[QUOTE="jethro, post: 573251, member: 1297"] Way back in the dark ages of 1980 our yr10 school camp was at Howman's Gap near falls creek in Victoria's high country. Back then the High plains Cattlemans Huts were well looked after and frequented by Cattlemen, Hikers and Xcountry Skiers alike, Most had diaries or visitors Books. One particular Hut that we visited had a diary with entries over multiple days of a hiker that had been Bitten by a Red Bellied Black snake. He had decided to wait for help from other hikers rather than chance being caught in the elements and dying of exposure. He made multiple entries in the huts diary and from the deteriorating hand writing it was clear that at the height of the effects of the bite he was quite ill. He must have been shaking quite badly as his writing was very jagged and shakey. It took him about 3to 4 days to get better to the point he could walk out with company. [/QUOTE]
