Day 131 Visting the University and the Botannical Gardens

Today was my family's day to check out where I lived and see the city of Wollongong. They were also priviledged to see my university and the Botannical Gardens.
First I showed them the university where I studied.  This is the McKinley Building where I had a lecture.
The University is littered with small ponds, streams, and trees that are integrated with the buildings.  It has a beautiful lay out to it.  That ladies and gentlemen is an eel in one of the ponds on campus.  Apparently it was 4 feet long.
This was in the Hope Theater building where I had two lectures.  We all sat where we would in a college lecture class except for Nat who was making fun of John for sitting in the very front of all his classes.  Therefore I don't know where Natalie sits.  I do know that Kate and I sit in similar spots in college lectures. As for Nick....it's hard enough keeping him awake in any class.

I don't know the scientific name of this flower, but take a look at it.  Do you see the bird in flight? 
I just thought it was a cute picture of my Mom and Dad standing on a traditional Japanese bridge.
The whole family minus me sitting in front of the entrance to the University.
Just another picture of a plant in the gardens that was colorful.
Everybody in my family including Ally before she left got to meet Trent the Trenchtown Possum.  My cousin spotted him on a couch and of course we had to feed him.  Where I lived was called Trenchtown because it was not as nice as the other dormitories but hey I grew to love it.
