John

I have been lost in the mallee a couple of times(only for a few hours, butlong enough to loosen my bowels!) in exactly the way that you describe,criss crossing the track to chase a special bird, then going deep into thescrub and not knowing which side of the track I am on and therefore notknowing which way to walk. This is 20 years ago and since then I am verycareful. Compass reading when leaving the track even when catching aglimpse of possible sought after species that has to be pursued. Usually aGPS location for car and precheck batteries before I go!


So far, so good!

Gary
