Summary: Wow, what a treat we were in for. We were met by a very full on, enthusiastic Chantelle, who was very passionate about the invertebrates/reptiles we would be seeing tonight. She is very knowledgeable about the various animals, and unwavering skill in finding them, along with a great sense of humour. It suppose to have been a 2 hour tour, but as it had ended with only two of us going in the end, the other people had dropped out, it was slightly longer, as there were lots of things turning up. A was good fun, but you still had to respect the area as this was a fragile environment, and had to be respected, also without Chantelle's guidance of walking behind in line, who knows how many scorpions we would have walked on!!! Thank you Chantelle.
