Sometimes those great trees are out in the middle of a paddock

I totally nearly had a heart attack my second trip to Mount Banks, there I was, hiked 15 minutes into the middle of nowhere, with all my gear setup, just on the tail end of dusk, I look up in the gloom and there is someone standing right in front of me!
We scared each other hehe.
he was the loveliest guy, who had been out taking photos on the other side of Mount Banks and we shared photos and tales for about 30 minutes.
It still doesnt help when you are in the pitch black.

Last time I was down Wilson's prom way I'd done some google scouting like I do on most trips, there was one property I was keen on getting access to, the land also happened to be near a building (turned out to be farm house) so when I went past during the day I decided to stop in, explain what I do and asked if I could go on his land (I was also worried about potential for a bull being in the paddock) he was fine with it, I offered to email him some pics and when I got home I did (I never got a reply).
From that experience I will try and ask for permission in future apart from looking at you a bit funny most people won't mind and anyone that would mind I don't think I'd like to be found on their land late at night uninvited |
Thanks for sharing guys! so it's one or the other. I'm inclined to agree with you Matt, I definately don't want to come across an
farmer.
The other thing I'm afraid of is what if someone like Chris "hotspur" has laid traps to catch vermin or dingos and I step in one
oh boy a world of pain! As for the Bull, well I come from "The Land Of The Running Of The Bulls" Pamplona in the Basque Country so I guess I'm qualified for that event
