Falconry in Western Australia?

[Hawkmaster]

Here is a request we received, can you help?


Hi there,

I'm an Australian journalist based in London and am on a mission to find people from regional Western Australia who are now doing interesting things within driving distance from London. I've got great admiration for the falconry dispalys I've seen at castles and bird of prey centres - it would be wonderful to find someone involved with falconry to make this television news segment.

Could you please post this special media request on your forum, to please contact me if you know anyone from regional Western Australia involved in falconry?

Thanks very much,

Thanks Penelope,I have re-read with my glasses on.It makes more sense that way.However,my point is that native Aussies would not have home grown experience of falconry.

Have a neb at this site, apparently falconry was banned in Australia in 1975. People can only have anything to do with bop in Aus for re-hab purposes.
