Orientation for Student GroupsGroups are met at the airstrip and transported to the Research Station by 4WD vehicle and tractor, a distance of 2 km over a rough, sandy track. After settling into the accommodation and sorting out food supplies, the group meets with a Director of the Station for an orientation talk. This covers domestic arrangements, snorkelling, boating, use of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the Lizard Island National Park, and visitors' responsibilities. Hire of snorkelling gear can then be arranged, and designated boat drivers will be given detailed practical training. Research Station staff are always available to assist with planning the day's activities and to advise on field sites. One of the Directors will be happy to present a slide show and talk about Reef life to the group one evening. Also, a staff member is available to assist with transport if the group decides to climb Cook's Look.
