[...] March 2007 was quite a busy month in Australian library blogland. Various RL library events have blogged about, such as the L2 Unconference in Melbourne. Jessamyn West’s visit to Australia had quite an impact in the Aussie blogosphere, and was blogged by CW, techxplorer, Kayo and Sputty. Australian LIS bloggers have played a role in this year’s ALIA elections.

Jessamyn, it was great to meet you on Saturday and I hope the rest of your trip is enjoyable.

It used to be orchards, and is still quite green for a ‘burb, but not terribly rural anymore (though there are horsepaddocks near the high school.)

I hope that the next time you are in Australia visiting State Libraries you will be able to come to Brisbane in Queensland.

While I would look forward to your talk , I would really like to push a few of my colleagues along who badly need their horizons expanded
:-)

Thank you for visiting Australia.
