This country is directly to the east of my house, I lease 130 acres of it to winter my horses, but it all belongs to the State Forests, my nearest neighbors.
Anyone wanting to lease blocks of country from the Forestry is allowed to fence it, create dams and run livestock on it. A block of 130 acres costs around $1000.00 per year.
The only restrictions are no dwellings are to be built on the land, though plenty set up permanent camp sites with a caravan (trailer) and generator.
Hunting is not a problem provided protected fauna is left alone.
My walk today is to go about 1 ½ miles due east of the house to a fire trail maintained by the rural fire brigade, they are a great bunch of fellas who have saved our bacon more than once in the past fire seasons.
First pic of the SJ-tac just after leaving home.
The second of my mate, getting a puff up already, weve only traveled a couple of hundred yards so far.
The third pic is of a typical Australian bush setting, the broad leaved grasses is of the coastal Gymea Lilly, (Doryanthes) in flower it has a long stalk with a very beautiful large red flower.
The fourth pic of the Jacks, were about a mile east of home here.
Fifth pic looking down into light timbered bush.
Sixth, a pic of my mate, wishing he could find a watering hole or a creek for a drink.

Shure looks tempting.
