Happily, unexpectedly I find myself on the other side of the country. This morning I kissed Marianne, Sophie and Jessica goodbuye at 7am. Went to the airport too early, got a good seat for an uneventful flight to Melbourne. Bumped into Sean Williams at the airport gate, and shared a flight to Canberra with him. It was great to see him. Then met Garth Nix at the gate, drove into the city and checked into the hotel. Tomorrow Conflux, but first had a great conversation with Nick Stathopoulos who I hadn’t seen in five years. It was great to reconnect. Then time with Garth, before dinner with Garth, Jack Dann, Sean Williams, Deb Biancotti, Ellen Datlow, Justin Ackroyd and others. A good time. They came back to the suite for drinks, then bed. Great to see Russell too, and David Coe. Tonight was worth the trip itself. More tomorrow.
