-FIRST OMB DANCE OF TEE SEASON2+We wished to show our visitor, Eileen Bass of the Tararua Club, something of the Blue Mountain scenery, our trees, birds , etc., and decided to go through the Grand Canyon, round to the Junction, out to Blue Gum and back to Govetts Leap - a fairly ambitious walk for what we expected to be a hot February Sunday.

It was too dark to see a foot awaybut deciding that if you were going to be early half an hour was nothingI lent an encouraging voice, and up we gotBreakfast was prepared by the light of a blazing fire and the weak assistance of a pale new moon that slowly raised itself over the nearest hill. By the time we had eaten and packed our gear it was quite high and we set off back to the Evans Look Out road to leave our packs for the taxi manto collect and take into Blackheath. We offer no apology for what may be considered weakness by some of the "tough" members of the club, but consider our action in this regard inspired by a genius. It was a pure delight to spend the day with just a tiny pack containing lunch.

We had with us two scientifically minded young women who were a great help in supplying names of the various shrubs, ferns, etc. on the route. Two of the party were photographers, and with pictures to be taken and botanical specimens to be examined, we pursued a leisurely pace.

His early walking activities were entirely in the racing direction. Someone from the N.S.W. Walking Club picked him out from a number of his school mates as something out of the ordinary and suggested he should join the Club. He did so in 1921and in 1922 he proved the discernment of his nominator by winning the 20 miles championship. Since the he has won about 20 championships, both Club and State. At present he holds the State 32 to 50 miles track-walking, and the Australian record for 24 hours. He also held for some while the Australian 50 miles championship, but a Victorian subsequently made better time on the same test.

-Scenery being one of the main attractions of bushwalking it may seem trange that Gordon has taken only two important walks far afield, one to Barrington and one to Tumut and Kosciusko. The explanation is that what he has seen of other +

- +
-is off to New Zealand and a taste of mountaineering, and it will be interesting to hear whether this type of scenery attracts him as much as his beloved Cox and Kawmung. +
- +
-This year is the first year bushualkers have taken part in race-walking, and +
- +
-as WO all know they topped the lists coming second and third after Gordon in each event. I Was therefore very, interested to hear Gordon's comments on the possibil- +

-Gordon thought this a pity since the other method would have put the N.S.TL Walking Club on a sounder basis financially, and better able to send teams to +
- +
