 I remember on another occasion camping with her in a large cave. This was to be found below the West Head Road immediately opposite "the first peep of the Hawkesbury River Bridge". She had brought with her some young folk, and we spent the next day enjoying the wild flowers, which were then at their best. Her interest and enthusiasm fired the imagination of these youngsters. She was the S.B.W. Delegate to the Parks and Playgrounds Movement for many years. She was an active member of the Wild Life Preservation Society; Manly Historical Scciety; and other organisations with similar ideals.

 Hilda Stoddard was a delegate representing Australia at the dedication of the Australian War Memorial in Egypt. Recently, she had been at Norfolk Island with the local rector and his wife.
