see .how dangerous the bush is. people can get lost ,get shot ,many many things can happen,thats why i never go bushwalking.
Let's not beat about the bush, this man needs to have a bounty posted on him - wanted dead or alive. Of course that is not the politically-correct thing to do in this day and age.
Hi Ron,What about all the cases of mistaken identity ?
Dead or Alive! you want to hope you dont resemble this bloke in any shape or form!
A silly, silly comment.
Do the sensible thing people, report sightings to the police.
Best wishes to the officer and his family.
