Koalas spend five hours a day feeding and ten hours a day sleeping.   (Not sure what they do the other nine hours, but I think it involves meetings.)

    I am glad to see you had time to enjoy some of the things Australia has to offer, I attended the AHRI conference in Melbourne and wanted to say, your seminar was extremely engaging, informative and thought provoking.
    Thank you for a wonderful experience.
