This is a fantastic thread! Thanks for taking the time to share your adventure with us.

I was glad to read I wasn’t the only one to notice the pink hair. It kept me from sticking my foot in my mouth.

Chris, I'm not sure what camera James was using. I was using a Canon Powershot S3 IS and Andy was using a Canon iXUS. Quite a few of the landscape pics that Andy posted were taken with a Canon EOS DS3.

I should have guesses. Canon makes some real nice cameras. Thanks again for the story!

Can't think of anything adequate enough to describe how perfect this hunt w/your friends!! As good or better than anything I've ever seen. Much obliged!

Straitera,

Andy and I, along with 5 others, will be embarking on a 12 day hunt in Australia in about 3 weeks time, so keep you eyes peeled for pics. It's gonna be a great trip, and lots of pics afterward!  ;)

Incredible Thread!  I don't have a prayer of putting together photos like these.  I'll probably go for "quantity" and hope to get lucky on a few photographs.  
The guys I'm going with are really good with video equipment so I hope to have a good record of the events.  We leave on Sept. 8th so things are getting close.  
Nigel and Andy have already experienced a life that few their age have the slightest clue about.  "Freedom" and "adventure" are words that keep coming to mind.  Just awesome guys...
