Women In Mining
On the 14th November, a colleague and myself attended the Women in Mining Conference based at K&L Gates. It was an annual education event, giving students an insight into potential careers in mining and resources.

Romero Canyon Falls, Catalina State Park
Today was incredibly challenging! We began en route at 9am, with three litres of water in my rucksack I thought I was more than prepared. How wrong could I be. Today was an incredibly hot, in fact it was exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit, added to the climbing altitude, many some of us very ill quickly and soon abandoned the hike. Although the day wasn't completely unsuccessful, as I got to experience was the true arid Arizona is like. A few hours within the trek, the scenery was fantastic, something I would only dream about on a pre-printed postcard. Consequently, I will return at some point during the year to complete the hike and go cliff diving. Certainly something to tick off my bucketlist.
