ADB Alumni Australia —
The Journey Continues.
Former staff of the Asian Development Bank who now call Australia home. We gather once a year to catch up, travel a little, and remember Manila.
Twenty years of reunions, one photo album
The Australia Chapter brings together former ADB staff and their partners living across Australia. Most of us spent years, some of us decades, working on development in Asia and the Pacific.
Each year we hold a reunion: a lunch or dinner, an annual meeting, and often a day trip. This site keeps the photographs from every one of them in one place, along with news and a directory of members.
Brisbane, September 2026
Coastal walks, whales, dolphins and kangaroos, a sunset cruise, a trivia evening and the annual group photos.
Annual reunion and meeting
Dates and venue to be confirmed by the committee. Members will be emailed first.
Reunions by year
Photos are sorted by the date each one was taken. Pick a year to see that reunion.
The building we all worked in
Arched corridors, marble floors, the atrium cafeteria and the garden courtyard. For many of us the headquarters in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, was a second home.
