I just wanted to let everyone know that I heard back on the fellowship that I applied for and I got it! I will be spending a year starting in August traveling Australia photographing endemic birds. Can't wait and will post more later once this sets in a bit. Talk to you all soon!

WOW Drew!!! I remember when you were talking about applying for it--way to go!!!
I imagine your experience with the everglades project and the website probably was a big help in getting the fellowship...you never know where one idea or passion in your life can lead you to Keep us informed while you can. Randy

Thanks again everybody. I know there will be lots of questions in the next few months.
The best resource for a non-Australian to learn all you need to know about the place is Bill Bryson's book "In a Sunburned Country" - a must read before your trip.
