PRESIDENTS PRATTLE

The finish of summer and the cooler weather of autumn spells a change in the Club's walks. This time of year we move away from shorter river walks to longer walks. It's just unfortunate that shorter days accompany the cooler temperatures!

The 24th of this month is the Clean Up Australia Day. The day gives us a great opportunity to show the people of Canberra that the Club has an environment ethic. So be there in your Club T shirt. If you do not have a Club T shirt then you should contact Debi Williams so that she can arrange for a Club monogram.to be silk-screened on your T shirt.

There are two notices of motion in this IT to be put before members at the March Monthly Meeting. The motions have been considered and are supported by your Committee.

A letter was sent to Mr David Eastman on behalf of the Committee informing him, that following due consideration of his behaviour on Club activities, his membership has been revoked. A letter in which he expressed his wish to no longer participate in Club activities has been received from Mr Eastman.

It is with regret that I inform Club members that Club member Fujio Takada died on 11 February. An obituary is presented in this IT.

WALK SECRETARY'S WAFFLE

Quite a number of walks were added to the Program at the Walks Planning Evening in late February. However there are still some holes, particularly for day walks from late April onwards. For any budding leaders I have included below a few suggestions for day walks close to Canberra which do not require highly skilled navigation and are very suitable for new leaders. If you are interested in leading one of these I can try to arrange for at least one experienced leader to join the walk or act as co-leader.

The Activity Programme will contain a couple of innovations from this month. I will attempt to publish the date and time of the full moon for the next three months and the weekend sunrise and sunset times in Canberra for the next month or so at the end of the program. These are not my brilliant, ideas but have been plagiarised from other clubs' magazines which I have been reading while not going on walks over the last few weeks. This information may be of use in planning what time to make/break camp and/or leave for the trip. Allan Mikkelsen 3

WALKS FOR NEW LEADERS

All these suggested walks are on the ACT 1:100000 map and can be done from that but the appropriate 1:25000 map is quoted.

Orroral Valley Ramble (S-M/E ) Start at locked gate near Orroral Tracking Station. Walk up the valley on the southern/south western side of the On-oral River in the open cleared area. Keep far enough from the river to avoid the bogs and swamp, past folly's Hut until you reach the fire trail (Smokers Trai at the head of the valley. Turn left and follow this track back to the cars through interesting woodland. Very easy walking and navigation.

Mount Coree (M/M ) From Blundell's Flat follow Currie's Road to summit of . Climb the south ridge of Coree, scrubby at first but easier though rocky further on. Great views from the summit. Follow the road from the summit north, keeping right at junctions to return to the cars.

Mount Girdni from Corin Dam (M-L/E-M Corin Dam) From the western end of the dam wall take the steep foot track up Stockyard Spur. Turn left when the old fire trail is reached and follow it to the junction with the Mount Franklin Road. Left here, down past Pryors Hut and on to the summit of Ginini for good 360 degree views as far as Jagungal and the . Very suitable as a snow walk in late July or August.

Hospital Hill - Naas Creek (M/M Yaouk) Involves a car shuffle on the Boboyan Road - begin after the road climbs up from where Hospital Hill ridge rises to level of road (810398), and Naas Creek Crossing. Cross to Hospital Hill ridge, follow south to Naas Creek, follow downstream to road. Fine views of Namadgi Peaks from the high points of the ridge.

More suggestions will be published later Allan Mikkelsen

OBflUARY- FWIO TAKADA

Fujio apparently died as the result of a 300 metre fall while on Mt Hull New Zealand on 11 February. He had visited New Zealand to do some walking while on his way back to Japan, having completed his work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, here in Canberra.

Fujio joined the Club in the middle of 1990. He participated in a number of Club weekend ski trips and walks, and I had the pleasure of being on two of these trips. The first was a weekend trip to Valentine's Hut, where we shared tent, food and humour on a weekend of good snow, strong wind gusts and snow squalls. The other trip was the October Monolith Valley work weekend when Fujio's openness and quiet humour added to the weekend.

While Fujio's death is a loss to us, to his family in Japan and to his friends, I am sure that I express the sentiments of all of us in the Canberra Bushwalking Club in saying that we are the richer for Fujio's having joined the Club. He will be remembered with pleasure.

David Campbell LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor Nic Bendeli is right in implying that the topic of fluid balance while bushwalking in hot weather is both important and controversial. I suggest that it is also variable - according to each person's individual metabolism.

Some years ago the Darwin bushwalkers had a talk from a doctor specialising in sports medicine. From memory the main points he made were:

Pre-hydrate. Drink as much as possible before starting and drink again before you feel thirsty. The body can exude liquid through perspiration faster than it can absorb it by digestion. Waiting until you are thirsty may be too late. Combine with small quantities of carbohyrdate - he said bread sandwiches were good. Cool off whenever possible. Early warning signs of trouble are a change in temperamental behaviour - leaders should watch for someone normally garrulous and energetic going quiet, and vice versa.

On the question of salt my experience has been that if I do get dehydrated to the point of exhaustion then the teaspoon of-salt-in-a-halfpint..of..warm..wateridea works well. Ten minutes after that I can drink ordinary water copiously, and within an hour at most I am fully recovered. But I can say that authoratively only of my own body. I would be interested 10 know what other bodies have found.

CONSERVATION NEWS

The Conservation Council of the South East Region and Canberra met on 16 February 1991. Rod Dalgleish and I attended as the Club's representatives. Some highlights of the meeting were: Repotts - from the Acting President, Director and various working groups - see me if you want to read any of them; Fuidlig pmbiems - the Council and its working groups are finding it difficult to obtain resources needed to represent regional conservation issues to the different levels of government in NSW and the ACT. See my motion regarding a CBC donation in this It IndMdual Meinbe.'stç - the Council has a proposal under consideration to add individual membership to the current group delegates membership. If you are interested in this issue please see me. I have a discussion paper and I would like any Club member's views to take to Council. Peak Cotmcl Meethigs. National meetings of State, Territory Conservation Councils and Environmental Centres will be held in Canberra between 8 and 17 April. This conveniently coincides with the ACTs Environment Fair on 14 April - a chance to meet the heavies of the conservation movement from around Australia Poty Statemn - the Conservation Council has produced a Policy Statement on Environmental Issues in the ACT and South East NSW. This is an important document, covering a range of issues of interest to members eg. Alpine conservation, forests and coastal issues. I have purchased a copy on behalf of the Club. See me if you want to borrow it. Mike Morriss

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY

CANBERRA - SUNDAY 24 MARCH 1991

The nedons facts In Canberra in 1990, Clean Up Day brought together over 1700 people with over 30 organisations actively involved on the day. There were fifteen key sites which were cleaned up in the ACT, focussing on the Lakes, and the . Over forty tonnes of rubbish was collected on the day. 39 syringes were collected, mainly at SulIWans Creek and .

Nationally, 300,000 people were involved with over 15,000tonnes collected. In the South East Region, over 7,000 people were invo Wed, with over 200 tonnes collected.

On 24 March 1991, the second ever, community-driven national clean up of Australia will take place. It is an opportune time for Australians to join together and improve their environment. The media is very interested in assisting in the promotion. As well as radio and newspaper promotions, there will be a national television commercial promoting the day. FM 104.7 and 2CN will publicize the day on the radio.

The Canberra region In Canberra, there will be a large Clean Up focussing on:

the involvement of schools and the general community in neighbourhood/suburban cleanups

clean ups at recreational areas along waterways including the Murrumbidgee River and Lake Burley Griffin

clean up of major arterial roads

The Murrumbidgee River is an important natural resource adjacent to Canberra. The River provides recreation opportunities for bushwalkers, swimmers, rockclimbers, picnickers, canoeists and field naturalists. Unfortunately, the area has been devalued by the massive amount of rubbish, ranging from plastic and tin cans to bottles and aerosol cans. This is due to recent floodings where rubbish has been carried down in the flood waters. The main source is from the Tuggeranong stormwater drains and from picnic areas along the river.

The ACT Government (including the ACT Parks and Conservation Service, Urban Services and the Environment Protection Authority) in coordination with community groups, including member groups of the Conservation Council of Canberra and the South East Region, are working together to undertake a large scale clean up of the ACT including the Murrumbidgee River. The Canberra Bushwalking Club will maintain a significant role in co-ordinating the Murrumbidgee River clean up.

Other than cleaning up the River, it is anticipated that the event will educate Canberra residents to value their environment. This will hopefully also encourage residents to not pollute their picnic areas, open space areas and stormwater drains.

Why get kwoWed? The National Clean Up day will be the largest community-driven environment event in Australia. There will be over 500 different Clean Up locations around Australia. The media, all levels of Government and different businesses have assured their support for the day. The impact the day will have on cleaning up the environment and also equally important, educating the general public about the environment will be tremendous. Australians can feel good, doing something themselves to effectively improve their environment.

Planning for the day People can assist in the planning, leading up to the day. On the actual day, site supervisors and leaders are required to organise volunteers for the Clean Up. There will be a meeting prior to the clean up for all interested site supervisors and leaders explaining the logistics for the day.

On the day There will be a variety of sites that will be cleaned up in the ACT within the suburbs, local parks, and nearby waterways. The Conservation Council including the Canberra Bushwalking Club will coordinate the Murrumbidgee River clean up including Uriarra Crossing, , Kambah Pool, Pine Island, Point Hut Crossing and Coppins Crossing. Volunteers will join in on the day cleaning up around these picnic areas. In addition the Range Rover Club will join with mobile teams to clean up and areas of the Brindabells.

The Canberra Bushwalking Club will also have two leaders take groups from both Kambah Pool and Pine Island through Red Rocks Gorge. People can join in and clean up this beautiful area as well as swim and bushwalk.

If you would like to participate on the day or would like more information, please contact Sandy Lolicato for details, telephone 251 5441 (h) or 272 4764 (w). WALK PREVIEWS March 16-18 - Wola Do you want to see spectacular contorted landscape, scramble over razorback ridges and feel what it's like to climb 1000 metres with a full pack, then join me on this L/ft We will tackle the mother (Mother Woila that is) via the Dampier Trig fire trail and camp on the plateau leading to it. Without packs we will attempt the mountain on the first day. Rough ridge walking awaits us on day 2 around to Scout Hat. Camp will be made by the beautiful Woila Creek. This leaves a full day to walk out along the creek and climb the 1000 metre spur to Big Badja. Pack lightly and bring a wine skin.

March 23-24 - Katoomba Smorgasboi'd The weekend is designed for people to sample and taste the various delight that Katoomba has to offer. Participants can choose which particular activity they wish to partake of or decline. Note that trip limits differ according to the activity. The entree Mt Hay Canyon - Saturday morning - start about 0800 hrs. The canyon consists of several swims, jumps and abseils. It is not recommended for timid abseilers or raw beginners. The climb out is a walk up a steep gully with a 10 metre rock climb at grade 8 standard. Altogether a long half day - limit 8.

Course two The Mantleshelf - on Saturday afternoon (say, 1500 hrs) after some iced chocolates, we will go to the Three Sisters and climb up the Mantleshelf - a 20 metre grade 13 rock climb - exposure plus! suitable for athletic beginners. The descent is an abseil on to Honeymoon Point bridge down the first Sister. Saturday night will probably be spent at the upper Narrowneck cave.

Course three The West Wall - an early start is mandatory. Probably 0645 hrs will see us starting the walk down to the base of the Three Sisters. The climb is multi-pitched and consists of chimneys, cracks, corners and walls. The length is about 250 metres and the grade varies from 8 to a maximum of 12. It is suitable for athletic beginners. We will finish for lunch. Maximum limit of 4 applies unless other leaders volunteer.

Dessert Fortress Creek Canyon - we will plunge and swim in Fortress Creek. The canyon is suitable for beginners and involves several swims (up to 20 metres) as well as a 10 metre abseil - no party limit.

Note that the above program is weather dependent and appropriate substitutions will be arranged if required. Feel free to ring me if any of the above information is indigestible! Nic Bendeli

ApI 20-21 - CMthlng Instructional - Bocroomba Rocks The climbing instructional is NOT to teach you how to climb. It IS intended for Club members who have already climbed/abseiled and who would like to further their knowledge of techniques so that they can participate more confidently in scrambling/canyoning/climbing trips. A maximum ration of 1 instructor to 4 participants is planned with a trip limit of 8. Preference/priority will be given to members who have previously demonstrated interest in the technical aspects of scrambling/canyoning. Some of the aspects covered will be: Knots - clove-hitch, fig. 8, bowline, slip, fisherman, butterfly, Prussik, Bachman, Munter, tape, body bowline; Belaying - use and practice of Sticht plate, body belay, Munter hitch; Prussiking - ascending a rope using several methods, (Prussik, Bachman, karabiner Prussik); Coiling ropes - skein, lap, chain; Protection - discussion of strength of equipment, minimum links concept, straightening the line, double ropes. Special equipment needed: harness, abseiling gear, Prussik loops, at least five karabiners (one must be locking), gloves, note book, writing implements, bottle of good humour and a can of elbow grease.

The above ideas will be put into practice by climbing multi-pitch routes (top-leading?) such as Sunstroke, Drunken Delight, Little Hermes. FAEEHEEUN' AT 20320 FEET

The trip started in October '88 when Keith dropped in to say 'hi'. As he stepped through the doorway we both though 'How would you like to climb Mt Mckinley?'

The dream became a reality, when ten of us sat for breakfast, one fine May morning in Anchorage, Alaska. In front of us were piles of pancakes and cream, bacon and eggs, toast and jam, bottomless cups of coffee, hash browns and anything else that titilated our palates. Important planning conversations ensued, interspersed with munching and sipping. Important conversations such as, how much food, what type of food, do you prefer instant mashed potatoes or instant noodles, one pot cooking or multi-pot cooking, how much fibre and the problems of its eventual disposal. After the copious breakfast, a quick visit to a supermarket warehouse and the necessary shopping for twenty eight day's supplies. Once the shopping was over it was time for lunch and packing. The packing was interrupted by the usual meals and snacks.

Some of us were unable to do any preparatory training, prior to the climb and had flown directly to Anchorage. Others had seized upon the opportunity to 'freeheel off the biggest mountain in North America', as a good excuse for a prolonged ski holiday. Keith, Paul D, Trevor, Helen and I spent time in Canada riding the lifts, downhilling and ski-mountaineering. As a shakedown trip, we undertook a week long camp on the Bow Glacier in the Rocky Mountains. Days were spent climbing peaks and skiing off, hauling 'patients' out of crevasses and.... of course.....eating.

May 22 saw the ten of us flying to Mckinley base camp from the Talkeetna airstrip. Twenty-eight day's food, equipment, skis, ice axes, crampons, a pilot and two skiers somehow fitted into the tiny Cessna. One was not allowed to get airsick as there was no room to.... The glorious sunshine, azure sky and magnificent scenery went unnoticed, the view completely blocked by packs and equipment. The landing was felt and experienced rather than seen. Once on the glacier it was a different story. At 7200 feet, amidst towering peaks and perpetual snow, we were in the playground of the mountaineers and in the throne room of the mountain gods.

From now on, the expedition took on a more serious note. Most days we would fill our packs and sleds and skin up the glacier, trying to gain between 300 or 500 metres of elevation, in order to prevent altitude sickness and give us time to acclimatise. The noonday temperatures would soar to 30° +C and the night temperatures to - 15°C. Much spare time was available and it was pleasant to lie in the tent and just laze, drink, read, drink, eat, drink, play, drink, practise crevasse rescues and drink some more. We had to try and force at least 5 litres of fluid a day. Our spare time behaviour at 14200 ft was amazing and perplexing to the Americans.

Were we suffering a little-known variant of altitude sickness? Throwing a stuffed mitten around and hitting it with a shovel, then racing to/from three wands in the snow was mystifying. Occasionally a loud '000wizaaat' would really confuse the issue. What queer behaviour! Us Downunders were having a great time.

Partil

Summit day started from our 172000ft camp. Theoretically we should have had a R&R day. However the weather was so good that the opportunity was not to be missed. Three of us made a summit attempt. As we gained height, the altitude affected us differently. At 1 9000ft keith took off to the extent that he overtook other partied and arrived at the summit one and a half hours ahead of us. Whilst he was at the top, laughing, joking and talking, Scott and I hit the Wall. Sheer willpower was needed to wax a feeble step forward and ever so upwards. Step, pant, pant, pant, step, pant, pant, pant. So close and yet so far. At 19500 ft the decision not to ski from the summit was made and the skis abandoned. I was just too weak. As it was, I was occasionally fleetingly blacking out and had to keep a very close watch on the body systems.

The summit was eventually reached. keith had his skis ready and was itching to go. I started to retreat to the Football Field at 19500 ft. What took two hours of agony to ascend, only took ten minutes of bumsliding and self-arresting to get down. In the meantime, from the summit, one telemark, two telemarks and stop. Scott was collapsing and Keith had to improvise a rescue. Scott was lowered on a rope for the initial 500 ft until he regained enough consciousness to partially stagger down, helped by friendly shoulders. E1

By 18500 ft he had recuperated enough to be able to carry on a small conversation. The last thousand feet to our igloos were hell. Thirty five degree slopes, knee-deep humid powder snow, heat. Dressed for - 20C was inappropriate for the westerly facing concave bowl in the still, late afternoon sun.

After the post summit euphoria, an appraisal of the situation was taken. From the ten of us we had one 'mild' case of cerebral oedema, one case of pulmonary oedema, one infected leg and two cases of severe headaches. So evacuation to lower altitudes, in the midst of an increasing snowstorm, was mandatory. The slopes were becoming loaded and the headwall positivelyavalanche prone. Stuart and I were the last to come through. Fast technique down the fixed ropes saw us safely through. A guided party that we had overtaken were not so fortunate. An avalanche came through and tossed them around. Fortunately no casualties occurred. Just one pack lost and a mild case of hypothermia: So ended the first attempt at the summit.

Three days later, the storm had subsided and our tent, its poles broken, lay under one metre of compacted snow. We were lucky to wake up in time and not be buried in it. Weather and circumstances had eroded party morale and a general descent preferred (? Ed.). So Keith and I returned to our igloo at 17200 ft to pick up the equipment left there for our second summit attempt. Keith tried to ski down from 17200 ft but the weather closed in again. A thick fog enveloped the mountain and we could just see the fbced ropes. At 14000 ft we picked up the rest of our equipment and this time skied back to the airfield.

The ski to the landing strip was memorable. Alternating sunshine and fog, good visibility and snowstorms. The descent from Windy Corner was in light knee-deep powder and glorious sunshine. From 12000 ft to 11000ff it was knee-deep mush. From 1 1000 ft to 10000 ft the weather stormed and it was ankle-deep powder. From 10000 ft to 8000 ft it was crusty and gigantic snowbridges over yawning crevasses. Finally by the time we reached the airfield it was windy, partly snowy, one o'clock in the morning and no planes for a few days because of the storms. In fact we all flew out within 24 hours and proceeded to further adventures. But those are other tales.

Note: AUSMAC '90 (Australian Urge to Ski Mckinley) expedition members were: keith Williams, John Morell, Paul Daniel, Paul Mara, Bill Blunt, Stuart Dennis, Scott Ruddook, Trevor Holsworth, Helen Thomson and Nicolas Bendeli. Nicolas Bendeli VALE, PADDVI

The announcement of the death of Paddy Pallin, bushwalker and ski tourer extraordinaire, in January, revived in my mind memories of the help and support he had given me and members of the Canberra Bushwalking Club in years gone by.

I probably first met Paddy though bushwalking friends of my parents in Sydney in the fifities, but certainly remember a particular talk he gave to members of my first bushwalking club, the Coast and Mountain Walkers of NSW in 1967. He spoke about cross country skiing and so enthused me that I straight away went along to his shop in Liverpool Street, Sydney tQpurchase the necessary gear to launch my cross country skiing career! I well remember earnest discussion and advice about Stockholm tar (for my new Bla (pronounced 'bloor', as in 'floor') skis, the best blowtorch to buy, the merits of new metal, as opposed to bamboo, poles, and the appropriate bindings for skis and boots which I wanted to use for cross-country ski racing! I was well and truly hooked!

Some years later I moved to Canberra and joined the Canberra Bushwalking Club. Paddy's support for the Club from about 1965 to 1988 was manifest in his willingness to let us advertise the Club and its walks in the Paddy Pallin shop, which in those early years was first situated in Garema Place before moving to its current site on Northbourne Avenue.

Over the years we have been able to advertise our presence and display our walk programme and associated activities. Many bushwalkers and cross country skiers have gathered on Friday evenings in the shop to talk about gear, the forthcoming weekend's walk or ski tour, and to consider the merits of various items of bushwalking or cross-country skiing equipment. From time to time films, and later videos, of bushwalking or cross-country skiing were shown after shop hours.

For me it hasbeen a privilege to have met Paddy. Many present and past CBC members will remember him for his support of the Club, and love of the Australian bush and snowscape. Farewell, Paddy!
