Australia!

I am between trips right now and HAD to post this group photo of our Biology Field Trip class in the Blue Mountains of southeast Australia. We are standing (well, Dr. Scholes is lying) before a vast eucalyptus forest, and it is the volatility of the oils in the leaves of these trees that give the mountains their blue appearance. The mountains are just outside Sydney, where we spent four days before heading to Cairns and then Fiji. More pictures to come of these latter two exotic destinations!
