No. Before that, he will also be giving a plenary lecture at the ANZIAM conference at the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba.

Nice guy; told me Tao Jr. also loves maths! It was good to finally see Tao, along with the opportunity to catch up with some of my maths friends and faculty lecturers three weeks out from Semester One.

Here are some shots while I was there:
