What a wonderful way to start a working week - exclaimed everyone as the ferry took off.

CQU Sydney International Graduate Campus' Client Services organised a harbour cruise to help orientate our new students to Sydney.

A glorious Monday morning greeted a group of Sydney International Graduate Campus students and staff with a refreshing yet somewhat chilly breeze.

"We are now passing under the Harbour Bridge, the construction of which took 16 lives - some of the workers fell off ..." announced the speaker cheerfully.

We soon arrived at Circular Quay to take on some more passengers and continue our cruise.

The speaker announced exciting details about each point of interest, enticing the public to walk from one side of the boat to the other.

"Gosh, this ferry is faaaaa....st," - the rough sea did not allow a participant to finish her sentence.
