Hi and welcome discofrog 
! I lived and worked in Melbourne for 7 years, later moving from Keilor to Bacchus Marsh, not too far from Ballarat. Good memories of that time. Hope you’re doing okay. Good to have you with us.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. I never been to Australia but always wanted to go there. Just its geographical location is so fascinating. Although my number one fascinating location is New Zeland, number two is Australia. I never been in either place.
And no I am not talking about culture. I am talking about landscape. How does it look over there? Is it as magical as I imagine?
By the way, have you ever been anywhere outside Australia/ New Zeland? Do you see Northern hemisphere in the same magical light as I see Australia?

It's very beautiful, especially further away from the cities. There are beaches, rainforests and open plains. I appreciate Australia's diversity.
I've been to New Zealand before and enjoyed Rotorua a lot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18TfLR-0MAI).
I've been to see family in Canada, and also been to Northern Ireland for a Uni exchange. I definitely see the Northern Hemisphere in a magical light - I'd love to explore more.
Wow its amaizing that Australia changes so much. Does it basically change within walking distances or how far would you have to travel? I never been to rainforest! What is it like?
That video that you shown looks amaizing. In the beginning of that video, is it the water being heated from the volcano? Is it possible to swim there or is it way too hot?
So did part of your family move from Australia to Canada or from Canada to Australia? How often do you see each other?
And what was it like to be in Ireland? How do those educational systems compare?

Don't get hung up on spending money on a formal diagnosis. My employer paid for mine but there's no way I would've spent hundreds otherwise. If you can identify with the diagnostic criteria then that's good enough. A piece of paper isn't necessary in order for you to be aware of your differences.
Oh, and welcome by the way
Oh, and welcome by the way
I was surprised by how expensive it is! Thanks for welcoming me

I'd say that it probably depends a lot on how far you're walking, and on where you are in Australia. It's a big place - I haven't seen much of it yet, haha! I really love the rainforest - the air is so crisp and fresh
I wasn't sure about the mud pools, but found a website that said:
" What causes hot springs and geysers?
They are produced when water underground is heated, and rises to the surface. This is known as a geothermal system.
Most geothermal systems are near volcanoes that have been active in the past, or are still active. Because of this, the ground is heated by molten rock, known as magma, which is close to the surface.
Rainwater seeps through cracks in the rocks and down towards the magma, which heats it up. This makes it rise quickly back up to the surface. We see hot water and steam coming out of the earth as springs, mud pools or geysers." https://teara.govt.nz/en/hot-springs-mu ... nd-geysers.
I went in some hot springs at the Polynesian Spa in Rotorua, which was fun. Some of the pools were very hot!Part of my family moved to Canada - I've seen them a few times, but we don't get together much due to the distance. We Skype now and then
It was different studying in Northern Ireland - I missed home a lot, but enjoyed it! It was fun to explore somewhere new

I was doing postdocs in physics. Even though I am in graduate school now, I am doing my second ph.d. not the first one. I did my first ph.d. in Physics and now I am doing second ph.d. in Math. I did both of the ph.d.-s in the USA. But -- after I finished first ph.d. and before I started second ph.d. -- I did three postdocs in India.
