Gunnedah - koala capital of the world

Yes I am fortunate enough to be in the koala capital of the world for two weeks. Have not seen a single one since being here, however perhaps they don't want to overwhelm visitors. Halfway through two weeks of dentistry school and its going well so far. Warmer than last time I was here in June when I had to go out and buy gloves and extra clothes to keep warm.

This first week of school we have just been working on skulls, which is different to last time I was here but has meant I've had a great chance to play with my new long burr (power equipment for getting right up to the back molars). I love it.... such a great piece of equipment. Next week, more lectures and working on live horses.

Have the weekend off, and there is bugger all to do here (no surprises) so will probably just take it easy, do some washing etc. There is a roping competition on at the property the school is on, on Sunday so will head out and watch that. Something to do!

Missing all the animals big time, but Ben has been keeping me up to date and have spoken to him most days which is great.

Not a lot else to report, and no photos unfortunately (probably not great to put pics of horse skulls on here anyway!) but will take some at the roping tomorrow and post them when I'm back in the non-koala capital of the world.
