teachers and guides. Classroom activities will include reef
talks, workshops and readings. Field activities will include
guided nature walks and snorkeling or scuba diving excursions
led by trained naturalists and guides. Snorkel and scuba dive
off beautiful Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef Marine
Park. Monitor the health of coral reefs and survey the invertebrates
and fishes of the GBR. Explore the mangrove and Eucalypt forests
of Stradbroke Island and observe native birds and other Australian
wildlife. Learn about Aboriginal natural arts from members
of the Dunwich Indigenous Community. Observe unique Australian
animals at the Erwin family’s Australia Zoo in Beerwah. |
