-Campsites on Northern Rivers by E.G. 00* II 6
+At Eight-hour Week-end a party from the River Canoe Club energetically paddled round the Hawkesbury and its tributaries at a part where there are no rapids - the Windsor/Cattai Creek area. Through their Club they have now written to the Federation complaining that South Creek was practically choked with water hyacinth, logs and other driftwood, all tangled together in a lovely mess. As they consider that the water hyacinth in its present state is a positive menace to the railway bridge at Mulgrave they have asked the Federation to report it to the authorities, and letters are being written to the Windsor Shire and the Minister for Local Government.
-At Our Own Meetings 04,0   e 11 6
+At the October meeting delegates were in a very demanding mood. The Acting Secretary was instructed to write to the Forestry Commission for a reply to a previous letter and to ask for an assurance that the top of Mt. Coricudgy would be re-afforested if the Commission permitted timber-cutting there; also to write to the Minister for Lands (Ln-support of the Parks & Playgrounds Movement) and ask for the reservation of the Crown Land on both sides of Shot Machine Creek which his Department was proposing to sell as 27 Building blocks.
-A Fish Yarn From The Barrier Reef from Wal.Roots 1/ 9
+Following on the official report from the C.M.W. on the misadventures of a party of its members during Eight-hour week-end, the Acting Secretary was given the job of writing to the Water Board, the Health Department, and the Manager of the Caves House words to this effect, "The water in Harry's River is bad; please see if you can do anything to reduce its badness."

 from Oliver Moriarty.
-Dear "Dune", I have received the S.B.W, letter of 3rd June which follows on numerous gifts of booklets and papers. You ask for suggestions well I can think of nothing better than real S.B.W. photos of bush life. Everyone here asks about our bush and most of them have never seen a "billycan". Walking is quite a pastime here, even in wartime as there are many old enough to walk but too young for Service. The equipment is much the same except for cooking utensils as there are few parts of this country where one can light a fire and cook.
