This morning the SMH is reporting the fatality
of a birder
in northern Western Australia.
Apparently his vehicle became bogged & he died of heat & or
thirst.
Now the righteous outcries will begin about how
he should
not have gone on his own, should have hired an EPIRB & satellite
phone, should
have filed a trip plan, what a fool he was, etc.
But before that starts I would just like to say
that from
what I can conjecture from the news so far, he took a risk for his
passion, it ended
badly, but he died living.
I admire him & hope he found the grasswren.
