Thread: Bettison Stream Tahr Hunt

Yeah, we walked down from the Bettison camp site on the true right, under the bluffs through the scrub climbing up onto the boulder field and then down the track to the hut… from memory it was 4.2 km as the bird flew from campsite to hut but dam it took 11 hours.

As we walked through that massive boulder field on the ridge my mate dislodged a table sized rock that came down towards him, if he hadn’t of moved as fast as he did it would have crushed his leg and he’d be an amputee for sure, there was no way I could have moved that rock.

Walking in from the hut would be even tougher!

My mate and I have never forgotten that trip.
