this is Jax :)
After gaining some knowledge about the plants we had some lunch and luckily we found a spot under a roof because as soon as we sat down it started raining pretty hard. It was so ironic that it was raining in the rainforest right? After lunch we were put in charge of potting plants which pretty much consisted of putting new soil on top of old soil in the plants. We were under the impression that we were doing a dandy job when the man (who looked identical to Bernie from Weekend at Bernies if you've seen the movie, minus this guy was alive ) would come around and tell us to pull out the weeds, which we had thought were part of the plant and had put dirt on top of. Then he came around again and told us if there were worms in the soil to take them out because they'll make the soil all squishy, before this helpful hint we had just been pushing the worms in the soil as well. So here we are attempting to give back to the community and more than likely we probably killed all those plants because we weren't doing it quite the right way... Mid-way through helping the plants/killing the plants we took a little walk and went and looked at a tree that had completely green bark all the way up, it was legit. We also saw this ants nest that was weird, cool and impressive at the same time.

Once we finished up at the nursery we took the windy road back to our humble abode, the hostel. We took a nap and in a little bit we're gonna go to a pool hall to play for a little bit. Gotta get plenty of rest tonight, the Great Barrier Reef is tomorrow!!
Glad to hear you are having such a great time exploring Australia!
