Ok, we are fully kicked in now in week 4. I spent the whole week staying late at the office every day, and continuing to work on my case studies when I got home. There is a lot of information to get through, but the case studies are finally starting to take shape so it’s exciting to see that faint blip of light at the end of a very long tunnel.
At the end of the week, I started getting into Queensland specifically, and they are such an amazing example of sustainable planning and development. There are 5 separate master plans, just that I’ve looked at with others I haven’t gotten into, all containing at least 20 initiatives with real goals for improvements by 2020, 2030 or 2050 depending on the initiative. Globally, Queensland is only responsible for 1.4% of GHG emissions, so it’s great to see them being so active towards finding a solution.
The weekend was great. I made best friends with two sea turtles on saturday, and sunday we got to see a large portion of the East Coast of the island for the first time, and I got some great photography time in.
Week 5 should be even more intense, and I’m not sure I’m ready for week 6 but we’ll get there.
