I remember the lantana then - also that there was lots of water in Crows Nest Falls. So I took George to the falls in May a couple of years ago, telling him how nice they were going to be...bone dry, of course.
yeah, same area, but the areas that were a bit green then are solid green now, and the white is now pretty lantana infested as well. good news is that the new property manager is a) keen to get rid of the lantana, and b) happy to have us running there as much as we like.
crows nest falls would be absolutely cranking atm. the whole map was flowing with water, and there were big marshy areas on the slopes. very un-qld.
I remember Easter 1995 well, and the 1997 WOC trials better, mostly for negative reasons - (a) not getting picked and (b) being in the car hit by an out-of-control motorbike on the way back (Ben was driving and handled the situation with an impressive lack of panic for a 19-year-old, in a situation where panic could easily have seen us on the roof or worse). Good area though if it loses the lantana.
