Coaching, Tours & Workshops General Information

What to Bring

I WILL ADVISE IF YOU NEED WATERPROOF or WATER RESISTANT SHOES

Some locations can be soggy - in which case I'll recommend gumboots or a water resistant boot - but ONLY if they are comfortable to walk in! They don't need to be fully waterproof, but it's likely we'll encounter some mud and shallow puddles at some point.

LIGHT RAINCOAT

Throw one in the car if looks like light showers and you have one.

Note I will reschedule or offer a full refund for bad weather.

SNAKE PROTECTION

At a minimum, sturdy shoes and boots covering the ankle, paired with long pants. I recommend and wear 'anti-snake bite' gaiters in the summer. It's so easy to be distracted by a bird and not see a snake right at your feet. I like these ones by Hunters Element, very durable and comfortable, with the added bonus of protecting the lower legs from scratches from twigs and prickly branches.

DO YOU USE A TRIPOD OR MONOPOD?

Please bring one if you like to use one - I don't use one and shoot handheld - but please use whatever you are most comfortable with! There's no right or wrong way.

SPARE CAMERA BATTERY & MEMORY CARD

I have a power bank available for recharging emergencies. It's a good idea to carry a spare memory card and battery just in case. Memory cards do fail eventually and it's a horrible feeling when you don't have a back-up plan.

REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE

Please bring your own water bottle if you would like to carry water. I have a limited supply in my vehicle, but on certain tours we may be away from the vehicle for several hours.

SUNSCREEN & HAT

I do have sunscreen available but you may prefer your own brand.

LAPTOP OR TABLET

(for all-day or multi-day experiences)

If you have the ability to download your photos for review while travelling, please bring your devices so we can have a look at some editing as a back-up plan if the weather is a little shaky.

INSECT REPELLANT

I supply insect repellant for in person coaching, workshops and tours.
