Once Upon a Time… in Canberra Tino arrived from Hong Kong. Tino looked over vast empty fields, though this was not a farm in the outback. This was Canberra in the 1960s. In this captivating episode our guest Tino discusses pioneering Canberra’s restaurant scene in the 1970s. Introducing Malaysian, Pekingese, and Sichuan cuisines to reshaping Canberra’s cultural landscape and watching the city rise to a true capital city. Tino offers a fresh perspective on the city’s charm as a place to live and study. Tune in for a heartfelt look at the capital’s evolution and why it remains, in his view, an exceptional place to call home.
Our interviewee is Tino Chan, a retired baby boomer, who is currently expanding his educational knowledge by pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies at the University of Canberra. He originally came to Sydney from Hong Kong as an international student in 1962 and moved to Canberra in the mid-1960s to study a Bachelor of Economics at the Australian National University, graduating in 1970. Tino’s professional career spanned decades in the Commonwealth Public Services and the hospitality industry. Throughout his time in Canberra Tino has seen it grow from a one shop stop to a beautiful city. After retiring a decade ago, he chose to re-engage with academia, earning degrees in Management and International Business at UC.
