I guess it still does. About 16-17 years ago we came across a couple of guys spotlighting the road through to Rainbow, turned out one of our crew knew the driver. He worked on Hanmer farm, him and others used to light the easy country from Accomodation House thru to and on Rainbow Stn. quite often. Following year he drove into Hossack stn. to have a few beers with us. Hossack used to get poached too. Went in one time and some keen dude had towed a trailer and jet boat down to river flats opposite Dillon, fkn keen, must’ve known where gate key was. Neither Laurie or Mick knew they were in there. Same on St James stn. We were at Lake Guyon hut and come across horseback hunters with dogs who had come over Fowlers Pass. Fck, did old Jimmy have a fit over that, wanted the lot shot. Still gets poached in there too.
