Our Annual Australian Adventure
NSHSS members gather at Sydney Harbour
This summer, over thirty NSHSS members traveled Down Under with Chairman Claes Nobel for an exciting and rewarding learning adventure. Hosted at Macquarie University in Sydney, the group made life-long friends while meeting koalas and kangaroos and taking in the sites of Sydney−the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, the Australia National Museum. Then members went snorkeling and scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef, discovered the breathtaking beauty of the Kuranda Rainforest and Blue Mountains, and experienced Aboriginal culture. NSHSS member Dean Bunker shares his Aussie adventure below; make plans now to join NSHSS again next summer for a life-changing trip. -MORE-
