Here are the rest of the surgery pics 
In the first pic, you can see a small white spot where the incision is made. The trackers are bigger than I thought they would be.

Couple more
First couple are Clifford coming round
The second two are 'Ledger' - the one that was a little bit too small for a tracker making himself a turbin, and having a microchip inserted.

Thats great news Jozz, when he decided to move he didn't muck around 2 km is a long way, it will be interesting to see how often he moves and how far.

Hey there! Just thought I would give an update
Morris stayed in the lignum, and in a close small fallen log up until 24th Jan, and was last seen in the reeds by the water about 200 metres downstream on 24th Jan.
The other 2, 'Clifford' and 'Ledger' were released on the 18th Jan (last Friday). (Ledger was named after Heath Ledger because of his very big genetalia, and he was caught on a ledge on the cliffs).
Clifford was the one having the tracker inserted in the last set of photos, and came out of the bag and dived straight back in the boat! He was released in exactly the same location he was found. We checked on him on Monday, and he had moved about 250 metres downstream near some gum trees. He was in the little caves in the cliffs, and couldn't be seen. I happened to brush my hat on a wasps nest while looking in all the holes with the retriever, and was attacked by a small swarm!!! OUCH! Learnt a valuable lesson there - WATCH WHERE YOUR STICKING YOUR HEAD IN THE HOLES IN THE CLIFFS!
There's more coming.........................

Ledger was a bit too small for the tracker unfortunately, so he was microchipped and released where he was caught (about 35 metres down from Clifford). He gave the lady heading up this project a parting kiss
You can see his tail in the 3rd pic - not much of a chance for photos when they're released!
These cliffs are awsome! Enjoy

Fantastic Jozz.
It's nice to know there are still some out there. Hope you turn up some more.

Yeah, it is surprising how many there actually are. The more I talk to locals up here, I think there's still a good population of them around.
I hope we find more too, but it will be a hell of a lot of work chasing any more around - let alone 12!!!
