@gavinrish Thank you for being a super supervisor!! Very special day to share the stage with you!

@TomWGarner @gavinrish @MandelaUni Great to show you around the South African SSLiME haunts @TomWGarner. Good luck with the PhD, look forward to reading those papers in the near future!

1/3 I'm just about caught up after a fantastic trip to South Africa to visit their wonderful #SSLiME #EPStromNet stromatolite sites. In October I had the opportunity to see some great living stromatolite systems with @gavinrish and @CarlaDodd6 from @MandelaUni...

4/4 I'd be lying if I said I didn't have an eye out for the flora- especially some stunning endemic orchids- Spider Orchid (Caladenia) sp. (any idea of species- @Orchid_hunters @thesilverdory?) and Western Tongue Orchid (Cryptostylis ovata). #ozplants

3/4... and of course a few photos of the wildlife - a little bit more exotic than back home in NI- Laughing Kookaburra, Carnaby's Black Cockatoos, Galahs and Goanna (Monitor Lizard sp.).

2/4 Another definite highlight was seeing the living thrombolites at Lake Clifton, amazing to see 'microbialite tourism'!

Finally got around to posting some photos from the #EPStromNet Western Australia field campaign a couple of weeks ago with @DrNatalieHicks @GJCUnderwood @CarlaDodd6 and @gavinrish 1/4 The wonderful peritidal microbialites - the reason I was there!
