 At the beginning of the month five members were amongst 27 people at a joint trip on Watson's Crags in the Alps, and Ray Hookway's Budawangs trip had 17, the area was so crowded it "resembled Pitt Street"' Jack Perry's Labour Day trip was attended by 8 people, but no report was available. On the second week-end of the month Dot Noble's party of 9 members and 5 Prospectives were out under showery conditions in the hills near Kanangra, and there were two day walks, one led. by Meryl Watman into flannel flower, country near Kurnell, while Gladys Robert's trip near Belrose was joined by a S.M. Herald feature writer.
-Mid October saw the car swap trip of Pat Harrison and Ross Hughes on Wo1gan and Capertee Rivers and what must be the fastest passage from Newnes to Glen Davis via the rivers. Indeed the tail end of Pat's party never caught up with the advance guard. Sheila Binns and crew of 11 had a pleasantly leisured camp a the erstwhile Reunion site at Woods Creek, while Jim Callaway took a test walk from Heathcote to Bundeena.

 For his Instructional walk over Paddy's Peak and to the Wollondilly, Owen Marks had a team of 13,including 9 prospectives. Owen's report of the trip, was quite lyrical in spite of hot  weather, but by all accounts there was little time for instruction.  Mabel Pratt's day walk to Marley was enlivened by a savage storm which caused the Bundeenda ferry to ground on a shoal. At this point Wilf Hilder commented that Owen's observations of the Aurora Borealis (a northern hemisphere phenomenon) was a truly remarkable feature on the Wollondilly.
