Excellent report.
I've spent a fair bit fo time chasing pigs through that forest, we used to enter from Minginui.
Aussie camping! TAKE everything haha, awesome.
Cheers.
We went in through Minginui RB. Yes when all you need to do is get out of the car and set up there is no real reason to rough it. Save that up for time in the middle.Quote:

Although a good trek and fly camping is still fun
If you can drive there and enjoy a few of life's luxuries then why not.
When we fly in for the roar, we take two chopper trips. Costs a bit more but want for nothing
Leathal, Sako 75, you guys are on to it. Anyone can be uncomfortable but it does not take much effort to be comfortable.
great to see you guyz out there tuffin it out in the bush :P
might have to get me some of them big red shed crocs some day .... NOT :ORLY:
better luck next time eh
Oh bugger, I was at whirinaki at the same time (Upper Mangamate), if I knew you boys were there we would have dropped in for a beer.
We choose the ''uncomfotable way'' to camp lugging our shit 16km into the bush for 4 days solid hunting and I didn't even so much as spook an animal! So you guys did far better than me.

It would be a pleasure having you at the camp fire KJ.Quote:

Which famous actress said "Where is the best place and only place men should be allowed to wear crocs?"Quote:

Nice work Phillipgr It was such a mint time. Less hunting more chilling & exercise with rifles. Highlight of trip was hearing Rushy ate a caterpillar off of a wragwort plant- singed the hairs off with a lighter. Now that is commitment! And also possibly toxic due to host plant.
Cheers Rushy for a great weekend.
Phillip thanks for the health attack whilst climbing the hill. Nothing like a rewarding smoke at the end of a long hill for a non smoker (outside hunting trips) to regulate the oxygen/carbon monoxide saturation levels.
The caterpilla was an easy eat Brycey but I could go a shit load more of those bugs you caught as that little sucker tasted like caramel.Quote:
