 In the correspondence was a letter asking whether the Sydney Bush Walkers wanted any resolutions discussed at the Forestry Advisory Council conference. Laurie Rayner thought that fire watch-towers should be erected, and, if necessary, manned by club members during the week-end. Marie Byles pointed out that telephone communication and other equipment was also necessary. The meeting was in favour of the watch-towers, but judging by disgruntled murmurs, would not have been so keen on a week-ends pole sitting. Nicely judging the temper of his audience by its undertone, Laurie refrained from putting the watch-towers issue to the test. In the correspondence was a letter asking whether the Sydney Bush Walkers wanted any resolutions discussed at the Forestry Advisory Council conference.

-We were very pleased to hear that the National Parks and Prmitive Areas Council had added another success to its conservation efforts by having the Beecroft Peninsula (the Northern Headland of Jervis Bay), reserved.

The plan proposed by the N.P.P.A.C. had been followed closely.
  
-After the reading of the Federation Report the sale of Crown Lands on Narrow Neck was discussed at length. Marie Byles said that she and Dr. Dark (who had told her of the sale) would advance the purchase money - £600. - if the Federation would undertake tp raise the funds later. Ilowever the Federation and the S.B.W. delegates seemed "luke warm" about the idea. After a little discussion Ruby Payne-Scott, following a suggestion by Paul Barnes, moved that the Federation should try to obtain an option over the land. There followed some discussion, initiated by Eric Rowen, as to our right to cross the land. It was, Marie explained, a "nice" point. Under the old system of land tenure a "right of user" could be established. Under Torrens Title the title was defined, but, if people were allowed to walk over a track for some time perhaps the owner had dedicated it for that purpose. It was decided to try to obtain the option. However, there was still no expression of opinion as to whether or not we minded houses, farms, roads etc. on the area. We could not help feeling that any farmer who could cultivate those rocks would deserve every encouragement, but a scenic road is a good bet for the next depression, and by that time it might be possible to build a house that would withstand the mountain gales that roar across the headland.+After the reading of the Federation Report the sale of Crown Lands on Narrow Neck was discussed at length.

 Ruby Payne-Scott again obliged with a motion to the effect that we "deplored the alienation of land on Narrow Neck" and the Club orators got down to business. Allan Hardie pointed out that we could not be prevented from crossing the land as there must be right of access to the parts beyond. Ron Knightley made the hair of the older members stand on end by saying that the walk out to Clear Hill was rocky and unpleasant and that a road would do away with it, allowing us to get out to the country beyond, where the real beauty of the mountains lay. Bushwalkers were against the alienation of every bit of land that was not cultivated or used for timber, or they wanted to buy it. Laurie Rayner said he felt sick when he went through a street (too bad). But he would like a scenic road to Clear Hill, so that people who couldn't walk could enjoy the scenery. It was houses and farms that meant ruined scenery and ringbarked trees. Gordon Ballard said the land was 1-2 miles from the railway - it was too far away from shopping centres and too windy - it would not be used for building. Kath Hardy, attending her first meeting as a member, spoke for the walkers of posterity. If we let scenic places go to the builder there would be no places at all for walking in 50 years time. Narrow Neck was one of the grandest places. A scenic road would spoil the views and the place was already easy of access. Phil Hall was also thinking of the next generation. If there were a road they would not have to stumble and curse and swear, or at any rate stumble their way down to the Cox on Friday nights. Then walkers could get into the really interesting country on Friday night instead of having to spend hours in the pansy stuff. Think too how delightful it would be to enjoy scones and cream when you had arrived at the top of Clear Hill? Dorothy Lawry said that this proved it - the present generation of Bushwalkers were morons. As soon as large numbers of people got out beyond the Cox there would be fires, just as there were in the nearer areas. John Noble, who had volunteered to take the notes for the meeting, took time off to point out that the road down to Narrow Neck was already being prepared with a bull-dozer. Ruby Payne-Scott, replying to critics, first dealt with the cream and jam heresy. If on Clear Hill, why not Solitary too or anywhere and everywhere? We didn't want to buy every bit of land not already built on - houses were often built in most impossible places and there was every likelihood of them being put out on Narrow Neck. It was not far for a bus run. The use of land should be wisely controlled in the interests of the people. The motion was then put to the vote and it was resolved that we did deplore the alienation of the land. Ruby Payne-Scott again obliged with a motion to the effect that we "deplored the alienation of land on Narrow Neck" and the Club orators got down to business.

 As I listened to the discussion as to the desirability of a road along the Narrow Necks and houses on the way to Clear Hill, I began to wonder. Only a few years ago I remember expressions of horror at such a suggestion. It would ruin the beauty and the fun, they then said; fortunately it would be a difficult road to make, "Thank Goodness!" they sighed with relief. As I listened to the discussion as to the desirability of a road along the Narrow Necks and houses on the way to Clear Hill, I began to wonder.

-But now quite a number of bushwalkers seriously urged that a road to Clear Hill would save their poor feet from the long stony path. It is true that there is no longer the adventure in the Narrow Necks as there was when Frank Duncan was making the First Descent of Clear Hill. But the beauty is still there. Are they blind to it? Perhaps so. A forester once took a party of bushwalkers out for a week end. He found that they were splendid companions; but he marvelled that they never looked at anything! Perhaps these bushwalkers who find the track to Clear Hill so long and stony have never seen the wonder of the mist across the walley on a moonlight night, or the splendour of a sunrise on the distant hill, or the loveliness of the tiny flowers beside that stony path.+But now quite a number of bushwalkers seriously urged that a road to Clear Hill would save their poor feet from the long stony path.

-But in any case where would be the adventure of the Gangerangs if you could reach them easily? Why the very charm of these hills and, of the Dog Ranges and the Cox is just that you cannot reach them easily and that the walk there is long and very beautiful. And where is this road extension gong to end? After all the walk along the Dog Ranges is far less spectacular than that along the Narrow Necks, and once the road is out to Clear Hill, oh! won't their poor feet get weary tramping out along those uninteresting Dogs, with hardly any views. Let's take the road right down to the Cox and be done with it. And then we shal be right on the doorstep of the Kowmung yes, and the adventure of the Kowmung gone, and the country nicely opened up between Katoomba and Ginkyn.+But in any case where would be the adventure of the Gangerangs if you could reach them easily?

 Perhaps a scenic road to Clear Hill will be inevitable one day. But I always thought it would be the N.R.M.A. that would want it, and that the bushwalkers would put up a strenuous opposition, perhaps ending in a compromise with a road to Diamond Falls and down the cliffs into the Megalong - such a road has in fact been planned, but not by bushwalkers - so far! It is time that motorists are entitled to their fair share of scenic roads, and in the past it has been I who have said that bushwalkers should not be selfish. But at the same time there is a happy medium, and it was generally agreed that it was a fair thing to expect a few ridges to remain free of tourist roads, and that these should be the Mount Hay Ridge beyond Table Hill and Rocky Tops, the Mount King George Ridge beyond Mount King George, and the whole of the Narrow Necks Ridge. Does the younger generation of bushwalkers want to see roads out along all the ridges? Do they want merely ease of access to the rivers where they can loaf and swim? It gave me a pang to see that it was the younger bushwalkers who mainly spoke for making ease of access to the Dogs and the Gangerangs. Is the rising generation of bushwalkers getting sissy? Perhaps a scenic road to Clear Hill will be inevitable one day.

His equipment included two cameras, sundry axes, trenching tools etc. Maps were not considered necessary as Dormie refreshed his memory by glancing at them prior to leaving home. A peep at the Classified Columns shows an axe and trenching tool for sale. Allan Hardie (Dormie to you) hits the headlines in his own inimitable style.
