Is pretty miserable right now actually. I'm at the Medina Executive Apartments, about a block off the beachfront. It has been raining all afternoon and it is also quite windy. I'm here for the Future Mining 2008 Conference and Exhibition at the University of New South Wales. Hoping to learn heaps more about the future of automation in mining, this time from an academic's point of view.
This evening, I headed out to dinner with Al. We did a lap of the main street and ended up with two nice looking restaurants. One was "In the mood for Thai" and the other was "Churrasco". Both looked pretty good but there was a more funky vibe and more people at Churrasco so in we went! Churrasco is a Brazilian BBQ restaurant where different cuts of meat (and other things like seasoned mozzarella, cheese bread and sliced sausage) come out and you basically eat until you can't eat anymore!
I love trying something new when I travel and this place was certainly something! Having chorizo, parmesan beef, eye fillet, scotch fillet, chicken and pork sausages, roast lamb... all coming out at our heart's content! You get a little coaster with a red side and a green side, so the waiters walking around with the food know if you want anything coming past. Green means "yes, offer me food!" while red means "i'm having a rest" or "i'm done!".
I'm also looking forward to scoping out Coogee during the daytime (if there's time on Friday). Perhaps do some shopping and sight-seeing. Maybe even help Al with the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon he got from the flight over from Perth! Hope to take some photos tomorrow too.
