Our apologizes for not having posts the last couple days; there was a dearth of internet connectivity, but we are back on track.  We had a fantastic time in Adelaide with our hosts Bruce Foster, Peter Cundy and Matt Hutchinson.  Despite the fact that Winter starts in a few days, Australia has been providing beautiful scenery. We took a tour of Kangaroo Island with Dr Foster and had the opportunity to hold a Koala and joey Kangaroo, enjoyed magnificent vistas overlooking a bay with what appeared to be a well planned rainbow by our gracious host!  The interactive academic sessions over the two days was a great collaboration between our groups that has fortified the relationship between us and the pedi-pods of Adelaide.  We look forward to a similar experience in Sydney where we have arrived today.
