    East Coast Road Trip (1)

    December 22, 2014 /

    By Kate Bowmar  (The University of Queensland, Australia) My last five weeks in Australia have been spent doing the classic East Coast road trip. On this trip I travelled the whole length of the Australian East Coast from Cairns to Melbourne, stopping at about 10 places in between. In this first blog, I am going to tell you all about the first leg of my trip, from Cairns to Brisbane.. Cairns – Two days after my final exam at UQ, myself and a friend flew to Cairns to begin our road trip. Cairns is the most northern city in the state of Queensland and about a two hour flight from Brisbane.…

    How’s things now in Manchester?

    October 29, 2014 /

    By Karl Vikat (University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia) It is time for the concluding entry of this blog, as reading week has arrived and it is time to assess how a reverse culture shock might have manifested itself, as well as how re-integrating into Manchester has evolved.

Probably, of all adjustments to Manchester, weather and the tempo changes have been the most pronounced. In Australia, most of the activities occurred outdoors; in fact, the distinction outside/inside did not really dominate…

    Amanda Blog 6: Places to go and things to do in Brisbane

    November 20, 2013 /

    By Amanda Chan (Australian National University, Canberra, Australia). After my adventure in Sydney (as mentioned in blog 4), my next trip around Australia was to Brisbane, the capital of Queensland. The cheaper, better way for us to travel to Brisbane from Canberra was to take a coach to Sydney then fly to Brisbane. As people have been saying, an advice is that the earlier you plan your trip, the cheaper the tickets will be. Brisbane was named after the river on which it sits, so the best way to tour around Brisbane is definitely along the Brisbane River. To make things more convenient and dedicate to a better Brisbane, the…
