Melbourne University
A school that is too serious:
Every September, there is a tradition in Mexico, that is, the Prosh Week Naked Festival! As a world-class institution of higher learning, the University of Melbourne has such a streaking festival, which is boundless!
The Big Streak Festival, for both men and women, is the craziest and sexiest party in Australia and the world, and lasts for a week. The streaking festival is also a very long-standing tradition in Mexican universities, and it continues to be varied today.
Sydney University
Famous Invention School:
All world-famous inventions come from this university in Sydney, which is one of the top universities in Australia, Oceania and even the entire southern hemisphere university. It was founded in 1850.
Alumni include seven Australian prime ministers, including the first prime minister and the current prime minister, which is the most among all universities in Australia; now common WIFI technology, black box, cochlear implant, etc. Both were invented by graduates of the University of Sydney. Don’t you think so!
The University of New South Wales
Secret passage:
There is a secret passage in the school! Legend has it that UNSW at the University of New South Wales has a mysterious underground passage that is only used for emergencies. There are rumors in the world that the entrance to the passage is near the Scientia lawn.
The school also established a team at UNSW, one of the world’s quantum computers, and used silicon-based quantum technology to create quantum logic gates that can be used for calculations. After the invention of WiFi, Bump is leading the world again!
Monash University
Planted Newton’s Apple Tree: Youyou Resource Network
In addition to Cambridge University, Monash University also has apple tree branches, which are said to be Taken from the apple tree that inspired Newton to discover gravity. They were planted in the back garden of the School of Engineering at Monash University in 1975, implying that Newton’s research spirit spread from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere.
University of Queensland
