I have been monitoring this site and henrythesealion.com.au looking for the results of the competition but I cannot find out the winners. The competition is closed and the winners were due to be announced after 16th May well we are now 18th June and there has been no mention or update on either site so what’s happening? hope everything and everyone are okay at your end and we will read more soon.

Hi Barb, thanks for your email and for your positive feedback. This site is being run through the enthusiasm of a few key people in DEH, the Zoo and SARDI. We put in a lot of time to get the site running during the period that Henry was being tracked.

We are hoping to showcase the lives of additional marine predators in Adelaide’s coastal waters, but that work requires us to find some money first. We have applied for some funding and hope to hear back about this soon.

We hope to expand Henrys website so it resembles http://www.topp.org, so we are after some funding to build such an impressive site.

Rest assured that we will never lose our enthusiasm for projects like this, which excited and educated so many people (more than 10,000 hits now). We will expand this project and we will continue the Henry website, but all of this will stall for a couple of months.

cheers Brad (on behalf of Henrys team!)

I have appreciated the effort put into this site. It has been such a unique opportunity to follow a free, wild creature right here in our own back yard. Will you be tagging anything else in our part of the world?
Also the diary should be made into a book, I loved the style of writing, by adding photgraphs and maps from your site the material is there. It could be sold through the zoo, seal bay, even the mueseum. Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity. from Barb G

I tried writing this on Henry’s website feed back form, I could type in the box back couldn’t send/ post it, no buttons are viewed in the separate feed back window to submit it.

Hi Barb, you need to read the next paragraph about the program to view and analyse the dive file…go back to where you downloaded the dive file and read the next paragraph. It works a treat for me!

Henry’s Dive Data (Zip File) 2.31Mb – You will need Winzip to unzip the file.

To analyise the data you will need a special program, available from the Widlife Computers website. You can also get the program manual from here.

Thank you Henry, I’ve look at your new competition. It’s a challenge. Having problems finding a program to read the dive data. Have downloaded it but windows can’t read it and is searching for a program to view it.
Keep writing your diary, it was a daily joy to read.
