-Earlier in the week there was Dave Rostron urging Spiro: "Came ski-touring. Don't go on that Whidden Brook trip; it's boring.  Nothing but farmlands and scratchy sera." But here we have Spiro as one of the starters when the five cars converged late on Friday night on the common near Nullo Mountain out from Rylstone. The Bob Parks carload cunningly sought out a shelter shed while the others erected tents on the wet grass.+Earlier in the week there was Dave Rostron urging Spiro: "Came ski-touring. Don't go on that Widden Brook trip; it's boring.  Nothing but farmlands and scratchy sera." But here we have Spiro as one of the starters when the five cars converged late on Friday night on the common near Nullo Mountain out from Rylstone. The Bob Parks carload cunningly sought out a shelter shed while the others erected tents on the wet grass.
  
 After an early breakfast we drove about 30 km to our starting point. Earlier parties had taken their cars some miles through the farm belonging to Mr. Merritt, but we left ours outside the property and walked through mud and thistles up a marshy hillside heading for a fire-trail that ought to be "somewhere up there". Our co-leaders Craig and Christine Austin had gone over to the owner's house to pay their respects but no one was home so they rejoined the mob, now about half a mile off course. Having taken a wrong turning at a gate we rambled round paddocks for half an hour, climbing through the same barbed wire fence two or three times. About 10 o'clock we stopped half an hour for morning tea then moved on smartly for hours. After an early breakfast we drove about 30 km to our starting point.

Next day we rang Ryan Jess at Tawonga and he came over in his minibus and we were returned to our vehicles and so home again. To tell you what kind of beds we had would be superfluous.

 On behalf of all the members of the Australian Section of the New Zealand Alpine Club who attended our 21st Birthday Party at Gardener's Inn, Blackheath last week-end, I would like to say "Thank you" to all the members of your Bush Band who came along and added so much to the enjoyment of the evening. Len with his guitar, Barbara with her singing and delightful personality, Bob with his singing and astounding dancing accomplishments, and Gordon who could have been transported straight from the shearing sheds into our midst. On behalf of all the members of the Australian Section of the New Zealand Alpine Club who attended our 21st Birthday Party at Gardener's Inn, Blackheath last week-end, I would like to say "Thank you" to all the members of your Bush Band who came along and added so much to the enjoyment of the evening.

 All of which brings me to the subject of this dissertation. All the old members know her, but let me introduce to new members Marie Byles. Almost a foundation member of the Sydney Bush Walkers, Marie with her keen legal mind did much for the Club in its early days, helping to thrash our Constitution into shape and giving legal advice when required. All of which brings me to the subject of this dissertation.
