Eight days ago I dared you all to come on a journey with me.
Like an iron-fisted, battle-scarred big game hunting guide cutting his way through the Chobe National Park, I wanted to lead you across the treacherous Bass Strait to an extremely remote island; home to an incredibly dense population of the most amazing and potentially deadly species on earth. I wanted to take you to Chappell Island; the home of the giant Tiger Snakes.
I was willing to parlay all I was (scientist, researcher, adventurer) and all I will be for the chance to be at one with the snake that holds a special place in my heart and I wanted to bring that adventure to you as it happened.
But, I am sorry, for I have failed!
We worked so hard each and everyday to capture the footage we really needed to bring the full and complete story to the small screen. As a consequence I passed out in my cabin each night, following a 13 hour shoot, arising only 8 hours later to eat breakfast, drink coffee and do it all over again.
So forgive me and enjoy the journey as a reflection instead. After all, that is what this blog is all about; re-living the dream.
