sounds like you had some fun. got any pics of your trip??

there are enough dogs to keep 3-4 dog trappers employed most year round between eildon and corryong.

the last five years has seen a decrease in feral animal control and increased numbers of brumbys and lots of dogs. a major issue for the local native animals and also landholders adjoining parks/bushland.

i have been in a couple of close encounters, once near little plain on south of mt fainter and there were a few scared students. also near mt speculation was a nasty incident with sticks, rocks and some high speed trangia equipment.

i think if you travel in a group its better and also making lots of noise. I did notice some dog tracks on buller north ridge two weeks ago in the snow. but also plenty of wombats and foxes.
