My belief is that what comes across on the television is a capture of my enthusiasm and my passion for wildlife.

So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.

I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian.

We don’t own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.

See, I've always seen Jacques Cousteau as a hero, mate. He's a legend - like my dad, just a legend. And so what he did for conservation in the '60s through the '70s was just phenomenal.

My number one rule is to keep that camera rolling. Even if it's shaky or slightly out of focus, I don't give a rip. Even if a big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, 'Crikey!' just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me.

So fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.
