Phaedra never made it to Nepal. This was our first trip overseas as we make a life without her.
We built this small stupa to hold some of her ashes and a seat for others to rest. We decorated it with prayer flags and left a photo of her. It is located at the high point of our trek at 4000m. From the seat you have amazing views of Annapurna South, Annapurna Fang and Dhawalagiri.

When we knew that Phaedra was unlikely to survive her illness I arranged for her to plant a tree in the centre of Canberra. The tree stands alone but connected to the landscape; a fitting metaphor for Phaedra’s life.
The tree is a pin oak, quercus palustris and was planted in May 2017. It is close to the National Gallery and easy to visit on a trip to Canberra.
