bye Bill (after us 5 students and Boyd the other field officer, left the island, Bill had the island to himself for a couple days)

Claire and I were really tired one day so she sat on a rock and threw the little lamandras to me...lazy lamandra misile launching...

just over 9000 planted in 5days


the crew

...then we ate

Bill caught a Drummer....

I crepped up to my friend the seal while seal friend was sleeping, seal friend was really happy that I interupted the warm sun baking session so seal friend showed me the appreciation


there was only one beach on the island and if you slipped and fell off any other points you might not have ever made it back to the surface because of the surf and steep slippery rock walls....beautiful photo huh

they spend all there day in the ocean, up to weeks without coming back to the burrow apparently. and they keep the same partner throughout life...


this is a burrow that the peguins make to get their boogy on with their mate in its natural form, underneith some bush, grass or shrub, but they were loosing there natural habitat on lamandras, banksias, ukalip, and others, to the non native kikui grass brought from south africa becuase it is good for cattle graseing, but to think and low to the ground for the worlds smallest peguins.

coolin off with some tea and musicafter day 4

lamandra, lamandra, lamandra

this is the light house and the building we lived in for a week.

look at this nerd! I havn't worn this form of life jacket before and you should of seen me trying to put it on...

after a six hour drive from Albury to Narooma, we hopped on a boat and headed to Montague island for some tree planting sponsered by the National Parks service. I didn't pay $1 in 6 days...these photos are leaving the main land on the NPWS boat.

The way the finals were judged was really interesting, a jam session but you had to nominate two jumps at any time to be judged, on my first nominated jump I did a switch zero method air (switch straight air), went HUUUGE and crashed so the rest of the time I just sessioned the jump and finished the night off with some new tricks I'd never tried before that day. After the comp there was all kinds of music and this particular guy had a computer with him that he would record and loop the hand drum, symble, harmonica, piano, and other instruments individually then play it all back in one song and sing and play guitar over the beat he was looping.... really cool. the other photo is a moment of clarity.

it was snowing hard during the finals, these photos were taken about 20 seconds apart, one with the flash and one with out.
