Australia -- October 6, 2026

For the extended family: Heron Island Research Station. Link here. Our middle granddaughter Olivia is currently studying abroad -- down under -- Australia. Her AFROTC commitment allows her only one quarter to study abroad. She invited herself to join a research group on Heron Island, part of the Great Barrier Reef.  For perspective, my college research was in the Arctic. LOL. Map and one photo: 

The research team: Olivia has the star on her top, and, I believe, that's a snorkeling tube over her left shoulder. Oh, yes, she and others are wearing fins, so they were snorkeling. She qualified for dive-certification when she was twelve years old but didn't get the certificate because she was not old enough to qualify. She is comfortable in and around water.
