University of Queensland Campus

My home for the next semester… July - November (spring in Australia) 1995.

Stradbroke Island Geology Trip

My Sedimentology & Basin Analysis class visited one of Brisbane’s barrier islands to study the road cuts, rocky beaches, and silica and rutile mining facilities. The boys use any excuse to jump in the water.

Mt. Tamborine

Camping trip, rainforest walks, and treetop walk.

Heron Island

This tiny island - about 40 acres - boasts unique geology and outstanding biodiversity. I was fortunate enough to assist my classmate Graham with his research here over spring break.
