I have been our Magazine Editor for the past three years, since the April issue after the election in 1964. It was fortunate for me that I took over from an able and energetic Editor in Evelyn Walker, and articles were to hand already from some of our wonderful writers. | I have been our Magazine Editor for the past three years, since the April issue after the election in 1964.

Ron Knightley whimpered a bit, but soon gave in gracefully. I suspect that he really had fun writing it up, and that our writers all do enjoy contributing and seeing their efforts in print. The printing itself was my first big task. I was involved in the selection of a second-hand tabletop offset printing machine and platemaker and fuser. Whatever are they, you may well ask; I was soon to become informed on such technicalities. Then we needed an electric typewriter, and I hope I selected a good one; Kath Brown has become a convert to using it, and that's what matters. And so the appearance of the magazine has improved, with the full potential of the printer still to be realised by our team of Fran, Stan and Morag; good copy of photographs is our aim. |

An unexpected and delightful bonus to being Editor has been making more friends in the Club. Writers, typist, printers, collaters, business manager, all needed regular contact by me, and I soon grew to value their interest and loyalty. Along with regular bushwalking friends, they made a great group at my wedding with Mike Reynolds. | An unexpected and delightful bonus to being Editor has been making more friends in the Club.

+ | ====Day 6 (Wedne6day) 31st December - New Year's Eve.==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our first overcast day, quite cool and windy. Setting off at the usual time, we passed Mail Box Hill on our left and headed through the gap at the north end of the Brassy Mountains. In this gap were two trees literally blown horizontal and still thriving, both very healthy specimens. Following the lee side (east) of North Brassy we passed above a large drift of show and came to Big Brassy, which we climbed and stopped in a sheltered spot for morning tea, looking out over the Burrungubrugge Valley. From there the route led us to Tin Hut, where we had lunch. Again, this hut was in excellent order, being maintained by a Canberra club. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A semi-circular route from Tin Hut formed our approach to the Gungarten Range, which had many large drifts of snow on the eastern, protected side, where we were walking. Soon we were on the peak of Gungarten, just under the cloud cover, with the wind whistling about us. We spent little time there - it was such a contrast with the summit of Jagungal only the previous day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | From there it was as rapid a descent down to the road near Schlink Pass. In parts that descent was steep and scratchy. The still, warm air at the bottom was in total contrast to that on the mountain top. Ascending the road to Schlink Pass we turned left up to the Rolling Grounds where the rain really began to get serious. After a slight hesitation and some swamp bashing, we made camp in the cold, wind-driven rain behind a clump of trees. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This was New Year's Eve though, and not even old Hughie was going to spoil it! Bob and his assistants worked wonders with the firewood (and the Shellite) and soon everybody was standing around sharing the goodies. Rum and lemon barley was made and it sure did taste good! To drive the rain away, we started singing sunshine type songs and lo - Hughie answered with a clap of thunder, followed by more claps, rather like a dog barking when it knows it's beaten, and about 8 o' | ||
