I haven't been to that many university campuses in my time, but UQ St. Lucia is definitely one of the nicest. Similar to UBC, it's on a peninsula, but here the surrounding water is the Brisbane River rather than the ocean. There are a whole pile of random animals that live on the campus, from ducks and swans to tiny parrots to 3 foot long water lizards to my personal favourite, the brush turkeys.
