We have left the ranch and are now occupying a two up and two down, little unit at a local resort. It's OK. The University of New South Wales has appointend my successor. I use the word appointed loosely: 'twas the only person to apply! Now that I know who it is and am faced with having them follow me round for the next few weeks, I am ready to leave.
It's been a good time and I feel very lucky to have had it. Medical education was no part of my plan but I do feel that I have shown some talent for it. I like the students who are a source of stimulation even joy, on a regular basis. How much they all know and learn. When I reflect on my time as an undergraduate I realise how far we have come.
Both Pat and I shall miss Australia but all good things come to an end. (Don't you wish you had invented that turn of phrase?)
