So Its been a while but I've been having lots of fun...
To update you:
Week One Aug 25-27 school everyday
Week Two approx. Aug 28- Sept. 4 Field Trip #1 Stradbroke Island
consisted of 3 days of Terrestrial Ecology, 3 days of Marine Ecology and 1 day of Australian Culture.
We hit up the beach, talked to Aboriginals and I got some really nice infected warrior wounds...I like to go with the story that I was attacked by a koala, but really I scratched a mosquito bite too hard and backed up onto some razor clams lol.
PART 1 Terrestrial Ecology:
This place is called the Sand Blow...well, for obvious reasons. Lots of sand!! For reference, that little dot on the right of the other two dots is my professor!
Mangrove Tree!
