Shenanigans in the Rainforest

Wildlife Biology is turning into a pretty fun class...so far we have had a three day weekend field trip to Woody Head, cancelled class, one class lecture that got out 2 hours early, and today's class was a field trip to the Border Rangers and Nimbin! Not to mention...next week is our final class and all we have to do is a presentation :) Loving my Aussie classes!

On the way to the Border Rangers today we stopped off in Nimbin for some lunch...were warned...yet again to stay away from the cookies. As usual...some didn't listen and turned the actual field trip into quite the adventure. Here are some pictures of Nimbin...sorry about all the quote pictures but you all know that I love quotes :)

This was the ceiling at the Nimbin Museum!


After that we headed to the Border Rangers National Park for some bird watching, hiking, and amazing views! It was a pretty enjoyable day spend in the gorgeous rain forest and searching for wildlife.

Our first hike of the day

The Trail

This was a shocking tree...literally-it shocks you if you touch it and we were told it hurts really bad...no one tried

Lookout point...in the back ground you can see Mt. Warning!!! ah yeah...I hiked that! :)


Lookout number 2

The trail...the lookout was very cloudy so I didn't get a good picture

Final hike of the day

Lots of wildlife along the way!

We even got to see a waterfall...I Love Rain forests!!!!!
