This guy was the star of a TV series all about eating up the countryside, the indigenous way. Goanna goulash with a witchity grub sauce - that sort of thing. Anyway, the trip didn't happen, due to lack of interest from Leica owning softies, like me. Interestingly, the trip that took place before the Landrover/Bushtucker thing was thought up, being a sprint through green rolling hills dotted with wineries in a cavalcade of BMW roadsters, was oversubscribed by us sturdy Aussie Leica types. Funny about that. Just because Australia has 95% (?) of the world most poisonous snakes doesn't make me like them any better, or want to eat them. Rick.
