[QUOTE="Pete E, post: 660321, member: 18110"] Interesting thread...I have never been to Oz but have spent a limited amount of time in the South African bush plus a hell of amount of time outdoors here in the UK. I am pretty good with a Topo map and compass, reasonably familiar with GPS and over all consider myself to have a good sense of direction. All that said, having watched a fair few programs about Oz, the thought of venturing off grid would make me very nervous indeed...A lot of the landscape seems relatively flat and featureless, with the scrub in front of you looking pretty much like the scrub behind you...I can easily imagine how easy it it is to get turned around even relatively close to your vehicle....
