Cairns: Tablelands Roadtrip
Cynthia and Cailene were the first to wake up, so they went ahead and picked up the car we'd rented for the next few days. Around 10 a.m., we checked out of the hostel and had breakfast at a small restaurant: Japanese…

Packing for Cairns
Today was mostly a relaxing and packing day. I watched a little movie, played guitar, and packed my bag for Cairns! My room was quite warm today, and it's getting warmer, of course. Oh, and I still had some spinach left, which needed to be used...
Photo hunt at Royal Botanical Gardens
After a quick wash, I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens around 1 p.m. There, Cynthia and Angela joined me in a Photosoc photo hunt. There were about six groups in total, around 30 people.
September 23-26: Uni, trivia, running, guitar
September 23: Beyond the Genome lab wasn't much of a lab; it was basically just computer analysis, but that was fine. I had a great time with Tanya. On my way home, I was bombarded with people trying to get me to participate in the student election. I…
Tour guide day 3: market, museum, gardens and drone show
Went to Glebe Markets this morning with the family. We had a great time browsing the stalls and picked up some gozleme for breakfast at one of the stalls: a kind of tortilla with cheese, spinach, and chicken, yum. Dad enthusiastically took pictures of a…
Tour guide day 2: Manly, Opera House and Chinatown
At 10 a.m., the little ones were at my place, all of us taking the bus to Circular Quay (pronounced like the English "key"). Mom isn't used to buses, I noticed, haha. We took the ferry to Manly. That ferry goes...
Three tourists visiting
I woke up around 9:30 a.m. because my dad called: they were at my door! We'd actually agreed to meet around 4 p.m., after my presentation at the university, but they just couldn't wait, haha.
September 14-16: Bondi Kite Festival, university, archery
September 14: Worked on my chemical biology poster this morning. At one point, I had to stop because I really wanted to go to the kite festival at Bondi Beach. I took my laptop with me for the long bus ride, though…
September 11-13: Science trivia, university, film and puzzle night
September 11: Lab went well today. I spent ages working on a silly calculation, but I finished what I wanted to. In the evening, I went with the "lobotomies" to a science trivia activity organized by a bunch of science student associations. There were...
La Perouse + Darling Harbor drone show
Today I went to La Perouse (a bit further south in Sydney) with Cynthia, Sunny, Angela, Cailene, and Cindy. We all had a picnic there with some snacks and games. We also walked around the pier and coastal rocks. Big waves and...
