In Sunny Townsville!
Up here for work for a day. Flew in at lunch, will work from the hotel this arvo and presenting at a seminar tomorrow morning, before flying back tomorrow at lunch.

The weather up here is tonnes better than at rainy, windy Sydney. UP here it's 24deg, sunny, clear. Beautiful!

I'm staying at Jupiter's, on the 19th floor overlooking the marina. Nice!

Drove past the old hospital.. hi Liz

Time to go find some lunch and enjoy the sunshine.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the virtual postcard.

Sounds like our friends in Townsville are beating us in the temperature stakes
at the moment but I bet Sydney has far bigger and more impressive traffic jams though.

Enjoy your stay!

You're right about that, Gary!

Even the plane was stuck in traffic this morning, almost 1hr late taking off

View from my window out over the Marina.

You're a tease... It's cold, rainy and miserable in Sydney.

Beautiful Mike,

Just be careful not to lose too many IceInSpace T-shirts off your back at the casino tonight.
