2400 km One Week - 1100 the next

The last two weeks have seen a lot of travel. Two weeks ago I was in Narrabri for a 3 day conference organised by the Cotton CRC (that was a round trip of 600km). Two days later it was off to Canberra and back, a round trip of 1800 km. A week later still and I'm now in the middle of a further 1100 km round trip to the very little towns of Wee Waa and Warren on the plains of central NSW to conduct focus groups with innovative business leaders.

Fortunately, we have a chauffeur this time to pilot us around the countryside because I'm more than a little tired of driving long distances. So my colleague, Bernice Kotey, and I sit back and have learned discussion on the world at large. Bernice is Ghanaian by birth and an Associate Professor in the New England Business School teaching in areas like entrepreneurship. By the way, 3500km equates to about 2200 miles, so it's a long way.

There are no pictures accompanying this post because I assume readers know what a road looks like.
