G'day all
Along the gorge creek-bed, it's as dry-aza-bone and each step needs to be taken carefully

As always, feedback welcome

Shows how dangerous it cab Phil - especially for us frail old farts. I love the light in this one.I Shoot A Canon

Thanks fellas .... and the lens has made it look much worse than it really was ~ there was plenty of dirt to place ones feet between the rocks, and all that stuff
As it often the case (with me "out there") if I stop a while and ponder "if I were lost, which way would I go to get out?" - it always occurs that 'jeez- I really would not like to be lost on the bush'. While it's easy to follow the sun, how would you know where you've already been once you're in the bush with few if any landmarks

When I was in my early teens, my younger brother and I went looking for a creek we knew was a fairly short distance from, and roughly parallel to, a bush track. It would have been less than 1km. We found the reasonably wide and deep creek, and turned to go back to the track - only to come to another creek, which had us really puzzled until we realised we had walked in a semi-circle and were back at the same creek. It was extremely disorienting and a strange feeling to walk the "wrong" way to get back.
I wonder what would have happened if it had been a narrow, shallow creek.

I can look at that track and know I would walk along it and trip. It just has that feeling for me and I am very clumpsy so I would be the one falling for it .
But I still would like to walki it all the same.Comment

Google Maps?
Try this one for size ...
You are 1/2-km from town and for a 360 degree swivel, every direction looks the same. The town is quiet - no traffic noise, no people noise ... where's "out"?
You and I may be experienced in the bush - others may not be. Perhaps we can look at the shadows and put together a spacial image in our brain ... but what happens when it's heavy overcast and we can't see shadows? -- it's always been a theoretical problem looking for a solution

The bush photo is just like the Mallee country each tree looks the same as the one down a little bit.
And this is why I have got myself a GPS and I also have a free one on my phone and since having them I have been able to get back to the car.
We are very flat here and one way to try not getting lost is use the sun and this has worked for me a few times as well.
I hate getting lost which I have done a few times. So making things work my way is the smart way.
