VOLUME 25 MARCH 1988 NUMBER 3

President's Pnttle

At the last committee meeting members raised concerns about the level of awareness of first aid when bushwalking. On a recent day walk to Ettrema, one participant received a minor injury which required a number of party members to delve into their packs for various antiseptic creams, bandages etc. While there is an expectation that all who participate on Club walks Cand on any other trips for that matter) carry their own first aid requirements, it is often the case that items must be provided by others, often the walk leader. Whilst the odd band-aid causes little financial strain, items such as pressure bandages for sprains etc. are quite expensive to replace. Thus, the committee believes that where people have had to assist others on Club walks by using such relatively expensive first aid consumables, the Club should reimburse that person the replacement cost. On a related matter we are hoping to provide interested Club members with the opportunity to attend a St. John's Ambulance first aid course. By doing so as a group, it should be possible to concentrate on those first aid matters of particular relevance to bushwalking. Details will be published in later ITs when arrangements and costs have been established. Greg Ellis Concerning Conservation you will now all be aware of the new parks proposed by the Unsworth Government for the Eden area. These include •a southern extension to Wadbilliga National Park, Tantawangalo. Coolangubra, Vowaka and a small area just north of Coopracambra in Victoria. This is a major acknowledgement by the government of the importance of these areas for all Australians. The P48W election will be the final deciding factor. Recently a Club member mentioned that Park officers at Kosciusko National Park had instructed them not to camp near Hedley Tarn. At this stage there are no restrictions related to camping in the summit area, however, because of the detrimental effects that are created by the many people who do decide to camp in this area, the Park Service actively will be discouraging camping in the area. Most Club members would be aware of the consequences of many people camping in these extremely fragile areas and I would suggest that we take this into account when planning walks in the area and camp in appropriate places. As Greg mentioned in the previous IT, please pass on information to committee members about infringements of national park regulations. Reports of activities such as grazing, four wheel driving, etc. in prohibited areas will be made to the relevant authorities. It is only with detailed information that these problems can be overcome. Please supply details of where, when and to what degree Ceg type and numbers of cattle, vehicle) these activities were witnessed. Two Club representatives attended the Conservation Council meeting on E

17/2/88 where discussion was held on firstly the proposed future of the Rocks area; secondly active campaigning or otherwise for the Unsworth Government (related to the Eden Park Proposal); and thirdly the proposed gun licensing legislation in NSW. Julie Andrew

Judging from the response most people were very enthusiastic about our Budawang presentation and speaking for the contributors I can say that it was a pleasure to see it come together. New members will surely have gained from Alan Vidler's information on access routes and walking tracks. Heino Lepp gave us a close look at the fascinating miniature gardens of mosses and liverworts, they deserve more attention. Thanks Heino for sharing your knowledge, your patience to observe these tiny plants should be an example to all that enjoyment of the bush is not determined by distance covered. I am also grateful to Warren Hudson who selected, arranged and rearranged the slides and projectors. I wonder who can afford to go anywhere without a camera after this presentation. Our next meeting will be on March the 16th, the speaker will be Alan Fox, who has, for the last six years been a consultant on the environment. Previously he was with the N.T. Parks Service and NSW Parks and Wildlife. He is author or co-author of three books including "Kakadu Man'. He also set up the training scheme for Aboriginal rangers in Kakadu National Park and led the team that put together the management plan for that park. Last month I forgot to mention the T-shirts ($5.60) and frog badges ($2). They are still with us -----and, you guessed it, they will be present at the meeting on March the 16th.

If you ever feel like a change from your Sunday bushwalk have you thought of giving a Sunday morning (first of the month) to help out at the Kingsley Street markets. As the Club is a member of the Canberra and South-East Regional Environment Centre. we are often asked for volunteers to assist in the coffee shop or to collect monies from the stall holders. As you need to get there early you can also be the first to pick up all the bargains!!. For more information about times and dates contact me. Kate Moore Letter to the editor We were shocked, horrified, stunned, amazed, surprised, distressed and concerned (yes, all of these!) after reading in the "Canberra Times", on the front page no less, of allegations made by a prominent Japanese visitor, that skinny dipping actually took place on a recent Canberra Bushwalking Club walk. (It would not happen on one of my walks - ed.) Could this possibly be true? Surely not!, and how could this have occurred? (Obviously our Club morals officer was not in attendance.) There are no excuses for such behaviour. The Club can not afford such adverse publicity and we propose a tightening of Club dress rules, and, if necessary, the incorporation of these into the Club's constitution. The Club's morals must be maintained at their current high standards. Our proposal entails strict summer dress regulations for swimming. "NECK TO KNEE" coverage must be mandatory. We sincerely hope that all Club members will take up this proposal seriously and if, on the next river walk, members are found to be dressed inadequately, watch out! Action will be taken to remedy the situation. Yours sincerely, PT Shocked of Scullin KM Horrified of Higgins RD Stunned of Spence GE Amazed of Ainslie TM Surprised of Stirling HA Distressed of Downer RH Concerned of Charnwood P.S. We would consider sandshoes, long socks and balaclava or, at a pinch, a beanie pulled down low to be acceptable dress! 4

December 31st - January 3rd - Kowmung River - M/R/W Maps: Kanangra & Yerranderrie Better late than never! here is a trip report on the Club's first walk in 1988. led by Meg McKone to the Kowmung River in the Blue Mountains. Twelve of us left Canberra on New Year's Eve and after stops in Goulburn for dinner and along the road for minor repairs to the McKone's car we arrived at Boyd River around 11pm. After all the port, cornchips. Christmas Cake and champagne had been consumed, waiting up to see the new year in becamer quite an effort and not everyone managed it. Five minutes into 1988 saw all of us nicely snuggled in our sleeping bags. The noise of the firewood collectors, (who, incidently, need some basic lessons in telling the time!), had us awake early and it was not too long before we had driven the short distance to Kanangra Walls and were soon walking across Kanangra Tops. We descended to the Kowmung River via Cottage Rock. Bullhead Ridge and over Cambage Spire. The group soon split in two, four speedsters ran down to the river while the sensible ones took their time and enjoyed the scenery. The speedsters, all having made good new year resolutions the night before, had port and Christmas Cake to celebrate the descent and played with the frisbee while cooling off in the river. Slowly we were joined by the rest of the group and it was not long before they too joined us in the cool clear waters of the Kowmung. Lunch saw the first of our engineering achievements with four tent flies joined together to provide shelter from the hot summer sun for twelve bushwalkers and twelve million bushf lies! We had a lazy afternoon, some went for a stroll up Christies Creek while others searched for a better swimming pool. The afternoon was interupted by a brief heavy thunderstorm which saw us all diving for cover under our flies. Adam and Dominique provided some entertainment with their attempts at erecting their fly from a dome tent, without any poles. I think they did a better job than Doug with his shower curtain though! We had a little drizzle while we cooked dinner but this did not prevent us from having a wonderful dessert. The McKones produced an enormous billy from Frank's pack which contained a magnificent pudding. Robert, with the assistance of halt a dozen helpers, all under his small tent fly, cooked real custard over a double boiler while Greg retrieved his brandied butter which had been cooling in the river. Needless to say it was all consumed in no time helped along by a couple of litres of red wine, some port and even a couple of cans of beer. No wonder our packs weighed so much, When I turned in for the night I found Doug asleep under my fly - obviously he did not have much faith in his shower curtain! 41

Saturday involved lots of swimming, frisbee throwing, more eating and, yes, a little walking. We camped at Orange Bluff and built a very elaborate communal structure which was soon named "The Big Top". By now the frisbee was getting a little worn so we had to revert to a billy lid. A little afternoon drizzle found us gathered in the "The Big Top" for readings from Robert's "Western". He claimed to have found it but later walks have revealed the truth about his taste in literature. We also had many deep and meaningful discussions on all manner on things. Dinner was not up to the previous night's standard but we still managed to have fruit cake, custard, green ginger wine, port and run with hot lemon.

Sunday greeted us with little sun but lots of mist and we decided to go straight up Brumby Ridge which proved a good exit ridge, especially with our much lighter packs. Be warned though, one needs more than a single muffin for breakfast to make the climb. Again we split into two groups with the advance party, plus one, enjoying hot soup in Coal Seam Cave as the others gradually joined us. Although it did not rain, everyone was saturated from the mist and wet scrub and we all dried out in the cave before continuing on over Kanangra Tops to the cars. The more respectable members of the groUp had a wash in the Boyd River before the drive home.

Thanks to Meg for a wonderful walk and to all those who contributed to the gastronomic delights. It was a great way to start the year. Mike Comfort

January 30-315t - Jagungal via Happy Jacks, Fire Damage Report - H/M

Map: Khancoban 1:50000. This walk was the completion of last year's trip to Jagungal when a revolt in the ranks prevented a crossing of Happy Jacks Plain. This time, we started at the junction of the Cabramurra road and Happy Jacks road only to find out from a lost Victorian tourist that the road was open all the way to Lake Eucumbene.

Saturday morning was spent scooting along the road to Happy Jacks Plain. The plain itself can be recommended, the road - well, it gave good views. We followed the Grey Mare fire trail from Mackeys hut to O'Keefes hut. The trail recently had been bulldozed by firefighters. It is a bit of an eyesore at the moment although it has made walking easier in places. Saturday's walk totalled 28 kilometres.

Sunday started with a early trip up Jagungal (for some) and then out along the Fern Ridge fire trail. We reached the limit of the tire damage from the Round Mountain fire after about 3 km. Along the ridge the fire damage had been sporadic and the damage minimal. Unfortunately, it got much worse the further we went and it was most severe in the Tumut river valley. This area obviously will take some time to recover fully. The fire burnt right to the Round Mountain hut stopping across the fire trail.

The parking area at the Cabramurra road/Round Mountain fire trail junction had been bulldozed so there was little grass left for lying around on while the car was brought down from the Happy Jacks road. So Sunday ended up being a long walk although I did not hear much complaining. Norm Becker EAltor's Notes

Owing to the limit of sixteen pages imposed because of postage requirements and the regular publication of the membership list in the March issue of IT, it has been necessary to hold over one or two articles till next month. Vance Brown 14ftj4( fØflfl45

Sunday March 20th - Sentry Box - L/M Map: Yaouk 1:25000.

This is a long walk (20K at least with a climb of about 900 metres) and is NOT for beginners. It goes outward along the Naas Creek Valley and returns along Grassy Creek. I will start early and probably finish late - so bring a torch. Sentry Box has the best display of Umbilicaria that I know of in the ACT - as well as being botanically interesting for other reasons. For those botanically inclined I suggest a perusal of 'Treeless vegetation above 1000 metres altitude in the A.C.T:' by C.E. Neiman and P.M. Gilmour, Ca copy of this is available for inspection at the Environment Centre). Heino Lepp

Saturday April 16th - Pine Island Clean-up - S/E

To participate in this walk, it is a case of BYOB (GARBAGE BAG THAT IS) as our Club makes a contribution to HERITAGE WEEK. Recent walkers to this area have reported that it is sorely in need of litter removal. This activity will commence at 11 am at the far car park at Pine Island; meet at the display board which shows the walking track. The plan is to walk towards Kambah Pool clearing the rubbish along the track and river bank as far as we can manage. We will return to Pine Island for an optional BYO-EVERYTHING Barbecue in the evening. There is NO NEED TO BRING A MAP ... YOU MIGHT FIND ONE ON THE WAY! Lunch will be enjoyed along the river and there are great pools for cooling swims. Will YOU do YOUR BIT for the environment during Heritage Week? This clean- up has been scheduled for SATURDAY to allow keen walkers not to miss their Sunday con stitutiona ls. SEE YOU THERE .....RING ME ONLY IF YOU NEED TRANSPORT Carolyn Ho. 768102(w), 949228(h).

September - Indian Himalayas - A Pre-preview

In mid-September I am going to the Indian Himalayas for about six weeks for a mainly walking holiday. If anyone is interested feel free to ring me - 316061(h), 467572(w). I would like to spend a few weeks in the Kulu Valley area and a few weeks in the area near Rishikesh and the head waters of the River Ganges. I suppose the only requirements for anyone thinking about this trip are flexibility and fitness. Airline bookings need to be made as soon as possible to ensure getting a return flight back to Australia. Return air fare to Delhi is $990 (Air India). *1025 (Thai). Norm Becker

Sunday March 27th - Bungonia Gorge, Shoalhaven River - M/M/W? Map: Caoura 1:25000. This, the last of the river walks, involves a descent down a steep patch into spectacular Bungonia Gorge. the route then proceeds through the gorge and past the vertical Troy Walls. At this point there is a stretch of large limestone boulders to negotiate, after that it is easy going along Bungonia Creek to the Shoalhaven River. We may or oss the river so waterproof your pack. We will have a relaxing lunch on a santh beach with lots of time for swimming in the warm (usually) waters of the Shoal haven.
