Michelle, who lives on Phillip Island near Melbourne while she works at the Wonthaggi Desalination Project, says she enjoyed escaping the Victorian cold snap while meeting other students.
"It was a great trip and I met so many inspirational students - well worth it! CQUni should really promote this comp next year as it's a great experience and it's all free!" Michelle said.
It's been a big year already for Michelle as she also won a Gladstone Regional Council Natural Disaster Resilience Scholarship, which involves developing social media communication tools to relay information in the event of a natural disaster.
