travel madness
Next week (the 26th), I'm off to Brisbane for a project team meeting, then up to Kununurra for a community workshop and a stakeholder meeting for the Ord project, then down to Adelaide for a project meeting for the Coorong project, returning to Canberra on the 5th. The following week (on the 12th), I'm off to Townsville for a science planning meeting (returning on the Friday evening - the 14th). I'm also supposed to have a trip to Rockhampton for my Fitzroy project sometime in March, but I'm hoping it can be put off until April. Also in April, I'll have a trip to Darwin for a planning meeting for the TRaCK project, and a trip to Perth for a stakeholder meeting for the Ord project. It's a reflection of how fragmented my time at work is at the moment. If I'm feeling particularly industrious, I'll pop across to Kununurra after Darwin to present the final report for the Ord project to stakeholders there. But at the same time, there's really rather a lot of work that I ought to be doing with some urgency here at my desk in Canberra.
On the plus side, I should have a Sunday free in Adelaide and am seriously thinking of signing up for a Barossa Valley day trip. Any tips on how to find a good one? Or should I try the Clare Valley or Adelaide hills instead?
It is interesting to note that despite all this travel, various other work-related travel over the course of the past year (to Darwin, Kununurra, and Adelaide), a trip to NZ at Christmas and our trip to Europe (UK, Turkey and Belgium), I'll still be nowhere near the number of frequent flyer points needed to reach gold status.
