[SEL] OT. To the aussies

[Cam grundy]

Hi Peter
              I don't agree with you there, this man was a true 
conservationist and mixed a lot of humor with it to get it across. What a 
lot of people don't realize is that most of what he made went back into that 
cause, he also did a lot for Tourism here. It is sad to think that the rest 
of the world thought of him and his cause than some of our fellow countryman 
did.
Cheers Cam.
