Each Snowy River Thinking activity or event will be recorded here chronologically. Most events will also have their own page documenting the full range of things that happened.
Term 4 2008 This term has seen the climate fluctuate wildly, starting with a very dry spring [almost the driest on record] and ending with exceptional rain that brought an above average spring rainfall total to the region [and a wet start to summer]. Oct 15 Yr5-6 students at Orbost North Primary School reviewed changes at the Bete Belong monitoring site. October 22 Year 3 students from Swan Reach Primary School visited Snowy River Thinking at Marlo Primary School and had a great time hunting for and identifying freshwater macroinvertebrates. October 28 P-2 students from St Josephs School visited Snowy River Thinking at Marlo Primary School and had a great time hunting for and identifying freshwater macroinvertebrates. P-2 students from Orbost North Primary School visited Snowy River Thinking at Marlo Primary School and had a great time hunting for and identifying freshwater macroinvertebrates. November 4 Orbost North Primary School Yr4-6 students visited the Bete Belong monitoring site and also examined rehabilitation works between Bete Belong and the Highway. St Josephs School Yr5-6 students visited the Bete Belong monitoring site and also examined rehabilitation works between Bete Belong and the Highway. November 5 P-2 students from Newmerella Primary School visited Snowy River Thinking at Marlo Primary School and had a great time hunting for and identifying freshwater macroinvertebrates. Snowy River Thinking joined Marlo Primary School P-3 camp at Cape Conran and had an excellent afternoon with students learning how to use GPS units and hunting 'treasure' around the camp site. November 12 Yr5-6 Students at St Josephs School tested water collected from the Bete Belong site on their previous trip for conductivity, pH and dissolved Oxygen. They also had fun exploring the relationship between salt and conductivity.
