However, with nothing else to vote for, the result was beyond doubt. |

The final vote went to Burning Palms if we were cut off from Woods Creek by fire, flood or other disaster. | The question of an alternative site was discussed and Long Angle Gully, Burning Palms and Euroka in that order were proposed.

For instance, on a holiday walk down the coast from Merry Beach to Pebbly Beach quite a few attractive seashore places were seen.If many of these were private property it may he worth while setting up a committee to find if any areas were for sale and within our price range. | Now came another unexpected bit of business, Snow Brown said the prospect of securing a bit of Bendethera seemed to be chancy.

| Nan Bourke rose to say that only 2 families presented themselves at the Christmas Kiddies Treat. Did the Club want these affairs and would the Club circularise members to find why they did not attend.

| Eight of us met at the ZincBatch at 8 p m. Friday to board our 1954 Vauxhall Ute for the weekend trip. We were Chris and Brian two N.Z. geologists: Dave a geologist from Queensland: Fred and wife Toni, geologists: Craig, an engineer: and me, the lone metallurgist. We headed out along the Tiboburra road, It soon turned to dirt, sand, gravel and one lane, but was quite sound with no hidden potholes. Trees | Eight of us met at the ZincBatch at 8 p m.
