G'Day from Bundy

G'Day Mates...

David Prescott and I are in Bundaberg, Australia providing training on the assessment, treatment, and risk management of persons who sexually offend to a wonderful group of social workers and psychologists mostly associated with Phoenix House (skillfully managed by ATSA member Kathy Prentice).

Near Bundaberg, many of the beaches (Mon Repos is a good example) are breeding grounds for endangered sea turtles. Here, we see some baby Loggerheads...


Here is a downtown vista in Bundaberg...


David and I have become minor celebrities in Bundy, having been shot for Channel 7 news, photographed for the local newspaper, and recorded for ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Radio. The link below leads to the radio interview, for those who might be interested.

And here's the link to the newspaper article...


Some of you may remember that Queensland (Northeastern Australia) suffered terrible floods this past winter. In the picture above, you get a sense of some of the damage done. In the picture below, imagine that the flood waters of the Burnett River rose to virtually the level of the bridge in the background.


Next week, we're off to Perth...
