+ | Anticipating a strenuous morrow the party had booked sleepers, so, after finding our bunks, stowing our impedimenta (with special care to the skis), seeing ourselves off and repairing minor defects in the gear of one late member, we retired for a good sleep. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The guard called us toward 7 a.m. A glimpse through the window showed that we were speeding along through the rolling, treeless country about Bredbo, with occasional glimpses of the Murrumbidgee River winding along the eastern foot of the ranges. The day was half cloudy with a keen, very keen, westerly wind scurrying the clouds along and bending the long tableland grasses before it. Although somewhat bleak it was a pretty scene and as we dressed in our warm snow clothes we warmed to that spirit of happiness and adventure that only a winter alpine holiday can induce. | ||

+ | On arrival at Cooma we had breakfast at the station and, after booking our return passage and arranging some transport details, walked down to the township. There we purchased some four hundred pounds of provisions and amid much fun and excitement had it loaded onto the bus going to Berridale which was the furthest point to which we could obtain organised transport. | ||
