+THE MAGAZINE STAFF - II
 Snowball Brown.
 With the magazine its largely all Snow's fault; but for him there wouldn't be a magazine. Snow does the duplicating, which means he turns the duplicator handle at least 2750 times a hard day's work. Then he convenes a work party to compile, wrap, and post the magazine. See to it that Snow doesn't churn out garbage and filling; write reports of all your trips.

+I slept at John Powell's place and at 3,00 am we left, picked up Don, and drove to Kandos. Here we took a short cut, and got onto a road which lead to Mt. Coricudgy. Along here, at a chosen ford on
 the map, we were to meet Snow. After going along this road some distance, we found ourselves climbing up a steep hill. A quick look at the map showed us that it should have been flat ground before the meeting place. A few minutes later we found ourselves on top of a large mountain. This,
 we deduced, was Mt. Coricudgy. Where was Snow Brown? Lost again.

We talked to a farmer who said he had seen no-one but the Royal Australian Army which went past a week before, but was turned back by a tree across the road. He told us that some of the army were always getting lost for the duration of their rations. "We'd better go back to Rylstone and see

We pinched one of the two crumpets Snow had for breakfast to get even.

 By 10.30 a m. we had the whole party assembled and ready to go at the end of the road near the top of Coricudgy. We then trotted off along the top of Coricudgy and along the track towards Mt. Coriaday.
-After lunch in a dry gully, we bashed out to Coriaday and climbed its scrubby sides. On top we couldn't see a thing because of the scrub, so we started off down the other side. net a change, on this side there was dense rain forest which was easy to walk through - no undergrowth.

The light was fading as we neared the creek - "Wow a monstrous , gorge". "How are we going to get down those cliffs?" said the party. "Cat's Meat", said Snow.

 To started scrambling down, till we came to an "impassable" cliff, which Snow jumped. at its lowest place, landing on a small ledge. John Powell said that if Snow could do it he could do it with a pack, but
-he nearly went over the edge. Seeing this I lowered my pack carefully, and edged my way dawn before jumping. The others got down alright and we pushed on down the ridge. Soon we came to another cliff line, about 150 feet high and overhanging. It was practically dark now ana we could see no way dawn. We decided to follow the ledge we were on back up into the side creek. Here the ledge became narrower and then disappeared altogether. We were trapped no way up or down.

-our predicament: thirsty in a dry cave, with the creek below and no way
 down. The majority agreed that Snow was to blame for being late in the morning. We wondered how long it would take for a rescue party to come.
 Next morning we scattered in various directions looking for a way down. John Powell found an easy one up the side creek, while Snow and I found a "slippery-dip" type pass in the other direction. We all went down the slippery-dip, and made our way to the creek where we had breakfast.
 After breakfast we climbed a spur on the other side, making our way around some cliffs. On top the scrub was thick, to put it mildly, with mountain holly up to the eye-balls. The cunning ones got out their

 Snow pulled out his last two crumpets, while the rest of us feasted on tins of pineapple and other fruits. "Moan - groan - mumble - grumble" said Snow. "I'm going to move an amendment to the constitution that if members bring tins of fruit for Sunday lunch-time then they have to share them with all members of the party."
-John Powell, who was keen to get home early, wanted a 20 minute lunch, and finally after 1 hours managed to drag us away. We followed the track to the fire road, and started the long bash back to the cars. I think there was something like 15 miles road bash. As Mnunt Coricudgy grew closer we grew tireder. John Worrell was a bit behind the rest of the party, while our spirited leader was dashing ahead. It was dark by the time we reached the foot of Mt. Coricudgy and found John Powell waiting. Soon we discovered the tree across the road which had turned back the Australian Army. We dragged ourselves up the winding road up Mt. Coricudgy. Here John Powell, our leader was left behind.

Everyone else was back but no leader. There had been only one branch road and the right one had been fairly obvious. Apart from that he had all the maps; he couldn't have got lost. Later John turned up - he had taken the wrong turn. With everyone safely back at the cars the remaining problem was to get home. This was not as easy as it sounds; John Powell was running low on petrol, Snow had none to spare, and it was already 8.30 p m. on Sunday. So at Rylstone and Kandos we went "garage-owner-knocking-up". We finally got petrol and later arrived home in the early hours of Monday morning.
