Hi everyone! It's been a while, but I am still alive and well, having luckily avoided running into any especially poisonous insects or animals while down in Australia. Uni was not too hard so I got to explore a lot and have loads of beautiful photos to share!
 |
| Starting from the very beginning, I went up to visit Maggie in Falls Creek where she was working |
 |
| Travelled halfway across the world but Williamstown was still only a train ride away (photo creds to Maggie who also came to visit me in Melbourne) |
 |
| I got to race in two skimarathons, at Falls Creek and then Snow Farm in NZ, and had some great company including my best friend Sophia, my parents and Jessie Diggins. |
 |
| Making new friends was an important part of my study abroad experience |

Road Trip #1: Grampians National Park
 |
| One of several failed attempts to capture both ourselves and the view using a selfie timer |
 |
| Many cool rocks! This one I almost got stuck in. |
Road trip #2: Wilson's Prom, the southernmost point of Australia
 |
| A double rainbow! |
 |
| Mt Oberon Summit, again by selfie timer (the views are supposed to be incredible, but all we saw were clouds) |
 |
| SO MANY KANGAROOS |
 |
| Emus! And my friend Sarah. |
I got up close and personal with some of the wildlife, including this hungry and very stubborn wombat
Road Trip #3: Tasmania
 |
| Home for the week: our very ancient rental car and bargain tent from Aussie Disposals |
 |
| Sarah and me making progress in our selfie timer skills, mid run on the Cape Huay track |
 |
| Wineglass Bay - maybe one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen |
 |
| Cradle Mountain from Dove Lake |
 |
| Where's Wally? the Find Isabel on Cradle Mountain version |
 |
| Made it to the summit after accidentally climbing the wrong peak first |
Road trip#4: Great Ocean Road, 280km from Warrnambool to Geelong by bike
 |
| The Grotto |
 |
| London Bridge |
 |
| A few of the 12 Apostles |
 |
| My bike relaxing at the beach after a couple hundred hard-earned kilometres |
I left the Australian summer before it got too hot and am now happily home in Davos and enjoying some fresh powder! The world cup races are in Davos this weekend so I've been spending lots of time on snow trying to look cool in front of all the very fast skiers out training. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Quebec very soon :)
