I got to experience the staff Christmas party

Good program administration. From pre-departure advising, orientation, and support services, IGS covered everything smoothly. Dr. Adams guided me every step of the way. She even assured my mom as to my own safety and updated her almost every day. As to the internship program itself, the staff at the park are very friendly and accommodating to me. I had beers with them and even attended their Christmas party! Glad to be part of the team. And I look forward to coming back.

Future crocodile scientist

I am a fan of crocodiles ever since I was a kid, founding them very interesting. With this I aspire to be a crocodile scientist someday. I remember drawing crocodiles on our schoolboards using chalks, and being scolded by teachers for it. This internship made me realize that I can do it. Animal science/marine science has a lot to offer. It's a chance to mix profession and passion. I loved every single moment of it.

Thank you, IGS, for our friendships' bonding!

Thank you, IGS, for the great summer I had. Definitely one for the books. We did a lot of hiking tours. We have seen diff bird, woodlands, and reptiles exhibits. I didn't know this side of Australia and I am happy to discover it. For our internship, I joined with my friends, and we had lots of fun. We fed the animals and we were taught how to bathe them, and care for them. Aside from the learnings, what I am most grateful for is the bonding we had - me and my friends. We are all into wildlife and animal stuff, so we are glad to have this internship.

The Park educates visitors on the disposition of the crocodile and its behavioral characteristics. They also celebrate the diversity of northern Australia’s biota—home to tropical bird exhibits, reptiles, indigenous insect exhibits, and tropical woodlands. Featuring crocodiles and other North Queensland wildlife, this park is one of the largest of its kind. Education is an important part of the Park's mission, with crocodile numbers in decline due to climate change and human degradation of habitats. An extensive boardwalk system provides ample opportunities for visitors to explore the park and diverse habitats on foot, while a nearby lagoon features boat rides and an opportunity to see the park on the waters. The scenic river provides a glimpse into some of the native flora and fauna fo...
