I was up the high country of Victoria photographing brumbies, I was taking pictures of the brumbies . When I heard a snort from a stallion behind me,15ft away from me snorting and digging the ground here was this amazing animal I couldn’t move just take in his beauty
thanks margaret – I have ridden brumbies, and know that country – magic! When I watch the movie The Man from Snowy River – I could smell it – as if I was right back there.
Yes magic country and the brumbies make it I read this wrong u have to have the worst scenario on a adventure well if it would have been dark and u run in to a stallion well u would have need this light …lol
thanks margaret
I was hiking at the mountains and it was getting dark.
I decided to stop at a refuge for the night and when i went out to go to the ‘toilet” and i reached the place i heard a strange noise coming from behind me. I turned and i saw a snake…
Yes that is a classic! thanks for sharing the story
Things were getting hot and heavy with this sexy stranger who spoke no English. His hand traveled down and I panicked as I realized my crotch-stubble was growing out. I mumbled something, quick-grabbed my solar light and tweezers and ran out before his tongue could graze my prickly pear.
🙂
I don’t hike, I rarely camp, and I am never at a loss for basic visibility… but, being a travel artist, I am ALWAYS in need of a lamp! There is literally no proper, evenly distributing household light-bulb in existence in this whole world, so to bring my own is the only option.
thanks for that Zoe
