The main UQ campus is located in St Lucia. I now ride my bike to school every day. It's tricky at first because not all routes were created equal. You may start with some nice areas where you basically ride through parks and heavily wooded lands. Then the roads may get a bit hilly so you need to switch for lower gear ratios. And then, you come across a monster slope that seems almost impossible to climb, but wait, you know you will go for it because a sweet downhill slide is awaiting you, right? --Be careful, it can be FRIGHTENING! I am not kidding... I am talking about looking down at your toes from the peak! Then again looking forward, you see a million ups and downs in distance, smiling and waiting for you, what do you do next? So... choosing the right (flat) route is crucial!
Also the college (junior/high school) uniforms here are pretty. I like to leave my office early in the afternoon and I hit the school time quite often. Here young girls wear nice blouse with a jumper, dark skirt and tights, and a big round sun hat -- quite like what you see in Harry Potter. I was also wondering why I haven't seen any neat boys yet...
UQ is the biggest and oldest university in Queensland established in 1909. So not surprisingly it has almost every department you could possibly imagine. Because Australia is big on environmental sustainability, studies on marine science, mining, biology (basically native plants and animals) are well established. People here are really nice and the research environment is rather superb!
