Steve's lifelong love affair with reptiles has taken him to some of Australia's most remote places. For the past 30 years he has been working to compile a comprehensive photographic documentation of Australia's reptiles. He has authored/co-authored more than 5 books, including A Field Guide to Reptiles, What Snake is That, and What Lizard is That and has written many magazine articles on reptiles. For the past 20 years Steve has worked at the Queensland Museum, educating the public, identifying their specimens and (hopefully) instilling a desire to conserve our unique biological heritage.
