Exchange to Kings School 2016

Connor Mulloy, Jake Evans, Jack Hayles, and I traveled for a total of thirty hours to reach Sydney, Australia. Once when we arrived, the jet lag was severe. We learned about our extreme jet lag when we attended the Super Bowl of Australian rugby, The State of Origin. We supported our home state, New South Wales Blues, against the Queenslands Maroons. Our experience was enhanced because we were able to play this game on one of the King's School's teams. All four of us were lucky enough to score a try for our team in a big victory over a cross town rival. Jake and Connor separated from Jack and I as they went to their host's farms, hunted kangaroos, and attended an annual horse race at Mallawa.

Jack and I however enjoyed our weekend by going to Noosa Islands in Queensland. Jack and I surfed and jet skied the biggest waves we've ever seen. As our trip came to an end, the four of us spent time downtown visiting the landmarks and enjoying the light show on the side of the Sydney Opera House, called Vivid.

Although the plane's entertainment system was broken on the way home which created a very long and boring plane ride, this trip was an incredible once in a lifetime experience that none of us will ever forget. Many thanks to MBA and the Warner Family for the unforgettable opportunity.
