This is a picture of the Brisbane river. Our hostel was only a few blocks away. Brisbane had a lot of bridges crossing this river, but unlike in the Bay Area, each of the bridges is designed in a different architectural style. I will have to post pictures of the interesting spiderweb/ship-without-sails footbridge at some point.
This is an ibis. It's a scavenger bird, and is the Australian version of a pigeon or a seagull (although they have pigeons as well). There are a lot of these on campus - they sneak up next to you and try to steal your food!
At least one of the lakes on campus has these really big eels swimming around!
Viewing the eels in the lake.
Tree with interesting seed pods. There are a lot of really neat plants here, and I will know more about them as my terrestrial ecology class continues.
