I work with one of my mates dad, Steve Coulter who owns Weld on Wheels who is contracted to catchment and has put the gates in at the crossover and all the fences out there. I was there last about3 weeks back and we put the new fence up stopping 4wds getting up to the old homestead. Im not a fan of the old cop shop bit of an eerie place i think. I probably stay at the police station once every month or 2 so i might catch you out there one day. |

However sometimes we use the wollondilly or butchers huts for accomodation,

Steve was saying that you guys were doing alot of research on the lacies. I always see them around the gumtree to the left of the generator shed. I think we will be out there again in the next few weeks. Last time we were there we caught Marty the caretaker (who left the other day) growing some plants LOL. |

We don't want the monitors that hang around campsites homsteads etc as there home range is affected by the food availability. Yes that monitor pictured is the one from the genny shed.
The UNI has also done this GPS work on dingoes and pigs in the same area! |

He must have ripped them out before he ctopped getting access. He also stole all our bags of cement from out the front of the police station. Steve was also saying he thought you guys were testing the monitors thinking they may have mild venom in their saliva. |
