Australian Society of Herpetologists meeting in Darwin and Kakadu National Park

I traveled to Darwin in December to attend the Australian Society of Herpetologists (ASH) meeting and present my results from the Western Swamp Tortoise research. I joined up with a UWA professor and his students for a trip through Litchfield and Kakadu National Park after the meeting. We were looking for frogs and recording their calls at night and trying not to get eaten by crocs during the day. The wet season was starting and it was a HOT and fun time in the tropics.
