At the end of the logging trail, the group came to the summit of the escarpment, everyone was sore and tired from scaling the slopes up to the plateau. "Ok guys break fro lunch", said Adrian, everyone sat down in a huff and started unwrapping sandwiches and energy bars, and began eating. Tim walked up saw an incredible sight, hundred's of square kilometres of untamed wilderness, pulling out a compass he used it and said to the group "that is the direction we need to go" while pointing in the said direction. Sophie came up and said to Tim "out there, somewhere is where we'll find the animal", Tim nodded "it's only a matter of time". After a good 20min Adrian checked his watch it was coming close to mid-afternoon, everyone will have to work hard to get down into the forests and set up camp before night falls. "Ok guys let's go we need to set up base camp" said Adrian everyone groggily got up packed their remaining food and walked into the forest of myrtle beech and ferns.
It was roughly 4 o'clock Adrian thought that everyone had made good time "everyone we can stop now, we've made good distance and time start setting up your tents". Everyone took out pegs and mallots, started unrolling swags and started preparing wood for a fire. After a good dinner, Adrian looked at the photo of the creature they'll be striving to find. His gazing trance was broken when eerie snarks and howls erupted suddenly out of the surrounding forest, everyone stood up in alarm, clearly disturbed by the sounds, they sounded nearby. Liz asked worriedly "what was that", Tim replied "Tasmanian devils there must be a kill nearby". Adrian looked at his watch it was getting late "guys we should go to bed we've got a long day ahead tommorow", everyone agreed and slipped into their swags or tents and tried to go to sleep, the snarls were getting louder and more desperate everyone shuddered at the blood-curdling shrieks, this was going to be a long night.
