North Stradbroke Island

---

The first couple days of my trip have been beautiful and quiet. A usual day consists of morning lecture, mid-morning tea and biscuits, and inspections of sea creatures in the mudflats of Moreton Bay. My marine biology class is so interesting - who considers going out to the beach to collect sea cucumbers, hermit crabs, or spaghetti worms, class? It's great. I am living with all my friends from HWS and Union. Can't wait to meet my host family tomorrow and head off to Brisbane to see the city!
