In 1972, Tom wrote a series of sixteen articles about wildlife for the Stanthorpe Border Post, the area's local newspaper. The articles were published on a weekly basis, beginning in June.

Tom kept copies of them and, thanks to the kind permission of the newspaper, we are able to reproduce them here.
