I had a great time visiting the universities in Melbourne and Perth. Engineers and surgeons are always easy to be with. We shared scientific experiences (read: played) in the lab and they brought be to a wonderful zoo around the wine yards, were we saw the kangaroos (the grey red kangaroo females and the redish grey kangaroo and the smaller wallabies). And adorable koala holding a kid. No sight of the Tasmanian Devil tough, but in aquarium the weird duck-headed mammal that lays egg (but do breed and have fur, as all mammals do according to Bamse’s school).
In Perth there was nice swedish summer-like weather and I had a tourist boat trip downriver to Freemantle and from the boat we could sometimes see dolphines! See the spot in photo?

Good to hear! I had a nice time in Perth many years ago, too!
