Roadtrip '07

During the winter holidays, me & 6 friends decided to go on a roadtrip to central Queensland. Myself & another mate were originally from Moranbah & Dysart respectively, 2 towns in the Central Queensland coal basin. So we decided we would make them our final destination. Our first night was spent at one of my mates farms in Gayndah, the second in Rockhampton at another farm, the third in Dysart/Moranbah, the fourth in Injune, an hour north of Roma, and our final night was at a farm in Chinchilla, 3 hours west of Brisbane. Overall, it was one of the best experiences of my life, and we already have another two planned for next year;) here are some of the photos from the trip:)

More About Me

A little bit about myself: I was born in 1989, and spent the first few years of my youth growing up in Moranbah, a coal mining town in central Queensland, before moving to Brisbane and finishing up to grade 4 at Ferny Grove State school. For grades 5 to 7 I moved back to Moranbah, this time sparking my interest in the mining industry. A short while into grade 8 I again moved back to Brisbane, and finished my high schooling at Anglican Church Grammar School at East Brisbane.

Career Aspirations: To work with a successful company and be able to enjoy my job, and well, who can forget a really good paypacket.

Career/Uni degree description: Currently working casual shifts at a newsagent in Ferny Grove. Whilst undertaking a degree in Chemical & Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Queensland.
