Bali Book Launch & exhibition

The Bali launch of Grajagan – Surfing in the Tiger’s Lair at the Drifter Cafe & Gallery on 29th April 2023 was a big success. Warren ‘Abdul’ Anderson was there to give the true story of the discovery years at G-Land.

The accompanying exhibition of photos of Bali taken by John Ogden between 1972-1980 is expected to run until late May, so make sure you don’t miss it.

There are plans for another event at the Deus Temple down the track, so watch this space for more information.
