 - Keith Renwick.
 So you want to come to New Zealand. Well, it's worth it - that's why I'm still here - but perhaps a few points of general interest may help.
 Auckland City itself is very much like Sydney. As far as tramping goes there are two clubs, the Alpine Sports Club and the Auckland Tramping Club, both very good. Main areas for tramping are the Waitakeries, west of Auckland, and the Hunuas on the West Coast of the Thames - mainly rain forest but in the Waitakeries it is more scrubby. Both clubs run trips to Ruapehu for ski-ing in winter.
 Wellington - Windy and Wet. Numerous good clubs tramp (the same thing as bushwalking) in the Rimutaka and Tarrarua Ranges, but mainly the latter which are very wet but beautiful rain forest.
 Christchurch and Dunedin both have several very active clubs, but the country is entirely different - rocky country mainly covered in dead brown grasses. The large areas of beech forest are further out than the cities.

+The one main problem throughout New Zealand as far as weekend trips are concerned is Transport. Unless you have your awn car or hire it, private trips are virtually out at weekends. This is why the clubs are so popular, and between 20 to 60 may turn up for a weekend trip. Some clubs own their own bus, but most are content to hire buses or trucks for the weekend. They usually don't work out any more expensive than train. The large numbers on club trips may sound horrible, but they work out O.K. and you don't notice it after a while. It makes a lot more work for the leader though.

+Jobs at present are very easy to get in practically any line. Board is reasonably easy to get, but good board is very much harder. It varies a little, of course, from 30/- a week bed and breakfast in a large share- or bunk-room, to £3. 5. 0 per week fall board in a 2-man share-room, or £3.10.0 to £3.15. 0 in a single. Some do some don't include lunches and laundry, but the prices remain about the same.

 Out of the cosy, friendly atmosphere of the train and into tile bleak, misty blackness of a wet, winter, Mountains night tramped the five Prospective Norm Potter who had been playing rather successfully at wolf on the journey; his keeper "Bring-'em-in-alive" Ardill; ''Mulga" Mathews complete with lubra cook and dish-washer. Tine Koetsier; and last and definitely least care Yours Truly, claiming somewhat unconvincingly to be the Leader of the outfit.

 The Kedumba Creek quagmire inspired nobody, and even our Casanova became ci,lite subdued as boots sank down heavily into the squelchy mess that purports to be the new road down into the valley. Did I say boots? Well, everyone enjoyed them except the Leader, who now keeps an open mind on the contention hsneakers for everythingl?' A vote of no confidence was taken when the wretched road persisted in going up hill at one stage, but we soon breathed more easily an finding ourselves at the bottom of the valley right at Maxwell's Farm. (Mt. Solitary expeditions, please note.) A camp was struck amid the trees just up from the farmhouse, and While Kevin and Norm sensibly drifted off into slumber, the dogged three fought a steady battle with a watery fire that for the most part wouldn't have kept a pre-heated thermos flask warm on a summer's day. Finally the spirit of man won through and we were rewarded with a piping hot nightcap.
 The morn dawned grey and forbidding and passed away uneventfully on the march to Harry's Humpy where the oranges are still bitterly undernourished at this time of the year. The sun began to shine fit, fully as we walked up that pleasant stretch of the Cox to the mouth of Cedar Creek. "A beaut spot for a campsite", chirped Normal innocently casting a covetous eye over the lush greenery of Cedar Flat. Unmoved by this bit of'whiteanting -L set my sights unswervingly on the valley of Cedar Creek and on we Pushed. After a pleasant hour and a halfls stroll up the lower reaches of this beautiful volley we settled for the junction of Cedar and Berrima-inga Creeks for our Saturday night camp. This flat grassy bank was indeed a peaceful haven, and lazing round a friendly fire where a neat tripod dangled gently-boiling 'billies of delectables (?) I mused that here was the real, tasty core of bushwalhing - if only the urban masses could see us now, how our ranks would overflow with converts.
