Or South Queensland, Australia! ...

Known as the Sunshine State, Queensland is home to lush green rainforests, golden beaches, the remote bush, and the spectacular marine diversity of the Great Barrier Reef. We’ll begin our program in the beautiful city of Brisbane, then venture off to iconic Australian ecosystems. South Queensland has a wonderful temperate climate throughout the year with plenty of sunshine, and expected program daytime temperatures typically in the 70's.

Because of the continent's great age, extremely variable weather patterns, and long-term geographic isolation, much of Australia's biota is unique and diverse. About 85% of flowering plants, 84% of mammals, more than 45% of birds, and 89% of in-shore, temperate-zone fish are endemic. Australia has the greatest number of reptiles of any country with 755 species. Apply here.
