Thanks Spook, Unfortunately I can no longer edit or delete the post, but as I said to you in private email the point of my post was to highlight how the first creek is not the access to the hunting block.

Made a classic rookie mistake and was wanting to post so that others new to hunting and the area did not make the same mistake. The first river seen on the permit is the one around the bend further that runs up the south boarder of this forestry block which I wrongfully crossed. As I stated in my post when I realised this, I was quick smart out of there and into the native bush. As I also stated going into here should be with the permission of the land owner who, has good reason to pick and chose who he gives permission to, especially with that house right there (Always check your firing zone).

As I said to you spook, not to defend my stuff up, but it'd be cool if there was a sign at that river stating "this river leads to private land so keep on walking fella", but a careful look at the permit and the map should also rule out getting off the permitted area. Lesson well and truly learnt.
