Linda Eldridge (2012 scholar) has also kicked me into gear with organising the Canadian leg of my trip, so am really excited about catching up for a week with her there!!

Also attaching a photo of me in the bare paddocks of Wongan Hills at the moment - Hot, dry and dusty. I am almost looking forward to 0 degrees in England ?!?!?!
