More pictures and not much else.

Not much to report today... rain is only occasional and very light, so the walk here was dry and relatively cool. I've signed up for an Australian bank account, but I think I'm going to wait until I've had my big shopping trip tomorrow before I wire my money over, just to make sure I don't overdraw anything.

I hate banks. Really hate them.

The SGA gives out free loaves of bread every Monday and Friday, so I've got a loaf of bread in my backpack. They've also got a student organic vegetable co-op thing going... details are a little fuzzy, but the signs say students can get a week's worth of veggies (also eggs) for real cheap, so that's pretty cool. I figure the more money I save on food, the more money I can spend on wild weekend trips.

There's supposed to be a pool party either today or tomorrow, so I've got my swimsuit and I'm going to go see if it's today. In the meantime, have the rest of my pictures from arrival! (which have been up on facebook for ages already).
The Brisbane airport (Brisbane is sub-tropical. Townsville is tropical)


On campus:


This is the library. You can't see it very well, but that pyramid structure is a fountain- after it rains they pour the water down it, so the drainage looks pretty.

Stream in the middle of campus (that makes it really easy to get lost, I must say)


Footpath/drainage ditch on my walk back to the hotel. You have to walk through the stream no matter what...
