Queensland Term Abroad

Field Trips

In Australia we will take four, one-week field trips:

Moreton Bay Research Station, North Stradbroke Island:
Marine and terrestrial ecology (Here's what a previous year's trip was like.)

Heron Island Southern Great Barrier Reef:
Snorkeling and SCUBA diving (if certified)

Lamington National Forest:
A subtropical rain forest (Here's what a previous year's trip was like.)

Saddler Springs Cattle Station:
A 30,000 acre ranch in the Australian bush with 700 cattle and many more wild kangaroos and wallabies. (Here's what a previous year's trip was like.)
