Girraween

Our first field trip was to Girraween National Park. If I look bundled up in the photos, it's because it was bloody freezing!

Me and my tent buddy Rae


Wearing my super cool University of Queensland hat, hehe.
Bushwalking

Doing some field work with Rosa (sampling some invertebrates from the river.)

A crayfish, aka "yabby" as the aussies call them, that we caught in one of the traps.

Climbing up a granite inselberg called The Pyramid (shout out to my geo homies Emily and Robin!)



This is the steepness of the incline!

Baby kangaroo legs sticking out of the pouch.
The baby kangaroo poked his head out and started to munch on some grass.
The kangaroos grazing around the campsite.
We climbed up another inselberg called Castle Rock.



 Some wildflowers (the purple ones are a pea plant)
A rock formation called The Sphinx

More yabby trapping
