Today, Sunday 22 March 2009, is World Water Day. Happening concurrently is March Monitoring Month and Koura Kraze.
Here are three very dedicated Year 9 students today, trying to find and identify koura to help with their monitoring and conservation. It was great fun. We also have lots of still photos to support out entry into Koura Kraze 2009. I urge you to watch our little movie until the end, where you will see four of the 12 koura we found. Well done Morgan, Savana and Courtney.
