Brisbane Lions!!

26th March 2011 - Brisbane Lions vs. Freemantle Dockers

My fellow ambassadors and I decided to meet at Adelaide st to catch a free bus to the event. I'm always impressed with the management and co-ordination of events in Brisbane.

After arriving at the Gabba - we participated in free pre-game entertainment. It consisted of free photo's, Lions lanyards, drum performance, farm animals and more. It was actually quite fun just getting prepped and excited for the game. I also think it's a really good way to encourage families to come together and to come often.

Then we found our seats - front row, right behind the posts. It was Awesome! We were so close to the action. There were 4 quarters of about 30 mins each, and that = a lot of running. They must get so tired.



Really it's an enjoyable game to watch. And best of all - you can even get student priced tickets!

After the game, you can all go on the field after and kick a football around. So remember to bring a ball, and definitely make sure you have eyes in the back of your head!

Brisbane Welcomes International Students

Sat 5th March, 2011 - King George Square, Brisbane

The morning was overcast and a little humid. Final touches were being added to the stalls, and volunteers were buzzing. I know I was getting excited because I didn't know what to expect, and 'cause I like meeting new people.

I think most of the international students were interested in the information provided to help make their life in Brisbane more interesting and more comfortable. Probably second to this, they were excited to see our native animals (koalas, snakes, goannas etc), and thinkbefore George, the international safety ambassador.

Lord Mayor Campbell Newman also addressed those in attendance, pointing out the contribution of international students to our economy and multicultural society.

In my opinion I think all had a fun day, and thankfully, the rain held off.
