Wild Feelings

Lincoln's Flat Rock, the magnificent photo opportunity

I was really finally here! It is a magnificent feeling when you actually achieve something you have been working for a long time and never really believed it could come true. This whole thing has been like that. The cost of it, the visa, finding a school… But now I’m here, awesome! :)

Before the real uni life begins there are a lot of different kinds of pre-orientation activities around the campus and trips around Sydney. The first one was a free lunch - how convenient on my first day here! Well, it was a cup of nice sweet corn soup and a piece of some bread, maybe something foccaccia-like. But I hadn’t eaten anything after the plane had landed at 5 am. 

I spent my first weekend having an amazing Wilderness Weekend organised by the uni and the Colourful Trips. The bus picked us up from the uni and then we spent the whole weekend driving around and seeing some really awesome things! That is Blue Mountains National Park, the Three Sisters rock formation, the Jenolan Caves, free kangaroos, an authentic Aussie pub, had an authentic Sausage Sizzle Aussie style, took the magnificent photo opportunity at the Lincoln’s Flat Rock and in the Featherdale Wildlife Park we saw KOALAS! Among many other authentic Aussie species.

Wild kangaroos!
