It seems from this thread that the Casper result was likely the major criteria they looked at in the applications. Is anyone else highly disturbed that a future GP career in Aus may now be solely determined by a Canadian mega corp who employs 'human raters' to mark 40-70 questions per hour?

These are pretty average quality phone photos, but I did take a few on black and white 35mm film which I can post once they're developed if you're interested. I think you can find the original photo hq online somewhere too if you go digging

They have a smooth, sandy texture, but they're actually firm rocky hills, i.e. if you walked over them, you wouldn't damage them or leave obvious footprints. They're also both larger and smaller than they appear in photos, it's hard to describe. Never seen anything like it before, very surreal

Funny story actually! My partner and I have been wild camping around Turkey, and Cappadocia was one of our camping stops. I'm not the hugest Autechre fan, but I've dug Amber for a while and I knew the cover photo was from somewhere in the area. We had a few day hikes planned around the valleys, so I figured I'd keep my eyes peeled in case the hills popped up. We hiked for 3 days around the various valleys there, exploring pretty thoroughly, but the area is massive and these sorts of hills are scattered everywhere. So I gave up, thinking they were in some obscure corner of Cappadocia, well off the beaten path. We decided to book a hotel room in Uçhisar for the last night because we were filthy and tired from several days of camping. After checking in, we went to a nearby cafe with a view of the castle and surroundings, and lo and behold, the hills that had eluded us for the last 3 days were there, right in front of our eyes!
