[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 492744, member: 1414"] Steve, You've been doing long enough to know what you're doing, so this advice not intended for you. :D Met a German fella on Kimberley Downs Station who had fled Germany with his wife after WW2. His wife kept going after reaching Australia and he went bush and became a dogger. Sat for a few hours under a tree at Oobagooma Outcamp listening to his stories. One story was if a dingo escaped from a trap you would never catch him again! He covered his boots and hands with rotten meat smell when setting traps, don't believe you need to go to this extent or you won't have any visitors. :lol: The only income this fella got was the dingo bounty, he visited station homesteads who supplied him with his food and fuel for the old Austin Champ he was driving. Surprising how you never forget some people you meet out in the bush. Has crossed my mind whether he passed and was never found in the vast Kimberley outback. [/QUOTE]
