Heading back

Just checked in at Adelaide.

Got to wait about an 1.5 hours.

It was either hang around the hotel or the QANTAS Club.

The Club is nicer.

Got another wait in Melbourne for 1.5 hours. On the way from Melbourne to Adelaide the automated checkin system offered me an earlier flight but I declined and it was better as I had to wait over an hour for the hotel to get the room ready.

I was there before the normal checkin time.

I checked this morning to see if there was an earlier flight from Adelaide to Melbourne so I could connect to the earlier Hobart flight but no luck.

Ozcomiccon 2015 Sunday

Just collected my last photos from yesterday

Just been to the first talks of the day. Laughed through most of the panels.

The first was Billy Boyd who had his large audience laughing a lot.

The second was Agam Darshi (Kate) and Jonathon Young (Tesla) from Sanctuary. They are so funny together after doing several conventions together.

Jonathon also gave a great scene from hamlet.

Just having lunch on the lounge set aside for VIP tickets holders before going to more panels including

Dominic Keating
J August Richards
Michael Shanks
Billie Piper

Ozcomiccon Dinner

Caught the train out to Melbourne Zoo. Great day seeing the animals.

Both were quite interesting.
