    Just wanted to drop in a quick note to say thank you to the McFarlane Awards panel for August’s Highly Commended recognition - the team here back in Melbourne were thrilled. A big congratulations to the winning entry and other award nominees too - it was great company to be included in.

    Though for me it was just a whirlwind visit - I was only up for the afternoon for Chris Wilson’s session and the awards presentation - however before and after Chris’ talk I was priviliged to meet some really great people attending WDS07. Just wanted to say thanks for being so welcoming, and thanks also to John Allsopp. August will certainly be back next year.

    Cheers,

    Zoe Warne
