 We had planned to go up Reedy Creek if possible and join the road shown on the map between it and Washedaway Creek and then follow the road back to the car. We had some misgivings. First the Yalwal map is one prepared by the Lands Dept, and their maps often show surveyed roads which do not exist on the ground. Secondly, we were not quite certain where our car was on the map. We had visions of plunging through the scrub in the dark hunting for a car. Good luck was with us, however. First, the creek was a little gem. It had carved out for itself a lovely gorge of multicoloured slate and the clear stream formed numerous crystal pools, which were a welcome change from the muddy river. Every few hundred yards we were faced with a seemingly vertical cliff, but each time we found the gorge turned and a way out for us. We left the main creek at map ref. 060862 and soon emerged on the ridge, and wonder of wonders, found the road as marked within 500 yds. There was even a rough signpost. Tom s Place(L) and Reedy Ck(R),	The locals evidently- go down to the river that way.

 The story should really end there but evidently we had used up all our luck. Paul had a flat tyre, broke his jack in the process of changing wheels, and we had to lift the car by man-power. We left the others at

-From there down the ridge it was a gradual descent, then one reaches Barallier's Cwn, which sticks out like a sore thumb, ' If mist didn't persist one would get a spectacular view from the top. Ascending this seemed quite simple, but on the descent, on one particular face, a boulder hung loosely and when one climbed under it, all that could be done was to hope the thing wouldn't hit you on the head. But finally it gave way and nearly clairind Roger its victim. Then onwards down to Christy's Creek was a fair drop, everyone running most of the way, until one point about 70 and covered with loose top soil. Here one can throw themselves over onto the slope and slide most of the way down to the Creek. After cooling our feet in the chilly waters, we shoved on to camp. Only one swim had to be made which wasn't as cold as we thought it would be.

 It has been announced that Mawson Pacific Ltd, will build an artificial harbour at the beach for loading 50,000 ton bulk coal ships. Along with the 3000 ft. breakwater and conveyor belt loading equipment, a complete town will be built for 20,000 people, with hotel-motel and a golf course.

 WHAT KIND OF EXPEDITION IS IT?
-The aims of the expedition may be regarded as twofold. Firstly, the expedition has an extensive mountaineering programme and 11 attempt unclimbe d peaks and new routes on peaks up to 20,000 ft. in the Peruvian Andes1 Se co-n d , the expedition has planned a valuable scientific programme.

 WHO'S BACKING THE EXPEDITION?
-Sir Edmund Hillary is the expedition s patron . The expedition also has the full support of the New Zealand Alpine Club. Financial support is being sought from the Mount Everest Foundation, large Australian Compa nie s an d Australian Bush-walking and Mountaineering Clubs .

+Sir Edmund Hillary is the expeditions patron. The expedition also has the full support of the New Zealand Alpine Club. Financial support is being sought from the Mount Everest Foundation, large Australian Companies and Australian Bush-walking and Mountaineering Clubs .
+WHEN WILL THE EXPEDITION TAKE PLACE?
 The Expedition will take place in May, June, July and August of 1969. The expedition plans to be in the mountains for a full three months.
-ISN'T THAT  MS' WINTER MONTHS?
+ISN'T THAT THE WINTER MONTHS?
-Ye s, -th is is the winter for Peru but be cause Peru is situated so close
-to the equator it is subjected to monsoonal weather. Thus Peru gets Unstable weather in the summer months and fine settled -weather in the winter months.
-WHERE IS TH73 EXPEDITION GOING?
+Yes, this is the winter for Peru but be cause Peru is situated so close to the equator it is subjected to monsoonal weather. Thus Peru gets unstable weather in the summer months and fine settled weather in the winter months.
-The expedition will operate in the Pumasillo Group of the Cordillera Vilcabamba in.South-eastern Peru.
-WHER7i'S THAT?
+WHERE IS THE EXPEDITION GOING?
-'Between the gigantic chasm of the Vilcazota River (called Urubamba
-in its lower	) and the Alpurimac River, the Cordillera Vilcabamba stretches for about sixty miles. It is divided into three groups. The eastern-most group is dominated by Salcantay (20,5511), the highest peak of the region, a lonely summit against lilhich its immediat e neighbours can har dly compete. About 30 miles further west rises the second and completely different massif, a series of summit s of more or le ss equal height arranged in ridges, separated only in insignificant ridge depressions and culminating in the summit of Pumasillo (19,9301), to which the group owes it s name. Further west, alre ady near the bend of the Alpurimac Gorge, stands the Panta group, sorrewhat lower than those just mentioned but due to the rugged country and deep valleys, it has similar differences in elevation with equally bold for ms.
-Of these three massifs, Salcantay lies nearest to Cusco within reach of modern transport.	For this reason it was climbed first and has been ascended since; The way to Puma,sillo is longer; the Americans and George Band (one of the British Everest party) attempted it in vain. However in 1957 an Englidi Expedition from Cambridge found the ar:-z-ach after a search lasting over a fortnight.
-The Pumasillo group contains six peaks over 19,0001. These lie on the range running approximately NW-SE and extend from Lasunayoc (20,0101) in the south, over Purnasillo (19,9301) to Mitre in the north. Radiating out from this main ridge are a series of ridges with many peaks over 17,0001.
-WHAT KILL THE F.,XPE'DJIC ION CLIMB?
+The expedition will operate in the Pumasillo Group of the Cordillera Vilcabamba in South-eastern Peru.
-For the three months that the team will be in the field a fairly extensive programme is planned.	The first problem is to transport into base camp the large amount of equipment and three months supply of food that will be required to keep the team in the field, This will be carried by mule train on a journey that will take up to two weeks.
-The first climbing obctive will be the unclimbed Yanacooha (over 18,000 ft.) which is the most westerly peak of the Yanama Range which is in the southern part of the Pumasillo Group. The expedition will then attempt three other unclimbed peaks of the Yanama Range (all about 18,000 ft) and
-two unclimbed peaks over 18,000 ft on the main divide. An attempt will then be made to make the first ascent of the N.E. ridge of Lasunayoc (20,010 ft.) which is the highest in the group. If the expedition is successful on these objectives it will go further north and attempt new routes on some of the northern peaks in the group.
-WHAT IS THIS MEDICAL RESEARCH PROGRE ABOUT?
+WHERE'S THAT?
-The medical research programme will be conducted by Dr. John. Sutton and will study  fundamentals of Exercise Physiology, particularly aspects of Heart and Glandular function as yet unknown.
-Cardiovascular studies include original work concerned with the initial mechanisms controlling heart rate and will be a valuable extension of research performe d at Garvin Institute of Medical Research at St. Vincent Is Elio spit al, Sydney,	(The Control of Heart Rate - Sutton, J. R.; Cole k; Gunning, J; iiickie, J.B. , Seldon, .A. LANCET, 1967) Various examinations will be required and include Blood Pressure, Electrocardiographic and Intrinsic Heart Rate measurements.
