-On Jim Laing's walk of 17/18 November, 1984 (Newnes Zobels Gully - Constance Gorge - Rocky Creek - Wolgan River - Newnes) the party of twelve parked its vehicles under the trees on the campgound about a quarter mile beyond the Newnes Hotel and then walked back passed the pub (which was not open for a beer), crossed the Wolgan River on a log conveniently placed there by Nature, and strided along the route of the old railway at the leader's inimitable pace (why does he have to go so fast so early - we didn't have a train to catch - or am I just getting older and feeling it!).

Otherwise it was quite a pleasant half-hour to get into the mood for Zobels Gully.
  
 The gully was a bit of a heat trap so it was pretty hot in the sun of a brilliantly fine day, and humid too after recent heavy rains. Jim would have nothing of the direct route into Constance Gorge and took us up a side gully with an interesting scramble on a rock face so that we could all be hot and sweaty for a morning tea break above the gorge. The gully was a bit of a heat trap so it was pretty hot in the sun of a brilliantly fine day, and humid too after recent heavy rains.

 Having gone about as high as we could go without a sky hook, Jim insisted that we go down for lunch to some idyllic spot in the top of Constance Gorge. Which we did via a neat bit of rock scrambling. Jim was right, of course, he did have an idyllic lunch stop in mind, shortly below, the point where water started to flow rather than puddle in the gorge. Who can deny warm sunlight filtering through the trees on to a sheltered place beside clear, running water and the smell of smoke in the air as the billies boil for a brew? Having gone about as high as we could go without a sky hook, Jim insisted that we go down for lunch to some idyllic spot in the top of Constance Gorge.

Either we continued down the gorge to join Deanes Creek (which comes in on the true right) and reach the Wolgan River or up it to return to Zobels Gully.
 The cliffs on both sides held us to a narrow route as we headed down. The heat of the afternoon was tempered by the shade of the profuse growth in the gorge and the ample flow of water in the stream. Jim omitted to tell us about the quicksand, but then I suppose he figured we were going to find out for ourselves in good time and probably did not want to spoil our lunch; and, anyway, he said it is not as bad as it can be in parts of the Wolgan River. As to whether that was meant to be relative or reassuring, or both, I am uncertain. Most of the time we walked along the streambed and paid its price in quicksand - up to knee deep on average and sometimes a little more, prompting the occasional squeal or yell depending on the gender of the member affected. The cliffs on both sides held us to a narrow route as we headed down.

 No promises were made about idyllic campsites though, and in the late afternoon we camped at the fork of the second significant creek coming in on the true left. The place was cool, dank and very cramped, but it was blessed with plenty of good water and a reasonable supply of downed timber. Evening meal and happy hour combined seemed a rather protracted affair. This was probably understandable given the poor light in the gorge and the limitations of space.

-Sunday, notably, saw the party away shortly after 8.00 am without coercion and into a deepening, tumbling Deanes Creek. As had been the case on the previous afternoon there were stops to swim (or, rather, dip in some reasonable-sized pools) and a little more quicksand to boot. After morning tea most of the party (not always at one with the leader as to his intentions at this stage) sidled and pushed its way uphill on the true left (about where Deanes Creek comes out of its gorge to meet the gorge of Rocky Creek) to break out of the scrub and traverse high for awhile before descending through open forest to an early lunchstop by deep, cool pools about a mile short of the Wolgan River. Thus some pretty nasty scrub and more - difficult terrain was avoided by dint of Jim's local knowledge.+Sunday, notably, saw the party away shortly after 8.00 am without coercion and into a deepening, tumbling Deanes Creek.

 At the Wolgan River we intersected a fire trail and soon the race was on, for awhile that is - one could almost suggest that some members had picked up a whiff of cold, amber fluid drifting down the valley from the Newnes Hotel. However, the heat of the day was well and truly up, and now exposed fully to the sun's pitiless rays most members wilted, and the party succumbed to a slower pace and an afternoon swim in the Wolgan. Lying in water about a foot deep with a fast current was almost a body massage. And the water temperature hovered on the cool side of lukewarm. At the Wolgan River we intersected a fire trail and soon the race was on, for awhile that is - one could almost suggest that some members had picked up a whiff of cold, amber fluid drifting down the valley from the Newnes Hotel.

Due to mechanical difficulties, however, your ship was forced to land at a spot some 200 miles from the rendezvous point. During landing, much of the equipment aboard was damaged, and, since survival depends on reaching the mother ship, the most critical items available must be chosen for the 200-mile trip. Below are listed the 15 items left intact and undamaged after landing. Your task is to rank order them in terms of their importance to your crew in allowing them to reach the rendezvous point.

-There are several aspects on which we would hope for more specific policy. The designation of wilderness under section 59(1) of the N.P.W.S. Act will take place as soon as possible following the adoption of the plan. Management plans take years to prepare and in the meantime roading, resorts and other development might take place in a wilderness. The object of section 59(1) is to preserve wilderness until the management plan has been approved. There also seems to be a contradiction between the commitment to "Management operations on foot or skis" and the retention of tracks "essential for management". Which kind of management requires tracks and what kind of tracks? In these days a track is usually a vehicle track. Gfice a track is made it is virtually impossible to exclude unauthorized use. It provides access for destructive elements and probably gives rise to more fires than its use can prevent. Unless carefully maintained, at considerable cost, vehicle tracks become channels for erosion.+There are several aspects on which we would hope for more specific policy.

-The guidline of "fire management practices in wilderness in accordance with the adopted fire management plan" begs the question rather than describes policy, though it if means that the N.P.W.S. alone determines fire management practice within the boundaries of national parks, this is a plus. A firm statement that wilderness, designated as such or not, will not be used for the creation of firebreaks, as it has been in the past, would have been more to the point. It is well proven that most fires start, not in wilderness, but in developed areas, and that is where the fire breaks should be made, though it may be impossible to avoid making some breaks on the wilderness margins.+The guideline of "fire management practices in wilderness in accordance with the adopted fire management plan" begs the question rather than describes policy, though it if means that the N.P.W.S. alone determines fire management practice within the boundaries of national parks, this is a plus.

 The goal of declaring no fewer than three wilderness areas a year gives some assurance of progress, though we would like to see quicker progress. The rate of progress would not matter so much if section 59 were used BEFORE wilderness areas were designated in management plans. The goal of declaring no fewer than three wilderness areas a year gives some assurance of progress, though we would like to see quicker progress.
