It’s begun. We’ve begun shivering through our mornings, stocking up on the woollies, the mercury’s begun dipping across Australia, and with school out in a month, it’s once again time to enjoy the snowflakes and ski slopes.
Our travel correspondents tell us that 30 cm of snow and counting on the slopes of Mount Hotham, the silent carpet of white calling out to tourists loud and clear.
If you’re looking for something to snuggle up to, how about The Indian Sun. We’ve got a cover story that sure to warm your heart. Travel consultant Shireen Malani Vaswani, who moved to Adelaide 30 years ago, found that life for a new migrant can be challenging and lonely. After she got her life up and running, Shireen goes out of her way to help other new migrants like her set up home in Australia—helping them find work, inexpensive housing, even inviting them to share a meal with her so they don’t miss their homeland.
This June, we have also started a new section—Hot Homes, where property expert Colin Lee coaches readers on making the right real estate investment. Not only will he share his opinions and life lessons, but Colin will be interviewing economists, developers, builders, and property investors to better understand the market. This month, he explores the city of Brisbane, which is burgeoning thanks to a brilliant infrastructure masterplan.
From masterplans to masterminds—Amarjit Singh Batra, Chief Executive Officer of OLX India, and Peter Irvine, business guru and author, will be guests of honour at the 7th Indian Executive Club Awards on 18 November. Amarjit will be delivering the keynote address, where he will speak about ‘Building OLX—India’s leading market place’, while Peter, also the man, who got Gloria Jeans brewing in Australia, will be launching the Who’s Who of Melbourne’s Indian Community 2017.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
