Time in Melbourne

I was flown to Melbourne for three days by my new employer Endeavour College of Natural Health
Australian College of Natural Medicine
I had some good induction by Philip (and Lucy) into my role managing the new Adelaide library for their newly acquired Adelaide campus.
Endeavour College of Natural Health is a rebadged Australian College of Natural Medicine with campuses in Perth, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney and now Adelaide which until November 2008 was the well established South Australian Health Education Centre.
