13/01/2008: "WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GREY NURSE? "
"A guided missile of terror with murder in its heart that can smell blood from miles away."
That's how a Sydney newspaper journalist re-wrote my text to "jazz it up" a little. After that incident I stopped contributing shark educational material to that newspaper. A written apology was given, but not in print.
The traveling film shows did well to correct a lot of mis-understandings with the sea. Queenslander's were starved for good information. They had the Great Barrier Reef at their front door yet few got to see it.
As mentioned previously, we had many thousand people attend the film shows every week. They were so successful after just a few weeks of work we did not need to do any more for another 12 months.
