Sydney

Last week I went to a conference on human genetics in Sydney. It meant a 4am alarm call on a Saturday morning followed by 5 days mainly in a conference hall. Hard going but a really good conference and it was in Sydney!!

On the Saturday we (there were 5 of us from Christchurch) wandered around Sydney then got a ferry across to Manly.

The Conference was in the convention centre in Darling Harbour, with Ibis wandering around on the grass outside and a water park where hundreds of families turned up on the Sunday. Sadly we had to sit inside while everyone else played!

After meeting Alan Mitchell at his flat in Double Bay, I took a run in the morning out to Bondi Beach.
