Gold Coast

During the mid-semester break I went to visit Gold Coast with an Aussie friend.

We stayed with his relatives, the house was gorgeous and located on the riverside! The house had a swimming pool, ducks used to swim in it  as well!

One day we visited a huge damn that had been built which held a reservoir which provided the water for Gold Coast. It was really impressive.
 
 One day we went to a cafe, there was a commotion when a carpet python was found just outside the cafe so they captured it and released it by the river.

 
This is the view from the beach of the city. Every day we went to the beach for a long walk. It was such an amazing site to see.


 
Another day we went to a wildlife park where they took care of native wildlife; here I saw crocodiles, Koalas, Kangaroos, birds, tasmanian devils, echindas, snakes, frogs, wombats and many more.




 This was a waterfall in a gloworm cave in a rainforest I visited. It was beautiful, photos did not capture it well.

During the trip I also went to some of Gold Coasts theme parks: Wet 'n Wild world (a water park), movie worl (with really good roller coasters) and sea world (which I would highly reccommend.


I really enjoyed the trip to Gold Coast, especially the amazing sunny weather! It is possibly one of my favourite places I have been to so far!

University life!

It is now nearing the end of the first half of the semester.

I have really enjoyed university so far! The units I am taking is: Introduction to Music Business, International Business Context, Accounting for Decision Making and Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

I love the Entrepreneur and Music units - the lecturers are really enthusiastic and interesting! Its great to learn something completely new. The other units are less inspiring but are alright.

The university is a nice size, and there are plenty of places to go to study, use a computer, sit and have a coffee or socialise.

In my first music lecture we were given free red bull - it was bizarre.
