 This month a happy Mother's day, Polish National day and Norwegian National day to all.  My call for contributions last month, or whinge if you want to be accurate, has brought  forth some activity.  There are lots of budding authors out there waiting to pick up the pen.
-Wanted. Some one to research and then write articles on the rock carvings at Woy Woy and at Glenbrook Creek.  The Woy Woy carvings are of Egyptian hieroglyphics carved into the sandstone walls of a crevasse near Woy Woy.  Perhaps the carvings when translated have a real meaning. We should be able to find someone who can translate the hieroglyphics.  Were they, as the story goes, carved by two servicemen returned from the first world war?  Or are they simply mindless graffiti. 

 The second carvings, at Glenbrook Creek, are of the 43rd Psalm neatly written into sandstone.
-It would be interesting for someone with time and an investigative flair to research these carvings and determine the who, the when and the why of them.  I'm sure leads can be found from the older members and ex-members of SBW and walking clubs in the Woy Woy and Blue mountains areas. 

 Stephen Doggett who wrote "Ticks! Foes or Friends?" in the January edition of The Sydney Bushwalker has advised that the Department of Medical Entomology now has a web site that deals with ticks, mosquitos and insect transmitted diseases, the site has facts sheets

-Instructions for Authors and Contributors**.
+**Instructions for Authors and Contributors**.
 All are invited to write for The Sydney Bushwalker: members, prospective members and non- members.  The topics normally should have some bearing on bushwalking in its widest sense; walking in any country of the world, any item of bushwalking gear.  The articles may be long or short, happy or sad, fact or fiction.  If fiction you had better say so because we are a gullible lot.   Sometimes topics are suggested in the magazine.  If you want to follow up on such a suggestion, ring me and say so.  It would not do to have 50 or 100 people all writing about the territory making habits of the wombat.
