A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY Canberra Bu shwalk e rs

I I •---- Whilst perusing old issues of the Walkabout Magazine, I came across an interesting item. Around 1944, The Wilderness Society sphagnum moss in the ACT was harvested for the war _ C effort. It seems that this species, specifically that growing on the slopes about two or three kilometres past the chalet at Ml Franklin, was very similar to that BAT1ONAL PERKS ASSOCIAIOti found in .

The moss was cut in swathes by broad axe then transported over rails and sleepers to a bush track and up to the road on the crest. Here the moisture was squeezed out by two presses enabling the moss to be SH DAN([I P4 LI P=t baled prior to transportation. (This would tend to place it at Mt Ginini,. possibly Ginini Flats, where theie is an "tWOOLIES HOME BAND" arboretum.)

Transport costs are presently 25 cents per kilometre per car divided equally among ALL participants.

Park admission and camping fees additional costs, leaders should list these separately and not merely add them to the transport costs.

- Committee member * - Household Member + - Honorary Life Member Corrections to Roger Edwards 2881863(h) Please CANBERRA BUSHWALKING CLUB - MINIMAL IMPACT BUSHWALKING CODE (last Chanq& - August 1920)

The need for long tracts of duckboard in the popular walking areas of Kosciusko and elsewhere to control erosion and damage to plant species, discarded drink cans and ugly campfire rings piled with tins and bottles, all testify to the impact recreationists have had on the environment.

Two decades ago care for the environment did not seem to matter much. We threw our cans on the fire or buried them. Now it is different. There are so many more people using wilderness areas. The code below, compiled from several sources, gives positive steps that we can take to minimise our impact on the resource that provides us with so much pleasure.

CAMPSITES

1.1 Use an existing campsite rather than make a new one in the same area. Setting up camp will be easier and additional ground cover will not be damaged. Leaders should limit the size of their party, especially in sensitive areas. 1.2 Bring your own tent poles or use dead timber. Never cut live trees for poles. 1.3 Use of sensitive areas requires special care. Do not camp in the catchment of glacial lakes.

CAMPFIRES

2.1 Fires should not be lit in sensitive areas, such as sub-alpine regions. Stoves must be used in high-use areas (note: in some areas, for example Tasmania, legislation prescribes "stove only" areas). 2.2 Use established firesites wherever possible. Distribute ashes and unused firewood. Spread leaf litter or soil over the firesite. In sandy soil bury ashes. 2.3 Use only tillen, dead wood for fires. 2.4 Don't make fires near trunks of trees, on roots, on peaty soil, or where the fire could spread. 2.5 Quench the fire completely. Keep water handy to control the fire should it spread. 2.6 Don't even think of lighting a fire or stove during a total fire ban! 2.7 Don't dispose of aluminium foil, plastics or cans by burning (note: some containers appear to be made of carboard but can be lined with foil). When in doubt carry it out! Don't dispose of other material unless the fire is very hot and you are sure that it will be reduced to ash. 2.8 Exercise care with stoves. Do not allow excess pressure which may cause safety valve ignition.

SANITATION

3.1 Bury human wastes. Take a trowel and dig a small hole well away from any open water. 3.2 If in snow burn toilet paper after use, (or use snow!). 3.3 Disposal of human waste at heavily-used campsites requires more effort. Go much farther away! 3.4 Wash well away from streams and ensure that soap, detergents and food refuse do not enter watercourses. When cleaning utensils use gritty sand rather than soap.

RUBBISH

4.1 Apply the "carry in, carry out" rule. This applies to orange peel, fruit cores, sanitary items, seeds and egg shells. Remember to take some plastic bags. 4.2 Before leaving a lunch spot or cAmpsite check that no rubbish is left.

TRACKS AND ROUTES

5.1 Go in small parties and tread carefully to avoid damaging vegetation. Use stepping stones in eroded areas if available. 5.2 Limit walking in areas that have been over-used. 5.3 Minimise walking on loose ground, scree slopes, dunes, marshes and bogs. 5.4 Keep to marked or formed tracks. Do not take short cuts on zig-mg tracks.

FLORA AND FAUNA

6.1 Native flora and fauna should be left undisturbed. Do not kill snakes. 6.2 Do not take domestic animals on walks. 6.3 Report sightings of feral animals, illegal forest grazing or illegal use of protected areas (eg. wood cutting or removal of rocks) to park or forest authorities as appropriate.

NOISE

7.1 Radios and cassette players should be left at home.
