Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could point me to physics labs or really any place to do with physics (not engineering) that take on students in the summer holidays. I am currently in my 2nd year of a B Eng / B Adv. Science degree in Australia. I've looked up places to do with engineering but my passion lies with physics and so (even though I may make less) I would love to find somewhere I could do pure physics.

If you aren't sure about places that do this sort of thing could you just reply with physics labs that are in Australia that I can contact as I have had no success in finding any (aside from CSIRO and ANSTO).

Thanks in advance
