-EDITORIAL
+=====Editorial.=====
 The Editor's lot is not a happy one. To begin with, who actually reads the magazine? The active walkers seem to - to see if their trips are mentioned? Those who submit articles do, to see if they get in print or their articles have been edited. The overseas, interstate or otherwise isolated members do, to keep in touch. Lastly, there are a handful who actually enjoy the magazine and read it every month. Who else does?
 We send out an average of 290 magazines a month to our members, the bulk of whom do not actively walk, are seldom seen in the Clubrooms, and never submit articles, so probably don't read the magazine.
-Submit articles - that's what I'm getting at. No-one is suggesting the less-actives drop out of the Club, but I am suggesting that those of you who do read this magazine must be doing something of interest worth 'writingabout. There must be some prose writers, poets, illustrators amongst you with something worth
-publishing.

+"Dear Mr. & Mrs. Smith,
 I'm sorry that my article offended you, because it certainly wasn't intended to. I tried to be satirical, but I obviously didn't do it very well. I often write in that "rubbishing" style about trips and friends and did so again and thought nothing of it. I realise I should have been more thoughtful when writing about a non-member and his trip. If I hadn't written it in such a hurry and my Co-editor had seen it first she may have pointed out that I'd over-stepped the mark this time.
-I gather from Helen Gray's letter to me that you have been hurt by my saying that "the atmosphere was of money-making" (to quote Helen, who I think is qulting me). She has pointed out the statement is misleading and on re-reading it I agree it is. I know the proceeds go to charity and I think that is commendable. I'm sorry I didn't make that point.
-Helen has explained about the t-shirts. I didn't realise they had been previously ordered and were not actually being directly sold on the plane. If you announced that on the p a. system I didn't hear (I may have been dozing at the time). Sorry. Also, I've been told the photos were being sold by request, not to make extra money. Helen has also told me I was wrong in suggesting the trip didn't reach its destination, because the trip was always described as an attempt to reach the Pole. It was the wind which prevented us from getting there. (Didn't I explain that in the article? I seem to remember saying how the horizon was a blur because of wind picking up ice particles.) Anyway, I apologise for writing, or implying, that the trip never intended to go as far as the South Pole.

+rd April, 1978
+"Dear Sir,
 I am surprised that the "Sydney Bush Walker" would publish such a cruel and misleading article by a disgruntled malcontent concerning Dick Smith's Antarctic Flights.
-Far from being a commercial enterprise, every renny profit went to Charity and the Wild Life Conservation alone, is thirty thousand dollars better off.
-We were given the opportunity to order additional maps and 't shirts by letter before the flight so Pip Smith was handing out those already ordered. Not trying to "get rid' of them" as your correspondent suggests.
+Far from being a commercial enterprise, every penny profit went to Charity and the Wild Life Conservation alone, is thirty thousand dollars better off.
+We were given the opportunity to order additional maps and 't' shirts by letter before the flight so Pip Smith was handing out those already ordered. Not trying to "get rid of them" as your correspondent suggests.
 Throughout the flight Dick relayed everything he heard over the public address system so that we too could all know what was going on. He did this only because of many requests from earlier flights. He also saved anyone the embarrassment of asking someone, stuck to a window, to remember there were others who also wanted to see. If his enthusiasm offended your griper that's just too bad. I'd rather have over enthusiasm than none at all!
-The anonymous writer of your article incorrectly states that the Captain was chatting about manoeuvres over McMurdo. This was in fact Dick Smith as the cantain was too busy flying the giant plane at 1500 ft to be making announcements.
+The anonymous writer of your article incorrectly states that the Captain was chatting about manoeuvres over McMurdo. This was in fact Dick Smith as the captain was too busy flying the giant plane at 1500 ft to be making announcements.
 Incidentally, Macquarie Island was seen clearly by anyone who wanted to see it, including the ship in the harbour, and Harry Black (Veteran leader of four expeditions) said he had never seen it so clearly.
-Dick and Pip Smith are hard working, honest and very good people and because of Dick's keen interest and enthusiasm gave hundreds of people an oprortunity to see the Antarctic which they could never have done otherwise. (Yes - your anonymous writer would probably not have ever had the chance to see Antarctica if Dick Smith had not organised the flights). Also Dick created a new interest in a little known continent so close and vital to us.

-PHOTOGRAPHY FOR EVERYONE
-Recently I was asked, 'What has Photography got to do with bushwalking?' This is a question that I am unable to answer. If I was asked 'What has photography got in common with bushwalking?', the answer would be simple - 'happiness'. If the meaning of photography were to include home photographic processing, I would add It would promote and help develop creativity, individuality, personality and character'.
+----
-To many people photography is little more than shooting off a'couple of dozen snapshots each year. I feel that this is one of the greatest tragedies of our time when we consider how fast our children,'arid the children around us seem to grow up. It must come as a great shock to many older people when they realise that the only records that they have of their children growing up are a few hundred rather poor quality snapshots together with a small handful of school photos and general batch of wedding photos. Surely we can do better than this, after all these must be the happiest years of our lives.
-Another question I am frequently asked is 'What sort of camera should I buy for my child?' The question implies that the camera will be for the specific use of the one person and so therefore, logically, should be relatively inexPensive. Basically, any sort of equipment for a child or young person to use should utilise a film size that will enable and encourage home processing, as this is really half the fun and enjoyment of photography. Nothing will dampen the keenest enthusiasm quicker than an item of equipment that cannot offer the scope of creative advancement or adventure. It would be quite ridiculous to purchase a more expensive camera just for the use of the one young person, especially if the sudden interest in photography turns out to be just a passing fad.
+=====David Cotton's Note Book - Photography For Everyone.=====
-I feel that the best answer to the above question would be to consider the purchase of reasonable camera that the whole family could use. The ideal type of camera to choose for this situation would be a basic 35 mm. single lens reflex. The basic 35 mm. S.L.R. with through-the-lens viewing and light metering, together with lens interchangeability, represents excellent value for money. They are extremely simple to use, and together with the correct film type and speed for the job are incredibly versatile nieces of equipment.

 A basic 35 mm. S.L.R. camera will cost around $140 plus or minus $20. Before considering purchasing a new camera it would be wise to have a look around and see what cameras friends and relatives have in their cupboards. The number of really good 35 mm. S.L.R. cameras that people have and do not use is absolutely mind-boggling. Many people are under a false impression that the more expensive the camera, the better the photo. This idea is often quite wrong as a camera is only a tool, often the opposite effect is achieved, as a good camera will often highlight the users lack of technique.

+=====The Greater Blue Mountains National Park.=====
 by Alex Colley
-Before the advent of surfing, motoring and skiing the Blue Mountains were the State's main tourist centre,-being near the-large pondiafion cl-tne centrdi coast and easily accessible by rail. Tourism was almost entirely confined to the mountain towns and Jenolan Caves. Most of the remainder was little known until after the first world wax; when busbwalking commenced. The trail breakers in the Southern Blue Mountains were the aptly named "Mountain Trails Club", which fostered the formation of the S.B.W. It was the Secretary of thia Clnb, Myles J. Dunphy (now 0.B.E.) who formulated a plan for a Greater Blue auxv:ins National Park, which was the subject of a special issue of the Katoomba Daily in August, 1934. Myles was the Vice President of the S.B.W. at the time.

 His proposal embraced nearly all the undeveloped land in the Blue Mountains, all the way from Mounts Durambang and Boonbourwa in the north to Wanganderry and Wombeyan Caves in the South.

In a study of wilderness published last year, the Dept. of Geography, University of New England, found there were only 20 wilderness areas in the N.S.W. coast and tablelands, covering in all about 1 million hectares, or 1.3% of the area of the State. The two largest areas were the Colo/Hunter (235,000 ha) and Kanangra (77,500 ha). These areas are not only near the State's population centre, but are within two hours travel time of most of the State's population. Once developed these areas will never return to wilderness. Their scenic attraction will be downgraded together with their recreational value and their scientific value as species habitat.

+Two of the principal development threats to the Kanangra wilderness - the quarrying of Mount Armour (Coolong Caves) and the proposed pine plantation on the Boyd, have been countered. We didn't succeed in preventing the power line along the Cox Valley, but we did succeed in stopping the construction of the gas pipe line through the Wollongambe and, very recently, the mining of shale on the Culoul Range. Shortly after the Premier was flown over the whole proposed park area by Dick Smith (accompanied by Bruce Vote of the Federation) and taken on a tour through the Southern Blue Mountains, he announced the addition of 98,000 ha to the Blue Mountains and Kanangra Boyd National Park. A substantial part of the southern Blue Mountains has therefore been saved from development. The great northern wilderness, however, is unprotected.

The updated proposal was essentially Myles Dunphy's original plan, but included the Hunter National Park in the north - a recently announced addition to the parks system. About this time the Colo Committee, devoted to the preservation of the northern Blue Mountains, came into being, and attracted a great deal of support.

The maps show coal and associated services, settlement holdings, forestry, and off-road vehicles and littering. The whole tableau of exploitation is brought together in a composite threats map. "Coal and Associated Services" includes a slurry pipe line from the Newnes Coal Mine straight across the wilderness towards Newcastle and a dam on the Colo with pipeline and access road. A power line from Wallerawang to Grassy Hill is also a possibility. Roads, with their potential for littering, shooting, timber getting and other destructive activities, penetrate far into the wilderness, and two actually cross it.
-In June, 1975, the Colong Committee, having saved Kanang -Boyd, turned its attention to the Border Ranges and the Blue Mountains, and, at the end of 1976, the National Parks Association devoted a special 44 nage issue of its Journal, complete with Henry Gold nhotographs and mans, to the Greater Blue Mountains
+There can be no doubt that, unless a strong body of public opinion is built up to counter the various development interests, this great wilderness will go the way of most of the rest. What can members do to help save it. Financial support of the Federation, which is working enthusiastically for the cause, or for the Colong Committee, which has taken a leading part in the campaign for the park, are very effective means of support and I recommend response to the appeal of the Colo Committee in its pamphlet "Save the Colo Wilderness", which is as follows:
-National Park pronosal. The updated ProPosal was essentially Myles Dunphy's original plan, but included the Hunter National Park in the north - a recently announced addition to the parks system, About this time the Colo Committee, devoted to the nreservation of the northern Blue Mountains, came into being, and attracted a great deal of support.

 Last month was a sad one for the Club, with the loss of two dear members.
- e
-Dorothy Hasludk. Dorothy joined the Club in 1937 and was an active walker for many years. In later years she always remained interested in the club and was last seen by members at the Reunion at Coolana last year. Dorothy died, aged 80, peacefully in her sleep while staying with Ray Page at Jamberoo, at a place she dearly loved and wtth her best friends.

-Jack Perry. Jack died in Victoria on April 27, whilst visiting his family, aged 63, of heart failure. Jack has been a member for at least 30 years and was a keen walker and leader of trips right up to his death. (He arrived at the last Reunion on his bike, with his dog riding in the basket.) Jack will be remembered by many for his tales from his shearing days.

+=====The Long Wait!=====
 by Hans Stichter
-It was a chilly June weekend in 1975 and we were camped on Mt. Jenolan ip the upper Blue Mountains. Terry Norris, Magdy Hammad and I were sitting around the small fire, enjoying a body-warming brew when Terry remarked "That's one trip I plan to do at a future date - over Mt. Jenolan via Queahgong Buttress, Mt. Queahgong, Mt. Jenolan and back down to the Cox via Gasper Buttress."

Jenolan via Queahgong Buttress, Mt. Queahgong, Mt. Jenolan and back down to the Cox via Gasper Buttress."
 Here we were nearly three years later with the idea of doing that trip now a reality.
 Many last minute phone calls between our leader Terry Norris and other possible starters resulted in a count of 5; Terry Norris, Magdy Hamad, Diana Lynn, Joe Marton and myself.
 It was to be a three day trip, our party members either taking a flexi-day or a "sickle" (strange! I thought bushwalkers were a healthy, hardy lot) on the Friday.
-"9.00 a m. at Canons" was the message, necessitating a 6.45 a m. start from Parramatta. A % hour wait for Magdy caused us to think perhaps some misfortune had befallen our friend, before the trip had even started. A quick drive to his unit and a sleepy, red-eyed party member answered the door, muttering "What time is it? Sorry, slept in, 2.00 a m. to bed." After a five minute breakfast arid ten minutes spent packing his rucksack we were on our way. A last minute check was made to ensure that his supply of Lebanese bread, molasses and camera were included in his pack.
-It was approximately 10.15 a m. when we arrived at Canons, with Joe arriving 15 minutes later, who also had been unavoidably delayed.
+"9.00 a.m. at Carlons" was the message, necessitating a 6.45 a.m. start from Parramatta. A 1/2 hour wait for Magdy caused us to think perhaps some misfortune had befallen our friend, before the trip had even started. A quick drive to his unit and a sleepy, red-eyed party member answered the door, muttering "What time is it? Sorry, slept in, 2.00 a.m. to bed." After a five minute breakfast and ten minutes spent packing his rucksack we were on our way. A last minute check was made to ensure that his supply of Lebanese bread, molasses and camera were included in his pack.
-Today we were to walk down Breakfast Creek and camp on the Cox's river somewhere below Jeno/an Buttress. Saturday would include a round trip, climbing Queahgong Buttress, which is 3,200'. On Sunday we would return home either over the Wild Dog mountains or by Breakfast Creek.
-The erosion and destruction caused by the April floods is quite noticeable along Breakfast Creek and the Cox. Green grassy flats are rapidly disappearing and many trees lining the usually peaceful river have been brought down or are in danger of coming down. Whilst nature can act in strange ways, it also works in cycles and perhaps in many years to come it will again be the river it once

-# As has been proven on many occasions, small parties can cover considerable distances as compared to larger groups. Our group was to be no exception, all five being able to make quick progress without really exerting themselves. River crossings ,however, were fairly slow. The majority of the group preferred dry socks and sandshoes and where possible crossed the slippery rocks barefooted.

The majority of the group preferred dry socks and sandshoes and where possible crossed the slippery rocks barefooted.
 Our campsite was made beside an unnamed creek where fresh water was found a few hundred yards upstream. We all settled into a hearty meal that night, most of us having carried steak and fresh food for our Friday night feast. Our campfire continued to burn endlessly that night whilst we reminisced of past walks and of various people we had met on the track.
 Gazing at a clear sky at night with only the sound of water cascading over rocks and of the heat of the fire warming one's limbs is, to me, an experience that all walkers look forward to. Perhaps it is in such an environment that a person can feel himself as both part of that group and as part of the nature that surrounds him.
-We decided that a 7.00 a m. start would be necessary the following morning. I didn't think it would be possible for everyone to be UD and away by this early hour, remembering that it would still be dark at 6.30 a m. Gradually we departed to our tents and to the comfort of our sleeping bags, with only the occasional flicker of the fire being seen through the walls of the tent. Morning did see us up at 6.00 a m. and surprisingly, walking at 7.05 a m. As a safety precaution each of us carried oer sleeping bags and some emergency rations. Due to the distance to be covered and the very short days we took no chances in case we would have to bivouac away from the tents.
-Our climb was to comnence from Guouogang Brook, this being our first and last water supply for the day. With water bottles full, we proceeded upwards, all 3,000' of it. I often wonder if others share the thoughts that pass through my mind when climbing such mountains - "What am I doing here?" or "How I would love a cold beer or even a milkshake." Would the 4 - 5 hours we spent that day climbing be worth the physical exertion each of us was putting into the climb?

-The views on the way up and from Ht. Jenolan are spectacular. To me, the mountains have moods and it is these moods which can change from day to day, depending nn the prevailing weather conditions. One can experience this in such an area, particularly in winter months, where the sunrises and sunsets can depict the mountains in their own special way.
-Someone passed the remark "3% hours of daylight left" and with that comment we made our way down. We made extremely good progress with few stops. The weather conditions for our climb up Queahgong Buttress were ideal - very cool temperatures with a clear, cloudless sky. We all agreed that the same climb wouldn't be attempted by any of us in summer months, due to the lack of water. We did manage to return to our tents on sunset, with each of us retiring for a very early night.

 A "stop-over" at Youngs at Katoomba ended a weekend which had in fact begun in June, 1975.
 It had been worth the long wait!

 by Marie Byles
-It was New Year's Day and my father had taken his three little children a long walk to Rosternmere in England. We had learned to "tramp" almost as soon as we could toddle. And now we had reached Rosternmere. There it lay below us, its placid waters cradled in low wooded hills. But we might go no further. Father explained to us that it was private property and that we could not go down to those Peaceful waters nor walk in those lovely woods. Probably, the owner was entertaining his friends in one of "England's stately homes" nearby, with good wood and coal fires on this raw January day.

 Father sat us on a fence overlooking the lake and told us to say after him "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Down with the selfish wicked landowners!"
 This teaching in early childhood has lingered in my memory for ever after.
-When ny father brought his family to Australia he soon became a "wicked landowner" himself, but not a selfish one for he never prevented people from wandering over his land. And when I bought my own land and built my tiny cottage, it never entered my head to stop 'people from going through the land. Indeed, my brother and I devised and erected the following notice for the double gate "Private land. Bushlovers Welcome, but please do not injure anything. Bush is precious."

I know people come through the land because I hear the click of the gate, but only once in those forty years have I found the gate left open. I might also mention that a water tap is provided for picnickers. I got the idea from Paddy Pallin who told me of someone in England who provided a "Tap for Wayfarers". The tap here has been much used and is greatly appreciated.

+A few weeks ago Dot Butler took me to "Coolana". I was thrilled with the wonderful scenery, the glorious rocks, the deep gorges and what I have called "Dot's Hut". It seems incredible that this lovely shelter shed, open to the view in front and the fresh air, should have been built with Dot's inspiration and the volunteer labour of the Sydney Bushwalkers, including the piping of water from a nearby stream and the fixing of a tap - only for cold water at present, but goodness knows what depths of luxurious living it may not lead to!

+But almost the best thing about the site of "Coolana" is that on the new strip of leasehold recently acquired (with the help of George Davidson, the Surveyor) is ample car parking space, not only for bushwalkers, but for members of the public. I suggest that for the benefit of the public generally, two rough tables and benches should be built, and that a track should be made to the Lookout and pools of clear drinking water, with a suitable notice "To Drinking Water and Lookout". I can almost hear the gurgles of laughter of the children as they paddle in the lower pools. (It might be wise to fence off the drinking water pool!)

 On the car track at the parking area I suggest putting up a notice welcoming bushlovers, similar to that at "Ahimsa". If you welcome people and extend friendship, they in turn will love the bushwalking movement.
-Knowing human weakness, I also suggest digging a deep pit for rubbish and label it for this. One can hardly exnect the Council to empty rubbish bins as they do near "Ahimsa", nor is the public sufficiently trained to take rubbish home as bushwalkers do. Before his death, my brother had started getting some firm interested in providing rubbish bags for every car on the roads. I do not know what happened to his efforts.
-The S.B.W. are very wise to keen the gate locked and to provide only a very narrow footway in.

There is always something of interest going on here at Darkes Forest, beehives to inspect (tibnty of fresh honeycomb to chew) and I will have a couple of two metre -dinghys under construction. Pruning wM be under way in the orchard using pneumatic pruning equipment.
-Persons wishing to attend these Photographic Adventure Workshops sessions should bring along some of their favourite black and white negatives or take a roll of black and white film with them on their next bushwalk. Film should be nrocessed prior to the Workshop, whilst we will be covering black and white film processing, it is best to have some Processed film as it is easier to start off on print work first. People with sensitive hands should bring along a pair of rubber gloves.
