DAY SIX: Introductions and reunions

What?
The day started with joining an early commuter tram to visit the bustling city centre laneways for 'morning tea' (which I think is cake for breakfast?) and a meeting over coffee. A quick glimpse of the yarra river then on for more coffee and meeting my Monash University 'buddy'. An evening on Chapel St enjoying a glass of local Victoria wine with Pad Thai dinner and a book. Plus, my suitcase finally arrived! It was covered in luggage tags and looking like it's had its own adventures, turning up a week after checking it in at Heathrow Airport! 

So what? 
Every meeting really does offer great new ideas and perspectives. For example, a thought-provoking question about if young people themselves can 'age out' of co-production work then does the work they leave behind age out of relevance at the same rate? Or a suggestion that co-production is uniquely important for LGBTQIA+ empowerment in youth mental health services as young people's emotional literacy in this area is often streets ahead. 

Now what? 
I'm putting all these thoughts and questions into the pot, for now, to be digested later and trying to write down the important bits. Next, a weekend away from the PhD and soaking up the city.
