-Correspondence brought a letter from the South-East Forest Fighting Fund requesting donations to assist in the campaign to save the sensitive forest areas in south eastern N.S.W. which have been included in the area covered by the recent 15-year extension to the Wood- chipping license. The Treasurer confirmed that we were in a position to make a donation without becoming insolvent, so an initial motion to donate $500 was amended to $1,000 and passed after some debate.+

 The Walks Report began on the weekend of December 16,17,18 with Don Finch's wet and wet Morong Deep trip. The party of 8 found a good deal more water than usual, with one member almost drifting over a waterfall and another becoming separated from the main party for around three hours. In view of all that they truncated the walk somewhat and came out mid-afternoon on Sunday. Peter Sharp's birthday walk did not go, but Jan Mohandas reported around 17 on his Otford to Bundeena swimming trip. The weather sounded about right for that sort of thing, hot and steamy. The Walks Report began on the weekend of December 16,17,18 with Don Finch's wet and wet Morong Deep trip.

 Over the Christmas period Carol Bruce and John Porter led 6 people on their Brogo/Wadbilliga trip. The river crossings were somewhat more difficult than expected due to recent rains and there was one report of a creek which increased in size as they progressed upstream in steady rain on the last day. The final conclusion was that it was a good trip in magnificent country. Over the Christmas period Carol Bruce and John Porter led 6 people on their Brogo/Wadbilliga trip.

 Don Finch's Cob river trip was cancelled. Bob King had 5 people on his Oxley Wild Rivers trip. The initial progress was slow and campsites hard, but all that improved as time went by. They visited the Styx River, the Tambla River and the MacLeay River in generally dull and overcast weather. Don Finch's Cob river trip was cancelled.

 George Walton had 9 on his Kosciusko area walk. The wildflowers were good and the weather was overcast but fine.

-The following weekend, 6,7,8 January saw Les Powell leading a party of 5 on his Nattai River trip. The weather was cool, so to keep the troops entertained Les took them up onto Wanganderry tops to camp. Kenn Clacher's Davies Canyon trip was led by Don Finch and John POrter. Conditions were not suitable for the canyon, what with fog and drizzle, so they all traipsed off over Cloudmaker to Hundred-Man Cave, and, despite various options consider7d, all came back the same way. Greta Davis led the day walk for that weekend, with 17 or 18 on her Waterfall to Waterfall walk. + 
-The weekend of 13,14,15 January saw Oliver CRawford leading a party of 9 on his Wollongambe Respite. It was obviously no respite for the Wollongambe, they all went to the Newnes tunnel. The Alan Doherty/Bill Holland barbecue marathon saw an initial party of 17 at Bill's place swollen and increased to 28 at Alan's place. We are assured that walking two 'hours in the morning followed by two hours in the afternoon is not easy. Not with that much refreshment under your belt it's not. +The following weekend, 6,7,8 January saw Les Powell leading a party of 5 on his Nattai River trip.

 Federation matters are covered elsewhere in the magazine, but there was one item of special interest. It seems F.B.W. will be holding an extraordinary meeting to discuss the questions of incorporation and insurance. Sounds like old times. Federation matters are covered elsewhere in the magazine, but there was one item of special interest.

 Coolana is the Club's own property on the left bank of the Kangaroo River in Kangaroo Valley. The entrance to the property is located at grid reference 692 513 on CMA map Burner 8928-2-N. Coolana is actually located close to the junction of three maps; Bundanoon 8928-1-5, Burner 8928-2-N and Kangaroo Valley 9028-4-S. The main part of Coolana is centred around grid reference 675 517 on the Bundanoon map. The map below should be more than sufficient to find the property. Coolana is the Club's own property on the left bank of the Kangaroo River in Kangaroo Valley.
