5/5/14 Travel day to Melbourne, Victoria

IPads at every seat on Qantas!
Coming into Melbourne
Not a great deal happened Monday.  We had a bit of free time in the morning to work on the final report we are doing on this trip and then went to Coffs Harbour airport to head to Melbourne, Victoria ending our time in New South Wales.  Had a nice flight but got into Melbourne and to our hotel just in time for dinner and bed so nothing to write about.  We will be in Victory until the 9th I think when we will fly to Tasmania.

Each evening we have had the opportunity to carry on the days work by chatting with various local fire agency people who come by to join us for dinner.  It's nice but makes for a very long day!

As I write, Tuesday is over and we had a very, very long day which I hope to write about in the morning because I am to tired now.  I will say we are not starving on this trip, in fact, we get so many meals its painful but we are doing our best!  We had tea at a winery today to learn about "grape taint" which is
Tea at Oakridge Vineyard
when the grapes are impacted by smoke.  Wineries are very big here in the Yarra Valley.  Tea was wonderful but the 5th meal since 7 am!!

Nice bus picked us up
in Melbourne!
So I'm curious if anyone is reading this.  Any comments?  Any questions we can ask down here?  Got some very interesting info on their risk management program today which I will try to explain tommorrow.

Time to go eat again!!! Love to hear some comments or questions.
