    A new colony of the world's rarest marsupial, the Gilbert's Potoroo, will be established on WA's South Coast today.

    Fewer than 100 of the quokka-like Potoroos are known to exist and are only found at two locations - Bald Island and Two Peoples Bay - on the South Coast.

    Today, seven of the animals will be released into a 380-hectare enclosure in the Waychinicup National Park, east of Albany.

    The Environment Minister, Donna Faragher, says it is a big step for the struggling species.

    "I certainly have high hopes and the department has high hopes that this will lead for a successful translocation and we'll see an increase in the numbers," she said.

    The Government has funded the $120,000 relocation.

    I think its a far better investment of tax-payer dollars than liver-transplants (and not the first!!!) for known drug addicts!

    Me and my profession

    As a qualified educator, and educator of the educators, I am a communications expert; understanding how and why information delivery works and doesn't work. I have experience with technology and consider myself an information-futurist. I am a dreamer!

    Now, enough of that wank and onto some more...I have been a teacher of modern English and literature, taught people the skills of learning, teaching and communicating. A can look at big and little pictures and advise on getting from point A to point B. I can read maps!

    I am an excellent facilitator, negotiator and have, on many occasions in the past, presented to small and large groups alike. I am a talker!

    My experience in commercial enterprise has helped me take a leap from the structure and politic of government back into the real world. I am a thinker!

    But I am a teacher; was a teacher of skills and knowledge, and now, like most of us, just a teacher.

    Specialties:

    Information and communication developer, reviewer and planner, advice on learning, elearning and services online. I see the past and dream the future. I can use smart and dumb tools. A sharer and a listener. A strategist and a dreamer. I can negotiate with people from all walks. I know where I am at and where you want to be. I can read maps!
