Welcome!

This will serve as the official blog for my Auburn University Building Science Down Under Study Abroad program. For the next six weeks I will be posting thoughts and pictures about my experiences as we travel across Australia and New Zealand. Enjoy!

15.

How is it that we are already on day 15? Time is a funny thing. Yesterday was another scorcher here in Brisbane. Apparently, it hasn't been this hot here in years. Go figure, the Alabama crew brings the heat. We traveled to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and spent the afternoon. This is a unique place where you can go and play with kangaroos, cuddle koalas, and see a variety of native Australian species. And we thought the zoo was cool. I think I speak for everyone when I say it was one of the most unique experiences we have had since we have been here in Australia. I mean, who gets to cuddle a koala and lay in the grass with kangaroos?!

Afterwards, the group got together to go eat some Mexican food. This was no easy feat. After finally finding a restaurant a ways away, we discovered that the chips are extra $5 and the margaritas taste like bananas. If there is one thing America does well it is bad, cheap Mexican food. I miss it.
