Hi all,
I just arrived to Quest and hope we all are here or on the way. I see there is a bus from G Waverley at 9:23 tomorrow morning. Shall we meet at the stop of bus 737 there, at the station at about 9:15? I probably start walking form Quest at around 8:30, I understood that there is some shopping center with breakfast options on the way, I plan to have a quick bite there.
Note, that you need to have your Myki card ready before you go to the bus = before we meet at the bus stop. Because I am leaving on Sat, I just got a week long pass (39 AUD), but you might like to load money - I was told that single ride is 4 AUD, so load accordingly. I found it easier to get the card from Seven Eleven, from a human being.
Google suggest that there is a faster connection by 742 https://goo.gl/maps/95VJiic9wDz, but tomorrow on day 1, I will probably just follow the instructions.
I've a local SIM card, my number in AU is +61 (0) 415 253 830.
See you later today.
Dmitry

Hello group,

The summaries are found as PPT and as PDF. Individual responses in the Google table in the far right contain the valuable body of the free text comments. As agreed, in the secretariat we will compile of suggested IAS literature.
We will be sending arrival instructions and agenda documents shortly.
Thanks,
