Well we are in our fourth week at Scotia and it has been quite a busy one!! We spent a lovely four days with Peta and Brett in Broken Hill relaxing and not doing any fencing whatsoever. It was a nice change. We visited Peta at School of the Air (just in time for morning tea as it turned out - nice one) and checked out the ultra modern studios and equipment. It was really fantastic and well worth the visit if you are in the area. They have tourist sessions but of course we got the private tour.
On return to Scotia it was all systems go with a news crew and fund donors arriving to watch the release of the rest of the Woylie (little hoppy mammal thingamys) population into stage two. It was all very exciting - hopefully some of you caught the story on Channel Ten National News . . . . We also had to finish off our wallaby pens in preparation for the release of most of the Bridled Nail Tail Wallabies into stage two. This was a huge program which required four all nighters in

Independent Transiberian Planning - We spent the full month on and off the train. We can give some advice on what to see and possibly what not to see (Stolby Nature Reserve) along the way in Siberia. Planning it yourself is possible and worth doing if you have the time.

Trans Siberian planning - we spent the full month on and off the train as independently as we could so we have good and bad reviews of places and trips within Russia.

We were born in Australia and have lived and travelled in all states. We are keen campers and bushwalkers and are able to give some advice on good campsites and some good guidance on a couple of classic overland walks - CRADLE MOUNTAIN - LAKE SINCLAIR in Tasmania and the CAPE to CAPE track in WA.
