Josh started Reptile Encounters in 2007, following a lifelong interest in Australian wildlife. As a youngster he kept blue tongue lizards and turtles; it wasn't long before the family home resembled a wildlife sanctuary. Special micro habitats filled the bedroom and every corner of the house! Josh brings this same passion for wildlife to Reptile Encounters.

Josh holds a Bachelor of Medical Science degree from La Trobe University and also completed studies in zoology. It was studying zoology that inspired Josh to follow the path of wildlife presenting. Josh aims to combine his experience with Australian wildlife and his science background to help educate people about Australia’s unique environment.

Catherine has had a love of all creatures great and small from early childhood. After completing a Bachelor of Science at Melbourne University she moved to South Australia to work at Yookamurra Sanctuary as a tour guide and animal attendant. She was proud to be involved in the captive and semi-captive breeding programs of threatened and endangered Australian species such as the Numbat and Bilby. Catherine is thrilled to return to working with animals after raising a brood of her own.
