Welcome to Laura's Weblog

This page is all about my adventures Down Under.
I will be in Australia from August 2008 until June 2009. During that time, I will be doing my clinical elective and research internship at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, as well as spend a little time travelling.

Despite the recent accident concerning a Qantas aircraft, I decided to fly with the Australia-based airliner, because regardless, "Qantas (STILL) never crashed" (Rainman/1988). I'll just be sure to check the entire fusilage for corrosion. Right. Anyway, I'll be leaving on Sunday, 10th August 2008 and arrive in Melbourne 24 hours and 20 minutes later.

Here's where I'll be staying the next 6 months. And the picture below shows where I'll be working.
