(Australia, Yungaburra) SFS: Marsupials of Australia (Summer Session II)

In this immersive summer program, you’ll explore the landscapes that shaped the evolution of marsupials—from lush rainforests to open savannas—and discover how these animals adapted to extremes of drought, fire, and flood. Observe kangaroos, gliders, wallabies, possums, and bandicoots in their natural habitats, learn about their evolutionary history, and investigate the urgent conservation issues they face today.

You'll take the Marsupials of Australia course, complemented by hikes through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforests of north Queensland; explore open woodlands and tropical savannas where gliders and possums roam; go spotlighting at night to observe rock wallabies, possums, and bandicoots, and gain insight into their behavioural ecology; and meet local wildlife and community conservation leaders working to protect Australia’s mammals.
