 We followed down our little creek to find out if it were a tributary of Old Station Creek - flowing westward - or of Wiarborough Creek flowing north-east, It turned out to be a tributary of a tributary of Wiarborough, so we made up the ridge and followed its rather snake-like course in a general southerly direction so as to pick up the Wiarborough Road near its junction with Richlands/Wombeyan Caves Road. After about 3 miles we saw the paddocks of Wiarborough Station down on our left; on the head of the creek and Honeysuckle Creek, but kept on along the ridge for another mile or so, and then dropped over to the west and lunched on one of the heads of Currweela Creek. We followed down our little creek to find out if it were a tributary of Old Station Creek - flowing westward - or of Wiarborough Creek flowing north-east, It turned out to be a tributary of a tributary of Wiarborough, so we made up the ridge and followed its rather snake-like course in a general southerly direction so as to pick up the Wiarborough Road near its junction with Richlands/Wombeyan Caves Road.

-Moving on again at 1.10 pm, we headed south-east across the paddock back up onto the ridge, and in about 3/4 mile came to the Wiarborough Road, about 1/2 mile from its junction with the Wombeyan Road. We crossed this latter road and kept south along the Main Divide, with the road to Richlands just on the west of the fence. Seeing a house ahead of us, we turned east over cleared hillsides, down to the head of Guineacor Creek, which is all cleared and settled.+Moving on again at 1.10 pm, we headed south-east across the paddock back up onto the ridge, and in about ¾ mile came to the Wiarborough Road, about ½ mile from its junction with the Wombeyan Road.

Seeing a house ahead of us, we turned east over cleared hillsides, down to the head of Guineacor Creek, which is all cleared and settled.
  
 From the Wiarborough Road junction, we had seen a cottage about half a mile to the east on the head of Guineacor Creek, and when we got into that valley we found a good gravel road running down the creek. It was not marked on our Blue Mountains/Burragorang Map, but we followed it down the creek for two or three miles, then camped at 3 pm. on the far side of the creek. From the Wiarborough Road junction, we had seen a cottage about half a mile to the east on the head of Guineacor Creek, and when we got into that valley we found a good gravel road running down the creek.

 Last year's slide competition was such a success that it seems like tempting fate to run another. However tempt fate we will. Henry Gold, well known as a wilderness photographer (particularly for his Colo pictures) has kindly agreed to judge the slides again this year. Thank you, Henry. Last year's slide competition was such a success that it seems like tempting fate to run another. However tempt fate we will.

 Please give me your slides (15 per person maximum) at the Annual General Meeting - i e. March 12th 1980. Slides that came in the top three in last year's competition aren't eligible. This gives our judge two weeks to sort through, rearrange, and judge them. The slides will be shown on Wednesday, March 26th. Henry will be there to comment on the slides and announce the winners. Please give me your slides (15 per person maximum) at the Annual General Meeting - i e. March 12th 1980.

-CHRISTMAS PARTY+**CHRISTMAS PARTY**
 The Club Christmas Party will be on Wednesday, December 19th. The club will provide the drinks, but remember to bring a glass (unless you prefer to drink wine out of a coffee mug), and a plate of food. To brighten up the evening, the scrub-bashers will be there to provide some music. You can even sing along if you feel like it. This is also your last chance to get together and plan those Christmas trips - only 6 days to Christmas. So came along and enjoy food, drink, good music and good company.  The Club Christmas Party will be on Wednesday, December 19th.
