 +The Instructional-cum-Publicity-cum-Cracker-Night week-end was a sparkling success. There were 44 present, including 4 children but not counting fractions, a reporter from "Woman" and a photographer. Members outnumbered prospectives in the Proportion of about 10 to 1. 
 On Saturday morning the weather did its dismal best to dampen spirits, but gave up the unequal struggle in the early afternoon so that when the main body stepped off the train at Glenbrook a fine autumn afternoon greeted them. They were soon out to Euroka Clearing, the apprehension felt by some on hearing gun-shots en route being soon allayed when they discovered the early arrivals were only letting off a salvo of bungers. On Saturday morning the weather did its dismal best to dampen spirits, but gave up the unequal struggle in the early afternoon so that when the main body stepped off the train at Glenbrook a fine autumn afternoon greeted them. They were soon out to Euroka Clearing, the apprehension felt by some on hearing gun-shots en route being soon allayed when they discovered the early arrivals were only letting off a salvo of bungers.
-Camps were soon established, the slum down by the creek being occupied by the stinking workers (mostly juvenile), while the privileged non-stinkers, presided over by the President and his Lady, occupied the high ground on the ridge above. Here the reporter and press rhotograrher were also domiciled. The remainder of the afternoon was spent fraternising. Soon cooking fires were being lit and dinner was eaten to the accompaniment of sparklers with the soul:), crackers with the chops, volcanoes with the vegetables, not to mention red sodden remnants of rockets in the drinking water. 
-The camp fire was lit soon after 7 and Tim gave his instructional talk on camperaft to a quiet audience. Then the fireworks were turned on and peace vanished. Near at hand bungers banged, crackers cracked, Tom Thumbs spluttered, pin wheels whirled, volcanoes belched forth fire and smoke, other things too numerous to mention jumped and whirred and spat like wild cats in a Satanic atmosphere of fire aid brimstone, while from a high hill station rockets roared up from the ground carrying their trail of sparks into the hollow dark. 
-Down by the river a distraught cow, separated from her calf, had 
-been giving voice to heart-rending bellows throughout the night. This caused some concern to those who thought themselves light sleepers, but after the cracker orgy there were no further complaints about the 
-cow. 
-A sing-song followed the fireworks. At aboutll orclock people began drifting off to bed, the last late song-birds quitting the camp- 
-fire at 3.30 a m. It rained a bit in the early hours of the morning 
-but everyone was dead to the world and its weeping, and it passed almost unnoticed. Dawn brought long creeping swathes of white mist; a lone cooking fire made a slender column of smoke in the still pre- breakfast silence, and one by one the sleepers awoke. 
-The reporter and photographer did the rounds early getting items 
-for their paper. The Three Monicas had to be forcibly evicted and 
-sent down to the creek to pose as Bushwalkers Bathing: they perched 
-fully clothed on the bank with their boots on and washed behind their ears. How typical!
