Sydney, Australia

Our first full day here, so why are we here? We brought 17 students to Australia to cover the Women’s World Cup for the Associated Press. In a few days we’ll split into three teams, one headed north to Brisbane, one staying put and mine will head south to Melbourne.

We started the day with a visit from Mark Baker, AP’s photo editor for Australia and New Zealand. What I expected to be a short logistics and welcome visit turned into a three-plus hour long discussion and tutorial with the students – it was fantastic.

We then headed out to explore.
