Upali Iddawela (1940) is the only child of WK Iddawela & Seelawathie. He graduated from University of Melbourne, Australia at a time when foreign travel was sparse (probably the first Iddawela to travel to west). He became an architect and married Damayanthi Hettiarachchi (1949) from Colombo and settled there. Daughter Deviyani is their only child.
