Bushman's Hole Request Help

stephen · 18th October 2005, 15:58

I wonder if anybody in the community could help me.

I am a TV documentary maker researching the Bushman's Hole story in Australia for the UK network Channel Four. This was the story where, a year ago, diver Dave Shaw died at the bottom of a 925 foot hole while attempting to recover the body of a previous diver, Deon Dryer.

I am very keen to make contact with some of the key figures involved in the story, among them British diver John Shirley, underwater cameraman Derek Hughes, and filmmaker Gordon Hiles.

If anybody could give me clues on how to reach any of these people - or others associated with the story - I would be most grateful. By all means, email me directly at stephen.walker@bluebirdfilms.co.uk

Many thanks indeed,

Stephen Walker

The ABC's "Australian Story" did a programme on Dave's death.

I'm sure that if you were to contact the ABC they could put you in contact with that series' producer.
