In a bed and breakfast on the edge of a vast wilderness four friends eat breakfast, today was a good day it was the day these four would start their expedition, to prove the existence of an impossible creature. Adrian the leader of the group said with a loud voice "come on guys lets get packing", everyone grumbled but got up and packed their camping gear and met outside the "B and B" there they caught a lift to the hiking track, it wasn't really a track more like a disused logging track and one of the few places that can take someone up to the remotest regions of the Tasmanian Wilderness which was perfect for the groups objective. The blistering climb soon followed, as soon as they were a fair way up the slope Adrian stated "ok guys break for 15" everyone sat down eagerly taking drinks from their canteens. The others were called Sophie, Tim and Liz they were all eager to await their instruction. Adrian addressed everyone "Ok guys now we are a, fair way from civilisation I can tell you what we are here for" everyone knew each other well and had an idea on what was coming next. "We are here to retrieve evidence of this", Adrian pulled out a photo, "This is Thylacinus Cynocephalus of course better known as the Tasmanian tiger", everyone started giggling and smiling in excitement. "NOW" everyone ceased talking, "this animal was common on the island till at least the 30's to 40's, I chose this region, because the Central Plateau was where the best concentration of these animals were on the island, it was where the most captures and sightings were" everyone nodded understanding. "Okay so if this animal stills exists it will be elusive and exceedingly rare, to find it (or any evidence for that matter) we'll need to be up here for a long time and be tested to the limit of human endurance." everyone nodded grimly, "um question" said a voice, it was Sophie "do the national parks know we're up here?" "Yes, we've organized a permit to camp and conduct research up there and the authorities no our co-ordinates, " answered Adrian. "Right everyone the search begins NOW", everyone got up enthusiastically and continued the difficult climb.
