| At its junction with the Kangaroo River, the Shoalhaven is about 100 ft. above sea level. Sixteen miles upstream, at Badgery’s Crossing, its height is still less than 350 ft. This means that when the Junction Dam has been constructed in a few years’ time the retaining wall will not have to be very high to produce flooding of a considerable length of the Shoalhavon Gorge, and another attractive place to walk will be just a memory.\\ | At its junction with the Kangaroo River, the Shoalhaven is about 100 ft. above sea level.

| It gives me great pleasure to report that my English nephew Peter Smithson is a keen walker and I arranged with him to walk the Cleveland Way, a hundred mile walk over the Yorkshire Moors in the North York Moors National Park. The walk more or loss follows the edge of the escarpment around the western, northern and eastern perimeter of the park at an average altitude of ten to twelve hundred feet. We did not camp but put up a friendly farmhouses or bed and breakfast places nevertheless by the time I had allowed for a complete change of “respectable” clothing, plus wet weather and cold weather protection my pack weighed not much less than for a camping trip.\\ | It gives me great pleasure to report that my English nephew Peter Smithson is a keen walker and I arranged with him to walk the Cleveland Way, a hundred mile walk over the Yorkshire Moors in the North York Moors National Park.

| |March 24,25,26 |Ross Hughes (Heaven bless him!) came to the rescue when the programme looked like foundering for lack of support. This trip is another great one in the Kowmung Country. Steepish descent down Cambage Spire with spectacular views of Christy’s Creek and the Kowmung. Average climb up the Bulga Range, a jog along the road on Scott’s lain Range to Butcher’s Creek, then a bit of unknown creek to Chiddy Obelisk (terrific panorama here), and good walking thereafter. This trip has been arranged in such a cunning way that anyone who flakes can do so without inconveniencing the rest of the party, and could even spend Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning fishing on the Koumung while waiting for the others to came back that-a-way.| | |March 24,25,26 |Ross Hughes (Heaven bless him!) came to the rescue when the programme looked like foundering for lack of support.

| - | |March 30,31 April 1,2,3 - Easter |There are two trips programmed for Easter. The first is a came-as-you-go one to the Warrumbungles National Park, which is situated in the Tooraweenah-Coonabarabran area about 350 miles from Sydney. The 7arruMbungles offer spectacular scenery - in fact there’s nothing like it anywhere else in Australia - and there are graded tracks, with huts and water tanks on the Grand High Tops. Jim’s plans are very flexible - you can walk like a tiger or you can take it easy.\\ | + | |March 30,31 April 1,2,3 - Easter |There are two trips programmed for Easter.
