WALK is a voluntary non-profit venture published in the interests of bushwalking as a pastime and healthy recreation" 2 Walking is an enjoyable pastime. Come rain, hail or shine the enthusiasts are abroad at every opportunity that they may get their fill of its pleasures. An intangible attraction weaves a spell about them and off they go-walking for its very own sake! This is, as it were, the spiritual side; the satisfying of an inner unspoken urge. There are other angles which may be equally satisfying, and to cultivate them cannot but enhance the pleasure and profit to be derived from each trip. The physical well-being engendered by days and nights spent in the open, healthy exercise creating an even healthier appetite; the aesthetic pleasure to be derived from a distant view; or the satisfaction of achieving something beyond the powers of the multitude; all these give savor to the walk, but they are all things in which the intellect plays no part. To some walkers they are sufficient, yet there are many who crave some intellectual benefit from their walking. It is not suggested that during a walk is the best time to depth the oceans of philosophy or attempt to solve the riddle of the universe, but there is ample scope to increase one's knowledge and understanding of natural history. Botany and geology are two subjects which more than repay any effort made to understand them. In their case the objects of study are static and do not demand much time and energy, the major drawbacks to such interests as bird-observing on walks. The barest rudiments of physiography enable us much better to understand and appreciate the topography of the country through which we walk, and allow us to choose our routes so that we may achieve our objectives. These are all things with which to occupy the mind while on the track. To be interested in any of them will be to add much to our enjoyment, perhaps give an edge which may have been missing. And may we finish with a plea? A plea to devote some of your thinking moments along the track to achieving a balanced, long-range view of the contemporary scene as it affects us as walkers. We are all interested in the general ideas of Conservation; that posterity may not suffer because of contemporary actions. Let us be sure that our cause is not under­ mined by ill-considered and illogical schemes, and that our arguments are always consistent. We cannot fly in the face of progress, and we must expect that some development schemes will impinge on the country which we delight in knowing as it now is. Be on guard that progress is not an excuse for despoilation, but if we wish our case to be heard we must make our appeal to reason. The cause is worth a little thought; tranquil hours along the track or by the campfire present the opportunity for it. 3 FUJI SA~ An Australian's Japanese Walk Mt. Fuji-altitude 12,467 feet-is THE sacred mountain of Japan, the climb­ ing of which attracts more than 45,000 people annually-men and women, young and old-from all parts of Japan. To the Japanese people the climbing of Fuji is not a mere pleasure, but a pilgrimage. The climbing season of the mountain lasts through July and August (Japan­ ese summer), and so one fine August a friend and I decided that we too would make a pilgrimage to Mt. Fuji. Being members of the Australian Occupation Force, it was not just a case of kitting-up and off we go; one had to apply and fill in forms stating reasons for wanting to go, swear we would not stay at Japanese hotels, eat Japanese food or drink, or leer at Japanese wenches, etc., etc. After lying like gentlemen, the forms were duly completed and despatched to Tokyo for approval. Finally, the day arrived and our clearances were granted. The first step was a 500-mile train journey from Kure to Tokyo, completed in approximately 12 hours; an uneventful but quite comfortable trip. The Japanese railway system is patterned after the German system and seems to run quite efficiently. On arrival in Tokyo at 7 a.m. we had breakfast at the Marou­ nichi Hotel, and afterwards changed into our walking gear. The distance from Tokyo to the starting point of the Fuji track at Yoshida Guchi is approximately I 00 miles. We had previously arranged for the loan of a jeep to cover this distance, and so at 9 a.m. we left Tokyo for Yoshida. This journey proved a scenic delight, an excellent road (most unusual in Japan), which wound through majestic mountains in the Hakone district, giving wonderful views of the 6 lakes which practically surround the base of Fuji (L. Motosu, L. Shoji, L. Saiko, L. Kawaguchi, L. Yamanaka, L. Hakone-especially famous for its reflection of Mt. Fuji). These lakes are comparatively large, and the whole area comprises the Fuji-Hakone National Park. We arrived at Yoshida at 1 p.m. This town exists purely on the tourist and pilgrim traffic passing through the area, and as this was the height of the pilgrim season, the town was gaily decorated and very crowded. The money-making instinct is very finely developed in Japanese religions, and the poor pilgrims were certainly made to pay for the charms and souvenirs that are considered a "must have." Before starting on the track, one necessity is the pilgrim's staff, 4 ft. 6 in. 200 yen, and it is the most important "must have," because at each of the 10 stations or weather huts along the track the staff is branded with a hot iron, denot­ ing the number of the hut. At the summit (No. 10) it is branded in red and blessed by a priest. For this pious act they charge 30 yen at each hut, but at least it's one of the proofs that one has reached the summit. After parking the jeep at the police station (and carefully measuring the petrol tank), staff in hand we set out along the track. The first live miles from Yoshida to Umagaeshi (No. 1 hut) was quite an easy grade; a good wide track winding through thick woods. The weather was hot and humid, but clear. From Umagaeshi one starts to really climb, and it is a steep grade all the way to the summit. The weather huts are stationed at varying distances, ranging from half a mile to one and a half miles, getting closer together as one nears the summit (Fuji is quite a treacherous mountain in regard to its weather changes).

  • Moonambel - Pyrenees
    2006 SYRAH MOONAMBEL - PYRENEES As a lover of Northern Rhone, I wanted to explore a style of Syrah that was less about heat and explosive fruit and more about texture, power and nuance. Moonambel has interested me for some time and having found this cooler vineyard with a south easterly aspect, I started working with the grower to achieve vineyard management and direction to support the style of fruit that we are now seeing in bottle. This vineyard provides fruit that is deep, savoury and sweet as well as finely structured syrah 2006 syrah Vineyard Grapes are sourced from the Moonambel district of the Pyrenees. This is one of the coolest regions in Victoria. Sydney Victoria Moonambel TASTING NOTES King Valley Strathbogie Melbourne Yarra Valley Geelong Colour : Medium dark red. Semi opaque. Nose : Slightly reductive nose with red fruits, some herbs (subtle sage), olives, pepper and Vintage Conditions sweetness. 2006 provided low crops in a warm and dry year. There was Palate : Finely structured with great length and almost no disease pressure but we did drop a lot of fruit to layered tannins. Good flesh and fullness, yet avoid stress on the vines. elegant tannins. Dark, full fruit with texture and good line and length. Finishes off with Winemaking green olives and a balancing sweetness. One of the few wines that we make with the inclusion of stalks in the ferment, this wine sees about 10% stalks. Some foot stomping was carried out followed by hand plunging. The majority of this wine was pressed off after 7 days but a portion was kept on skins for an extended maceration.

  • News from the Serious Recognition of the Australian Alps’ Worth Is Coming in Thick and Fast
    #37 2008 news from the Serious recognition of the Australian Alps’ worth is coming in thick and fast. Most of us who live and work in and around the Alps have appreci- ated this landscape’s priceless value for many years, but 2008 will be remembered as the year that this iconic Australian landscape was given not just one, but two significant pats on the back. And in the big picture, these two ‘pats’ are more like two good whacks because they both carry serious clout. ALPS GETS NATIONAL HERITAGE LISTING The first came in June when the Alps region was declared one of Australia’s iconic destinations under the banner of the National Landscapes conservation/tourism initiative. The Australian Alps joins other iconic landscapes such as Kakadu and the Red Centre as a destination to appeal to international experience seekers. And being part of the initiative has brought with it all the resources on offer – especially support for the Alps as it works to develop its own strategic tourism plan as part of the initiative. And then came the second lot of big news. In early November the Federal Minister for the Environ- ment, Heritage and the Arts, Peter Garrett, announced National Heritage Listing* for the Australian Alps National Parks, an area of over 1.6 million hectares spanning Victoria, NSW and the ACT. Said Peter Garrett, “the listing of the Australian Alps National Parks recognises the outstanding natural, Indigenous and historic values of this iconic landscape.” Peter Jacobs, Convenor of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee explains. “The National Heritage Listing gives the Alps national significance.
