TRIVIA
His September 11, 2012 news coverage of a "fire tornado" was reported globally. Such was the reaction, he was interviewed live on both ABC's Good Morning America and the NBC Today show on the same day and was twice approached by former US Vice-President Al Gore to license the footage. Images featured in almost every TV news bulletin, major newspaper and news/science blog in the world (and often still do). He spent 2 years on a lone search for the Thylacine or "Tasmanian Tiger" and has led expeditions to rediscover early explorer's camps in the remote Australian outback.
