Queensland, Australia

  Here is a short picture tour of the center. These pictures give you an inside view into our daily lives. Be on the look out for more pictures about the activities that take place at CRS.

Our program does field work everyday. Therefore, our vehicles are always in use. We have two busses and one 4x4 Troop Carrier.
Students do all of the cooking and take turns in groups of four. This is a big shock for some students because they have to prepare meals for 40 people. Disasters sometimes happen but the food is usually excellent. Our classroom is designed to hold about 36 people. It is a bit crowded but functional. When it is raining you can hardly hear the lectures over the noise of rain on the tin roof.


Our computer room houses four Pentium computers and one laser printer. Students come here to type their research paper . When computer usage is high students have access to three staff computers.
