Cross Your Fingers! Application Completed!

(My application photo-I was Lara Croft for Halloween 2008)

Wow! It was cold this morning! I was able to make all finishing touches today and successfully submit my application video! It was a little scary at first, because six hours before the due date I tried to submit and it wasn't getting sent through! But finally, to much relief, a couple hours before it was due the site finally accepted my submission. Now we wait to see if Tourism Queensland accepts it, and whether or not I'm in the top 50. Here it is if you'd like a sneak preview:




While we were taping we caught a glimpse of a beaver as well! We tried taping him doing the 'THWACK, THWACK' with his tail in the water but he was a little camera shy. Here he is swimming:




If you'd like a good laugh watch this take while videoing the application:
(My video guy [love you bunches babe] was in my path to the tree so I had to take a detour-and almost face-first into a branch!)

Application Tonight-Not So Much :(

Well, I thought I would have the video up tonight. I had some great ideas for it, but I found today that I need to make some minor changes. However, tomorrow is a new day and you can bet I'll be up at the break of dawn making the final touches. Ohh, the suspense!

Yay! My First Step as Great Barrier Reef Caretaker!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to my very first posting as the Great Barrier Reef Caretaker (potentially)! Join me on my journey through the application process, and feel free to let me know how you've been doing!

(As you can see from all of my exclamation points I am very excited about this opportunity!)

I'll let you know as soon as I put my application in, which should be tonight!
