Today I got up very late and booked to go Kayaking. I got the CityCat to South Bank and walked up to Riverlife. I bought a hat and a waterproof pouch when I arrived. After watching a safety video, I got into the kayak and paddled. I went kayaking until five and went up to Story Bridge.

Today I woke up and got an Uber up to Bulimba. I met up with Neal and Camilla and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. After that, Neal walked me back to the river, and I walked along the bank. I got the CityCat to New Farm Park and had an iced coffee by the river. I went to Mowbray and then down to Riverside. I walked under the Story Bridge and had lunch at Felons. After walking back through the CBD, I popped into Apple to have someone look at my phone and then walked back through the Queen Street Mall. I popped into a phone shop to try and set up a phone number, but I needed my passport to set it up. I got the CityCat back, grabbed my passport, and then returned to the phone shop to set up my Australian phone number. I then walked back and relaxed for the evening on my balcony.Read more

The Final List
June 23, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Today I got up and walked to The Wesley Hospital for my final operating list in Australia (for the time being). I met Dr O'Rourke and Dr McKevitt at the theatre for an upper GI list. I was able to scrub for the final case of the list. Dr O'Rourke then signed off my supervision paperwork. After this, I went to grab some lunch from the surgeons' lounge. After lunch, I went to get a hospital stamp on my letter and then went home to run some errands. Next, I went back to the hospital, dropped off cards and presents for everyone at the medical school, and went back upstairs to collect my form. The chief medical officer signed the bottom of my form and asked me to tell the university to contact them should they have any further questions. I then returned home and packed all my belongings. I checked out of my apartment in Brisbane and drove up the coast to Noosa to stay at Nick's.Read more

Cool Pizza

This morning I got up and relaxed on the dock. Yasmin drove an obscene distance up to Noosa, and we went out for lunch. We had some delicious pizzas and walked down the beach for ice cream. Whilst going along the coast, my sunglasses unfortunately broke, so we went into a sunglasses shop to try and get them fixed. The lady managed to find a spare screw, trim it, and fix my sunglasses! We then headed back to the house, and Yasmin left. I had a quick power nap and then drove down to Coolum Beach for ice cream and to explore. After that, I headed back home and went to bed!Read more

Today I got up and packed the car. Once loaded, I drove down to Brisbane and returned the car. Next, I got an Uber down to my new accommodation at Story Bridge. I then unpacked and got some lunch. Once Yasmin was free, we walked along Story Bridge to South Bank. We went to a Turkish restaurant and had a lovely dinner. After Yasmin sneakily paid the bill while I was in the bathroom, we went to Max Brenner for dessert. Whilst walking back, we popped into a souvenir shop, and I got some cool final souvenirs. We relaxed when we returned to the hotel, and then I walked Yasmin back to her car. She dropped me back at the hotel and went home.Read more

Bye Bye Brisbane!
July 1, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
On my final day in Brisbane, I went to the University of Queensland building at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital for a surgical simulation day. After the introduction talk, we did some intramedullary nail insertion and femur plating. The next workshop was craniofacial plating. After that, we were able to do some laparoscopic surgery and finally did some skin flaps! I then walked down into Fortitude Valley, bought a keyring from the music shop and went to the Queen Street Mall for lunch. Finally, I returned to the hotel to grab my bags and headed to the airport, walking through Anzac Square. Once there, my bags were too heavy. I had to redistribute the weight across my bags and repack them. Once that was sorted, I went through security and went duty-free shopping! At 9 PM, I got on the plane (an A380!), and we took off!Read more
