Today we ventured to the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) here in Brisbane. The displays there were amazing! All of the artwork was based around the theme: “Contemporary Australia: Optimism” – each portraying how the artists view the world through positive eyes.
The inspiring art displays included: paintings (some of which looked as though they were actually a photograph), sculptures, drawings, video instalations, among many other art forms.

The Marly Bar- Site visit endorsed but not visited by Joanne.
For spending a month in Australia you can’t expect us to stay in the classroom the whole time. Exploring the nightlife has been of interest to many of us and has opened us up to unique and fun experiences.

Yesterday, several of us went to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary! Over the last twenty days I have spent in Australia, I had the most fun at Lone Pine. I held and took photos with a Koala, it was such an awesome experience! At that point I didn’t think I could have much more fun, however I was wrong. Our group then fed and played with somewhere around fifty kangaroos! The photos turned out awesome, and it is something that I will remember the rest of my life. We spent about three hours there enjoying all the other animal exhibits as well. It was a great way to start my time in Brisbane.
