You must have seen a few Reds about also.
Where the animals seen in good nick?

That particular mission was 1972. Reds were scattered from Mt Anglem as far down as the Rakeahua head waters but not heaps.
There was no shortage of the wee grey buggers for sure and their condition was pretty good we thought,,quite a few however had those ear mites.
Someone mentioned a private hut? during our stint down through the Island we did come across several Biv's,some stocked with tinned tucker and those camps were well in and away from the coast itself,,,coon hunters I guess although I didn't know just who they were at that time.
The Island is a magic place,lets hope it stays that way eh.
cheers ghosts
