The man had pulled up in a four-wheel drive hauling a trailer, his clothes stained with sweat, and asked about camping spots. Robert and his fellow sprayers had a joke to darkly about the man's resemblance to infamous Australian serial killer Ivan Malat, whose crimes were covered in episode 109 of Case File.

Later, Robert spotted the same vehicle at a nearby campground known as Buck's Camp, which was a small group of sites on Dry River. It was reversed deep into the bushes with only its bull bar visible, as though its owner wished to remain unseen.

As Russell Hill neared the end of his drive to the Wanangatta Valley, he was followed for a time by two friends who had travelled down from Sydney to spend a few days foraging for mushrooms. Frustrated by Russell's slower driving, the two men tried to overtake him without success. They were relieved when the Land Cruiser finally turned into Buck's Camp.

The Bucks campsite held personal significance to Russell Hill. 25 years earlier, Russell's cousin Gary Hill had been in the area hunting with his nephew. During this ill-fated trip, Gary's nephew had mistaken his uncle for a deer and shot at him with his .35 caliber rifle. The shot was fatal and Gary died instantly.

The shooting was ruled accidental, with Gary's nephew blaming buck fever, a term to describe a hunter's rash impulse to shoot. But the death left its mark on the Hill family, and a white cross had been installed at nearby Hilley's Camp to commemorate Gary. It featured a memorial plaque engraved with the warning, ''Not every stag under a rub tree is a deer.''

The tragedy had shaped Russell Hill's views on firearms. He'd surrendered his inherited shotgun during a gun amnesty and never owned another. Yet, Russell's respect for gun safety didn't extend to other regulations. He brazenly ignored prohibitions on cutting snow gun for firewood, dismissing Ranger's warnings with a curt, I don't give a fuck.

He'd also brought along a Mavic drone, the use of which violated the park rule about flying without permits. Russell camped by his own code. Russell parked his Land Cruiser just left of the Bucks camp entrance. There was one other campsite already set up in the prime spot next to the river entrance, so he'd have to make do with a less desirable spot inland.

Russell insisted on top-of-the-range camp gear and had packed a Black Wolf turbo tent, a portable fridge freezer, sturdy chairs, and a proper table. Instead of sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag, he had a comfortable mattress with a blue doona.
