Leaving for Africa

This afternoon Alecia left for her seven-month-long trip to Africa. Before she left she wanted one last look at the gorgeous tiger snakes (Notechis scutatus) one can find here in Western Australia, so we all headed down to a nearby lake to try our luck. We saw two tiger snakes, but again didn’t manage to get any decent photos.

Alecia won’t be back in Australia until sometime in August, but hopefully she’ll be able to regale us with stories of close encounters with cobras and lions via the magic of the internet.

    Hi Stewart
    Very interesting seeing your activities in WA. I thought some of the photographs were particularly good.

    Hi Stewart,
    Got the calendar thanks – it’s great. Best to Alecia when you hear from her — I’m jealous – I’d like to be there for seven months. Heather & I enjoyed your blogs and great photography from WA – your Mum forwarded them to us along with the story about the “lost Houdini”.
    Cheers mate
