There are plenty out there involved in monkey business . Oh wait a moment; chimps aren't monkeys!

There is a little guerilla stuff available around the world if you don't mind travelling, although the disposition is still questionable .

On the serious side, I think you have demonstrated the ability to work flexibly and think outside the square. I trust it will bring you benefits in other areas down the track.

PS. If you can get any work with Bonobos, they have a far better approach to life than Chimpanzes. (So much for seriousness )

I don't know if you are aware of this job posted by Bob Willson. It seems like a monstrous challenge, but in the right area for you geographically and materials wise. Makes a chimpanze enclosure look like a BBQ bench in the park!

Nice work, Tricon. Will be there to have a look at it in a couple of weeks.

The Taronga Zoo project wouldnt have been possible without the help and guidence I received from Joel Morris of Buckwood Sawmill (0248421185) and Damien Morris of Sawmill Trading Co (0242571188)
These guys are some of the rare straight shooters left in our industry. They over deliver every time and nothing is ever too hard.
With their help we turned a nightmare into an amazing result- just wait till you see it, photos just dont do it justice!
