awesome pics Baz!! That racoon pic is hilarious.. Looks like you had the trip of a lifetime man.

[BAZ]

Thanks Matt :)

Yeah the Raccoon was pretty funny. Looked like he was plotting his escape just sitting there rubbing his hands together

[Matt_K]

LMAO, now that i look at it again, you're right. Its like the Racoon in Dr. Doolittle man.. I can just hear Micheal Rappaport right now.. :D hahaha

[doenoe]

Awesome pics man. Really, i have to work more hours now because of you. Just to make money for a trip :D
The cheetah looks wicked

Martin

[BAZ]

I should enter that raccoon one in some kinda competition :p

[doenoe]

Got plans for a trip next year allready? Just curious :D

[BAZ]

Yup I do actually. Darwin, Australia in September 2004 to catch fresh water crocs with Dr Adam Britton for conservation research. Wanna come?

[doenoe]

Oh wow australia. 2004 eh, so that gives me a year to save money. I could pull that off. How do you estimate it will cost?
Oh and i havent got any handling experience at all :D

[Linds]

Again....... Amazing shots! What an experience! :D

[BAZ]

Thanks Linds :)

Doenoe, the Australia trip will cost you the flight there and back which will be around $2500. Should take about $500 with you for food and the times you might have to stay in town. So I'm guessing around $3000. If you can save more then even better. Most of the time we will be staying in the bush so you will need camping gear like a tent, mosquito net and sleeping back. I will be staying in Australia for 2 weeks and it will take a couple of days to get there and a couple of days to get back. Some people who are coming with me are planning on staying there a few months and travelling around afterwards.

If you don't have croc handling experience then thats ok coz you will learn real fast when u there ;) lol

[Rebecca]

Wow how do you afford all these trips?? That is just amazing!!

[doenoe]

thats canadian $ right?
Sorry for the questions, but im really interested.

[BAZ]

I'm not rich or anything like that. My full time job as a graphic designer and freelance design work helps me out a bit ;)

[BAZ]

Yeah thats Canadian. I'm going to try and save $3500 myself for this Australia trip. That should cover everything.

[drewlowe]

wow that looks like such an amazing trip!!!!

Baz you take such GREAT pic.

[BAZ]

Thanks Drewlowe. That clown from IT is friggin scarey tho! :o

[doenoe]

ok, thanks for all the answers Baz. Im sure i can get the money together. So thats covered.
Ill be keeping my eyes open for more info, when you know more :D
Thanks again

[BAZ]

Doenoe e-mail me at bkanda@species.com and I will add u to my list of people who are coming with me.

[drewlowe]

lol everyone says that. I'm trying to find a decent picture from strangeland then i'll change it. Until then.......

They all float down here...

[Siretsap]

Hi Baz,
Just a few questions, what shots are needed to go to Australia? Also, is the trip with a guide? I would really be interrested in going. Would save the money for it to. 2 weeks, that sounds pretty decent. Do we need anything in particular to go? Experience in some sort or classes of any kind?
Thanks
Michael

[BAZ]

Michael I have not looked into what kinda shots we would need for Australia. There is no "guide" really. The purpose of the trip is to work with researchers there on McKinlay River catching freshwater crocodiles to determine the effect the cane toad is having on their population. Dr Adam Britton is the person who will be in charge there and basically we will be working under his supervision.

No experience is necessary for this trip... just be willing to work hard and long and don't expect too much sleep at night. I have talked to some people who did this before and they really enjoyed the experience.

[Siretsap]

Lol that is perfect,
I never sleep more than 5 hours a night anyways. And working hard isn't a prob.
I know someone who went to Africa this year to help the people with the hospitals. She had an awesome time there, even if she did see a lot of sad things there.

[Big Mike]

Great pics as usually. Thanks for sharing
