04.09.08 Final day!

Day schedule:
7:00 – 8:00 Breakfast
8:00 – 9:30 Presentations
9:30 – 11:00 preparing for departure
11:00 departure, end of the field trip

Weather: very windy (20 knots), pooring down rain!

Details: After two weeks of beautiful weather in the Australian winter, this day started with a lot of rain, which held on until 17:00.

After the last breakfast at the Lady Elliott Island Eco Resort the group met for a last time in the lecture room to hold their talks at 8:00. One and a half hours later and surely a lot of mistakes later, the work has been done and the fieldtrip was nearly finished.
The group members took their bags and at 11:00 the last members left the island. At 12:15, the group gathered for the last time at Hervey Bay airport to say good-bye, and then dispersed in all directions and the field trip was over.
(However, some people later got together in a bar in Hervey Bay for food and drinks to celebrate the fantastic two weeks...)

Thanks to everyone, it has been a fantastic time for all of us!!

And a big thanks to Dr. William Loh for the perfect organisation!
