-How To Create a Wilderness. 
-Almost six years ago, on a trip from Putty to Mount Uraterer, 
-on the northern catchment of the Colo River system, we crossed Wirraba Creek at the point where it joins Putty Creek and becomes the Wollemi Creek, which is the main northern-rising tributary of the Colo. Farmlands then extended down the Putty Valley to within about half a mile of the junction, but Wirraba or Wollemi Creek was as unspoiled a stream as one could wish to see. It resembled some of the nicest parts of Heathcote Creek, or parts of the Nat tai above Starlight's Track.

 Very recently, coming out to Putty from the Wirraba country we emerged on Wollemi Creek at almost exactly the same point. The difference was appalling. We agreed that never had we seen a virgin stream translated into such a desolation. The original banks had practically disappeared, deep beds of sand had been piled up along and over the lower slopes, which had in places broken down and collapsed into the river. A great tangle of fallen trees added to the miserable chaos. It was a poor, ruined creek and we camped away from its depressing and uncomfortable surroundings. Very recently, coming out to Putty from the Wirraba country we emerged on Wollemi Creek at almost exactly the same point.

-No natural agency could entirely account for the destruction: and in any case there was plenty of evidence to explain it. A timber cutters' road had been driven up the Wirraba (or Wollemd) for some miles, and most of the good timber had been taken out. Bush fires had ranged the ridges, and the cycle of ruin had commenced. Floods had finished the job far too well. In that barren sandstone country, with little left to bind the slopes and river banks, countless tons of sand had moved with the fast waters. We wondered when the timber getters had begun operations, recalling the Chief Secretary's publication of 1950 which forbade cutting of trees an almost every stream in New South Wales for a distance of one chain from the banks. We pondered the futility of such laws Which are not Policed. + 
-We were told in Putty Valley that the timber getting along the Wollemi was nearing an and, and the cutters would abandon the job within several weeks - and no doubt look for some other unspoiled creek to defile. Will time and healing powers in nature restore V:ollend Creek? Perhaps, but it doesn't seem very probable. It appears almost certain that the shocking erosion we noted will extend down the stream towards the Colo, a monument to the avarice and stupidity which parades as "development of resources". +No natural agency could entirely account for the destruction: and in any case there was plenty of evidence to explain it.

However, after presenting his report and following on some discussion, the Conservation Secretary moved that we submit a case to the Lands Department for the resumption of Werong. Since the owners were seeking a sale for something like £1,500, and toying with ideas of getting this amount from timber cutters or guesthouse proprietors, the resumption plot won the support of the meeting. There was also the question of the Mark Morton Reserve which was receiving attention from the Forestry Department. There was a movement to have it dedicated as a Flora Reserve, administered by the Department. This may have certain advantages in that the status of a Flora Reserve could be revoked only by Act of Parliament - but there was some grounds for doubting whether the influence of the Forestry people would benefit the Reserve, since it would certainly open it to "selective" timber cutting. It was resolved to write the Minister for Lands, setting out our views on this Reserve, and request support from Federation and allied conservation groups.

-NATIONAL PARKS OF VICTORIA - by Allen Strom. 
-Allen Strom has kindly made available to us stencils of his report an the National Parks of Victoria, many of which have been 
-visited by Sydney walkers in the course of summer holiday trips. Owing to the length of the report, we are obliged to publish it in serial 
-form spread over three issues of the magazine, but we feel it is a 
-most valuable piece of writing, not only from the viewpoint of the conservationist, but for the comments on places attractive to the 
-walker in a neighbouring State. There is also a sting in the tail where Allen Strom suggests perhaps the most extensive recreation are-a 
-yet envisaged in Australia. 
-REPORT ON THE NATIONAL PARKS OF VICTORIA. 
-..,41, -11 
-flit was in 1870 that the grand idea of the creation of National 
-Parks 'for the benefit and enjoyment of the people' was conceived in the United States of America by Judge Cornelius Hedges. 
-"The important historical significance of this is due to the fact that the idea was vigorously developed and translated into reality by the creation by Congress in 1872 of the Yellowstone National Park, an area of over two million acres .. the first National Park in the world." (1) 
-In the eighty years that have elapsed since 1872, the world has toyed with the concept of National Parks and numerous countries have made various attempts, enlightened and otherwise, to follow the American lead. 0-eneral1y, failures have been due to a lack of understanding of What a National Park should attempt to do... or else steps to dedicate lands to the people were taken too late! 
-In its report On "National Parks in Victoria", the Town and Country Planning Association of that State has said .. "A National Park is generally considered to be an area of land reserved for the preservation of its natural features, its flora and fauna, and to provide facilities for popular enjoyment and open-air recreation for the people." I can't agree that this is a good definition, 
-although it certainly contains some important observations; it also indeed poses the problems that administrators have had to face. For how long for example, can "the preservation of natural features flora and fauna" remain compatible with "the popular enjoyment and 
-open-air recreation for the people". The usual fashion in which 
-the latter is interpreted would mean Sports and Playing Fields, and the destruction of naturalness to provide so-called develop- 
-ments and:.tourist facilities. On the other hand, we would be the first to admit the need to enoourage the popular enjoyment and open-air recreation" if it means contemplation of natural beauty and the study of wildlife; and indeed, no area of natural primitive land should be locked away entirely from the people (although there is a strong case for some areas of very limited access). 
-So we want a scheme "for the protection of landscape beauty and 
-the encouragement of open-air recreation in wild and unspoilt country which would be a great national investment yielding unlimited returns in health and happiness, in opportunities for the enjoyment of country pursuits and interests and in new growth of understanding between town and country." (National Parks Committee Report, England, July, 1945.) It is interesting that this statement from England might. be taken as another interpretation of th.e ideal of Caloola.

-Victorian National Parka ... 
-A National Park should be inviolate .. remaining for all time for the unborn generations. KowIalouiolio the recont "swapN of 
-a portion of the Mt. Field National Park so that a paper-pulp 
-firm could "develop" the timber! A National Park should be a 
-closed environment .. an ecological equilibrium that will not, 
-of itself, be destroyed.. The solution would appear to be in 
-areas of extensive size so that plants and animals and the "feeling of the wild" are satisfied in all respects; but some small areas may serve to protect places of geological or other interest .. these would be National Monuments. 
-think it is quite plain that we waste our time with reservations that can be lost to the people by a Ministerial minute. Any area of land that is worth keeping should be dedicated by such an Act of Parliament that requires the whole matter to be ventilated be- 
-fore action is taken to revoke the dedication. This would allow 
-the people to speak and to know what is afoot. It presumes of 
-course, that there would be sufficient public interest to prevent robbery of the nation should it occur; and this in turn throws 
-the onus onto ourselves .. we, who know the "call of the wild" 0. 
-111. The need to preserve for the use of the people, reserves 
- where individuals may relax in the enjoyment of scenic beauty and natural surroundings. 
-112. The necessity to conserve for the benefit and enjoyment 
- of present and future generations, fauna, flora, national wonders, historic landmarks, and objects of historic, scientific or antiquarian interest." 
-It seems apparent that the appreciation of these things and the realisation of their value comes only with education .. a spec- 
-ific education that aims to bring the pupil face to face with the beauty of the primitive and the need to preserve it. For our 
-own part, the enjoyment of the wild is not enough .. we need to pass on the book of knowledge with the left hand and the sword of vigilance with the right. 
-A National Park should be truly national perhaps, in the en- 
-lightened years to come, international! What Victoria or Tasmania or Queensland or Where-you-will does with her primitive 
-lands is as much my businpss as the New South Wales lands. In 
-these matters at least, the whole nation or the whole human race, is as one. 
-Victoria has sixteen National Parks k a.nd some of these, together with certain proposals, came under review in our Victorian National Parks Tour during the 1952-53 Christmas - New Year Period. We moved into the Kinglahe National Park from Seymour through

Disappointment (made famous by the exploits of Hume and Hovell) to West King1ake (Tommy's Hut). The Kinglake Plateau extends for about twelve miles along the crest of the Plenty Ranges, a portion of the Main Divide travelling east-west at this point, and varying from 1600 to 2100 feet in height. Practically the whole of the Park lies on the southern slopes of the Divide... about 22 square miles (14,000 acres) of splendidly timbered spurs and thickly wooded valleys. It is pretty evident that the gullies would contain a wealth of native fauna including the lyre bird.

-cr; +To the newcomer the Park is a mystery. There is little to indicate the extent or nature of the various points of contact in the parklands and it was very difficult to obtain a map of the area. When a map was obtained it was some years old. This map showed that the park was a disjointed affair consisting of two incomplete and unconnected parts (a third at Wombelano Falls is small) giving the impression that the park has been thrown together from the "left-over" Crown Lands. The reservations in most parts, cover portions of ridges and valleys which would appear to have but one evitable result when full development of alienated lands takes place in the district... the exposure of the habitats of plants and animals it is desired to protect. In some instances, the heads of creeks are not included in the reservation and in another only one side of a valley comes in the park. We paid a visit to Sugarloaf Peak reputed to have "one of the finest views in the whole Kinglake District" only to find that the growth of scrub completely obscured the view. (Even the intrepid climbing of trees was of little avail.) We camped the night at Masons Falls... a pleasant spot.

The males thinking of beer, and the ladies determined to keep an eye on the thirsty ones, would ensure a fair percentage concluding the trek. In planning the walk I suggest the Railway Department consider starting from a publess town and placing the finishing post in a town with a pub or two.

 The choice of leaders could lead to some interesting situations. Fancy losing a whole trainload of walkers. What fame! Did someone whisper St. Helena? On the other hand, with one notorious duo as co leaders, I can see one portion of the hike arriving at Leura, the other at Blackheath, with the train waiting impatiently at Katoomba. The choice of leaders could lead to some interesting situations.

-16. +It is inevitable that trikers will be influenced by the habits of their respective leaders. I can see Bill Rodgers leading a trip and leaving behind a trainload of converted vegos. Pity the leader on the following trike as he produces a large steak in front of hundreds of converted celery crunchers. The poor blighter would be lucky to escape with his life in the face of a meat hungry stampede. Or "Clem's converts crunched cucumbers, cosily, comfortably, contemplating country cycloramas".

-At a rough guess eighty or ninety people (including a few visitors) were present for the night of the Photo. Exhibition. The display was slightly smaller than that of the last two or three years, and there was a dearth of material from some of the "old faithfuls'' amongst the Club's Photographers, but most of the exhibits were on show for the first tine, and several new names appeared under most attractive studies. +----

-You know the old fable of the prospective giving the leader a cup of tea in bed? Well, it only happens once in a while, of course. However, Eric Pegram, when in Christchurch, N.Z., lately, was lucky enough to have complete meals served to him by another S.B.W. member. Yes, he booked in at the Dub where Pat Sullivan was ekeing out existence as a waitress (between trips). Pegram, cad that he is, was trying to photograph Patsy from beneath his table as she produced the viands.
