Friday was technically our last day of O-week, but instead of being around campus we were taken to Gold Coast, I think, to Carrumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and the Surf Museum. It was a pretty early morning, so most everyone was sleeping on the bus. I was sitting next to Caitlin and we were attempting to take pictures of the scenery, it was an EPIC FAIL. We kept getting blury photos and foliage that we didn't want in the photo, it pretty much became a joke for the two of us. When we arrived at Gold Coast, we first stopped at the Surf Museum where we saw the world's largest surfboard ridden by 47 people. We also saw some of the first surfboards created and some amazing surf photos. After the museum we finally made it into Carrumbin and right away Lexy and I went to get our photos taken with the koala. Lexy went first and took her photo, but when it was my turn the photographer had to fix something, so I was left holding the koala for a good couple of minutes. The zookeeper that held the koala in between people told me that it was very rare what I was doing because they generally don't let people hold the koalas for too long and I found out why. It scares them and they will poop on you! So the koala pooped on me and it was luckily not too bad since all they eat is eucalyptus, but seriously now koala poop at the start of my visit not so much fun. After I cleaned up my shirt, Lexy and I went to find the kangaroos and ended up staying there for a long time feeding and petting them. Thus the reason why there are so many kangaroo photos on my facebook. After the kangaroos we walked around some more looking at the animals and we saw a high ropes course. We both had wanted to do something like that while we were here in Australia, so we asked a worker how much it cost to do the course. When we were told that it was included with the ticket we both knew we were going to do it. Luckily we made it into the last group of the day, and set off on our high ropes adventure for about 2 hours. When we were finished, we ran into a bunch of other people and they were quite jealous they didn't do the course, but Lexy and I think we weren't told because it would have taken too long for everyone to participate. We saw a few more animals like the Tasmanian Devil which looks like a giant rat and some Dingoes. And we then left to meet the bus and head back to Lismore and home. When we got back I crashed.  It had been a pretty long day.
