I attended the Worldwide Developers Conference 2007 in San Francisco with two of my colleagues, Alan Morgans and Luke Low, from Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. Thats us sitting on the floor in the piccy below (I’ve got the glasses on, Luke has the Mac, and Alan is the groovy dude).

We had a great time there thanks to the generous support of Apple Australia.

In this podcast we give a debrief of our experiences in the hope that it may be useful to future prospective WWDC attendees.

Here is a pic (below) of the 3 hour queue made up of 5000 attendees waiting to get in to see Steve Jobs give the keynote address…now that is dedication.

Students be gone!!!!!

Leave your university (…for one or two semesters…) and become an exchange student at another university somewhere else on planet earth!

This is a constant message I pass on to my tourism students studying business degrees here at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. The benefits of traveling, learning, having lots of good times and perhaps a few not so good times, and generally just getting out of your mums house and learning how to be independent cannot be overstated.

Aini Siu is the Study Abroad and Exchange Coordinator for the University of Westminster, London. She was recently here in Melbourne and so we took the opportunity to record a podcast on how to become an exchange student at her uni.

If you are thinking of becoming an exchange student, consider Westminster, also consider Victoria University, but whatever you do, do it, then return to your own uni with a different perspective on your life and your studies.

The last edition of the Travel Show spoke about a micro brewery in Beechworth. This edition tracks the progress made by Angus (my 6 month old little boy) as we keep walking around this pretty little Victoria town.

One of the things that really interests me about this region is the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail. This is a 100kms of some very beautiful cycle pathway.

Angus and I met Beth, a local resident of Beechworth, a lovely girl, and a cyclist. Beth tells us about her experience in riding this rail trail.

I was in Beechworth (a pretty little country town in northern Victoria, Australia) the other day, wandering around the streets with my 7 month old son Angus clipped to my chest in his little carry harness. We checked out museums, old book shops, antique shops, and….a pub.

Infact, it was less of a pub and more of a boutique brewery named the Bridge Road Brewers. While there, we had a chat to Ben Kraus, the brewer. Ben tells us all about the brewery experience.

The Applause Festival is held in Albury, New South Wales, Australia in October. It’s been going for 5 years now.

I recently went up there to have a squizz and caught up with Shep Huntly, one of the performers.

That’s me (Doc Martin) on the left, Angus on my chest, and Shep is the one with the cool suit.

Cheers,
