Reviews
"To indicate the 5 star for the 9/10 rating since perfection doesn't exist, we're not great, and there's always room for improvement on marvellous."
"An absolutely huungus campus. The Communify Compass walking Crew met at the Emmanuel college & searched for the Garden of Knowkledge. We found a park in the middle of many sandstone carved buildings? On the way we crossed a bridge & I could have sworn that these were sculptures but my friend said no, it's head moved. Then suddenly we were surrounded by many hungry turtles & a catfish with beautiful blue Finns. On the other side an EEL made an entrance. As we were leaving a bearded dragon was basking on the wall. We relaxed at the campus cafe. Quite cool as the breeze sweeps right through. The front of the campus is blessed with many purple jaccarandas."
