I think so to. I have other TV shows interested, including Totally
Wild which is based on conservation, animals and science. It is
produced with the help of Parks and Wildlife, CSIRO, Double Helix etc.
The producer sounded VERY interested so I will get onto it once I am
at 100% once more. I really am feeling under the weather, with pinched
nerve in my neck and seized shoulders, etc. I wasn't looking forward
to lugging a glass tank with everything needed on a train for 90
minutes to film a segment at their own location. I've done that before
(for Burkes Backyard) and I paid for it big time physically and
financially.

I might have a word to the Uni about letting me film in the science
lab or curriculum resources center 'lounge' area. It would be easy
enough to take along a tank and set it up ahead of time, perhaps leave
it on display for the other teachers - perhaps convert a few? I live
within walking distance, it is nearby, and big enough for a film crew,
which my small unit is not.

Most tv crews do prefer to film in Sydney, so a database of locations
is definitely needed. If we have a press info page with information
about land hermit crab care, articles available for syndication,
contact details by country/state etc then it will be easier for them
to feature the content.

Most sites have a press info page these days, with something like:

[Below are some resources for media and press use.
The photos listed have been approved for general use.
If you require any futher information then contact us via the details
below.]

Along with images, pdf's to download, press releases etc. Sound good? :)

Not sure what happened so I'll just send you another invite :)
Expect it within the next few seconds. BTW, if anyone is needing an
invite email me at landhermitcrabs@... and I'll send you an
invite - available only for the first 50 people, since that is how
many invites I have ;)
