Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Australia Few Days In The Vic High Country

Managed to sneak up the Bush for a couple of days to getaway with the wife and visit a friend on a station 30km away from the nearest house surrounded in bush I love it up there didn’t do any serious hunting but carried the 500 nitro in case one appeared saw two spikeys on the way in but it was wet and cold so I left them for the missus to watch maybe next time

That is gorgeous country fella, much nicer than what I have access to.

Congratulate your wife on a good showing.

Just in case some of the site members do not know...35sambar has posted pictures of some of the finest stalking country in Australia.

Looks nice. Sounds very remote also. I’m sure I would enjoy it. Edk

Boy is that nice country!

Very interesting area. Looks like a fun trip. I've been in NSW, Queensland and N. Territory but never in this part of Australia.

Is that a Verney Carron?

Yes mate 500ne bloody nice rifle heavy! But I love it

I thought so, btw I handled the same cal at the Piotti brothers place at Gardone Val Trompia one afternoon. I have pics with the brothers somewhere.

Nice country and nice pics.

It’s a special rifle for me it was personally made by Jerome himself and my mate who I brought it off hunted twice with him in Africa with it Jerome also made him a 500/450 the same

That is some beautiful scenery; sharp looking rifle too 👍

Any fish in those waters ?

There is brown trout but to be honest it’s not the best river for fishing there is a lot of tannen in the water from all the tea tree other similar rivers nearby are a lot better for fishing access to them is difficult but you reap the rewards from that as they are untouched by the general public unless your dedicated! , I thought the best picture was the fact I had a gate opener! Lol !!

That is nice country. On my bucket list.
