May Manchester Madness - on the road with Colin

Site updated on 23 May 2014

Stephen and Apple colleague John were honoured to be joined by Manchester Med School dynamo, Colin Lumsden, on a roadtrip around Australia. Hard work was interspersed with some very pleasant diversions including a visit to the vineyards of the Barossa Valley, watching the sun set over the sea (it rises over the sea for us East Coast Aussie residents) in Perth, a relaxing family BBQ at Chateau AthoTurnbull, and a last supper with Sydney Medic pals Zol and Phil.

Colin then met up with his clan in Perth for a wee break from the madness whilst John and Stephen gear up for the next roadtrip.
