After meeting Rob and Shannon at the Big Mango, one of the best presented big things I must say, (see diary) we have formed a special bond of Big Thing hunters now officially known as Bigguns.   I have had great help in spotting some of the tougher buggers along the way. Those that I didn't know about and probably would have missed as they've got good eyes are labeled as such. Credit where credit is due.
