Nocturnal Wildlife Walkabout
Hi! This is Olga, and I’m here to update on our night walk adventures! We saw lots of nocturnal animals that are adapted to see well in the dark. Through our walk we encountered lots of wallabies and spiders crawling on the ground. We also saw some other native Australian wildlife, including a betong, bush-tailed possums, micro-bats, and a glider! It was an awesome experience because it was so surprising how many animals you can see just by flashing a light into the darkness!A Look at the Stars
This is Noah checking in!
Tonight, after dinner, we set out on a magnificent night walk. On the walk we saw some amazing creatures, both on the ground and in the trees. Eventually we walked into a huge open field and that’s where we had the most beautiful view of all. As we looked up into the sky we were able to have a great look at the southern sky. Here’s a list of a couple of the things we were able to see: the Milky Way, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and countless constellations – including Scorpius, Sagittarius, Centaurs, and The Southern Cross. With absolutely no light pollution, it was for sure the most magnificent sky I have ever seen.
