Australia..

Well my 'post phd, southern hemisphere tour' has commenced and I'm enjoying it! ;)
Just been to Australia so far, but its all been really great - seeing and doing loads.. Cairns was my first stop, then wandered down the east coast to Brisbane, Sydney, on to Adelaide and am now in Melbourne..
Went out to the great barrier reef (and its not called the 'great barrier reef for nothing - really is 'great'), stayed a few nights in the oldest rain forest in the world - at cape Tribulation, been to surfers paradise, the gold coast.. Harbour bridge and the Sydney Opera house really is something special - was just amazed to see it in real life! The wine valleys of Adelaide and touring sporting Melbourne was great (went to an AFL footie game in the MCG - was just brill! ;)
Will post photos of my travels in time.. but for now am signing off and heading for a latte! ;)

Hi Cornelia,

Was surfing through the web and came across this blog.

Something tells me we shared a house together in Kilmurry village @ the University of Limerick....the comment from Ronan Skehill was the give away!

Hope everything is good and life is treating you well.

Take care,
bernard.
