(We also know of a Sydney woman who found an umbrella an invaluable adjunct to a walking tour through Europe, but rambling the roads and paths of Europe is, we imagine, rather different from bushwalking. We should love to see Marie Byles negotiating the Boyd Ranges, the Grose River, or many other places we can think of with umbrella in action. But of course, the countryside has been swept by bushfires this summer, so perhaps a now line of umbrellas would be a good idea to take the place of the shady trees we knew and loved. The umbrellas would be worn out before the bush grows up again. - Ed.) | (We also know of a Sydney woman who found an umbrella an invaluable adjunct to a walking tour through Europe, but rambling the roads and paths of Europe is, we imagine, rather different from bushwalking.

To the unaided eye it appears the same as unpolarised light. | Much is heard of the use of polarised light and its application to the problem of glare but how many know what is meant by polarised light?

To sum up therefore, we find that polarising devices are excellent for certain types of glare, especially water glare, but an absorbing filter still remains the only method for relieving general glare conditions, and certain spectrum limiting goggles of this type are the most efficient. | To sum up therefore, we find that polarising devices are excellent for certain types of glare, especially water glare, but an absorbing filter still remains the only method for relieving general glare conditions, and certain spectrum limiting goggles of this type are the most efficient. | ||

We went on through the lovely valley, with the Goodradigbee River on our right, and camped at the crossing. Again there was a fierce rainstorm during the night, but the next morning dawned bright and clear. We donned shorts, sorted out our clothes and food - leaving behind as much as we dared - then we waved farewell to the "Old Goat" and set out on the walking part of our holiday - up the valley to the snow leases and Tom Taylor' | We went on through the lovely valley, with the Goodradigbee River on our right, and camped at the crossing.

After hours of vainly wrestling for an idea for his monthly blurb in the S.B.W. mag, Paddy thought longingly how easy it would be to say something fresh about ice cream, cigarettes or whisky, anything in fact but camp gear. Photography for instance - Hah! Bright idea. Suppose I swapped jobs with Ray Bean! Ray generously agreed so here we are. | After hours of vainly wrestling for an idea for his monthly blurb in the S.B.W. mag, Paddy thought longingly how easy it would be to say something fresh about ice cream, cigarettes or whisky, anything in fact but camp gear.
