 A National Park should be truly national... perhaps, in the enlightened years to come, international! What Victoria or Tasmania or Queensland or Where-you-will does with her primitive lands is as much my business as the New South Wales lands. In these matters at least, the whole nation or the whole human race, is as one. A National Park should be truly national... perhaps, in the enlightened years to come, international!

-Victoria has sixteen National Parks (See ITational Parks of Victorie Town and Country Planning Association of Victoria) and 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 Kinglake National Park from Seymour through Kerrisdale, climbed up the Main Divide along the magnificent King Parrot Creek skirting Mt. 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.+Victoria has sixteen National Parks (See ITational Parks of Victoria Town and Country Planning Association of Victoria) and some of these, together with certain proposals, came under review in our Victorian National Parks Tour during the 1952-53 Christmas - New Year Period.

 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. To the newcomer the Park is a mystery.

 The Main Range is but lightly elevated plain, west through Kilmore, Lancefield and Woodend with Mount Macedon rising in no uncertain manner. Macedon reminded one of that outstanding South Coast landmark... Dromedary... the Camel's Hump of Macedon completing the illusion. It is little wonder that the Mount attracted the attention of Sir Thomas Mitchell on his return from his meeting with the Henty Brothers at Portland. It is recorded that "while the boat carriage was being repaired on the Campaspe, Mitchell made an excursion of about 30 miles to the South... climbed and named Mount Macedon, from which he viewed Port Phillip." Unfortunately, the haze prevented our seeing the Port but we could determine the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne and enjoyed a magnificent view westward along the Main Divide through Trentham and Daylesford. Like the surrounding districts of Kyneton and Woodend, Macedon is basalt-capped. All the Central Highlands are rich with lush feed and green pasture grasses... a most impressive piece of country. One wonders what the tenure of the land about Mt. Macedon is... there are numerous farms and houses, but the tops should surely be a National Monument. The Main Range is but lightly elevated plain, west through Kilmore, Lancefield and Woodend with Mount Macedon rising in no uncertain manner.

-In the Report of the State (Victorian) Development Committee on National Parks, there appears a recommendation for the estahlishment of a Central Highlands National Park. We visited a number of points of interest within the area suggested. The proposed Park would be bounded on the south by the Main Divide from Trentham through Bullarto and Leonard Hill to Wombat, and would cover the headwaters of the Coliban River and the Loddon River as far downstream (north) as Vaughan Springs.+In the Report of the State (Victorian) Development Committee on National Parks, there appears a recommendation for the establishment of a Central Highlands National Park.

 "It has been estimated that 80 per cent of the mineral springs in Australia are concentrated within a radius of 20 miles of Daylesford. Of these, the radioactive Hepburn Springs are, we believe, of such excellent quality as to be unsurpassed by any other spa water in the world" (From the Report). "It has been estimated that 80 per cent of the mineral springs in Australia are concentrated within a radius of 20 miles of Daylesford.

-Access is indeed difficult, and since the Park is of small size strictest control of use and despoliation is vital. It is primarily a National Monument of geological interest and its use ahould jealously guard its scientific features.+Access is indeed difficult, and since the Park is of small size strictest control of use and despoliation is vital.

 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 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.

-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.

 +===Social Report:===
 +
 +Organisation of the Federation Ball to be held at the Paddington Town Hall on Monday, September 14th, is proceeding. Tickets at 17/6d. are now available. Guessing competition to be drawn on July 2nd.
 +
 +===Information:===
 +
 +Paddy Pallin is particularly anxious to obtain information on transport facilities to various walks areas.
 +
 +===Publications:===
 +
 +Editor of "Bushwalker, No.12" outlined general form proposed for publication. There will be 48 pages to sell at 2/- per copy. A pamphlet will shortly be sent out to affiliated Clubs asking for articles.
 +
 +===Warrumbungle National Park:===
 +
 +The Department of Lands will be asked to give Federation representation on the Trust when the Park is gazetted.
 +
 +----
 +
 +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 pub 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.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=====Paddy Made.=====
 +
 +===Bushwalkers' Best Seller.===
 +
 +There is in the press the fifth edition of that modest little volume "Bushwalking & Camping". Just twenty years ago the first vest pocket edition of this work was published at 6d. per copy. The next edition was completely revised and re-written and each edition since has been re-edited. In all 11,500 copies have been sold.
 +
 +Paddy wishes again to acknowledge those who contributed to the success of this work by writing specialised sections of it, namely, Myles Dunphy, the swag expert, 'Mouldy' Harrison, the super light expert, Dorothy Lawry first-aider, Oliver Moriarty, Tom Moppett, Frank Adams, snowmen, Took Kaske, Ken Baynes and the late Les Harwood canoeists, and Bob Savage camera man, and finally my good friend Dick Graves who prodded me into writing the book and gave invaluable assistance in producing it.
 +
 +So here's to the fifth edition and may it soon run out.
 +
 +Paddy Pallin. Lightweight Camp Gear.
 +
 +201 Castlereagh St. Sydney. M2678.
 +
 +----
 +
 +=====Return Train Services - P.M. Sundays.=====
 +
 +This abbreviated time table is prepared for the use of walkers who wish to carry on trips information concerning trains returning to Sydney on Sunday afternoon and evening. It is a club issue, distributed through the magazine for convenience only, and copies are available in the Club Room for those who do not receive the magazine.
 +
 +Only those stations in areas commonly used by walkers are shown. Train times do NOT apply on week days, Saturdays or Holidays. Where frequent electric train services operate, no details are given.
 +
 +Information correct as at June 25th, but subject to alterations. Note "d" denotes - stops to set down only.
