Bundeena Bush-Bash

Another month, another bushwalk. With upcoming exams, what better way to recharge than a day off wandering the shores of the world's second oldest national park and lazing around on the beach?

On Sunday the 11th of November, we will be catching the train to Cronulla and the ferry from there to Bundeena. From there we will be walking about 5km south to Little Marley Beach, where we will be stopping for a relaxing swim provided the weather is nice. Once we've had enough of that we will be heading back to Bundeena and catching the ferry back to Cronulla. If there is interest and time we might have a look around Cronulla, it's supposed to be a great spot and I've heard you can have a riot of a time there.

When: Sunday 11th November
Meeting Point: Outside Hungry Jacks at the intercity train entrance of Central Station at 9:15am (sorry about the early start!)
What you'll need: Plenty of water, swimwear and towel if you wish to go swimming (nude bathing isn't as accepted in Australia as it is in Germany!), comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, food, camera, money for public transport und bringt das schoene Wetter mit :-)
Difficulty: ~10km return, relatively flat and easy
Duration: ~3 hours walking + beach time + Cronulla visit + travel time (it'll take the whole day)

Franco-German Trivia Battle

History has shown that the Germans and the Frenchies just can't seem to get along and as such, we have challenged FRESS, the UTS French society, to a trivia battle of epic proportions. The winner will hold rights to the claim of the nation of intellectual superiority! The battle will begin at 7:30pm on Thursday 1st November in the Loft at UTS and will be replacing Stammtisch for the week.

FRESS have generously invited us along to share their bar tab for NO COST, so even if we do get humiliated in the trivia, we're sure to have a good time. There will be prizes and all sorts of cool freebies.

In the meantime, be sure to study your German knowledge, I'll be writing the German questions so I won't be allowed to answer them. We don't want the Frenchies beating us at our own game!
