There were vehicles going in all directions. Police have come in from Mansfield and Marysville as they're used to this sort of terrain.
Janette mobilised some ladies to make scones and she made sandwiches. I went back up the top for another look. This time there were police 4WDs there so I just looked along the inside of the fenceline.
