 In the early afternoon we saw the view from the gap between the Endrick and the Clyde where on the previous trip there had been only a thick mist. Even on this occasion our stay was interrupted by a most fierce rain and wind squall. We then climbed up what appeared to be a low gap between the two branches of the Endrick, but I decided that the creek on the other side ran into the Clyde and was not our way. Unfortunately, I was mistaken, and we lost half a day through this error. While endeavouring to find a way up to the tops we walked along hundreds of yards of overhang after the style of Wombat Parade in the Blue Mountains and would have camped there had water been available. We were forced to drop down into the creek where we found a cave without delay.
-(It sounds as though Jean and Ray had travelled out over the plateau of Endrick Trig, made their way down into the tops of the Endrick system - later Sally Creek, now Styles Creek - and thence on to the wombat parades west of Shrouded Gods Mountair).

 On previous trips signs of the use of this country by aboriginals had been discovered  first the remarkable bora ground, then the caves with "hands" in them. In a wind cave off our large cave this night there was a perfect axe head which excited Jean so much that she wanted to bring it back. I felt its weight and declined. I could, however, without much difficulty find this cave again and I returned the axe to its position, which was probably the reason for its excellent preservation. Whether the aboriginals did use this country a lot I don't know - it may be that it is just country where evidence would survive - but the number of wallabies and kangaroos in it is tremendous. Even this may not have always been so: the poor animals may have been driven here beyond the pale of civilisation. For it is beyond the pale. There appears to be no worthwhile timber and no grazing so the area is practically untouched. The valleys are heavily grassed with no signs of erosion and water is abundant, even in a droughty time, in crystal streams. I could only assign the good flow of the streams to the country being in its pristine state. The area is covered with animal pads of such size that it is difficult to remember that they are not made by domesticated animals.

 The programme for June, July and August having been compiled and printed, we now move on to September, October and November, the Spring months of the year when everyone's fancy is supposed to turn to something or other. May it turn to thoughts of heroic things such as leading walks. And remember! It is never too early to put a walk on the programme!

+Dear Jim,
 Re Bouddi State Park.
 This is an open letter which I hope you will publish.
 The article on Bouddi Natural Park (April magazine) was written many years ago, and I should have read it before giving it to Dot (Butler) for publication.
 Bouddi Park is now Bouddi State Park. It is sad that the name "Natural" has been dropped and the origin of the park forgotten.
-It is worse than gad that Daphne Ball (who became Daphne EcKern a - few years ago) and succeeded me as Secretary of the Park died only a short time ago. She belonged to the C.M.w. and was a conservationist all her bush walking life, and the conservation movements will miss her very muck indeed.

 Yours truly,
 Marie B. Byles.
