Reminds me a lot of this guy's bike rides: http://www.jericsmith.com/hiddensub.htm keep on walkin'! If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!

It was fun. Here is a very short clip of Deathray Eyes The Drain Dog. I went for a walk over Easter. I will post it here very soon. Cheers, DOug FacialBook is killing online forums.

I didn’t really have much of clue about the town near where we were camping so I found a spare hour and went for a walk. I soon realised that the town was an old mining town There is a creek diversion tunnel. I couldn't figure out where the other end was, but I reached in and took this photo (the sound of falling water in the tunnel was deafening) And one for scale (it went deeper once I took a step inside) - I didn't have time to do it. Then as I just about reached the town I came across a drain. The Outlet The inlet is grilled off. There is an unusual feature just outside the inlet. It's a huge wheel (keep in mind that I am a touch under 2 meters tall) This really whetted my appetite so the next day I borrowed a topographic map from a friend and I found another hour for another walk. To save some time I drove to the other side of town where the map showed 8 mine sights. My walk didn’t go very well as I ended up surrounded by huge gum-trees and getting a bit freaked out by the, “thump, thump, thump” sounds I could hear. Within a few minutes I could hear thumping coming from 3 different directions. I stood with my back against a huge gum-tree and pulled out my camera a fraction too late as the thumping got closer and louder. Suddenly 3 giant kangaroos went bounding bye. I finally got to the edge of the bush where farm-land started and realised that I had missed the mines altogether, however I noticed that down the hill there was some kind of mine entrance. This town snows over in the winter so I won’t be back for awhile. Seeming as though I really didn't get to check anything that I found out, I might get a few people to head back to do some exploring there. I’ve also heard about a couple of other things out that way that I wouldn’t have heard about if I didn’t start the ball rolling by going for a walk Cheers, Doug FacialBook is killing online forums.

I think there has been a walk on each of the pages in this thread, but I think it was on the first page where I was trying to find a dam that relates to this post. Well today I went for another walk! As per usual I will bore you with the whole trip I started off at the usual spot and thought (again)... geez they're big! Got held up here for a few minutes... eventually took a risk and decided to 'GO' The first thing that I noticed was that there was plenty of things to eat if the need arises... I knew security may be a problem. The first level of security (once I hopped over a 2ft wire farm fence) were the Power Cows! But I was expecting them so I had worn green and black... the two colours that Power Cows can't see. I also new that security cows were known for leaving land-mines for the unskilled explorer... I had to carefully watch each step! The next level of security was the Wild Ram Posse, *but once they saw that I wasn't from New Zealand they realised that they had no gripe with me... * Obscure in-joke about how Aussie's say that New Zealanders root sheep (and of course they say we root sheep). I then had to get by a barbed wire cyclone fence so I needed to bribe the next line of security... The Wild Australian Bush Brumby Security Company. The took their bribe and were cool with me. I then spent about ten minutes watching a wedge tail eagle looking for prey. All joking aside, it was a pretty cool situation... me sitting on the banks of a private river chilling with these white horses and watching this amazing bird! I heard what I thought was a truck, however it turned out to be a helicopter (they don't come around here unless there is a bush-fire and it did a lap of the area I was in (scared the eagle away ), hovered for a minute and took off. I then came across a weird wooden wall that didn't seem to have a practical use other than blocking the view of what was on the other side. I then saw it... THE DAM! It wasn't what I was expecting, but at least it as in my sight! And to top it off, I was on the wrong side to get on to (or into?) the structure) I did see something that is likely to see me return with a rubber boat... The tunnel doesn't look very big, but it's about 15ft high... You can see how close it is to the dam (tunnel to the right) I then saw another group of kangaroos, walked all the way back to my car, attempted to clean off the remains of the four landmines I skidded through, and went home! I enjoyed this walk immensely! Cheers, Doug. FacialBook is killing online forums.

I got slightly side-tracked but I wasn't really in a rush (as you may have guessed by the other 'walks' in this thread). Well this walk has finally been completed. Last weekend iD & Dirge came down my way and I WE WENT FOR A WALK! We started off at the usual spot and thought (again)... geez they're big! Got held up here for a few minutes... we eventually took a risk and decided to 'GO' The signs told us that we were on the right track... Have a look at Dirge's welfare style trousers held up with an ocky strap Then suddenly out of the blue iD & Dirge spotted it - "There it is!" We thought about climbing over... ...but saw this bullet-ridden sign and decided against it... ...THIS TIME ;) FacialBook is killing online forums. secretdestroyers  Location: Burlington VT Gender: Male  |  Re: I went for a walk... <Reply # 52 on 7/20/2010 7:58 AM >   very cool. keep it up SD F this I"m going exploring!
