# Australia 2024

*I visited Sydney to participate in Drupal South, the main Drupal event in Australia and New Zealand. During the trip, I also had the opportunity to meet with the Sydney Opera House, which uses Drupal and Acquia Cloud for their website.*

*Spent the weekend in Avalon, a charming seaside community in Sydney, Australia, known for its beautiful beaches and surf culture.*
