| Planting trees.... such hard work... |

| Little fella proud of himself for handling a croc... while croc obviously doesn't seem to be enjoying it himself |

Me and couple of other guys lead by a "mature" team leader drove to this place near Ayr and dug more than a thousand holes. The next day, a bunch of locals (mostly little kids) came and planted trees in them. It was really refreshing to see so many juveniles of our species showing such enthusiasm to save the planet! aaah! The future isn't so hopeless after all. Even though they were given incentives (such as free barbeque, hands on wildlife, free caps, books, water bottles and other random stuff), I cannot help but feel happy to see all of them work hard in the summer heat of Queensland.
This morning I am going to Cardwell to do a bit of monitoring on mahogany gliders and plant some trees.
