I've forgotten more, some of it is just being there. I had to work hard to see, -a shade of green, or a type of leaf, or the way a shadow shows the ground. They were very patient with me and the number of times I was shown then didn't see the next time, well. At the time, I was having fun, not studying for a paper. Even living the practical doesn't make it any easier from one aspect, because a white boy from suburbia would think he were hungry All the time. Some tricks of water, and bush-tucker, and I saved my own life a couple of times. But what I learned as Number 1. is, don't. Don't go without a radio or two-way, don't go without a bushman or aboriginal bush tribesman, don't rely on finding sufficient water, and basically don't go without proper preparation, and if not local, do let local Police know your intended route. 😇
