MY AUSTRALIA SCHEDULE
Okay, my schedule for Australia seems set. Except for the masterclasses, which you have to sign up for, all of this is free and open to the public. I hope to see lots of my readers at these events. It should be a lot of fun!
Though what the hell I'm going to talk about on a "Regional distinctiveness" panel, I don't know.

Enjoy the trip, Jeff. Do try to take the train to Kuranda while you are in Cairns if possible, it is a wonderful journey. And do tell Alien Baby to watch out for those fruit bats, they might mistake him for something juicy.
FYI, Australia are playing one-day games against a Rest of the World XI in Melbourne on Oct 5 & 7, so you might be able to catch some cricket.
I can't believe you're neglecting the Melburnians, Jeff! Most unfair, indeed! :)
I know, I know. We wanted to fit in Melbourne and also visit the Kiwis, but just didn't have enough time. We thought about 3 days in Melbourne, 3 in Sydney, but the idea of visiting 4 cities in 3 weeks seemed just too much.

PS Thanks Cheryl. You know I'll be at the cricket. ;)
Enjoy!
I do however hope that you reconsider your options in regards to Melbourne.
No Melbourne? For shame...
You have not visited Australia unless you have visited Perth
