Some of the typical bush in the area. Open country, perfect for flatter shooting scoped medium bores.

Looks easy to drive or walk but the countyside and also the tracks were absolutely full of small "sink holes" in the dry earth. Very dangerous walking if you did not look where you walked and breaking an ankle quite possible. No running here. What causes these "sink holes", differential contraction of the black soils (?), limestone base and drainage points through the limestone (?) - even the owner did not know ( ).

Driving through this country was not really possible. It took us a couple of hours to cross 3 kilometres of a rough "track" on the Western boundary. Did see a nice herd of pigs and younguns, but they were off before shots could be taken.



Closer to the river. More grass but not much sign. Taller trees, a great place to camp if one has the wish.

Looks green but not good feed.





The area on the other side of the bend was a long peninsular in the river's bend. Lots of weeds, bushes and trees. Plus uneven ground. Nearby the irrigated fields which were a non-shooting area but very good feed.

We suspected the pigs near the river camped in this bend during the day hidden. Spent one morning scouting the bend but did not prove this theory.
