A new edition of "Policy, blankets is another method of fund raising. Organisation and Rules" is planned and manuscript is being prepared for the first Australian Trefoil Handbook. In an appeal to States to keep full records, the Australian Archivist stressed the need "to keep before us that what is done today is history tomorrow". Although many queries concerning our history are now able to be answered, the search for information continues. The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts works alongside UNICEF for children in many countries. The Australian Association's United Nations Liaison identifies ways in which Australian Guiding can assist UNICEF and this information is passed on to States. After initial production problems, new uniforms for members are being phased in.

4 "TO UNDERSTAND THE OTHER COUNTRY IS VERY IMPORTANT ...... ". These words were part of the Korean greeting given at the International Heritage Tour at Western Australia during the 150th year celebrations. Contingents of rangers from Bangladesh, Canada, Hong Kong , Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Australian States solved language difficulties with hand signals, patience and much laughter.

The 4th National Gathering of Trefoil Guilds held at Victor Harbour in South Australia was attended by 160 members from all States. A large contingent of Australians attended the 13th General Assembly of the International Fellowship of Former Scouts and Guides in Norway. Two guides from a country region of New South Wales were the first to be chosen to go to New Zealand in August, 1979, under the Trans Tasman Exchange Prog ramme in conjunction with Air New Zealand. Shortly two guides will arrive from New Zealand under this scheme. Six young Australians, including an assistant guide leader, were among 45 young people from nine countries who visited Britain, July 1979, under a Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council Project called Commonwealth Springboard 79/80. Currently contingents of guides, rangers and leaders are participating in county camps in the United Kingdom. Members of the Australian Associations Events Panel help plan itineraries and make necessary arrangements for those selected to represent Australia overseas. A group of 25 New Zealand members from Adelaide's sister-city, Christchurch, toured South Australia as guests of guiding. We were delighted to welcome the Commonwealth Chief Commissioner, Mrs. Sheila Owen Walker; former editor of the world guiding publication "Council Fire", Mrs. Alix Liddell and the Public Relations Adviser for New Zealand , Mrs. Owen John.

6 BEARS BY TH E THOUSANDS - ADVENTURE AND CELEBRATIONS. The 70th year of World Guiding has been celebrated in many ways by Australian guides. Two States, New South Wales and Queensland, marked the year as their 60th Anniversary. Nearly 600 guides and leaders travelled by special trains and buses to Queensland's Adventure Camp. A water slide in the obstacle course became the centre of hilarious and cooling fun at Rangeabout, when 100 rangers camped for a weekend of canoeing, archery, fencing, abseiling, tai-kwon-do, volleyball - and in their spare time, table tennis and screen printing. Big bears, small bears, bears with brownies and brownies with bears gathered when 3,000 Brisbane brownies held a huge Teddy Bears Picnic; and on the same day brownies gathered for Teddy Bears Picnics throughout the length and breadth of Queensland. The Diamond Jubliee of Guiding in New South Wales was launched in conjunction with the Festival of Sydney. Brownies, guides and rangers sang and danced, built canoes, cooked camp 'tucker' and displayed handcrafts in Hyde Park. Later in the week hundreds of guides handed out thousands of blue and gold balloons to holiday crowds watching the Festival Parade. Commemorative badges and ribbons were produced; colourful gardens in the shape of our World Badge bloomed in the Alexandra Gardens in Melbourne; World flags flew from public Above: Even a koala came to Queensland's Teddy Bears PiCniC' buildings; dozens of colourful handmade guiding banners brightened Adelaide's streets during the Festival of Arts; and a beautiful rose, Olave Baden-Powell, now blooms in many Below: "Hurry up. we 're starving'" - New South Wales Diamond Jubilee Australian gardens following its introduction from the United Camp Kui-Cooinda.

Tasmanian Rangers made a raft from 290 empty milk cartons and floated it to third place in a sponsored Raft Race conducted Inter by the YMCA. Visitors Day at a camp for 150 was a lighthearted look at 'the good old days' - 1910-type uniforms and activities, FOR ( and a hilarious Beach Girl Contest.

Brownies, guides and rangers received as much pleasure in giving as the recipients did in receiving. And, the variety of projects was remarkable, very heartwarming and geared to the age group concerned. They ranged from individual to unit to State to national level; even the Australian District Overseas took up the challenge; and at world level guides contributed to the World Bureau writing competition, "Reach Out and Toucr Friend". Another World Association IYC event was a month long Seminar entitled "The Three Worlds of the Child" held at Sangam Centre, Poona, India. As one Australian leader said, "Our month in India passed all too quickly. We all learnt much about India, about the needs of children, more about the links of world guiding, about international friendship and about ourselves". Guiding was well represented at a Children's Conference in Canberra when 200 young people from all States were given an opportunity to discuss their attitudes to life, their ideas for the future, and how they can playa greater role in influencing factors affecting their lives. The theme was "Kid's Care". The flgours 01 railing A popular nation-wide guiding project was the production of a (Photo courtesy The Exammer Press) book of stories and poems written for children by brownies and guides. Hundreds of entries arrived in the Public Relations Victoria's busy year included a Childrens' Christmas Concert at the Myer Music Bowl, a Fun Fair and the opening of a new Scout/Guide sailing centre ...... At Folk Fest '79 rangers danced lively folk dances and used their ingenuity to make and use musical instruments from scrap materials. In South Australia an annual variety show, "Carry on Guides", involved girls, leaders and the community in a challenging and successful project; and thousands joined in the fellowship of an International Fun and Fiesta Day. Fun for guides on Friendship Day at the 12th Australian Jamboree in Perth when, as guests of the scouts, they tried activities ranging from grass ski-ing to giant chess. More than 250 brownies and their leaders wore dresses of the period to attend a Bush Picnic and Fair during Western Australia's 150th Anniver­ sary celebrations; every unit was involved in some way with their State's year-long 'birthday'. Blinding rainstorms, bright sunshine, screaming gales - the vagaries of the weather in this vast country could not dampen the enthusiasm and fun when hundreds of rangers in every State met for their annual regattas, with events in and on the water, and on the beach. Lones, who for reasons of location or illness do their guiding by correspondence, enjoyed meeting each other at Lones camps and get-togethers.; Blowing bubble pipes, venture obstacles, making animals from autumn leaves were some of the enjoyable activities for mentally Extension Guides raise the fla g - South Aus tralia and physically disabled girls at camps for Extension Guides.

The financial year to 30 June 1980 resulted in an increase in total funds available to the Association of $3,650 when tak ing into account administration funds, the Irene Fairbairn Fund and the Australian World Centres Fund, this compares with an increase of $21 ,930 in th e previous year. In my opinion this is a very creditable result considering the great changes which have occurred in the Association during the year. including purchase and removal to new headquarters, creation and publication of a national magazine, and last but not least finally the incorporation in the A.CT of the Association . These, together with the general day to day housekeeping for the Association and its projects have not been accomplished without a deal of intensive devotion to duty of the executive and staff and the expenditure of a considerable amount of money. The Association's programmes for National Development were expanded within the budget provided. The funds of the Association continue to be in vested in readily realisable and secure assets such as debentures and savings bonds. $6,932 was received and paid to special appeals during the year ($5,493 in 1979) . The bulk of this amount was used to alleviate disaster victims in Bangladesh and Fiji, the balance was for the Olave Memorial Fund. Mutual aid to Malaysia.
