<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/walkah/sets/72157604408301697/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2203/2391209341_994946487b_m.jpg" alt="Lullabots in Melbourne" /></a>Last week I added a new continent under my travel belt when a bunch of us <a href="http://www.lullabot.com/">Lullabots</a> headed to Australia to run some <a href="http://www.lullabot.com/workshop/both-australian-workshops/melbourne-australia-2008">Drupal Workshops</a>. I will say, the trip across the Pacific is a much longer journey than the relative short hop across the Atlantic. My body still isn't quite sure what time it is. Jet-lag aside, I had an absolutely wonderful time. The people of Melbourne were wonderfully kind and helpful. On our one non-work day, we had a fantastic brunch (on a recommendation) where the locals at the table next to us kindly recommended activities for the afternoon and even <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/jeffeaton/2390910467/">took our picture</a>.</p>

<p>Since it was a work trip, I didn't get to see nearly as much of Australia as I would have liked. No kangaroos. No dingos. No koala bears. But the people of Australia were awesome enough that I am just going to have to go back someday. Thank you all!</p>
