-The youth hostel movement began in Germany and has spread rapidly so that there are now 5000 hostels throughout the world, with 150 in Australia. There are no age limits to membership in Australia. An early impression of the "youth" age range was on the Yorkshire Dales. The sight of a sixtyyear-old man cycling and putting up like me, with the cold water of a frigid spring morning. If a person accepts the attitude of "young at heart" then he/she can understand the world view of the youth hostel ethic. + 
-If you are a party of six or more you can, by booking ahead through our corporate pass, stay at a hostel somewhere in the bush or somewhere in a city. You may have to put up with a dormitary rather than a tent. Perhaps you will have to put up with ,a snore but I've found tents scant insulation. You'll have the luxury of a warm night and, probably, warm morning and shelter from the storm. You will buy or make a standard sheet sack - which you won't regret as it will be 'de reguer' at any of those 5000 other places. +The youth hostel movement began in Germany and has spread rapidly so that there are now 5000 hostels throughout the world, with 150 in Australia.

 +Club member Rudi Dezelin has come up with an idea he'd like SBW members to think about. During his many years of walking through our National Parks, in particular the Royal National Park, he's noticed a steady increase in litter and evidence of 4-wheel-drive vehicle damage.

 +Rudi, as all who know him will testify, is a man of strong opinions... and actions. He's taken the bit by the teeth and written to the NSW Minister for the Environment, Mr. Tim Moore, setting out his concerns.., and coming up with an interesting suggestion. He's put it to the Minister that Honorary Rangers be appointed to keep an eye on what's happening in the national parks and, if necessary, give them the power to caution offenders or perhaps take down registration number plates. 
 + 
 +Mr. Moore has replied saying he thinks the idea has merit. In his written reply to Rudi he says: "...we did have a program of honorary ranger appointments some years ago but this program has since lapsed.

-ABORIGINAL ROCK ART + 
-IN KAKADU +=====To Swim Or Not To Swim.===== 
-The rock paintings in Kakadu reflect a cultural tradition spanning tens of thousands of yearsDuring this time, there has been a distinct + 
-sequence of styles, many of which are almost unknown to the general public. +By Morag Ryder 
-A few major galleries such as Nourlangie and Ubirr are easily accessible by vehicle. Hundreds of others are accessible only on treks of three days or more. Willis's Walkabouts offers trips which visit many such sites throughout Kakadu, the rest of the Top- End and the Kimberley. Even in areas where our guides have been walking for ten years or more, we continue to find as yet uncatalogued- art sites. + 
-Ifyou are reasonably fit and interested in seeing a wealth ofAboriginal rock paintings inaccessible to the average tourist, write or phone for our free brochure. +During the June long weekend, over 100 walkers had to be helped out of the Blue Mountains. Many were stranded on the wrong side of flooded rivers, as was an SBW party. Having waited 36 hours in vain for the river to subside, and almost out of food, we had to make a plan of action. S & R would probably have been alerted by this time, so it seemed wise to stay on our intended route. However, we didn't know what sort of rescue would be attempted, so we wanted to contact the outside world and discover what was being done. We might also have been able to obtain transport to take us out. Accordingly, two fast walkers spent four hours going to the nearest telephone (at Yerranderie) while the rest waited by the river.
