Stephen was in the good old Sydney western suburbs again April 14-19th to work with the Uni Western Syd. Unlike the last stint there, Stephen set up shop solo this time. Like last time, he had to deliver 2 hour workshops at a number of their campuses as the map below shows. With 2 a day on a few days, that was a lot of driving. But some campuses were pleasing, Stephen did escape the 'burbs to visit his pal Zollie who he had only seen visited once since he left Otago Uni in NZ 2 years prior, and attended a cocktail party for the opening of New England University Parramatta Campus.
