-'July 2, 39 4 There is a classic Test walk from Kanangra by way of Cloud- maker,. avilla Plateau, Stockyard Spur and Gingra Creek. A steady plod to Cloudmaker, Good views from Thi1la, a scramble down the chains on Compagnoni's Pass (sparing a thought for the ones who went down before the chains were placed there by the University of N.S.w. Bushwalkers in March, 1963)9 eyes open to take the correct change of direction on the Buttress, a quick descent of Stockyard Spur, a lush campsite on the glorious Kowmung, and Sunday in beautiful Gingra Creek where you can still see traces of the Cedar Road which was used to get the Red Cedar out around the turn of the century, and a steepish climb out of the creek to Cottage Rock on the Gingra Range.
-Please note that the nominal leader is unable to fulfill his obligation this weekend and therefore a substitute leader is needed. Will someone please fill the breach?

The route will follow a known creek to the plateau and an unknown creek back to the valley. Mt. Dawson on the watershed between the Wolgan and Capertee Rivers is a platform of worn sandstone and from this eyrie there are spectacular views near and far. A notable feature of the Wolgan-Capertee area is the way the rock has weathered into pagoda formations.|

Can we do better on this occasion? The location of the practice will be the Wild Dog Mountains and the assembly point will be at Medlow Gap on the Friday night. There will be a 7.30 a.m. start on Saturday morning and the practice will finish at 3.00 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. On Saturday night there will be a campfire and singsong. On Sunday there will be a reappraisal of Saturday's exercises and a demonstration of special techniques. An important divergence from the procedure of previous years (when there was one search) will be that each club will have its own search and rescue and each club group should consist of at least six members.

+|July 23,24,25|Henry Lawson's river, the Cudgegong, has its source up near Mt. Coricudgy, 30 miles east of Rylstone. Peter Franks walks you by fire road from the old Sawmill on the Cudgegong to the denuded summit of the great mountain, then plunges down through the bush to Jones' Hole, and lock to the Sawmill across the pleasant flat country around Gavin's Swamp. The Northern Blue Mountains abound in formations to which the old timers gave the name of "Holes". They occur in areas of volcanic soil or shale that has weathered away, leaving a "hole" surrounded by sandstone, usually in the form of cliffs through which the stream finds its outlet by a narrowish opening. The soil being fertile, the trees are tall and straight and in marked contrast to those of the surrounding sandstone. Nobody seems to have knowledge of Jones' Hole, but it would undoubtedly be like the others.... well worth a visit. The Cudgegong usually has frosty nights and clear days in winter, so bring your woolies with you.
