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.
