A study of the diversity of life that lives off the dead
Over the past two years I’ve spent nearly 8 months in the field, monitoring rotting animal carcasses through the heat of the Simpson Desert, the cold of Kosciuszko and, in the Blue Mountains, through some of the most amazing thunder storms I’ve ever had the privilege to experience. I’ve managed to bog (and free) my vehicle in every study system, I’ve navigated swarms of wasps and angry feral pigs, howled with dingos and shared time with some incredible, hard-working volunteers. Now, with the fieldwork side
For this first post, I’ll go back to where it begun, to the Wolgan Valley in the Blue Mountains, and the summer of last year.
