Q. Do you have a ‘most memorable’ moment to date?
A. There are many but more recently an outback helicopter flight with an aerial musterer. The chopper had only two seats, no doors and the pilot sat in stubbies, thongs and sucked on a cigarette. I wasn't clipped in but he banked and rolled this chopper like a matchbox car, up and down Coopers Creek where the birdlife was prolific. I insisted I didn't have the squadrons of pelicans we were mustering in the right light just so I could do it again and again.
