I have arrived in Western Australia and it is so good to be back! The weather is perfect so far and I have high hopes for my season. The water level has peaked and drawdown has begun, so hopefully my plants will be young and reproductive! Tomorrow Terry, Annie and I are going out to see the populations of Trithuria and we will decide which sites will be the best. Tonight I am setting up the lab space and getting as organized as possible.
Our flight was long, but uneventful. We figured that the trip from my apartment in Knoxville to our motel in Perth took 34 hours of travel time. We flew from Knoxville to Dallas to LAX to Syndey to Perth. We stayed overnight in Perth and did some errands in the city, including driving into the city centre on Sunday morning. Parking was an absolute nightmare, but we managed. Driving on the left is like riding a bicycle, it is pretty easy to get back into the habit. We drove up to Manjimup on Sunday afternoon and settled into Kingston House. There are two young women from Germany staying in the house, as well as a couple from The Netherlands and a women from Perth. It is pretty full, but people are coming and going all the time.
