G’Day Stags: Bobbi’s Adventures Down Under

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

The Victoria Bridge is one of the 15 major bridges in Brisbane, Australia. Pedestrians, cyclists, and cars are all welcome to cross it and the views of the beautiful buildings along the Brisbane River are amazing!

Native aboriginals were selling these boomerangs on the street corners of Sydney. The colors and detail are amazing!

Surfing is in almost every Aussies blood. I took this photo in New South Whales as I was walking along the beach. From right to left are a father, son and daughter, all of which have been surfing their entire lives!

Brisbane Lions are the cities AFL (Australian Football League) team! The rules are very different from ours but tickets are fairly cheap and the crowd was so fun to be around!

The kangaroo is Australia’s national animal and although they eat them there are also tons of petting zoos where you can get as close as I am! We kissed on the first date.
