Cripes, Mike! Hey that's very, very generous. Thanks very much for your kind offer: it is most appreciated. Uh, see what YouCanTry says. What I need more than $$$s right now is TIME! 
I've built up a few thou in the kitty from ASX trades, so when (if?) I get the time i'll make more cameras. Time. I have VCE this year + Uni classes one day a week. There's 0ne camera up in the hills @ the mo' - hopefully we'll get to retrieve it this weekend. Oh, and MC kindly brought another cam back from Gippsland. That one caught stacks of Bobucks (again!) at a site where they'd never been recorded before. Hah, precious suirveys missed them! 
We reckon there's a population migration or range expansion underway and they could be displacing Common Brushies and Ringtails. Possibly it's an effect of climate change? Maybe even worth writing up? This shows auto cameras can turn in scientifically useful results, without involving exotic critters like Thylacines or whatever. 
Best - D.
