Fraser Island

This is my "classroom"

Here is my "bus"

No I'm not kicking him in the head, but instead I successfully jumped over his head

My October Spring Break was completely booked with two school field trips. The first half was spent on the world's largest sand island, Fraser Island.  Fraser is also where you can find the most pure breed of Dingo, where they roam wildly and in many numbers. The days were structured that the first half (until lunch) was spent doing minimal amounts of work. "Work" included playing on dunes, setting spider traps, looking for different types of snakes or measuring and identifying different types of fauna. I know, I lead a tough life. The rest of the day was spent relaxing/swimming in some sort of water hole. The second day we swam at Lake Mackenzie where my Biology professor (Steve) proved to be to coolest teacher I've had yet. Steve, a few classmates and myself were playing volleyball when out of the blue he took off into to lake. Roughly 10 minutes later he emerged out of the lake holding two turtles (one baby turtle about the size of a grapefruit) and another about the size of a basketball - he caught them both with his hands.
