Walk in the bush

With all the media news about snakebite, people may be discouraged from taking bush walks.

As a science teacher, I often took groups of teenagers on these, back in class they had to write essays on their experience.

A teacher sent me one which I treasure: "When I go for a walk in the bush all I see is bush, but when I go with Vincent Serventy I see the wonder of it".

In all my books and films, I try to show readers and viewers the wonder of nature.

In a long life in the bush, I have never been bitten by a snake though I know what to do.

I have had two nasty accidents on roads, so go walking in the bush.
