I'm typing this time from the State Library (utilizing the free wireless instead of paying $10/hour at Bunk!). It's Monday afternoon here and I bet most of you are sound asleep in bed! I'm just starting to get the time difference right. Not much has happened since my last post - more of the same wandering around mostly! On Sunday my new friend Julia, a French girl who is in my room at Bunk, invited me to tag along with her French friends to the Gold Coast. We met at Central Station downtown and took the train to Nerang, then hopped a bus to Surfer's Paradise.

Surfer's is really the Daytona Beach of Australia, I think.
Today I'm just trying to figure out accommodation, and plan on attending a few orientation sessions at the St. Lucia UQ campus tomorrow. At some point this week, I'm going to travel over to the Lone Pine Koala Reserve, so I'll be sure to post pictures of that! Before I forget, I mean to post this in my last entry. I took this in the Botanic Gardens, which are snuggled south of the CBD and bordered by the river. Walking along the path I look up, and suddenly see these HUGE spider webs each stretching around 3 or 4 feet across. The spiders in the picture were probably the size of my hand. Freaky!
