A day out on the farm....

So, the other day i went up to a national wildlife sanctuary to hang out with a buddy for a day and see a bit of the ozzie countryside. It is a national sanctuary of native plants and animals so Steve's job is to control weeds, fox's, feral cats, rabbits, wild pigs and goats as these animals compete and are slowley destroying the native plants and animals.

Here is the view from his front garden, he lives on the land, which is approx 5000 hectares of bush and nearly 18kms of riverside, which he has to patrol regularly and set traps etc.

Here i am with a 263 calibre rifle, it goes BANG and can accurately take out a rabbit from nearly a kilometre. Steve has to be really careful with this as if he misses, the bullet will keep travelling and is dangerous for another 4-5 kms.
