Many an interesting post here from a while back. Got to thinking about all the ALAs across the wide brown land. Got to thinking of the arrogant FOI who took a CPL applicant out into the boondooks and had him forceland into a remote ALA. The nice gentleman informed the younger bloke of a fail for not mentioning the fact you must contact the owner of the ALA before you use it. (I know - it defies all logic and sense.) Anyway FOI gets out wanders over to a tree for a slash and a smoke. Meanwhile, very pissed off other party starts up, takes off, leaving a cross man to find his own way home.
