Some Scenes from
the Bundian Route Survey
A survey of the Bundian Way commenced in August 2010
and the first on-ground work began on the Snowy River during October.
The survey crew comprising Derek Davison, Warren Foster, Quentin
Aldridge and John Blay were joined by Chris Allen (second from right) to
assist with the wildlife side, especially in Koala surveys. The crew
rotated from leg to leg.
Work will continued into Byadbo and across the Monaro
to Twofold Bay, and completed in November 2011. The project now moves into
another phase.
This is wild country all right.
A copy of the survey report 2010-2011 is now
available.

The country round the Snowy
River is about as wild and perilous as you can find anywhere. Amazingly
enough, you don't have to be a Man from the Snowy River to find your way
through. The old pathway always seems to find the easiest route. |

Scenes from the
cypress-White Box country. At one point an early settler fence still
stands beside the pathway. It is said to date from the days of Ben Boyd
during the 1840s. |

The pathway through Byadbo
is mostly well defined. Cattlemen were shown the route and have used since
the days of first settlement. |

Yamfields are evident
throughout the district during springtime. Early Nancies are a feature on
the grasslands of Merambego, where flocks of Emus still roam.. |
