"The highlight for me is just being here in Australia and we have done so much here and it's been special rescuing animals," Aurea said. "getting to interact with the animals and the marine team".

Down to earth, genuine and caring – just three of the words used to describe Aurea. Hailing from Southern Ireland and a close family, Aurea is keen to get stuck into the Blue Zoo chores as soon as she arrives at Coffs Harbour. With a sunny personality and a modest approach Aurea can be a sensitive character and misses her folks back home immensely. But when the going gets tough our Aurea gets going and she’s ever ready to give any new challenges a try.

Aurea is a 15-year-old girl from Mayo, Ireland. She is passionate about marine animals, the sea and the great outdoors, she has gained her love of the ocean wilderness from her father who is a keen surfer and kite-surfer and spent most of her childhood wandering the sand dunes immersing herself in ocean adventures. Aurea is a care free spirit, loyal, loving and forever laughing, hopefully someday she will gain a career in ocean studies.
