About Me

My photo
I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)

Vic Bushfires

At work (Downer EDI) we have been told that not only is the company donating a substantial financial contribution, but also helping to rebuild. Employees have been given a rare opportunity to salary sacrifice (where we can contribute any amount of money, and it comes out of our pay before tax and super etc), so you hardly notice it. It's great that they have made it so easy for us to help out. Downer EDI isn't the only one though, I know many other mining companies have contributed large financial donations. It's great to see that even in this economic uncertainty, that many large companies are still generous to such a worthy cause.
