Hello Janet, Kiera and Linda,
I, too, live in Australia, SE QLD, and am currently in the first year of my Doctorate QUT. Clearly this forum has served to put us all in touch, but I agree that a real coming together would be such a worthy thing. Can we organise a symposium for some time in the future. Can we perhaps just begin by talking about what we would like to see happen, based - or not - on our research interests?
Best wishes
Sharon

Hi Janet
I think there are a few of us on the list who live in Australia and it would be good maybe to think of some events that we might initiate - maybe we could do something like a connected Big Draw event?

I know what you mean about all the action on the other half of the world, wouldn't it be great if there was more happening here? I am part way through my doctorate and would be happy to start a communication with you if interested.

I wish I was closer to all the goings on in the UK. I feel quite isolated in my part of Australia. I am sure there are fabulous things happening here - please let me know if you are a member in the Sydney area. Thanks for sending this website link Jac. Hoping to get to a DRN conference next year.
