"Throughout her life at Warrah" Miss Bexley writes, "Miss Crommelin fought for the preservation of the natural bush in the area. She relentlessly pursued and prosecuted people who picked flowers in the area and often paid the fine if she thought they were poor. She carried on a voluminous correspondence with Members of Parliament, pressing for more National Parks to be gazetted, and for active research for the conservation and protection of the native fauna and flora. I find it sad that in her last years she felt she had failed: actually she had accomplished far more than most people, and the award of the M.B.E. in the New Year's Honours List of 1959 gave public recognition of her achievements."

-Next morning I persuaded two of the party to leave at about 8.30 a m. with the lightest of the 2 tents to hitch-hike to Banff, our next stop, early enough to secure a decent place for our camp on the Tunnel Mountain camp ground. It was about 40 miles to Banff, and if we'd waited until the train at around 3 p m. all the good sites would most likely have gone. The other two left together, leaving the two of us to pack up the rest of the camp. We got a lift with a couple who had parked a trailer caravan next to us, and were going on to the Banff site too. We reached the camp-site gate at the same time as the advance party, who had walked at least 6 miles carrying the tent, and were hot and tired, and not very amused at the joke. We quite recovered after a swim in the warm springs and a visit to the local bar. This was our first chance to get fresh meat since the trip started ten days before, so I went shopping, and we had a monstrous meal of steak, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions, plus homemade blueberry and apple pies and cream. +Next morning I persuaded two of the party to leave at about 8.30 a.m. with the lightest of the 2 tents to hitch-hike to Banff, our next stop, early enough to secure a decent place for our camp on the Tunnel Mountain camp ground.

-EQUIPMENT + 
-******************* +Our first day'walk took us past the bulk of Cradle Mountain and to Waterfall Valley Hut. The high open country afforded good views to the south where the track passes close to East Pelion and Mount Ossa, the latter being the highest mountain in Tasmania. The low coarse scrub along the track gave birth to delicate and beautiful blooms. About 1½ miles from Waterfall Valley a track branches off to the west, winding its way through the low scrub, past several small tarns, over mossy clumps and up a small hill until it ascends the slopes of Barn Bluff. Climbing upwards the low tough scrub gives way to the lichen covered rubble heaps at the base of the massive dolorite cliffs. Rock cairns show the way to the weakness in the cliff long since broached by walkers. The last 200 yards to the top along the summit ridge is broken jagged rock. Lizards stand aloof as we pass to gaze at their view and then leave to find others.

-IF YOU ARE  +nether group was already occupying Waterfall Valley Hut. A suitable campsite was chosen about 50 yards from the hut. Tents were erected on the long grass and a fire lit on the old fire under the low trees. The creek flowed past within 10 ft of our fireFirewood has become quite scarce and rather long trips were necessary to collect even moderate amounts. 
-BUYING OR HIRING HIRING OR BUYING + 
-GEAR FOR +Having left Waterfall Valley Hut to walk to Lake Windermere we climbed up a ridge for about a mile, finally gaining the exposed open country which continued to within a mile or so of Windermere. A side track to Lake Will branches off in this area. Small tarns dot the area, while to the west and southwest can be seen several larger sheets of water.

-THINK OF +Windermere Hut was found to be delapidated and dirty with no handy water. A campsite on the shores of Lake Windermere ½ a mile distant was preferred. Barry collected firewood by throwing a stick tied to about 30 ft. of tough terylene cord over dead branches, catching hold of both ends and pulling. This method proved most useful in areas that had been overcamped.

-17 Alexander Street Crow's Nest. 2065. (On the corner of Falcon Street) Telephone 439-34540 +After leaving Windermere, the track passes through forest, then out on to more open country, passes close to Mt. Pelion West and then drops steeply down through low trees and mossy myrtle forest to burst on to the green grass of Frog Flat. An ideal spot for lunch before the inevitable uphill climb to Pelion Huts.

This superbly situated hut is a victim of pollution. What thoughts spring to your mind? Mining operations, tree cutting, road building or drowning - wrong every time. This time it's caused directly by the people using the park. Throughout the whole park we found evidence that points to the increasing use of the park by people who do not hold any respect for its appearance or hygiene. Dirty campsites were commonplace and in one hut a fire was found burning hours after the previous occupants had left. This was a wooden hut where dry grass and leaves are used as bedding with a liberal amount spilt on the floor. All of these other instances pale when compared to the environs of Pelion Hut where human decadence has ebbed to an all time low. Literally hundreds of human droppings made pretty with different coloured flags littered the ground between 20 and 100 yds radially from the hut. Tins of all descriptions could be found within direct line of sight of the front door. Bottles, paper and plastic containers were prolific. Rotting food scraps, at least in one heap, were less than 10 ft. from the door. As everybody else says "Something should be done".
