Krishna Hamal’s Australian Story (Episode 1): ‘Boiled potatoes and meat’

Welcome to the ‘Krishna Hamal’s Australian Story’ podcast series, where we journey through the remarkable life of Krishna Hamal—an economist, mentor, and community leader. In this first episode, Hamal takes us back to 1979, sharing how a scholarship led him from Nepal to the regional city of Armidale, New South Wales. He recounts the challenges and triumphs of starting anew in a distant land, the bonds he built along the way, and the pivotal moments that shaped his nearly five-decade-long journey. Tune in as Krishna Hamal shares his experiences of returning to Nepal before becoming an Australian government employee, and how his story continues to inspire and uplift Nepali-Australians today.
