Venomous Snakes Relocation and Management Course
"Our course turned out to be with some great guys and we were all very much reptile enthusiasts. It was fantastic that you tailored the course to suit our particular needs as a group and you gave us some exceptional exposure to the industry. In fact, it was far more exposure than I thought we would be able to get and I very much enjoyed it! As I mentioned on the first day, I am captivated by Australian Elapid species but had never seen them in the flesh. This only increased throughout the course as a result of the experience seeing the serious calibre of animals you have and their amazing, relentless and stongly instincitve behaviour. I specifically refer to animals like 'Babe' who demand such respect and focus from everyone when she is out and about. I dont think many people would ever gain the exposure to such an animal on any other course."

Snake Awareness and Safety Sessions
"Just want to let you know that the feedback from your presentation on Wednesday has been exceptionally positive. From top to bottom, everyone has rated the snake session as the highlight of the day! You were very engaging, and spoke to the guys in a language they could understand. Your knowledge and understanding of Cooper Basin environments and operations came through clearly, which made the session relevant for the field based guys, and easy for them to relate to; but it was also applicable for those in town. The demonstration was spectacular, and your expertise in this field was evident to all." (Amy Slocombe, Santos Environmental Advisor. Adelaide Town Hall Snake Demonstration 2009)
Guest Lectures
"The feedback from the students has been overwhelmingly positive and they have thoroughly enjoyed and really benefited from the wildlife experiences, knowledge and issues you have shared with us. I am hoping many excellent research opportunities will spring from these session too." (Chris Daniels: Head, Discipline of Geospatial and Environmental Management, University of South Australia, 2009)
