What an awesome event that was!
Congratulations Dylan and all the team for pulling it all together and carrying it off so smoothly over the weekend and thanks to all of the speakers over the two days. All engaging, all knowledgeable and a good dash of humor thrown in to boot.
It was also good to pick up a healthy number of things that I did not know! In particular the first presentation on Australian Aboriginal astronomy and how it was put to use was astounding. Some bits I was aware of. A lot of the information presented about the "Emu" for instance but I am sure I was not in the minority in not knowing of constellations being constructed essentially as aids to memory and to pass down the knowledge for mapping and navigation.
I had a fantastic weekend and look forward to Starstuff number 2!
