Hong Kong Students Visit the DRO

Recently some 45 high school students from Hong Kong paid a visit to the Daintree Rainforest Observatory of James Cook University. It was part of a lengthy visit to northern Queensland. Considering that they had probably never been so close to nature, they were quite interested in what biologists do and how they do it. They had a go with insect collecting and recognising the various insect groups. A night walk was greeted with enthusiasm and no one exhibited any sort of fear. AND curiously, being without their social networks by phone did not seem to worry them.
