They should also outline their needs for National Parks and other permits, the Station Director may be able to assist in getting them. Researchers, especially long-term ones, are requested to contribute labour towards the station's operation where needed, and should also be prepared to give talks to the general public on aspects of their research and interests. The Research station is dependent upon user's fees for its operation. Fees will change, so prospective visitors should enquire about these when writing to the station. To a certain degree, fees are levied on the ability to pay.
All food is provided, and the evening meal is catered.
However, if you have trouble meeting these charges, please advise the Director before arriving - so other rates can be negotiated. The situation does not offer a great deal of social stimulus and most human companionship is provided by the research station staff and visitors. The station itself is compact with little separation between living and working areas. During the wet season, conditions are very humid, requiring additional care in the handling of food, books and papers, and any cuts or wounds to the skin. Visitors to the station should be flexible and open to learning.
