Experience the wonderful world of “down under” on the CCSA Australian Biology Program and help to preserve habitat for one of its most unusual species: the koala. On this smallest, most temperate of continents, where flora and fauna are both diverse and unique, and native Aboriginal culture blends European with Asian, participants can explore the richness of a world apart. Join CCSA and snorkel World Heritage reefs, trek through rain forests near tropical Cairns, discover the museums, gardens and parks around metropolitan Melbourne, Australia’s second latest city and home to some of the continent’s largest communities of penguins, seals, kangaroos and koalas, among whom participants will participate in a conservation service project.
