'I have just glanced through a few of your CDs and I have to write immediately and congratulate you on an absolutely fantastic production. I had no idea how extensive each one of the nine discs would be and how much information they impart. They must have been an enormous amount of work for you and David to produce and I am filled with admiration for both the content and the presentation. The only problem is they are a very daunting prospect for my own intended efforts with the Magaliesberg! This is a genuine occasion to use the otherwise over-worked word "awesome."' Vincent Carruthers. Renowned environmental specialist and author

'I think you have captured the huge diversity, historical and ecological importance of Melville Koppies beautifully.' Dr Duncan Macfadyen. Research and Conservation Manager for EOSON
