Yes it is. However the quality of the course is dependent on which area you wish to study. People who are studying social sciences seem more satisfied than those studying nursing. I would highly recommend you examine all of the universities and their reputation in regards to your area of interest. I have heard mostly bad things from international students, however I have heard good things about their flexible learning options. www.cqu.edu.au

As is to be expected, the Queensland floods have brought a very wide range of responses.

Grief was the first response. People lost family members, pets, property and their very livelihood. Farmers and business owners, in particular, faced heartbreak of losses that they can never recoup. Flood insurance is very expensive for people who live anywhere near the river or in low areas, so many of these people were not insured. There was nothing for them to do but rebuild from scratch. It was especially hard when people saw others swept away, or went to assist in saving people, and saw young children swept away by the floodwaters. There was a great deal of grief.

Above all, though, Australians are remarkable and resilient people. People helped total strangers evacuate homes and offices. At the RSPCA refuge, people came along as they were being evacuated themselves, and took animals to foster. Although they faced losing everything, they were still willing to give more of themselves. Within the areas of devastation, people who were luckier and avoided floods in their own homes helped fill sandbags, helped organise the sorting and packing of donations, volunteered their time at the evacuation centres or opened their homes to people who needed a place to stay. Again and again, stories surfaced about people who had not escaped unscathed, but who still offered their help to people worse off than themselves. There is an Australian ethos of just getting in and helping neighbours, no matter what, and this really shone through in this difficult time. Naturally, the police and emergency services personnel worked tirelessly.

In each community, once the rivers and floodwaters peaked, people immediately started to rally, looking ahead to the need to clean up. There was no complaining - just people getting in and starting to clean up, because they knew it had to be done. And, as always, there were total strangers getting in and helping clean up. Brisbane dubbed Saturday 15 January as "Salvation Saturday". On this day, thousands and thousands of volunteers turned up at registration centres around the city with any cleaning equipment they had, queuing for long periods of time, awaiting their instructions and ready to be bussed to suburbs where help was needed.

After the floods started to go down, various authorities started looking for someone to blame. An inquiry was initiated into whether more water from Wivenhoe Dam should have been released earlier; questions were asked as to why the authorities did not heed warnings from people with local knowledge who believed a flood was inevitable.

The Great Barrier Reef itself is an example of mutualism. The corals which create coral reefs such as the Great Barrier Reef have a symbiotic relationship with algae known as zooxanthellae. This algae, which lives within the tissues of the coral, causes a photosynthetic reaction which enables the polyps to make skeletons about three times faster in the light than in the dark. This means the corals deposit skeletons faster than the environment can remove it, and these skeletons build upon each other over time, creating a coral reef.

Queensland is famous for a range of things.

Because of its tropical climate there are many tropical fruits like mango, banana, pineapple, pawpaw etc grown there. It is also ideal sugar-cane country.

When people think of Queensland they mainly associate it with great beaches, great surf, great tans, and adventure parks.

Australia does not have Disney land, but there is a range of parks with rides and attractions and many are in Queensland on the Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast. They include SeaWorld, Movie World, Wet 'n' Wild, Dreamworld, Underwater World, Australia Zoo, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Queensland is one of just three states where opals are found, and there are many other precious stones found in central Queensland.

Queensland is famous for being where the Royal Flying Doctor Service started, and for where the School of the Air began. It is also the home of the Stockman's Hall of Fame, at Longreach, and also the home of QANTAS, Australia's national airline. The outback town of Winton celebrates the fact that Banjo Pateson's "Waltzing Matilda" was first performed there.

Straight from the MVD Manual of California:

== == You must practice with a parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license. The person must be close enough to take control of the vehicle at any time. A provisional permit does not let you drive alone-not even to a DMV office to take a driving test. If you have an M1 or M2 permit, you cannot carry passengers, you must ride during daylight hours only, and you cannot ride on the freeway.

The legal age in Queensland depends entirely upon which activity you wish to undertake.

The first European settlement on the Gold Coast occurred in 1828, when Captain Logan established a military post at Point Danger because of convicts escaping from Moreton Bay, although the post closed within a year.
