Armidale and NEGS

I did do some teaching in Australia. Apparently I didn't take too many photos, but here's the lovely town of Armidale:

This is where I lived

Here's an evening shot of the music block

I realize that it's a little silly that the only photo I have of the music block is at sunset, but this is typically how I saw it, if not later in the day, so that's an authentic memory.

On my last night in Armidale we went out to celebrate one of my roommate's birth day and here is a photo of my lovely roommates (and friends):
