Hi David,
I am taking my family on a trip to Kakadu after Easter. Are you available for a nature chat/walk with my kids while we are there? I have been a big fan of yours since your mistletoe experiment. Let me know (fingers crossed) cathcooper at westnet dot com dot au.
That tadpole is extraordinary!
