Australian Wildlife Study Tours
 After
learning about wildlife at seminars and the like, it is
important to then see how those animals actually live.
Various Australian animals can be seen at zoos, but there is
nothing like seeing animals in the natural habitat to really
understand them. On the AJWCEF Study
Tour we look for Australia's unusual
animals in the natural setting. Of course, it's not always
easy to find them compared to seeing them at a zoo, but to
see them in their own environment is to see them as they
really live. You can also see different animals during the
day and at night. Can you find a koala, a possum, a wallaby?
 On
the Study Tour you will not only meet land animals, but also
those that live in the sea. You might be able to spot
dolphins, turtles, dugongs, and even whales depending on the
season. And bring along your patience - that's what you need
with wild animals. So let's relax and enjoy ourselves on the
vast Aussie beaches as we gaze out upon the incredible blue
of the ocean.
 You
will also visit Queensland government facilities including a
wildlife hospital and wildlife parks and take part in
seminars delivered by university lecturers, wildlife
protection personnel (vets, rangers), qualified animal
carers and local volunteers to learn about the animals. We
will also make site visits to see the effect on the
ecosystem of man-made environmental destruction including
logging, and natural events such as bush fires, etc. You
will also be able to enjoy some down-time in the forest
region in log cabin-style accommodation, watching the
wallabies grazing nearby and gazing at the star-strewn night
sky.
 Various
study tours are arranged for students, the general public,
families, etc., using Brisbane, Queensland as our base. A
diverse range of animals live in the varying climates that
can be found in Queensland and Brisbane provides a safe and
relaxing point from which to journey to find them.
