Around Springwood on the way home I realised that I had left the little day pack (a borrowed one, of course) sitting by the tree where the car had been parked: so much for mentally claiming not to be too tired, From Strathfield up to Kanangra and back (to get the pack) is a long drive when undertaken after a school day:

 Morning dawned dull; the river was now even muddier and several feet higher. An awful yellow muddy mess. The road bash came as a relief until the miles mounted and the muscles creaked. Geoff took off and soon Grace and Joan were further and further away at each corner as the flyweights drooped from their lack of condition. Gradually the valley opened and farms became more frequent until - “Hey', that's this? Pitt Street?” - around the corner came a tram-car, only it wasn't coming, it was stripped and stationary, and there were half a dozen of these wrecks near a sawmill. Once workers' quarters, perhaps. And then a gentle slope down to the Moss Vale road, a vision splendid of the mail coach, fresh bread from the store, and a delightful lunch spot surrounded by motorists, and adjacent to the camping ground rubbish heap. In fact, “Down in the dumps”.

+===== Club Auction =====
 The Club Auction was held on 16th November and was a most successful affair, both socially and financially. About 70 people came along to hear our lively Auctioneer Charlie Brown cajole or bully them into buying all sorts of strange as well as useful goods. Many packs, boots, billies, a tent, and other items of camping gear went for very reasonable prices, and also 2 cameras, a tripod, a radio and various household utensils. Bottles of wine and jars of honey sold well. Books, jewellery, parkas (padded and unpadded), skis, a cardigan, etc. etc. All together an amount o $244.65 was raised for Club funds.
