濒危的澳大利亚:野生动物和文化

2024年7月25日- 8月7日

$3,865 per person double occupancy, $4,575 for single occupancy

If you love the outdoors, wildlife, and adventure - this is the trip for you. This cultural-immersion trip ‘down-under’ focuses on wildlife conservation and Aboriginal culture in some of the best places 澳大利亚 has to offer! Join us on a ‘off-the-beaten-path’ expedition that includes hands-on activities with native 澳大利亚n wildlife conservation groups, 土著文化体验, and ample time to explore this amazing country on your own. This is an experience designed for individuals of all ages and abilities.

Our journey begins in the ecologically and culturally diverse state of New South Wales. A two-day volunteering experience at the 澳大利亚徒步野生动物园, a unique animal sanctuary that combines wildlife conservation with Aboriginal traditions will highlight the tour of this region. We will also experience a Dreamwalk with Djiribi Waagura Aboriginal elders in the Shoalhaven and explore the white sand beaches of Jervis Bay during this part of the trip. The second half of our adventure brings us to the city of Cairns, known as “the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef” in tropical north Queensland. A full-day will be spent on the Great Barrier Reef with marine biologists and Aboriginal Rangers to provide us with a unique education on the status of one of the worlds’ quickly diminishing natural wonders. Our journey will conclude with two days on the tropical, 雨林覆盖的菲茨罗伊岛国家公园. This pristine island sits on the outer boundary of the Great Barrier Reef and will provide ample opportunity to experience wildlife and activities both in and out of the water.

The course fee for this trip will cover all standard (double occupancy) lodging, 地面运输, 渡轮, 从悉尼到凯恩斯的往返航班, 在大堡礁进行全天潜水, 与吉里比瓦古拉原住民领袖一起梦游, 哈特利鳄鱼农场入口, 在菲茨罗伊岛上的潜水装备, a 2-day 2-night all inclusive stay at the 澳大利亚n Walkabout Park, 还有四次聚餐.

认识一下你们的教授:德里克·马克斯

I have been a faculty member in the Kinesiology Department at Saint Mary’s since 2006. My wildlife and ecological conservation background are rooted in over 30 years of volunteer work and about 15 years of leading group travel adventures that provide the opportunity to explore and gain an appreciation of our role in helping preserve and appreciate the natural resources we have in our own backyard and abroad.

My original interest in 澳大利亚n wildlife conservation and indigenous culture developed while I lived there between 2013 and 2016. 从那时起, I have brought six Saint Mary’s 1月Term courses and one 校友 group there in order to share and further develop an appreciation for this unique land, 那里的野生动物, 和文化. I am always humbled and honored to be welcomed to 澳大利亚 and work with the incredible people and animals that we encounter. I am also ecstatic about being able to share this special place and experience with the SMC community.
