Your
Naturalist and Guide is Alan Gillanders,
specialising in tree-kangaroos, birds and
nocturnal mammals on the beautiful Atherton Tablelands, North Queensland, Australia.
The
sights, sounds and smells of the Australian
rainforest and bush mean more to you as you
develop an understanding of their importance.
Linking the sound to the animal you have
just seen and its surroundings, you build
a sensory map of your environment.
Amusing stories about
the plants and animals not only entertain
you but fashion significant memories.
As a teacher with a wide range of experience,
Alan relates well to children.
Alan has a current senior
first aid certificate. National Park
permits and insurance are held.

Endorsement:
"I would like to single out Alan Gillanders with whom we spent four days in North Queensland. I simply can't imagine having a better guide/teacher/companion/friend to enjoy the experiences of the Atherton Tablelands and the outback.
It was no small task to enter the life of a 3 generation family of
8 and tend to everyone's interests in such a careful and heartfelt way. His many local contacts and his willingness to use them reaped great benefits for us and our to desire to encounter nature at every turn. He was sensitive to the needs of family members ranging in age from 11 to 70 something. We felt such kinship that we were pleased he and Maria could visit us stateside.” Tim Bonsack, June 2011, email
