 by "Quisie".

+What makes him do it? With such questions ceaselessly plaguing one from surrounding influences, it seems to become necessary for a bushwalker at some stage in his boot-demolishing career to pause for a moment, and wonder to himself vaguely why he does it; and to think to himself that he must immediately find some reasonable excuse to fall back on when the saner souls of the community question him as to the reasons for his pioneering perambulations.
-bulations.
+Is it just the love of the bush? And, if so, what does one mean by the "love of the bush"? Perhaps it is the sight of nature's loveliness unspoiled by the "Advance of Civilization" -- the colour and shape and perfume of the trees and shrubs and the wild bush flowers -- the bird life and the life of the bush animals -- all so unrestrained and bound only by the ancient and ever just laws of old mother nature.

 Is it just the love of exercise and the knowledge of health and strength gained in the bodyi walking in leafy glens and inhaling the eucalyptus-scented air?
-Is it an outlet to the unconquered problems of daily life, to go forth to be thrilled by the conquest of a Mountain, or that feeling of triumph after a long journey? Or is it the com-)anionship of our friends, the sharing of happiness and difficulties, the camp fires and that free "unfenced in" feeling?
+Is it an outlet to the unconquered problems of daily life, to go forth to be thrilled by the conquest of a mountain, or that feeling of triumph after a long journey? Or is it the companionship of our friends, the sharing of happiness and difficulties, the camp fires and that free "unfenced in" feeling?
 Possibly there is a sprinkling of all of these in our reasons for tramping about in the bush, but underlying them all is the interest in life. The life and growth of the bush, of our friends, and of ourselves. Thus the protection of nature's handiwork from unthinking hands. But would this protection be necessary if more realised and appreciated the beauty of bushland? Does not this point to a more zealous effort on our part to encourage others to become interested in our clubs, to join up and promote the welfare of bushwalking; we should take care that our constitutional rules are not exclusive but rather most inclusive.

-No.1 "SYDNEY BUSHWALKER ANNUAIP,Apri1,1934,was sold out years ago, of course, but the Melbourne Walking Club is now trying to secure a copy as it finds that this is the only number missing from its file of the "Sydney Bushwalker" and "The Bushwalker" Annuals. It seems a pity, doesn't it that a file of ten years' issues should be incomplete by just this-one magazine? Yes; well that's what the Melbourne Walking Club feels, too. "Mouldy" Harrison has therefore been commissioned to use every effort to secure a second-hand copy.
