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 :)

Assessment

This week is a shocker week for assessment, but I still managed time to watch a tower crane getting assembled on the weekend. It was great, I wish I had my camera. A small yard crane was used to assemble the main boom in the street (which had been closed off to vehicles, but not pedestrians), then a 220t mobile crane lifted the boom into place to fit onto the actual tower. In case you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, this is a tower crane (you will see them all around the city).


I know it's nerdy, but I enjoyed watching and learning how the cranes get put together.
