G'day mates!
Duggan here from Australia.
Today we got back to Reef H.Q. We went and we analyzed the data we collected yesterday. After we were done we walked to the mall and bought stuff... lots of stuff. All the boys went in one group and allmost all the girls went in one group. Some people bought shoes and some shirts. We, the boys, stopped at a supermarket and it was awesome!
Well that's about all for today.

The Reef

G'day mates!
Duggan here from Australia.
Yesterday we went snorkiling in the Great Barrier Reef and it was awsome! First we started the day by getting up at 4 A.M! Then we took a boat out to Orphius Island. Once we got on the island we hung around and waited for the second group on the boat to get there. We saw, while we were waiting, baby Black Tip Reef Sharks and Baby Leopard Sharks. We got like 1 Meter away from them! Once they got there we went and had a saftey talk about the reef, island and other first aid and sanitary stuff. Then we tramped off to morning tea and had hot coco and some people had fruit. After our wet suits were all on after tea we headed off to the reef. It was an amazing sight! Seeing all the fish and coral swimming around we had to watch a fish for five minutes and we didn't get any data- well me and my partner didn't. Because we would find a fish and look at it and follow it for about five seconds and then it would swim away. Well that's my story today Duggan signing out!

A Day at the Aquarium

Hi Duggan here from Australia! Yesterday we got at an aqairium and went and got tours and speeches about the reef. First when we got there. We had a talk about stuff about the reef. e of my head and out the other. After we did an activity about the talk that I thought was kinda and fun at the same time. Then we had morning tea where we had juice fruit and cookies! It was realy good. It was realy basicly like that the whole day. But in between we did some realy fun things like explaning how they balance all their ships, tourists, fishers and all that other suff out. Then at the end of the day we all went to bed but every was talking. And when people would check on us we would all pretend to be asleep. Of course I was really asleep. Zooxanthellae sounds like frozen jelly is tiny algea or sea weed that lives in the coral. Well that's about all from me Duggan signing out!

A scalt day

Today we went on a flight to Cairns. After we got off the plane we went to a croc farm where we say more than just crocks. We saw wombats, snakes, and a koala! I was called up to stick both of my hands in a paint bucket which had something in it. So I stuck my hands in and felt a scaly thing immediately I knew it was a snake. When I opened my eyes and pulled it out fully, it was a huge python. I carried it around in the audience. The girls were the most scared.
The next animal was my second favorite, the snake was my first. It was a koala! The guy brought it in the audience. I got to pet it and we took some pictures with it! After that we went to dinner. We had steak, lasagna and other regular stuff. Well that’s about all - Duggan signing out!
