 I 've skirted round Marilinga/ Emu Fields over the years as they take a very dim view of visitors out that way & it is still heavily patroled ! Was a time I used to go out on the Nullabour to shoot Foxes but that ended with the market collapse in 1985 .

    Mate! it's no wonder they chose emu fields to do the tests ! It's the land God made in anger ! We used to go out on the Nullabour for the Fox season (about 3mths ) & make a years income ! there was nothing out there to keep em under control ! I took a 6mth contract Dogging on the SA /WA boarder once ,that was'nt bad (once the block heads in the WA police at Eucla found out that I had a permit to carry a high power rifle into WA ) I've always pitied the FPS people out there as i really think they must of done something really bad to be sent there ! They used to be out there for a fortnight at a time ! (mind you there was this Female FPS officer called Marion & even though Tracey was'nt in the picture in those days I might just leave it there )

    Mostly their shot as pests ,but there is a market for the meat in the pet food market !
