 The Wollemi National Park will cover 502,000 hectares (502 sq km, in more familiar terms) and will be the second-largest park in N.S.W. after the Kosciusko National Park. The new park will be almost entirely a wilderness park, and Sydney is very fortunate in having this area so close - 80 km from the city centre. Bushwalkers like ourselves, who have always walked in the area, will no doubt use the park much more as future petrol costs and reductions force us to stay closer to home. The Wollemi National Park will cover 502,000 hectares (502 sq km, in more familiar terms) and will be the second-largest park in N.S.W. after the Kosciusko National Park.

-On April 27th, the Federal Government handed over its harbour foreshore defence lands to be added to, and complete, the Sydney Harbour National Park. A total of 376 hectares was added to the park, the largest area being North Head. Other areas include South Head, Middle Head and Dobroyd Head. Sadly, this is not entirely a vict,ry, for in exchange a large area of Jervis Bay, The Beecroft Peninsular, formally leased to the Federal Government, is now to be federally owned.+On April 27th, the Federal Government handed over its harbour foreshore defence lands to be added to, and complete, the Sydney Harbour National Park.

 Other parks established this year, in February, were the two adjacent parks of Deua and Wadbilliga. There are some undesirable aspects in the parks - for example, the creation of two parks instead of the one originally conceived. (This is to allow for a proposed east-west road. However, an excessively large gap has been left.) None the less, the establishment of these parks is good news indeed. Other parks established this year, in February, were the two adjacent parks of Deua and Wadbilliga.

 When Craig and I told people we were going to Norway to ski, they gasped in borror. "All that way, just to ski?" they would say until even I was beginning to doubt the sanity of it.

-The train arrived at Stryken and we were dropped onto a barren windswept platform. Like fledglings, we blinked around us and seeing a few other weekday skiers tore after them. We soon all disappeared into the forest and began a slow, rather erratic ascent to the tops, marred by the only bad waxing conditions we ever experienced. For several kilometres we wound through the dark forest and mostly we were alone. On one occasion, we passed one of our original companions.

 Alone again after that, we wondered where we were. Soon a large post appeared, bearing a chaotic jumble of signs. To Kikutstua, our next destination, it was both 14 km and 12 km. Such was the nature of all these signs! Alone again after that, we wondered where we were. Soon a large post appeared, bearing a chaotic jumble of signs.

 For the next six kilometres we sped over the icy wastes of an enormous lake. A maze of tracks ran everywhere, so we were relieved that someone had marked the way with sticks. For the next six kilometres we sped over the icy wastes of an enormous lake.

 A dog-sledge ambulance formed the welcoming party as we skied into Kikutstua. These big, beautiful animals were lounging outside the lodge and inside there was hot coffee and cake! I was reluctant to leave the soothing warmth of this cafe, but a glance at our watches showed that time was passing too quickly. It was 2 pm and we had until about 4 pm to reach the lit up tracks. A dog-sledge ambulance formed the welcoming party as we skied into Kikutstua.

 "In" and "Out" signs directed the traveller onto the next lake. Here there were scenes of great gaiety and activity that are but normal in this part of the world. Everywhere were Junior Olympians out to break the speed record, old people doing nearly as well and children tightly gripping pet dogs' reins, as the latter whooped about in delight. We managed to skim across the lake without looking too much like geriatrics and entered the forest for the final glide down to Tryvannstua and the lit up tracks. Here the country was undulating, with occasional glimpses of lake through the forest. Sometimes we had to leap hastily out of our tracks, when approached by another party. At other times, a soft thud behind us would announce the approach of a speeding dog, followed closely by its owner. "In" and "Out" signs directed the traveller onto the next lake.

-It was nearly dark when we reached. Tryvannstua and the lights were slowly brightening the tracks. The first contingent of afterwork skiers had arrived, discarding their work gear for ski clothes. These people presented a different picture from those we had seen during the day. 
-These were wearing a look of desperate keenness intent on doing the circuit in the fastest time possible. 
- Despite the intense cold, we were feeling very thirsty, so at Tryvannstua we were tempted into another wonderful coffee house. Delicious as the coffee was, it couldn't completely alleviate the tiredness from having skied 40 km in bad snow conditions, so we decided against racing around the circuit with the professionals. Moreover, we actually had a dinner appointment to meet! 
-Reaching our last hill, we could see the train waiting at the bottom. There was one last schuss and, stopping one metre from the train, we hastily strapped our skis to its side and climbed into the warmth. The train descended to Oslo where it deposited us in the city centre. There was a cold, brisk walk to the busstop and then back to Brockmans Gate. 
-In this street lived Mrs. StrSmmen, a delightful old lady with whom 
-we were staying. We had found her through the Accommodation Bureau at the railway station and she charged a pittance compared to hotels. With her we had great fun. She told us stories of Norway during the war, and taught me how to make Rommegrot, a Norwegian dessert. 
-Tonight she was waiting for us peering out into the darkness and 
-hoping we wouldn't be late. For she had arranged with a neighbour that 
-we all go and have dinner together. So, picture Craig and me, sitting 
-around playing Ludo with two old ladies whose command of English was very 
-poor! The surprising thing was that we were thoroughly enjoying ourselves, having just had a sumptious meal of meat, dumplings and vegetables. This was our only real Norwegian meal as restaurants were very expensive. 
-Except for the finale of the wonderful meal, each skiing day in Oslo was similar to this one, except that always we went to a different area. However, several weeks later, we repeated this trip from Stryken to Oslo. The temperature had dropped, the snow conditions werb ideal and, the trip took half the time. Such are the advantages of skiing at 18.

-2. All private vehicles should. be parked under supervisionat the Park centre. +
-3. All public access to the park should be by park buses travelling the Kanangra Valls road from the park centre. +
-4. Upgrading of the Kanangra Road should be discontinued and where possible it should be reduced in width. +
-5. The bus schedule should be carefully considered in co-operation with user groups such as the N.S.U. Federation of Bushwalking Clubs and widely advertised. +
-6. Boyd Crossing and other campsites should. be redesigned for walkers only. +
-7. All other roads on Boyd Plateau should be closed and revegetated. +
-8. The main planning emphasis should be on few major cross-country tracks such as the Boyd, Gingra and Paralyser tracks. +
-9. A walkers track from the park headquarters to Kanangra is required. +
-10. Fire control and prevention operations should be planned on adjoining lands rather than within the park. +
-11. The Blue Mountains National Park Local. Committee should recommend to the National Parks and aldlife Foundation inclusion of funding for acquisition of the inholdings on Boyd Plateau in its next public, appeal. +

-including long weekends. It was recommended that the bus schedule should be carefully considered in co-operation with the NO FBC. +
-Mr. Paul Barnes, a member of the Advisory Council, suggested that it would be more rational, to prepare a plan covering not only Kanangra-Boyd, but in addition the 950000 hat recently added to the park. This introduces a new planning dimension, since the Water Board catchment area to the north and east could well provide an excellent "buffer" zone. The Colong Committee will prepare a proposal for the enlarged park.+
