Decided he could do something with it, and would hang the occasional dead roo in a net bag over one end. Roo gets flyblown and a steady stream of maggots would fall into the water to feed the fish that lived there. Never short of fresh fish...Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597195253707815694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-43058248284118095242011-10-05T21:26:42.237+11:002011-10-05T21:26:42.237+11:00Possibly, because the billabong is professionally ...Possibly, because the billabong is professionally landscaped with iconic river red gums, the scourge of the osier was overlooked. How many inviting waters are now inaccessible behind barricades of sallow rampant? However, there is whisper of a fair wind in the willows, in the guise of a green grub.

A memorable trek, especially as the January weather ranged from sleet to baking sunshine to thick mist on Ftop and a thunder storm at Hotham to end our day.
