On Wednesday, instead of waking up and getting to the conference for the 8:45am plenary talk, we opted to walk along the beach to the conference center. Took my camera along for some photos. Cairns sure is beautiful!
In the evening after the conference, Tiffani, Pauleen and I went to an aboriginal dinner event hosted by the conference. It was a pretty cool experience.

On Thursday, we were originally going to take the day off from the conference and go visit the Daintree but made the ultimate decision to skip Friday instead since there is only a half-day of talks tomorrow anyway. It was a good choice. We saw some really interesting talks today about Learning and Cognition - and Jess and Nick went to one super interesting one about slime moss.
Since we're skipping tomorrow, we've officially finished all of our conference activities. It's been an incredible experience. And my PhD topic has changed about a half million times - oops? I do need to write a research proposal in the next couple days though so I should probably get on it.
Looking forward to exploring the Daintree and going snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow and Saturday before we have to go back to real life though!
