That beautiful walking area, the Cox's River, is becoming such as this - admittedly to a lesser degree, but lesser only for the present. The many scores of walkers who tramp this delightful and tranquil tract of country have in their midst those who have no thought in keeping the Cox's area free and clean and as virginal as possible from the refuse of civilisation. The fireplaces where walkers have camped and stopped for meals are gradually becoming a litter of tins and, sad to relate, some members of the S.B.W. instead of helping to diminish this blot on our recreation areas, add to it. | That beautiful walking area, the Cox's River, is becoming such as this - admittedly to a lesser degree, but lesser only for the present.

It is not sufficient to leave the tins in a fireplace and push the stones that make such construction in after the tins. It is surely easy to pick up a stick, dig a hole and place the corpse therein, where it will oxidise over so much more quickly, and in the process will be hidden from our sight and not offend our critical ideals of bush cleanliness. | It is not sufficient to leave the tins in a fireplace and push the stones that make such construction in after the tins.
