International Students Explore Culture, Marine Life, and Nature in Cairns

Our Education Queensland International Study Abroad students from Redlynch State College recently enjoyed a fantastic excursion into the heart of Cairns City, exploring some of the region’s cultural and natural highlights.

The day began at the Cairns Regional Gallery, where students were captivated by the War Quilts exhibition—an extraordinary collection of quilts crafted by military personnel over the past 300 years. These powerful works, stitched together from army and navy uniforms, offered a unique insight into history, resilience, and creativity.

Next, students visited the Cairns Aquarium, immersing themselves in the fascinating world of river and ocean creatures native to our region. A special highlight was the Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, where students experienced the unforgettable opportunity to get up close with sea turtles, learning about their rescue and recovery.

The excursion wrapped up with a relaxing stroll along the Cairns Esplanade, spotting seabirds and enjoying a well-earned milkshake while soaking in the beautiful views.

It was a wonderful day of learning, exploration, and connection—showcasing the rich culture and natural beauty of Cairns while creating lasting memories for our international students.

Thank you to Mr Bertram for his time and efforts making this excursion a memorable experience for the students.
