Ryan Down Under: Beach Club Trip to Apollo Bay
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006/09/beach-club-trip-to-apollo-bay.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Sunday, September 24, 2006. Beach Club Trip to Apollo Bay. Another stereotypical Beach Club trip is in the books and this one was to the most gorgeous destination yet: Apollo Bay. This is the time when the water is the coldest. Cold enough that I got brain freeze everytime I ducked under a wave on my swim out. The next Beach Club trip is to Wilsons Promontory, the most southerly point in Australia and k...

Ryan Down Under: Beach Club Trip to Queenscliff
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006/09/beach-club-trip-to-queenscliff.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Sunday, September 10, 2006. Beach Club Trip to Queenscliff. Last week I was skiing in mountains north of Melbourne, and this past weekend was the first Beach Club trip of the term to Queenscliff about an hour from Melbourne. I guess Victoria can be compared to British Columbia with its vast range of seasonal activities all offered at the same time. We stayed in a huge guesthouse named Whitehall. On Sund...

Ryan Down Under: "Canberra - The Nations Capital"
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006/10/canberra-nations-capital.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Monday, September 25, 2006. Canberra - The Nations Capital". I have to confess that the title to this post isn't very original; it is the slogan on the all the licence plates in Australian Capital Territory, just like one of my first posts "Victoria - The Place to Be". This past week was the big Sydney road trip via Canberra. Next we walked down the main parade in town where you can see the old and new ...

Ryan Down Under: Quick Notes on 'Study' Week
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2007/03/quick-notes-on-study-week.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Quick Notes on 'Study' Week. As is the norm, we had a week off to study for exams after classes. Usually not much studying is done during this week (took off to Queensland last semester), and being on an exchange was twice the excuse to not open a single book again. After hanging out and chilling to the max, we arrived back home in the midst of preparations for the biggest Hall...

Ryan Down Under: March 2006
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Beach Weekend in Torquay. This past weekend the beach club from university went to Torquay: home to two or the surf industry’s biggest names, Rip Curl wetsuits, and Quiksilver clothing. The party got started as soon as we got in the vans (I guess it's not illegal here, but hey, "When in Rome"), and it took us almost 2 hours to get to Bells Beach Lodge. That night we had a BBQ (i...

http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006/08/mt-buller-ski-trip.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Friday, August 11, 2006. Mt Buller Ski Trip. The student association has been putting on trips that I have gone on in the past and this one was a ski trip to Mt Buller. Heres one part of the difference: the price! A lift ticket for the day for a student was 71$! Posted by Ryan @ 6:00 PM. Links to this post:. Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada. View my complete profile. Other Blogs of Interest.

Ryan Down Under: July 2006
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Friday, July 07, 2006. Central Australia Part 3: Kings Canyon and Alice Springs. The campsite had a pool that we actually used, but just barely since the water was so cold because it is still almost 0 at night. We were pretty isloated here, so we spent the 2 nights around the campfire being social. The funny part was that earlier in the day I had a camel steak burger at a restaurant in town. I also ...

Ryan Down Under: June 2006
http://ryandownunder.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
A photo journal of my year in Australia and take on Australian culture as a Canadian exchange student. Friday, June 30, 2006. Central Australia Part 2: The Olgas and Uluru. Seeing as this was our first real day of visiting things, this was really impressive and I could see how some people think that the Olgas are more impressive than the rock, and for me at this point, I thought it would be hard to top. The links at the end of the post will have photos from the sunset, as well as the rest of the trip.
