Life is busy in Australia, but luckily not because of classes (I have just put all my school work off) but because of adventures :)
Orpheus Island- March 26-29th I had a field study class with my coral reef geomorphology class to our uni's research station off the coast of Queensland on an island that only has two things: 1. our research station and 2. the resort all the celebrities go to for like $2000 a night. It was amazing- I was full on expecting shacks in the bush but no- we had nice bunks, showers, a great porch to sit on while drinking our coffee in the morning :) While we were there we were working on doing reef flat surveys- comparing a low-energy leeward reef to a high-energy windward reef. In the afternoons after we got done with our work we were able to go snorkeling- my favorite site was the area with a clam bed with giant clams of the most brilliant iridescent blue you have every seen.
