hey guys!
i got a few emails asking if the monitor was ok and what i was gonna do and also had a few people offer help (like food and stuff) i thank you those people!
so anyway i wasn't sure where to put this thread but i though all you people who were concerned about keath would like to know about him!

ok...as i said i ould post what happened...

i went riding up to kuringai to see if i could find any stuff today...i was walking around all the fire trails and didn't have much luck...i saw some weird stuff bolt off into the undergrowth and was cinda angry about that! anyway i went down one and found all these lacie tracks (as in pic) and then looked ahead...and you guessed it...there he was...he bolted up a tree (as in pics) and then i smelt this horrible stench of dead stuff...turned out there was fox baits in the area and it killed one...i went and burried it so the lacie didn't eat him and die...

anyway the stuff goes on...couldn't find much and felt like getting some air in my face so road down to the park...i knew where some cunninghams were so thought i would go see if i could get a few sots of em...but before i reached there...i saw 4 kids (roughly around the age of 10) and they were throwing something at the rock...i sorta had memories cause i used to do that...but as i looked they picked up the same thing and the little goanna happened to be the victem...ive never jumped off a bike the way i did today...i lept off so quickly my handle bar got knocked out of place and i couldn't fix it until i got home...anyway i raced in and started swearing my head off at the little kids and grabbed the monitor...i was helling so much one of them burst into tears but i didn't care! i took him over to some of the more rock parts and his eyes were rolling back into him head and he couldn't stand...i had a water bottle with me and flushed him with a bit of water...he didn't particularly like that so i drank some then pored the rest out and stuck him in there (it was the only thing i had) and i bit several holes into the bottle so he could breath....and then i had to ride up :| what a flog with the handle bars moving side to side and forwards and so on! it sicked...i stopped roughly ever 10 min to open the cap and let abit more air get into the bottle...i stopped at my friends house cause he had a spare tank and so i dropped him off there then took my jackies out of there enclosure and stuck them in a box and hes in there enclosure!

well...today he was racing around his enclosure and he ate a little skink...so i decided i would let him go! he has no wounds on him and was very happy to try bit me! he was looking fabulous and wouldn't let me touch him!

heres a few pics...then some more in a sec...

I almost agree with the bike runner but I think they deserve something much more painful.
