Also speaking at this conference was Allan Myers, who has just joined Keating Chambers as an International Member, and it was a pleasure to catch up with him.

Allan Myers AC QC, Holly Gavaghan and yours truly at Darling Harbour

Allan is one of those people who is not only rather well-known, but is startlingly bright, with a very broad range of interests. I have suggested that chambers should put a clause into his terms requiring him to regularly travel to South Australia so that we can work our way through lunches at the better restaurants in McLaren Vale.
