Mickey its a good read that book and tells plenty about the hardships of the "Top End" buff camps from the old days.

Its only now that these animals are considered something to shoot compared to when they were simply rounded up as in the first pic and slaughtered for the meat/pet food industries,hundreds and hundreds of thousands were killed and a lot of fella`s just went out and shot em for a bit of fun, the word is they are being bred for the o/s hunters by some of the operators and the word "pen" can sometimes be brought into the story by some of the unscrupulous operators, wink, wink..........
