Australian Bush

Brian, I was just wondering if anyone had visited from this forum.
Rtiger2, Some of the places you intend to visit are well worth while, The Daintree and Cape York, Kakadu.
If you get further down some of the Islands are worth a visit, if you like 4wd then Fraser Island is a must.
There are lots of places off the beaten track to discover.
 
really must get out into the bush and use my heavyheart sheath combo. i need to buy a good psk and first aid kit before i start getting out and about though

I've lived a third of my life in South Africa before it got really bad, and almost a third in Australia. I must say, the Safari with its long veld, herds of buffaloes and majestic lions in R.S.A. seems way better than the dry hot continent. I'm totally biased!
Hey Chef, If you ever go to South Africa, you must visit Cape Town, The Lion Park in Johannesburg, and The Sun City a.k.a. The Lost City in i forgot where:p ... really beautiful!:thumbup:

Its hot but not that dry in North Queensland and NT, Bigocean
Sub tropical rainforest.
Tasmania is temperate woodland.
True there is lots of dry arid areas but plenty of variety as well.
Where was the missing third of your life spent?
I am guessing you are in Sydney on holidays at the moment?
 
I like the red heart the best.

Maybe they are in WA Forrie.
In Queensland they are a pest.
Farmers get a permit to shoot them down to reasonable numbers, you go onto farmers land and shoot them for free.
My nephew was in a Pro Roo shooting crew and was paid $1.00 per head, he was getting about 100 a night.
They used to leave them in the paddocks in days gone by, now that they process the meat in local abbatoirs some shooters are earning a fortune, several thousand a week.

Out of the estimated 40 million Kangaroo's in Australia.
This years Cull is around 7 million.
They are not really protected.

I don't know if that is the way I would phrase it, but I did get to spend days camping and hunting there last year. A few nights in "shearer's" cabins but most just out in the open.
That was my second trip down under and both will be memories of a lifetime. If you get a chance, GO!!
Now for those thinking they want to live there, think twice. Yes, it looks nice but be there for awhile and you will see that it is a totally different culture. Learn about it before you go. I'm too much of a shooter to be able to make the move. That and the fact that I believe in our Constitution and I'm not giving those rights up for anyone or anyplace!
Now if you get to go camping, remember, you may have a few visitors to your campsite and you wouldn't have here in the States.

That's a healthy looking Bungara Terrill - did you throw him on the fire for dinner?
