Hi Everyone,
I know it has been a little while since my last update, so I figured upon my return from Spring break would be the best time to post something new. On Monday, I arrived back to Monash University in Melbourne after a jam backed 10 days traveling up and down the east coast of Australia. The trip began with a flight to Brisbane, where we spent our first day at the Australia Zoo petting Kangaroos and appreciating the many accomplishments of the late Steve Irwin ( the zoo is essentially a shrine to the man). After spending the night in a hostel, we boarded a ferry to “Fraser Island” where we swam in one of the world’s largest fresh water lakes several meters above sea level. The water was crystal clear, and reminded me a lot of a much larger, much more Australian (if that makes any sense) Long Pond in Wellfleet. The next three days proved to be the best of the trip, as we boarded two pontoon boats to the Whitsunday Islands where we hiked, kayaked, and enjoyed several beverages by the pool at the South Molle resort off the coast of Northern Australia. After a relaxing three days, our trip took a shot of adrenaline upon our arrival to Cairns, where I spent the next 4 days white water rafting, bungee jumping, bar crawling, and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. Many stories, and a very Irish tan later (I know many of you can relate), I can safely say it was an experience like none I have ever had before and will surely never forget. Despite understandable misconception- yes, I do go to school here and it is back to reality, as I am currently going through the end of semester crunch time, and beginning to prepare for finals.
I hope everyone is doing well, and am looking forward to seeing you all in a month and a half.
Talk to you soon ,
Jeff
