country with much physical beauty, it also boasts a wonderfully rich cultural heritage. Recently I have been lucky to go to the amazing Baalbek & Beiteddine Music Festivals to see some memorable performances set against stunning backdrops! #VisitLebanon
