About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Environment
Occupation	Anthropologist & Ranger
Location	Alice Springs & Ormiston Gorge, Northern Territory, Australia
Introduction	Our blog ... and we can't decide what to write here ... yet. Watch this space ... maybe
Interests	Him: gadgets, having fun, enjoying sunsets, camping in obscure places in the bush that no one else has ever heard of. Her: camping in obscure places in the bush that no one has ever heard of, bushwalking, yoga, being a gym junkie, relaxing in the garden, reading, and trekking in the Himalayas.
Favorite Movies	Too hard.. action stuff ... LOTR, Star Wars, Indiana Jones. Ok Gary says Tombraider but that's only cos he likes perving on Angelina Jolie. Alright, Amanda will fess up her faves: the Lion King, Himalaya, Love Actually, Monsoon Wedding, Return of the Jedi, the Golden Child ... anything with the Himalayas in it (can you see a pattern forming here?).
Favorite Music	Nothing in particular as long as it's not heavy metal. Also don't like acid jazz or opera. And I hate, detest, puke, vomit, KILL that Destiny's Child-type stuff ('skankalicious' trash that doesn't deserve to be called music).
Favorite Books	Amanda: Anything by Kate Elliott. Peter Mathiesson's 'The Snow Leopard'. Kathy Reichs. Stephen King (especially his autobiographical 'On Writing'). Guy Gavriel Kay. Margaret Attwood. Ben Elton. Terry Pratchett. oh yeah, and any books about climbing or trekking in the Himalayas. Gary: Anything with pictures...nice pictures and even some words, too (preferably describing the pictures).

When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?

umm... no.
