The first attempt. Fi and Kieran headed out to find the hash point. The map placed it just off a road in a pine plantation.
- 2009-08-30--36-146-1-car.JPG Turning off the sealed road, onto mud tracks, on a wet day, in a two wheel drive with bugger all clearance, what could go wrong?
- Image:2009-08-30--36-146-2-sign.JPG The street sign points us to the Morgan Creek pine plantation.
- 2009-08-30--36-146-3-logging.JPG This plantation was logged after parts were damaged in the 2009 bushfires.
- 2009-08-30--36-146-4-logging.JPG We ascended quite a hieght in pursuit of the hash point
- 2009-08-30--36-146-5-car-log.JPG There had been some tree fall in the recent storms
Eventually we realised we'd taken a wrong turn. Unfortunately there was no where to turn around safely, so we kept driving. After a 35km round trip we ended up were we started.
Fi didn't want to go again, so realising that Acajou's farm was nearby we went for coffee and a chat. Acajou introduced us tosome newborn lambs:

- 2009-08-30--36-146-13-fi-sheep.JPG So Acajou thrust one in Fi's arms
- 2009-08-30--36-146-11-kieran-sheep.JPG And one in Kierans.
As it happened Acajou was up for a fresh attempt at the Hash point, so back up the hill Acajou and Kieran went. Going in the right direction this time, we were eventually forced to walk.
