Confederation have held discussions with some sub-group of the Sporting Shooters Association. There was a recent call out to search for two trail bike riders in the Shoalhaven area. It seems they had run out of petrol. NPA will take up Confederation insurance for a limited number of their members. The equation for this looks more like a zero-sum every time it gets a mention. | Confederation have held discussions with some sub-group of the Sporting Shooters Association.

On Monday we took the Horse Camp turnoff and the aqueduct track on the west side of Munyang River. It had patchy snow along it, so it was skis on, skis off, right up to Schlink Pass, where the snow cover was consistent. We became very proficient over the following days at clicking bindings into place as we stepped back on to a patch of snow for a brief slide. As Anton said, you had to watch out for the snow between the grass and bushes in case you slipped! | On Monday we took the Horse Camp turnoff and the aqueduct track on the west side of Munyang River.
