Narayan Mishra and his family arrived in Cairns on December 4, 2008, after spending fifteen years in refugee camps in Nepal and Bhutan. An assertive and confident seventeen year old, Narayan openly talks about the hardships he and his family faced as they were rejected by the Nepalese and Bhutan Governments. "My family has lived in Bhutan for generations. We have spent more than one hundred and fifty years there, but the governments rejects us."
