BSCI Down Under 2026

Today we had some more time to work on thesis this morning. This was a good opportunity for me to work through my mechanical mode, which has been giving me some trouble. In the afternoon, we took a trip to the Victorian Parliament. It was an absolutely incredible building. It was built in the 1850s during the Victorian gold rush, so it had some amazing architecture, with real gold accents. It was also really cool to learn more about how a parliamentary government system works. Although it is similar to the American government, there are major differences when it comes to the actual function of the government. Once we left the Parliament building, we had a couple of hours before dinner, so we walked around Melbourne and visited the AC/DC memorial. For dinner, we went to a really cool Greek restaurant. Melbourne is a super cool city, with some extremely interesting architecture, both historic and modern.
