 The freezer is most likely to be used on the temperamentally unsuitable. Most members will agree that, if you get a group of people and isolate them for some days or a week or more, as may happen on lengthy walks, all sorts of eccentricities and personality quirks are likely to come to light. Some of these foibles, of little consequence at other times, can become sources of irritation and rancour in these circumstances. The freezer is most likely to be used on the temperamentally unsuitable.

 The freezer treatment is also sometimes self-applied, in which case no one is hurt. This relates to the prospective who has no idea of what bushwalking entails, tries it once and doesn't like it; or the person who cries "enough" as soon as the going gets a bit hard. These folk may be compatible enough, but the material is wrong, and it would be futile and foolish to persuade them to persevere. The freezer treatment is also sometimes self-applied, in which case no one is hurt.

Because there was a good deal of dissatisfaction with the prossnt club room, several members had investigated a number of alternatives. He listed about 12 places, some of which were far too expensive, most could not give any guarantees of availability on Wednesday as a regular thing, while virtually all could not provide storage space for Club equipment and records.+Now Don Finch cleared his throat, and made a statement for Committee.

 As a result the Committee considered that a trial should be made of a building owned by the Wireless Institute of New South Wales at Atchison Street, St. Leonards. It was proposed that the first two meetings of September be held there, and on the second (Half-Yearly General Meeting) the desirability of remaining be considered. The main hall was described as spacious and reasonably comfortable, there was space for storage and various other facilities, and the rental be $12 per night. As a result the Committee considered that a trial should be made of a building owned by the Wireless Institute of New South Wales at Atchison Street, St. Leonards.

Some thought it would affect our intake of prospectives: others felt the time was coming when dearth of City halls would force organisations like ours into suburban addresses.

-Mr. Reg Walker, Director of the National Trust claimed the Clutha Act was one of which Parliament should be ashamed. The existing mines surround Lake Burragorang, Sydney's main water supply. Apart from the effect on the water supply, damage has already been done to the landscape, and as the mining is stepped up and the cliff faces crumble, there would be obvious pollution on a grand scale. At Scarborough up to one million tons of coal would be dumped on the escarpment, to be blown by winds who knew where. This coal dump would cover the Domain and Botannical Gardens to a depth of 20 feet.+Mr. Reg Walker, Director of the National Trust claimed the Clutha Act was one of which Parliament should be ashamed.

 Mr. Walker asked why the Government was willing to hand over the land to be used by the Clutha concern. He said he thought the answer lay in acceptance of the idea that maximum economic growth was a good thing. However, economic growth had to be judged as much for what it destroyed as for what it created. A few more Cluthas, and there would be nowhere left worth going to. Mr. Walker asked why the Government was willing to hand over the land to be used by the Clutha concern.

 The Minister for Mines, Mr. Fife, who spoke next, was given a rowdy reception until the Chairman appealed to the meeting to give him a better hearing. Mr. Fife agreed that in a democracy people have the right to question the decision of the Government and to protest. Ho claimed that the need for additional coal loading facilities to service coal fields had become more acute. The export of coal was of great importance to N.S.W., the total demand in 1970-1 being expected to reach 35-million tons. Connected with this was the aspect of employment - there were at present about 14,000 people in the industry, and their continued employment was dependent on the growth of the mining. The Minister for Mines, Mr. Fife, who spoke next, was given a rowdy reception until the Chairman appealed to the meeting to give him a better hearing.

-Mr. Fife denied that the matter had been decided lightly. The Government felt funds for schools and hospitals should not be utilisad to construct such facilities, and it would be best if they were provided by private enterprise. The first meeting with Clutha resulted in rejection of a proposal by the Company, and also one put forward by the Government. An alternative offer to Clutha had been accepted. No part of the Clutha Act would confer any mining rights: proposals submitted by the Company would be open to scrutiny by all Government agencies concerned. Many restrictions had been imposed, and covered control for every conceivable aspect of the project from which pollution might arise.+Mr. Fife denied that the matter had been decided lightly.

 He was followed by Professor H. Wootton, Faculty of Law, Sydney University, who expressed concern at the way the law-making machinery had operated. He considered open discussion should have taken place before the passage of the Bill. The Account of the debate in Parliament showed how ill-equipped it was to deal with a matter like the Clutha project, and he considered there should be an independent tribunal to consider such schemes and make recommendations. The negotiations, he said, were undertaken in secret by the Parliamentary Ministers, and the nature of the Act would remove the whole project from normal controls. He was followed by Professor H.

Rock faces to the east wore impassable but the western side seemed to have prospects. Flank produced about 20-foot of sash cord.

After waiting a few moments for the non-arrival of Hopalong, we proceeded to the end of the valley. It was quite dry underfoot, and after puiiing through medium scrub to a low saddle we caught glimpses of a most extensive valley below us. We plunged immediately into some extremely thick stuff.

The timber looked an inviting camp spot, but thick scrub made camping impossible, so we found a spot in the open surrounded by sally gum and scrub.

 After lunch we regretfully headed back to where pyjama pants hanging from a tree indicated the position of the chimney. With tender memories of sections of the morning's walk we returned by a somewhat different route. Jack and I considered we should have gone south-east instead of southwest in the morning, so we did a side trip to have a look-see. We got the biggest surprise of the trip. We expected an area ahead somewhat similar to the vast plateau at our back, and instead found the ground falling steeply into rugged deeps of about 1,500-feet. Not one line of rock faces but two rows of them met the eye. A breathtaking view, my little ones: something to be seen to be appreciated. After lunch we regretfully headed back to where pyjama pants hanging from a tree indicated the position of the chimney.

-We returned to our camp feeling extremely contented, had early tea and then talked on the outskirts of a beaut. log fire. A light shower during the evening didn't improve the rest as rain could easily turn the timber track into a horror stretch. The morning was clear as we broke camp and started homewards. When we came to Hopalong's Valley we decided to go straight through instead of returning to the tops. Sure enough, the creek we followed terminated at the shallow waterfall near where we had ascended on the Saturday. So near and yet so far! We could see the smoke from the timber mill on the ridge opposite, and here we were stuck 15ft. above a minature waterfall.+We returned to our camp feeling extremely contented, had early tea and then talked on the outskirts of a beaut. log fire.

 We turned right, and up we went. We must have spent two hours looking for our original route. We had some wonderful views of Pigeon House, but after a while got sick of charging up and down blind creeks so returned to the waterfall. I had noticed a tree growing close to the rock face and it was still there when we got back. As a special privilege I was permitted to try the tree first. There were no branches between me and the bottom, so I gingerly wrapped my arms and pyjama-clad logs around the trunk, and let gravity do the rest. Then I scouted around and found the way down, instead of letting the others bark their limbs on the tree. A draughty sensation below brings my eyes to my pants. There are more holes than stripes - in fact a complete write-off. I've no heart to continue the story; decide yourself whether we got home or not. No trip is worth such a sacrifice, but if by any chance you are down that way you could do a lot worse than have a stroll around. Valleys on top of ridges, surrounded by rock faces - a topsyturvy area with magnificent views - that's the Castle area. See it yourself. We turned right, and up we went.
