favourite bush poems everyone? I think of this one every time I see evidence of old farm stuff when I'm bushwalking.
Bukaroo by Lawson:
>Only one old post is standing —
>Solid yet, but only one —
>Where the milking, and the branding,
>And the slaughtering were done.
>Later years have brought dejection,
>Care, and sorrow; but we knew
>Happy days on that selection
>Underneath old Bukaroo.

>Then the light of day commencing
>Found us at the gully’s head,
>Splitting timber for the fencing,
>Stripping bark to roof the shed.
>Hands and hearts the labour strengthened;
>Weariness we never knew,
>Even when the shadows lengthened
>Round the base of Bukaroo.

>There for days below the paddock
>How the wilderness would yield
>To the spade, and pick, and mattock,
>While we toiled to win the field.
>Bronzéd hands we used to sully
>Till they were of darkest hue,
>‘Burning off’ down in the gully
>At the back of Bukaroo.

>When we came the baby brother
>Left in haste his broken toys,
>Shouted to the busy mother:
>‘Here is dadda and the boys!’
>Strange it seems that she was able
>For the work that she would do;
>How she’d bustle round the table
>In the hut ’neath Bukaroo!

>When the cows were safely yarded,
>And the calves were in the pen,
>All the cares of day discarded,
>Closed we round the hut-fire then.
>Rang the roof with boyish laughter
>While the flames o’er-topped the flue;
>Happy days remembered after —
>Far away from Bukaroo.

>But the years were full of changes,
>And a sorrow found us there;
>For our home amid the ranges
>Was not safe from searching Care.
>On he came, a silent creeper;
>And another mountain threw
>O’er our lives a shadow deeper
>Than the shade of Bukaroo.

>All the farm is disappearing;
>For the home has vanished now,
>Mountain scrub has choked the clearing,
>Hid the furrows of the plough.
>Nearer still the scrub is creeping
>Where the little garden grew;
>And the old folks now are sleeping
>At the foot of Bukaroo.

scotland looks comfy, do you peak bag or just walk for fun? I'm the aussie from before, we have a nice system of mountain huts which are kinda similar to your bothies.
I guess it makes sense that you still see people considering how densely populated britain is. Are there any areas in scotland that would qualify as wilderness - like no tracks, buildings, etc. Or is it all developed to some degree?
