Then had a Skype meeting with Tec to bring him up to date on the projects and dicuss engagement and knowledge sharing.
Then it was time to get on the plan at the little Armidale airport to fly to Sydney and then to Melbourne. Because of the vastness of the space, they seem to fly much more than we do.
After we landed, we hired (that's what they call rented) a car to drive to Leongatha where we will be interviewing.
Since we were so close to Phillip Island where the penguin parade is, Bill and I took the car and drove to see the little buggers. We weren't allowed to take photos, but here's what I took from their website. They are only about 12 inches high and they are dark blue and white (I'd say they are Penn State penguins, wouldn't you!!). They come out of the ocean at dusk and waddle up predefined paths (that they somehow know which paths to use) and head to their burrows to socialize. What an experience. Here's the website if you want to explore more: http://www.penguins.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=54&mytabsmenu=1
Definitely worth the hour driving time.
