 There is nothing cissy about any of these Mapping Walks and the boys are "tuff", but they surely are going to have fun in July. They propose to map Berowra Creek from Galston Gorge bridge to tidal limit, leaving the train at Asquith and going through to Berowra Station: Mapping distance 2 miles, total distance 11 miles. Unless the scrub and country have changed in the past few years, they can count on getting nothing before the last train home! There is nothing cissy about any of these Mapping Walks and the boys are "tuff", but they surely are going to have fun in July.

 We hasten to disabuse the minds of any of our readers who may think the absence of any real news under this heading this month is an indication that we are pandering to Jack Debert and his pals. To those who are interested in the doings of the Federation we could explain that me just have not been able to track down anything that can be classed as "news". Apparently at both the March and April meetings of the Council much time was occupied in discussing a few motions that were eventually defeated; more time was taken up with talking about several other matters that in the end were all referred to expert (?) committees for further information, and no vital decisions were made so far as we have been able to ascertain up to the present. However, we promise to continue our investigations and hope to be able to give you some Federation News next month. We hasten to disabuse the minds of any of our readers who may think the absence of any real news under this heading this month is an indication that we are pandering to Jack Debert and his pals.

 We did hear that the Photographic Lectures are starting in May and that they will be held in the Photographic Society's rooms, but we did not get the definite time or date. If you are one of those interested, we suggest you get in touch either with the Secretary of the S.B.W. or with the Secretary of the Federation, you won't be reading this until a fortnight after it was written so, by that time, there should be definite information available. We did hear that the Photographic Lectures are starting in May and that they will be held in the Photographic Society's rooms, but we did not get the definite time or date.

 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's, away on the Coolomine Plains. 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.
