Students stay in cabins with eight
people to a cabin. This is Cabin 2
which is on the edge of the
Rainforest. | The Center for Rainforest
Studies in
Queensland, Australia Here is a short tour of the
students' and staff's rainforest
habitats! SFS provides the
comforts of home with a few
interesting twists, such as
bathrooms run by the sun!
| 
The student cabins are not usually
very tidy. There is not much room
with each student having a bed, a
plastic trunk and a very small space
in a mouse proof cabin. |
The staff stay in duplex cabins
which are relatively spartan and
consist of two rooms: a
living/bedroom and a bathroom. | 
The ablution block is where the
student toilets and showers are.
There are two of these side by side,
one for males and one for females.
Their power is provided by solar
cells and batteries and their hot
water is provided by wood (you can
see the boiler in the background.) | 
In the staff and students' cabins
the lights are run off of solar
energy. The solar cells are in the
foreground. In the background is a
solar hot water heater for a staff
cabin.
