Wow. Busy.

Are they flying people from the Nelson College camp?

That last pic takes me back many years, parked my 73 Statesman there & got a less than average note left on it from the farmer at the time, we used to hunt the Mole alot, never forget shooting 4 by mistake & two trips out in one day with ALL the meat, getting out of the Statemen in Richmond at my mates place & not being able the walk :XD:

Or the time we went in late on Friday after work, slept in the rough in the bush on the way up the river, got up to the Mole hut REAL early on Saturday morning only to have a chopper hunting there (numbers covered), the prick even went over to Bull Creek & shot a deer out from under my mate ( National park NO chopper hunting ) so we buggered off back home, those were the the days 35-38 years ago....I'm getting old :)

Amazing what you remember :D

Nice one @Kiwi Greg. Dad has a cool picture of him outside the original Mole hut knee deep in snow over Xmas it would be late 70's early 80's. I too have spent a bit of time in that area.

@Kiwi Greg

Cool memories, couldnt imagine climbing up twice in one day to the tops and carring a deer out well done no matter what age....

I struggled on the uphill, old age catching up. Couple of photos of mole hut for you.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...02cde32602.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...140619d752.jpg

Pretty unlikely you would see snow like that over Xmas these days.

Funny how things change....I would never cart sausage meat 3 hours on my back now ...never ever... :) ....ever

Well you might be sensible. Old habits die hard. My mind boggles at the stuff my father pulls out of his pack. I like fresh food but he takes it to the extreme.
