  • Max Basheer [1927-2025] was a South Australian football administrator, recognised in the AFL Hall of Fame. The year 1991 was marked with turmoil as the Adelaide Crows entered the newly-formed Australian Football League under Basheer’s SANFL Presidency.
  • The date would suggest that Attenborough may have been invited to attend the SANFL Grand Final on October 5th during his visit to Adelaide to promote the release of this book
  • David Attenborough is the world’s most famous naturalist, virtually inventing, then perfecting the nature documentary. He will turn 100 years of age on May 8th, 2026 [fingers crossed!!]
