It seems like there are never enough hours in the day! We have been really busy here, between field days collecting animals for our experiments, working in the lab getting things set up to do the experiments, and also some sight-seeing! The computers here also have a lot of protection so getting the pictures up has taken a while.
But- there is a slideshow up, and I hope it works. The pictures are of us collecting our fish and shrimp from areas near Perth like Point Peron, Mangles Bay, and the northshore. Most of the snorkling pictures are from out trip to Rottnest Island. It is a short ferry ride from Fremantle, and we spent one night. A couple professors went with us and were our tourguides. As you can see in the pictures, it's all gorgeous! It's one of the only places where it's cool enough for kelp and warm enough for coral. We saw about 10 different species of seagrass! The small animal that looks like a rat is called a quokka- it's a marsupial and it only lives on Rotto. It is cute except for its rat tail. And it hops which is funny. We've also had a few bbqs- so there's a picture of "shrimp on the barbie!"
The Australians we've met have all been very nice! We are having a great time. Hopefully I'll be able to put up some more pictures soon!
