We have just left Joala National Park and Curtis Falls - a beautiful example of a rainforest environment right on our doorstep. We really noticed the difference in temperature when we entered the micro climate of the rainforest - welcome relief after the high humidity of the wetlands. We are now on our way back to school.
For all things happening in Mr Cooper's Year 8 and 9 English and SOSE classes at Coomera Anglican College on the Gold Coast, Australia.

Wetland Wonderland
We have just left Phil Hill Environmental Park on Jabiru Island - a wonderful example of a mangrove wetland area right in the heart of Hope Island and Paradise Point.



Coastal Landforms
We have just left the Southport Spit where we had the opportunity to learn all about the vegetation that is vital to the health of the dune system. We also had the opportunity to plant some Beachbean and Pig Face - two plants that do a great job of holding our dunes together. We are now on our way to explore the wetlands on Jabiru Island.
Year 8 Excursion
We all made it onto the bus and we are now on our way to the Southport Spit. The weather looks great and it promises to be a fantastic day! More posts to come as the day progresses.
