Wednesday 16th February 2011, Meteorite talk at Benalla
At the monthly meeting of the Astronomy Benalla (AB), 7:30pm at the Benalla Christian School, Sydney Road. I will be presenting a talk about meteorites as their guest speaker. The technical content of this talk will be slightly greater than what I normally present to schools due to the expected audience, but essentially it is much the same. So if you would like to see one of my talks for free and evaluate them for yourself, please come along. After the meeting, feel free to come and introduce yourself.

Wednesday 6th April, Meteorite talk at Albury Wodonga Astronomical Society

I have been invited back to the Bendigo District Astronomical Society to present another talk.

I also have a brief interview on ABC Bendigo radio at 8:40am on Friday 28th October with Fiona Parker to briefly discuss my talk. You can hear it online, so you don't have to live locally to listen.
