I would be worried about finding drop bears up there.
Its OK I had some vegemite smeared behind the ears to ward them off.
I work with a guy from Melbourne, and he told me that there's evidence some dropbears are growing attracted to vegemite.
Now, I don't know if there's any truth to that, be careful, ok? Really careful..
On the forehead.
Never really understood the insistence of putting it behind the ears....

We do have flatter land. Where my dad lives it feels like you could pour out a cup of water and it will spread out for a kilometer in every direction.
Were the inclined sections, like at the beginning, easier, or harder to climb than the more ladder-like sections?
Harder, the pins are just rebar, many are wobbly, they slope downwards and they are more spaced out than the ladder rungs, about a meter apart
