My colleague being more experienced knew the shit show would have already begun as we were already many hours late to the minder from SCA, so he knew we needed to push what we hoped was the right direction. After a couple of hours of walking into trees or falling over unseen obstacles the darkness began to lighten as the stars did there magic once the over head foliage disappeared as we entered an area that it seemed had experienced bushfire in the past year or so. This allowed us to pick up the pace until we finally headed to a distant light we could see. Eventually we came across a farm fence which we jumped over and the light was from some sort of farm storage facility. At least we had reached civilisation. From here we could hear occasional traffic noise so headed this direction and eventually could see distant headlight so knew we were near a road. As soon as we got through the last fence before the road we stuck our thumbs out at the first passing car which screeched to a halt. I remember thinking the driver must be pretty confused seeing two guys in wetsuits with blackened faces( limited vision in burnt out area does this) trying to hitch hike in the middle of nowhere.

First km was smooth rafting but that quickly changed to treacherous falls and almost impassable river gum vegetation strewn among large boulders, it was extremely tough going especially trying to haul our raft through such dense bush. We would use a very very primitive gps by todays standards, that was the most expensive available at the time to record where sensors were left and where recordings were taken, but its batteries died super quick and we were onto the last replacements we had brought as the sun started disappearing behind the cliffs of the steep ravine we were in. We had by this stage only made it barely 2km so were a good 6km downstream to where we'd left one vehicle and 2km upstream where the vehicle was left when we started. I was a naive youngster who didn't realise this was becoming a serious problem but luckily the older scientist I was working with knew we had to get out the ravine with what little light was left. I looked either side of the river at 40 story walls of vertical rock face and must admit I thought the younger, fitter me would struggle how the f is this 50+ year old climbing up these cliffs. He was smart enough to know that even On very steep cliffs in times of heavy flooding they will often be a slight indent in the cliff where water would've been making its way over the cliff and that this was gonna be the easier type of rockclimbing to get to the top, it was very dangerous and crazy but we both got to the top of the cliff just after darkness descended on this moonless night and now could not see more than a couple of metres in front of you.",

My colleague being more experienced knew the shit show would have already begun as we were already many hours late to the minder from SCA, so he knew we needed to push what we hoped was the right direction. After a couple of hours of walking into trees or falling over unseen obstacles the darkness began to lighten as the stars did there magic once the over head foliage disappeared as we entered an area that it seemed had experienced bushfire in the past year or so. This allowed us to pick up the pace until we finally headed to a distant light we could see. Eventually we came across a farm fence which we jumped over and the light was from some sort of farm storage facility. At least we had reached civilisation. From here we could hear occasional traffic noise so headed this direction and eventually could see distant headlight so knew we were near a road. As soon as we got through the last fence before the road we stuck our thumbs out at the first passing car which screeched to a halt. I remember thinking the driver must be pretty confused seeing two guys in wetsuits with blackened faces( limited vision in burnt out area does this) trying to hitch hike in the middle of nowhere. He wasn't though he was one of the SCA staff assigned to the search party looking for us. It was 1am, quite an unforgettable day.",
