State Forest

But one day I took up a chance to get out of the city of Gold Coast. I went for fieldworks in Karawatha State Forest. Together with Naomi, Subhashni and Christina we ve been collecting data on DBH - diameter at breast hight of about 300 trees around there:

It was the part of the programme of data collecting called shortly "ppbio" =

The Program for Planned Biodiversity Studies in Australasia is an ecological initiative to facilitate long-term regional biodiversity monitoring and condition assessment. It is a program designed for ecological research and data collection. It provides a new model for biodiversity research, monitoring and assessment that can be replicated throughout Australasia, providing an innovative foundation for enhancing environmental management and monitoring the impacts climate change in the future (http://www.griffith.edu.au/environment-planning/centre-innovative-conservation-strategies/projects/program-for-planned-biodiversity-studies-australasia).

Thanks Gold People! It was good time. I brought Christina of course back to home : )

Igatsus

= missing/craving. Today I won't write a lot because I am still ill and in addition I went through stressful and very long IELTS test. Let us listen together a guy who created a band in Estonia called Sun and this song used to accompany me almost everyday thanks to "SkyPlus" radio playing loudly in my ex-workplace in "Green Fairy" Greenhouse in Tartu: Refrain goes like this: Igatsus pole süüdi Do not blame craving Igatsus teeb head Craving does good Igatsus annab teada Craving lets you know Armastus meist inimesed teeb Love is what makes humans out of us I dont have to miss my Estonia anymore. I followed my Estonia to Australia : )
