What an adventure! Fi and Kieran headed out, Fi dropped out, Acajou joined in, we held a newborn lamb, spent a couple of hours hiking, and got within thirty metres of the hash point.

Don't you be touching my lambs!!!

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.

• 

  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?

• 

  The street sign points us to the Morgan Creek pine plantation.

• 

  This plantation was logged after parts were damaged in the 2009 bushfires.

• 

  We ascended quite a hieght in pursuit of the hash point

• 

  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:

• 

  Last night the sheep gave birth

• 

  So Acajou thrust one in Fi's arms

• 

  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.

• 

  The tree that stopped us

• 

  So we walked to Birti road

• 

  And gave up at this point, over that road side are brambles, and thirty metres or so into those brambles was the hash point

• 

  And here is Acajou :-)
