surfers paradiseThe Gold Coast orientation trips take place at the beginning of each semester and has become a tradition for commencing international students.

The day long bus trip usually has a visit to Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, about one hour drive from Brisbane and lunch at a Surf Lifesaving Club on another stunning Queensland beach. We also visit the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary where you can see koalas, kangaroos, and many other native animals in their natural settings. It is home to one of the world's largest collections of Australian Animals featuring over 1500 individual animals from over 200 species. www.currumbin-sanctuary.org.au

The orientation trip is a chance to meet new friends and relax before the hard work of study begins.
