 Deep Pass and the Wollemi again. From the cars an easy stroll down to the "village green" with its own creek of pure crystal water below a wall of dark sandstone cliffs; what a lovely camping spot and a light-hearted, fun-filled weekend it was too. And my first walk with the Club as a fully fledged Member: That honour constituted some hard work I can tell you.

 On the **second** day of Christmas 1995 twenty of us met at the designated place and the designated time, namely lunchtime at the Jindabyne shopping centre, to start our Christmas Snowy walk. Then Jindabyne was alive with walkers from three SBW Snowy walks. A simple Day-Oo would have assembled a quorum for a general meeting! After a last minute fast-food feeding frenzy we set off in great expectation for the car park at Munyang power station (aka Guthega power station); just down the road about 35 km. At the car park as we changed into bushwalking gear we twenty, that's George M with his nineteen followers, met up briefly with George W with his 10 followers of the other walk.

 The carnivorous amongst us sizzled their dinners happily and everyone had a great time in spite of the skies opening up during the evening. Not to be easily dissuaded, we quickly re-grouped under the narrow verandah surrounding the courtyard, hoping the rain mould soon ease .... but it didn't. As it turned out this was a warning of the type of wet summer Sydney has since been experiencing ever since. At least we haven't had to worry about bush fires!

 **SBW Christmas Party**
 **December 20**
 Determined not to be caught again by the weather, we set up inside the clubroom for the annual Christmas bash. Tony Holgate's children worked hard on the decorations for some hours before the party, blowing up balloons and draping streamers everywhere. Then the members started to arrive and quickly filled the clubroom to bursting point. Many of us spilled out on to the verandah and into the halls to attempt quieter chats, but mostly we crowded together enjoying the opportunity to catch up with lots of walking friends we hadn't seen for a while.

 Nearly every tree, shrub and animal a visitor from abroad sees in the Australian landscape is new, save for a few like the eucalypts which are widely planted across the world. Australia is a continent with a unique collection of plants and animals organised in ecological communities that are found nowhere else. This is a heritage to be saved for all time.

-**by Geoff Grace**
 The following contribution from Geoff Grace is about leadership. It's about the epic voyage of Captain William Bligh in an open boat from Fiji to Timor in 1789 and Geoff has pointed out that "It is relevant to Club activities as it is a story about leadership. When the objective is to get from A to B there must be a leader. Bligh proved himself an extremely competent and disciplined leader".
@@ Line 325: / Line 312: @@
 Bligh had no doubts as to his own authority. He wrote always in the first person:
-"... it was about 8-o'clock at night when I bore away under a reefed lug sail, and having divided into two watches and got the boat into a little order without a single map, and nothing but my own recollection and general knowledge of the situation of places assisted by an old book of latitudes and longitude to guide **me** ..

"
 Bligh's "own recollections and general knowledge of the situation of places" was considerable. Amongst other notable experiences, he had been an officer on Cook's third and final voyage which ranged the length and breadth of the Pacific. Bligh mentions Cook a few times in the log, including Bligh's personal involvement in an attack by natives following Cook's death.

 Bligh had a bad temper and a sharp tongue however, the highly objective log of that remarkable shows that under the most extreme circumstances, Bligh was a resolute and competent leader.

 There were a few happenings on my Snowy Mountains Walk over the Christmas New Year period that caused me to think about the attractions of group walking particularly on overnight and extended walks. It seems that almost from the moment we pick up the back pack and walk away from the cars we each take our place in a little tribe. A small self contained cooperative unit with a goal and a purpose. We have a leader - which frees us from most responsibilities - and we belong. We seem to look forward to the small challenges that lie ahead and know that they will be tackled as a group and we have that subconscious confidence that everything will work out OK no matter what.
-I Believe that we always gain a little more of the quiet self confidence that comes from having tested and perhaps extended ourselves a little.
+I believe that we always gain a little more of the quiet self confidence that comes from having tested and perhaps extended ourselves a little.
 This particular walk was planned as an extended pleasure trip and I'm sure that that was how everyone found it to be. However it was interesting to see some of the people interactions within the party. There were twenty of us so there was plenty to see and hear.
