Dana's Australian Adventure

I originally came to Australia for 6 months to do research. It turns out this place is pretty cool. In fact, so cool that I decided to stay here to do my PhD at the University of Queensland. Now, I have about 6-8 months left on my PhD, but I still have many adventures to share!

I don't always update this in order, so give it a flick through for new stuff.
