The website is visited by fanciers from all around the world and the newsletter widely distributed in Australia and to many overseas countries. You can either email the photos to Brad Turner b.turner@uq.edu.au for photo enhancement and editing, or put them on a CD Rom and mail them to 23 Alton Tce, The Gap. 4061. Queensland.
