Martin spent 5 weeks in Australia working for ActivIdentity at their newly acquired office in Canberra. Canberra itself grew on Martin the longer he was there and he totally made the most of the weekends, visiting Sydney and the Blue Mountains, flying up to Brisbane to see old friends Jeff and Cath, driving to Melbourne to see old work friend Wayne and going whale watching off the "nature coast" amongst other things. Quite possibly the trip of a lifetime, Martin also spent a weekend in Hong Kong on the way back to the UK.
