Have any of you ever been to the Olypmic Park Bicentennial Park Field Studies Centre?

DAMN it looks likes it gonna be raining this wednesday, how the hell are we meant to take notes when its raining?

 

[Undermyskin]

There are some places in there where you can sit and take notes conveniently! Don't worry about how you can take notes, worry about how you can go around and do experiments!

I remember we had to measure light intensity, noise, pH, turbidity, humidity, etc. Then you need to observe and find any examples of certain relationships between animals there like alleopathy or commensalism, etc. I was told there were foxes there as well. Damn, it's just phony, I suppose.

Anyway, have funs. Be careful with the spiders Golden Orbs and Silver Drops. They are everywhere! Take care of your face. If you're too tall, good luck!

Fuck the spiders man bring aeroguard.

you're gonna get raped by mossies, trust me!

btw the experiments are relatively simple and it should be in groups anyway unless you dont have many ppl doing bio

 

[Twickel]

So errr, we are always on the board right we never are actually on the muddy stuff? Is the board flat?

 

[x.Exhaust.x]

Fuck the spiders man bring aeroguard.

Rofl 20 cans of aeroguard, spray the whole park and centre. WIN.

 

[Twickel]

But errr do you stay on the board the whole time and just follow a set route on the board?

 

[Twickel]

Yep its raining this Wednesday. PLEASE STAY ON BOARDS ONLY PLEASE DONT GET OFF THE BOARD AND GET DIRTY. NOTHING SLIPERY I HOPE.

 

[Undermyskin]

You say as if you are about to go camping in Amazon or something. lolz. Don't be too stressed out or worry unduly. Everything will be just fine. Anyway, when are supposed to do the random quadrat thingo, make sure you don't throw the square too far. I had to really get off the board to get one! Yuck!

 

[Twickel]

Phew so we stay on the board the whole time, alot of groupwork involved?

 

[Undermyskin]

You have to stick with your group all the time!

 

[Twickel]

Thanks
Do you ever actually walk on/through the muddy stuff?

 

[Undermyskin]

Good question to sustain the gossip. Well, a few times I suppose. Like playing in the sand playground after a heavy rain or running on the fields in the countryside (for growing water rices) or the most recent time was when I went camping in some recreation centre about 1 hour away from Sydney. We had to drag our boats out of the muds and you know how muddy the damp rive banks are! I didn't lose my shoes but my friends lost like two pairs in two days. lolz.

 

[Twickel]

Lol. Im talking about the mangrove place tomorrow.

 

[Undermyskin]

Sorry...Then maybe. We have to estimate the heights of the tree to estimate some sort of cross section or st in which you have to draw a graph representing the distribution of certain types of plants. Since it's raining tomorrow, the site can get very very muddy and nasty. Good luck!

 

[Twickel]

So errrr I guess im gonna get really muddy and make myself look like an ass, because I have crap balance, its pretty even thoguh justt think mud right and when we do get off the board are there steps that take you down or do you just jump down.
