The season for lectures has begun and I have been able to score three over the next month. Each of these is related to the health and well being of Australia in one way or another. The first I will be attending is the AIIA Japan Economic Symposium which will be looking at the important trading partnership between Australia and Japan, as well as the growing importance of the geostrategic alliance. I’m hoping that there will be extra information concerning the Indian Ocean and its relationship to that geopolitically driven alliance.
The second session is called, Sunburnt Country: The History and Future of Climate Change in Australia held at UWA and run by the UWA Institute of Advanced Studies. I have attended a lot of their lectures and every one of them has been fascinating. Sadly though, due to my roster and working in a FIFO environment, the number of lectures I can attend is limited.
The third session will be the Unorthodox and exciting applications of solar energy which will also be hosted at UWA as part of the Institute of Advanced Studies. This is going to be a special one for me because I am taking my two sons along. As soon as I saw the title, I knew that this was the one that I needed to start my two boys with. I’m not trying to force them to think the way I do, but I have always intended for them to se the world from a variety of perspectives.
That’s it for now, and I look forward with anticipation to the coming events.
