+ | Christmas is a perennial remihder that togethei' | ||
+ | If there is anywhere such a reminder would be superfluous, | ||
+ | - However we bow to convention and this issue is dedicated to the joy that it Christmas, the hope that is Nan. | ||
+ | It is alto our 25th anniverary cs a monthly Magazine with Rigby cover and this is surely worthy of special attention. | ||

+ | The crUX of our Christmas Carolling follows without further adn. | ||
+ | When as Comes-around each year Wre drehched with honeyed phrases And everyohe' | ||
+ | Put when I think of 0.1 the bills That ia) their wake mill follow, I must confess my eieetings kind Are really rather hollow, | ||

+ | which, it transpired, were paid after the despatch of the awful orange notice; arid the f eceipt of 119.- for the hire of gear - nearly enough to cover the | ||
+ | cost of one of the two tents which Frank Ashdown bought at the auction for 2 | ||
+ | each. Our cash balance was down about 17 over the month. | ||
+ | The first walk described by the Walks Secretary was that led by Bob Godfrey at the 6 hour week-end. This was something of a mystery hike. It was programmed to go-to Butbuhbah Creek, but someho* the party were next heard of in a hired | ||
+ | station 'Wagon on a prospecting tour of the Capertee and Turon. There was no mention of-any walking. The second walk that week-end led by Bill Rodgers, appeal" | ||
+ | and Mbrong Falls. The party camped in an inch of snow on Friday night.- The third walk - Reg Neekins trip from Yalwal to-Tallong - went according t6 schedule; eicept that the River had to be crossed at Badgery' | ||
+ | ae eve/4. Wilf said that apy walkers isiting the area should make a special | ||
+ | point of calling in. A fourth walk to Bunbundah Creek and Dangera Creek was led by Alan Round. The week-end walk on 5-7th October was cancelled because the leader was away, but Raythond U' | ||

+ | 22 The Sydney Bushwalker December 1962 SCIENCE, | ||
+ | Our Aboriginies: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Australian aboriginal has been much maligned, being variously described as shiftless, dull, filthy, Uncivilised (whatever that means) Aid dour. | ||
+ | H. Finlayson, sometime Curator of Mammals, South Australian Museum | ||
+ | has studied them in their natural surroundings and his views, apart from | ||
+ | their interest, must carry some-weight. In his words, ' | ||
+ | western black i6 a fine figure of d'Man: Though he tends to be sparse, particularly around the legs) many men of middle age are as heavily muscled about the-upper. parts as the aveage white man. In emergency, they are capable 6f extraordinAry feats of endurance in covering long distances in a short time without sustenance. | ||
+ | Amazement has Often been expressed that the-aborigines make no use Of animal skins in constructing covering to improve their living donditions) and this fact has-been tegarded 8.6 another instande of -their-ulowlinas" | ||
+ | Rather, they have an in=bred dislike of all impedimenta. They -will - t6lerate no gacrifice of mObility. A-15arty may decide euddenly to move on to another locality. Without more ado, the men' | ||
+ | scooping aside earth loosened by the yam stick) and their youngest child. | ||
+ | In-evolling a capacity-to endure, naked, heat, cold and rain they have acquired something much more portable and permanent that a skin tent or a - fur cloak. | ||
+ | so' | ||
+ | 86 long as he is quite, | ||
+ | - | ||
+ | - In their tracking ability, ' | ||
+ | for the rapid interpretation of what is obseved is even m6re remarkable. The tracks of many' | ||
+ | are usually distorted in the sandy soil. Yet the aboriginal will unhesitaing17 mame the animal Ma* its tracks, and the subsequent Capture from its burrow will invariably prove him correct. | ||
+ | December 1962 The Sydney Bushwalkor 23 | ||
+ | He-iS a remarkable eater, and I have seen tl-h76 men sit dowt and in-a six hour session, consume a fiftyTpound kangaroo. This-is not gluttony, but a very valuable asset in surroundings where meals could be a long way apart. | ||
+ | Among themselves, a general, kindliness of disposition is a marked trait, and there is little evidence of implacable hatreds and the lustingdelight in anotheris pain, which in the natives of the Americas, for example, servo to remind one that man is part fiend. | ||
+ | A sweet tooth is a leading aharacto: | ||
+ | the sugary exudation of the mulga twigs and the honey ant. The - latter is relished exceedingly. It i6 a deep burrowing ant which feeds on | ||
+ | - | ||
+ | the tulga bloom. After rain, its abdomen distends to a bladder the size of a grape, and is filled with a thin sy' | ||
+ | relievod by a slight acidity and-a flavour-of-malt. The gins will frequently do half a dayts heavy digging, sometimes following the galleries four feet | ||
+ | 0 deep in the loam to get perhaps fiftY or a hundred ants. | ||
+ | It is a soleMh moment for the gins when gt lest they lay downtheir yam. | ||
+ | sticks, and prepare to give themselves up to the silent enjoyment of the ravishing delicacy. One by on the feebly struggling ants are tenderly seized by the forepart, the abdomen placed between the lips, and its contents | ||
+ | squeezed into the mouth | ||
+ | It is a solemn moment for the ants, also.' | ||
+ | W dal-10Tbr brings home notes from school | ||

+ | Their time of incubating. | ||
+ | in vain I've waited hopefully For some slight indiCation She's been exposed-to anything Resembling educationt | ||
