Swimming 36:00 [2] 1.0 km (36:00 / km)
A morning session before a big conference day. Headed for the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre (coming from Canberra, where there is a strict policy of not naming things after living people, it feels a bit strange for a civic facility to be named after someone relatively young) for a session. Getting there was half the fun - it's relatively close in a straight line but negotiating the Darling Harbour developments to get there was a bit like trying to solve a complicated sprint leg without a map. (I found a better route back). Session started OK but faded away a bit.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the foyer of the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre contains a poster for the Yes campaign.
The conference talk went well - also generated a fair bit of media follow-up which many of you will have encountered. Hopefully my colleagues aren't too jealous about the ABC describing me as "Australia's leading climate scientist".
