Australia Summary


My trip to Australia is not too far off! To summarize the class, we got to hear first-hand from fellow K-Staters about their life in Australia over the past year. Of course we got to learn about the history of how Australia was mainly founded by convicts, and also geography, Australia’s population is typically around the coasts and the Great Barrier Reef. Furthermore, we discovered more about the government, economics, and culture of the country. From this point, we shifted to an agriculture focus. To round out the class, crops, cattle, and sheep topics were presented and discussed in detail. As the semester comes to a close and my college career comes to an end, I’m definitely looking forward to the adventure that awaits me in Australia. It was great to get to know my classmates better at our last class meeting that we had on Tuesday and what I’m most excited about besides the cattle operations that we get the opportunity to see is the Great Barrier Reef. Below is a link that gives good facts about Australian agriculture as well as some pictures. Enjoy!


When I think of Australia, this image comes to mind:

This is a picture of a cattle drive. Much different from one here in the United States.
