Dunedin is a fabulous place. I have just come back from a week down there, with 18 other Royal Society Fellows. We had a full on five days exploring and developing leaderships skills - but, you don't want to hear about that!
We also had a great tour of the city in a beautiful 1960 Mk9 Jaguar. Four of us managed to run up Baldwin Street - the steepest street in the world - actually more of a run/walk/jog! We also had a great look around the Otago Museum, including a great hour in the magnificent butterfly house, full of a huge number of different butterflies in different stages of development.
Next week I am heading to Great Barrier Island on a fish collecting trip with Professor Kendall Clement from the University of Auckland. We will be collecting butterfish, marblefish and drummer by... Spearfishing! (I think I might be able to pick that up!)
