    13 4WDs bloody hell... That track will be in worse condition than a drunks boxers after a dodgy curry spiked with laxatives. Chimps in men costumes...

    It's people like this that really lend support to the argument that for a year or two we should just take the warning stickers off everything and let nature take it's course.

    And survivor Richard Cranium said he and another survivor Wayne Kerr had huddled together to keep warm because the party leader Mr R Sole would not let them attempt to walk out.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    What do you think it would be like at our old family digs?

    Been seriously thinking of doing a summer quad ride across the range from Roxy


    There is a memorial at Gorge Creek remembering all the miners lost on the range in the great snow of 1863
    HILLBILLYHUNTERS and sometimes like this.

    Dunno if you would get thru mate, I went up and over a couple of years ago with a mate on two wheel bikes and the holes were pretty bad then (never again we said). They will be even worse now I'd wager. I drive to the top and walk these days.
    I know the memorial, very sad that those men perished.

    My Great Great Grandfather crossed the range a few times in the 1870s, 80s and early 90s.
    They carried his brothers body back to Teviot for burial
    The miners would clear out of the hills before winter settled in and back as the thaw started

    Nah you'd be sweet on a quad, especially thru summer months. I've done it on mx bike 10-12 times and a Yamaha rhino a couple of times.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
