The weekend of 27, 28, 29 October saw Alan Donnelley leading a party of 6 on his Budawangs walk. Maureen and David Carter postponed their Kanangra Walls walk but Ron Howlett led 10 on his Barrington Tops trip.

Conservation report brought further details of the proposal to close off roads in the vicinity of the Grose River near Mount Hay with a view to establishing a sort of wilderness zone. There was some debate and a narrow, vote opposing the idea. The NPW is preparing a plan of management for the private and commercial use of the canyons in the Blue Mountains area. Some of the proposed annual person trip numbers are enough to create great alarm in those who love the areas. It was unclear whether they propose to produce an EIS but the meeting seemed to think this was a good starting point. | Conservation report brought further details of the proposal to close off roads in the vicinity of the Grose River near Mount Hay with a view to establishing a sort of wilderness zone.
