-We camped on Mitchell'Creek, walked along the road towards Carlons, and took the ridge on the left after going through Duncan's Gate. It was a clean, straight ridge going up, as good ridges should, without losing any height. On the way up we crossed the road on which there is a timber platform but no hut, and after that the ridge goes up very steeply to the rocks. At the rocks we looked first at a possible tree, but its looks were not pleasant, so we chose instead a narrow cleft.+We camped on Mitchells Creek, walked along the road towards Carlons, and took the ridge on the left after going through Duncan's Gate. It was a clean, straight ridge going up, as good ridges should, without losing any height.

At the rocks we looked first at a possible tree, but its looks were not pleasant, so we chose instead a narrow cleft.
  
 Marion Ellis, being very tiny, was sent up first and managed to squeeze herself into the cleft and get up safely. Dorothy Hazluck tried next and got stuck, took all the skin off her hands and dropped down, a gory mess. Edna Garrad then followed but, realizing the limitations of her person did not try the interior of the cleft. Instead she climbed on Harry Ellis's shoulders and thence on the outside of the rock and, when up, the next people had the advantage not only of Harry's shoulders but also of her legs. Finally, after all the rucksacks had been hauled up, Harry came up barefooted. Marion Ellis, being very tiny, was sent up first and managed to squeeze herself into the cleft and get up safely.

 After that we had some little search for a way up the balance of the cliffs, but at least we found a chimney on the right and there were no more difficulties. We arrived on the Narrow Neck Plateau at 10 a m.

-====== At Our Meeting ======+===== At Our Meeting ===== 
 + 
 +For the second time in the Club's History, the King's Birthday got all mixed up with our monthly General Meeting, and this year the Honorary Secretary, (Tom Moppett), scanned the Constitution even more anxiously than his predecessor (Richard Croker) had done last year, since a further complication this June was the President's wedding. Section 10, sub-section E, of the Constitution, says, "Fifteen Members present at any general meeting shall constitute a quorum", and as eighteen were present by 8.25 p.m. the meeting was opened and Mr.Maurie Berry was elected to the chair. 
 + 
 +As each additional member appeared, the Assistant secretary, the Chairman and our Special Reporter, simultaneously altered their attendance figures, but we can only state that the highest number present at any one time was twenty four, although we understand that another seven members were in the entrance lobby, as usual! By the way, it would be helpful if all those members who prefer talking to attending meetings or lectures would note that there is no glass above the door between the entrance lobby and the main room. Their conversation would be much less disturbing if they assembled in the committee room. 
 + 
 +Proceeding to business, and progressing to the correspondence, the meeting learned that Mr.Norbert Carlon has again been re-elected an Honorary Member of the Club - under the Constitution this has to be done each year. Yes, it's all right, folks, Mrs.Carlon is still an Honorary Member, too, but she was originally elected at a different time of the year. 
 + 
 +Other members mentioned were Gwen Lawrie, "Griff" (Mrs.Edith Truscott), and Frank Freeguard, who have all transferred from the Active to the Non-Active List. 
 + 
 +Several circulars have been received from the Federation, one being a preliminary announcement of a Working Bee at Maitland Bay next May. The Trustees of Bouddi Natural Park want help in erecting a sheltershed complete with tank so there will be good water available at Maitland Bay instead of the present well water. They are also anxious to have tracks constructed from the northern end of Killcare Beach to Maitland Bay so that walkers can avoid the road if they wish; from Maitland Bay over the hills to Little Beach; and an improved track from the Bay up to the road. All affiliated Clubs have been asked to include this Working Bee on 1lth/12th May 1940, as a fixture on their Walks Programmes. 
 + 
 +Another Federation circular reported progress towards securing Rooms for the Federation and asked clubs each to appoint a representative to inspect any suggested rooms. Mr. Frank Duncan will act for and report to the S.B.W. 
 + 
 +Yet another circular announced the appointments of Mr. Alex Colley as Hon.Secretary to the Conservation Bureau and Mr.Norrie Macdonald as an Assistant Secretary of the Federation, in place of Mr. R.E. Mitchell who recently resigned from these offices. 
 + 
 +Finally, the Federation asked for club representatives for this year's Ball Committee, and it was announced that our Hon.Social Secretary, Miss Edna Garrad, will represent the S.B.W.

If that is the case you might care to take a look round this part some week-end. I am on a road running from Lower Portland, on the Hawkesbury river, to its junction with the new Upper Colo-Putty-Singleton road. There is no other habitation between here and Lower Portland nine miles away and the road, though rough, is quite negotiable - but only by an experienced driver. From here to the junction of the Putty road the surface is not so bad, merely requiring care in a few places. All this district is shown well in the latest N.R.M.A. week-end tour map, and this is called the Wheelbarrow Road. I have not seen the Kanangra Walls, but have been to Oberon, Jenolan Caves, and down the Burragorang Valley to Yeranderie and so I know a little about scenery. The views about here are not comparable and yet I think you would appreciate the trip.
