I was fortunate to head over seas recently to two very different countries, Germany and Cambodia. The experiences I had made quite the impression on me so I have decided to share them here.

Arriving home to a place you have never been, Arkaroola
Last October I took a trip to the far north of the Flinders Ranges to help my best mate sample a rare plant species. This blog describes my experience at Arkaroola wildlife sanctuary – a place that feels like home and one that I cannot wait to return to.
South Australia- from land to sea and everything in between: why do I think I live in the best city in the world?
It has been a while since I have blogged again, mainly I have been super busy with finishing my PhD thesis. This blog is all about South Australia and what I have discovered since not being able to travel overseas. The world can be beautiful, and it is good to stop and take note of the wonderful, natural world your own city has to offer.
Why is science about the people you meet?
I recently sat down with my friend, roommate and colleague to chat about her journey in science, culminating in her current PhD. Colette Blyth uses genomic analyses of Australian native plants to directly inform conservation. Read all about her story in this blog.
What makes the Flinders Rangers so Remarkable?

I was very lucky to get to travel here and explore the arid landscape, taking in the plant and animal life and snapping some great photographs. Read more to find out about this adventure I had.
What did I learn from 4 days listening to Nobel laureates?
While I had thought I would be writing more travel blogs at this time, the coronavirus situation has put my travel plans put on hold. Instead, this past week I have been involved in an online science meeting where I was able to engage with Nobel laureates and meet other young scientists from around the globe!

The narrow neck of South Australia, The Coorong.
A place where I have frequented throughout much of my scientific journey is The Coorong National Park which is located in South Australia, Australia. The Coorong and Lower lakes are a wetland system that belong to the indigenous Ngarrindjeri people.This coastal lagoon is home for many migratory birds and Australian wildlife. This is a special place for me that I thought I would share a little bit about.
