Read MoreI spent a fun day in the gorgeous Dandenong ranges East of Melbourne chatting to the schools there as part of the Mt Burnett Observatory Science Day. Hundreds of pupils attended a day-long series of talks at the Observatory (where I got to show off the helioscope to view the Sun in H-alpha) and then I headed to Emerald High School to speak there about Australian astronomy.
Read MoreIt was an honour to make it all the way to the State Finals for the national Fresh Science competition to find great science in the country and learn how to present it to the general public.
