Trip to the Hinterland with the USCi Brand Ambassador Team

Last Tuesday the USCi Brand Ambassadors went on a short trip to the Hinterland. On the way to Maleny we stopped on a few lookouts to see the Glass House Mountains and its nature.

McCarthy's Lookout

After visiting the small village Maleny we went to another small village - Montville and enjoyed the sunset at Gerrard's Lookout on our way back to the University.

The Glass House Mountains are leftovers of volcanic activity about 25-27 million years ago. 
After the volcanic mountains cooled vertical columns emerged.
They are landmark on the Sunshine Coast and a popular location for bushwalkers and hikers to explore.

The family members are:
Mt. Coochin- Kid
Mt. Ngungun- Kid
Mt. Tibrogargan- Father
Mt. Coonowrin- oldest kid
Mt. Beerwah - Mother
Mt. Tunbubuda- Kid


One day Tibrogargan saw that the sea was rising. He told his oldest kid to help his mother. He and the other kids went to the safety in the west. But Coonowrin went by himself to play. This made Tibrogargan angry and he ...

This time the Brand Ambassador Meeting was a social event. In two weeks we will have another Meeting. It will cover the topic of Marketing.

Some animals in Australia

First I have to make clear that some experiences depend on where you spend your time.

At the moment  lot of things happen on my familys' property.

On the weekend we had three situations with snakes. On Saturday I saw a small snake next to my door but I was too slow to call someone- so this snake is still in our garden somewhere...

On Sunday the son of my host family saw a snake looking at him through the window outside the house. He caught it and we brought the snake 15 kilometers away into a forest to live a good life.

Black swans

In my first weeks in Australia I saw a lot of kangaroos. It depends on the time you are out and the place you are if you will see kangaroos. Mostly kangaroos are out on big grass areas during the sunrise and the sunset. They don't like the hot weather.

Ride to Lighthouse at Point Cartwright

This Morning I woke up at 6:10 am without my alarm! I'm getting australian, that would be normal for them. So I went for a run up the hill to Buderim.

It's a really really steep street- i could not run all the way, so I walked the rest.

Today we had 32 Degrees!!! 

Its the 4th of September- the fifth day of spring- it feels like summer in Germany. 

But I have to be careful with the heat and sun because of the wind almost every day. Due the short distace to the ocean we always have a light breath that stretch the true power of the sun.

It was a really nice morning and I had no plans today- excluding studying so I made my way to the beach.

Point Cartwright

Last time I rode to the Beach I went to Mooloolaba Spit, which is right next to the Lighthouse. Only the sea splits the two destinations. So the ride today it was about 15 kilometers, to Mooloolaba it was a bit less. The way to get there is almost the same, only the last part is different.

 

Map of the Coloundra Region

I went to the Lighthouse in Kawana. Point Cartwright is one of the tallest lighthouses in Queensland. and stands 32 meters high. It was constructed in 1979.

My way of travelling and exercising

I had to study for my tutorial class I had this evening. So I combined duty and fun.

Short morning Trip to Mt. Coolum

This weekend I had to prepare for my next assignments, so I had not enough time to spend a whole weekend on a really nice spot. I would love to do that. Maybe I'll have the chance one day.

Especially right now I want to go for a trip due I'm looking for flights to the West Coast for October.

But the Sunshine Coast has some nice Spots not far from home.

We started our trip on Saturday morning at 6:10 am.

Mt. Coolum- just 20 minutes away from home

6:30 am- let's go

Walking- hiking- view on the Airport Sunshine Coast

7:00 am- I did it- on the top of Mt. Coolum with Buderim and Mooloolaba in the background

First Job and First tests

I've been very busy the last week so I will just talk about the last two weeks this time.
Two weeks ago I started my new job as an USCi Brand Ambassador. 

Way to the Mooloolaba Spit- meeting with the Brand Ambassadors

I will motivate students to go overseas or motivate students from all over the world to go to USC. It will all happen due stories or posts on Social Media Chanels like Instagram (piiinnz) this blog or my Facebook profil.
I also get trained in Marketing, How to become a digital Leader, take part in social events and a lot more. It's also part of my 5 step project. My focus will be on promoting RAC students doing the double degree at USC.

These are pictures from the Social event with the group of Brand Ambassadors. 

Last week I had 3 tests- I had to go somewhere exciting. Last Thursday I went to the Waterfall in Buderim- just a few minutes away from home. I went there with Kalvin- the new exchange student at RAC from september on. It's a nice walk to the waterfall- especially if you're with someone local who is just walking bush bash with you.

Week 3 and my new alarm

Second week of studying is calling. Every morning the birds and chooks in the Garden are singing a song for me to say 'Good Morning'. It's really nice waking up like this- but not at 4 am...

My new pets and alarm

I could join the Family for a walk in the morning-but I didn't till now- I'm too lazy to do Sports at this time. Maybe I should improve my Workout.

I'm going to Volleyball, Yoga and I'm riding my bike every day. This Weekend I went to the beach in Kawana by bike.

Everyone was so impressed that I did it, but it was only 40 Minutes /10 kilometers - flat- a way to the beach along the Mooloolah River National Park.

Yeees I did it!

Way Back - still day that's good- I should be home for dinner

This Sunday- like Always on sundays- grandparents and boyfriend of Emily and the guys from England, who stay with Ben, came to have dinner.

We had deligious Food, like every day. The host mum is an amazing cooker.
