Description:
| The program will be based at the University of New South Wales for three of the seven weeks. The first two weeks of the program will be in Darwin, in Australia’s tropical north. Teaching will begin here and students also embark on a three-day camping safari into Kakadu National Park. Kakadu is home to an amazing array of wildlife and historic Aboriginal Art. Students will boat on crocodile infested rivers and swim in spectacular waterfalls. The rugby training will also begin in Darwin. The highlight of this segment is the game played against a local team which will be the “curtain raiser” to the Australia versus New Zealand Legends match which in the past has drawn crowds of over 2,000 spectators.
At the end of week two, the program embarks on a tour through the heart of Australia to Alice Springs where students take classes and spend two days at Uluru National Park viewing and exploring Australia’s most recognizable geographical symbol - Ayers Rock, and the red desert surrounds.
Weeks four through six are in Sydney with academic classes and rugby training taking place at the University of New South Wales campus in Kensington. Trial games will be played against local teams on weekends. Week seven is a rugby tour up the east coast of Australia playing university teams along the way stopping in Newcastle, Armidale and Brisbane. From Brisbane, students fly to Cairns (Great Barrier Reef) for the conclusion of Summer School. | |
