End of year party!

As the sun set on another busy year, the group gathered at Philip's place to celebrate Christmas and the summer break. This year, there was a special appearance by Dr Victor Streltsov, one of Philip's PhD supervisors from UWA. Victor is 'PhD grandfather' to Philip's students! Sausages were sizzled, salads were shared and many delicious desserts were laid out for the feast. Thanks to everyone who contributed food for the party!

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas holiday and looking forward to seeing you in 2018!
