Sexist Controversz -

Dear Editors,

As current club disputes now seem to he dying, far be it from roe to start another, least of all what may be called a. 'sexist' controers, but v:hy eh why won't more girls come on week-end camping trips??

Each weekend the club walkers more cr less split; the fellers go on an overnight camp and the girls on a Sunday walk. . As an ARDENT womentslihher I deplore this self-imp,ced division of the sexes. Come on girls, where's your sense of adventure?

There are 2eriences and joys to be had on a camping trip unknown on a day-walk. The relationships between the people become much more meaningful and deep, reflecting the wilder, graider country:

Most of the girls in our club are magnificent physical specimens, quite capable of undertaking the average week-end camp, and, girls,, if you are a bit uncertain there are stalwart types abounding like Jordan, Vidler, Meda-ris, Whiteley (and myself) ever ready to lend a helping hand, give sustenance or whatever, even 22rhaps carry your pack.

So come on, be in it girls, do your thing on a camping trip.

Your segregated walker, Don Shepherd * * Dear Heather,

On many bushwalks, more cars than are needed aásemble at the meeting place and these are left behind for the day or weekend. Sometimes this is unavoidable - e.g. when more or fewer people than expected turn up for the walk. But if everyone volunteering the use of his/her car wrote down it5 passenger capacity on the list at Paddy Pallins, the leader would. find it easier to calculate exactly how many cars are needed. Eliminating the surplus of cars is desirable for two reasons: first, the safety aspect of leaving - a car unattended for more than 24 hou'rsinra hotel car park; secondly, the convenience to non-bushwalking members of a household. Spending a weekend in Canberra without a car can be rather limiting, and it can be a bit annoying to learn th t the spouse/relative/housemate who took the car to go bushwalkirig didn't need it after all.

Yours sinoerely, - Stephen Nisbet - - Page 3 IT API?ILH974.

AMONG MY SOUVENIRS

Madam,

Inrezponse to your request (IT, January 19A0 for evidence of an alleged trip to Nepal last year, I submit the following exhibits, taken from a personal file labelled 'Rolwaling 1973 1 .

1 Couitles-pieces of ppr headed 'Ausventure - A Division of Warwick Deaco

Enterprises Pty Ltd' ii

The first of these, undated but received about January 1972,. has written on the

1.ack ot it in a fast red biro what appears to be the following words: 'Shar&c holderE heck Oct 73 A G Hanford G Budd Vi Deacock Ronalds wring - Tesi lqaika'. la etc Interested ? W..' During the 18 months or so which followed, this curious message turned into 'Die groac himalaya Bergfahrt (or D.G.H.B. for short) - a trek by Messrs Budd, Bomford, Deácock, Herd, MCutcheon, Miller, and Ms flastien up the Rolwaling valley in north east Nepal, over the Tesi Lapcha Pass, and down the Thami valley to Nanche Bazar. (The Germanic title of the trip eriginate& from a brochure, written in German, which seemed to describe the exploits of a group of Germans who had previeusly.visited the Rolwaling valley. The brochure was accepted by the only member of our party who could read German as evidence that the Rolwaling existed and would go.)

2. An itinerary, dated 12 Ju1ij 973

This had the party leaving Sydney on 28 Beptember 1973; starting the D.G.H.B. from Barahie a village about 90 km east of Kathmandu, on 1 October; flying by air charter from Lukla to ICathmandu on 26 October; and returning to Sydney on 28 October. Scattered through the itinerary are phrases ]ijce 'Transfer to Asia Hotel ... Transfer to Hotel Shankr .. Transfer to airport ... I These apparently simple directions, applying to phases in our transit through various cities en route to and from Kathmandii, ref ér to what came to be some of the more anxious episodes of the trip - when our mountain of baggage had to be assembled and temporarily separated from us forsome bureaucratic purpose. The party never fully recovered from an episode at Melbourne airport on its departure, when it became convinced that only 20 of . its 21 pieces of baggage had been loaded on the plane.

3e A picas of paper headed D.G.H.B. and dated 21 August 1373

Paragraph 3 reads as follows: 'If you want a colour stripe golf brolly I can Page 4 IT APRIL 1974 get in Sydney .. le me know by 12.9.73 if you want one. W.' This well meaning offer to all members of the party caused consternation among those who had been developing secret ambitions,,to go high. Such members had been greatly ecitea"by a note received the previous month from the party's itathmandu consultant, advising that crampons, ice-axes, and ropes would be issued to us in Kathmandu but suggesting, that we bring our own slings and karabiners. It seemed inconQeivable that a trip which required the party to be equipped with'gOlf brollies couIdhae any use whatsoever for crampons etc; and ludicrous t6'imagine a party so equipped crossing a high pass in the Himalayas. (We were to demonstrate later, however, that golf broflies can in fact go high, are interchangeable with ice-axes for &now-work, and have some advantage over ice-axeg in the rain.) a 4 A heavily fingered 'Trekking Permit For Place Inside'

Written mainly in Nepalese, it states on the back that the Ministry of H )me Panchayat Affairs ' ... appreciate any such courtesy and assistance as he/she may stand in need of by the Anchladis ..., Sahayak Anchaladis ..., Pramtikh Zila Adhikari.' The trekking permit, it seemed, was supposed to be our main protection against arrest and possible execution along the track. However, there was only one occasion when we felt in need of such protection. This was during a noisy argument with some drunken inhabitants of the village of Sitni, over access to our kerosene. We decided on that occasion that a generous distribution by us of some crushed and sodden Gurkha brand cigarettes, and the frequent dropping of Sir Edmund Hillary's name, would be more effotie thaS porducing our trekking permits.

An international vaccination certificate, stamped on

The Pathologist was represented for the act of vaccination by a man introducing himself to me as the brother of our hotel taxi-driver. He was full of confidence as he punged a needle deep into my arm, and although it was 30 September, he recorded the date of the operation as 30 April 1973. This was probably the last date on which the needl& had been used.

A map titled tLamosangu to Mt EveCst"

The thap has a scaleof 2 miles to the inch, and thousand-foot . contour intenals. It shows a considerable amount of informgtion, including 'Compas of importance', 'Huts or Guest Houses for sleeping', 'Markets on Saturdayst, 'Shops with beric commodities', and 'Teahouses'. It also has a simple glossary in one corner, giving Nepali words for such phrases as 'Is there a jflace to sleep here?' and 'Is there a place to eat here?'. Immediately below the glossary there is a warning: 'In Nepal, all paths and bridges are liable to disappear or eb.ange at no notice, thie to monsoons, Acts of &ods, etc."

7. .4 route guide to the ! Rolwaling valley, prddUced by Lt Col J.O.M. Rob rtZ of 'Moimtain Travel - Kn1Hrnpn,R,,

Space does, not allow the reproduction heie of extracts from the route guide (nor does It CalRoberts). But it difficult to refrain from quoting the Special' Note which appears imme'diMely below the heading 'Barahbise to Namche Bazar via Rolwaling valley, and Tehi Lepcha-Pass (19,100 ft)'. It reads: 'This route, to Namoho Bazar should only be attempted by competent, well-equipped parties with climbing experience Teshi Lepeha is not only a high glacier pass subject to heavy snow f,alt5,' it also has specil dangers from constant rock fails. The pass is us¼s aliy considered open from May to September, but it is normally passable in:o otober and November, even December, and in April,. However, heavy snow fa34 sometiies occur during these jtpnths making the pass difficult perhaps impaoSS.blCt ' . The route guides were given to the p&ty soon after its arrival 1m kthmiáu, and the Special Note quoted, above immediately Page 5 IT APRIL 1:974 restored the confidence of those who had been seriously disturbed - by the earlier golf brolly episode. The next day, most members of the party went out and bought umbrellas in one of the Kathmandu bazaars. - - -

C. Vast nmnhers of photos

These thow, from every possible angle, all the elements of Himalayan trekking - such as innmmerable tops and sides of mountaIns, clouds, villages, rice terraces, houses, gompas, campsites, chortens, prayer flags, mani walls, , gorges bridges, tracks, Sherpas, fellow trekkers, and animals. Also leeches. These photos can be produced on request, but preferably to captive audiences.

9. A receipt dated 26 October 1973 from the Shanta Rhawan Ho as

It is not uncommon for members of parties carrying ice-axes and crampons-to be accidently punctured by these pieces of equipment long before they are 1ought into tse for their intended purposes. In addition to carrying these traditional sources of inury, our party had a number of other items of equipment with potential for damage. For example we soon discovered that large numbers of unbrellas opening and closing without warning in a confined space can be quite hazardous. We were also carrying a bottle of oxygen which, because it had a delicate top that could be accidently broken off, had to be treated Bbnewhat 111cc a live bomb, iTnally, we were carrying a suitcase full of bandaids, pills, hypodermic needles, bandages, and other medical paraphenalia. As most members of the party were constantly feeding themselves pills, with increasing frenzy as altitude was gained, an accidental overdosage of drigs was a distinct possibility. It would not have been surprising therefore, given our considerable capacity for damaging purselves quite indepently of any external forces, if at least one member of the party had required hospitalization during the trip. It says much for the management of Warwick Deacock Enterprises Pty Ltd, and the behLviour of the seveniareholders of the company who visited the Rolwaling valley, that this never ftocame necessary. The two shareholders who spent the last few days of the trip in ttk Shanta Bhawan Hospital went there essentially because they were tired. Yourl etc N.R. Miller

WALKS PREV'I]MS

DON'T FORC]'T Bush Songs Weekend, 20121 April, previewed in last month's newslrtter.

25-28 April Tooma P. - Jagumba Range - Dargals - grey Mare Range

Take Anzac Day, take Friday off, add one weekend and you have a four day break. . Add one car swap and Iteet Vdllak and John Hogan will be but ships in the night.

The walk will be of medium/medium grade and overnight stops will be made at or near huts where possible. The area covered, because of the length of the Walk, will be relatively rare by club standards and should be worthwhile both for people unfamiliar with this part of the Snowies and for -those wishing to try their hand at an extended walk.

Because of the season, the weather is more predictably unpredictable tharf.usual so be prepared for SNOW; bring warm gear.

Two lists will be placed on the board at Paddy's, one for the Vaflak party and one for the Hogan party and you may cast your first preferences aocordjnly (for transport reasons the final parties will need to be about the same size). The lists will close for further passenger acceptance on Tuesday 5 pm, 23 April.

(26)27/28 April Buckenbowra River

The Buckenbowra River is located to the east of Monga and just south of Clyde Mountain (on the way to the coast).

An,early start will be required, or, Saturday morning (involving a short car shuffle). First walk over Murrengenhurg Mountain and down a spur 'which ends in the Buckenhowr River. Then follow down the river to a creek junction (520705) where, hopefully, a. campsite will be found.

On Sunday a spur will be followed out to a point '3325' - almost 3,000' UP. Mileage for the trip should be a little under 20 miles.

Sentry Box is a 5;650 foot peak south of.Ou&genby gill just inside the ACT/NSW border,

The wafl will be straight up the ridge to the top, starting where the Gudgenby Road crosses NaAs Creek. Tobal distance is about 7 miles plus a 2000 foot climb. An early start will be nade.

Because ofAnzac Day bookings will close on Wednesday 24 April at 5 pm. If you wish to contact the leader please do so at his home number only. (H) 88 , 3714..

(3)4/5 May Yadboro - Castle - Darri Pass - Castle Gap - Yadboro

S This is an excellent walk and is well recommended. A friday night camp will be made on Yadboro Creek. Saturday will involve a 2000 foot climb to the top of the Castle (the last 500 feet being without packs). The route proceeds from the Castle S saddle around the bottom of the Shrouded Gods Mountain toPass where the night will be spent in a camping cave.

Sunday will see the party down to the Clyde River for a pleasant few hours before another 1000 foot climb to the Castle Gap, a saddle which joins Byangee Walls to the Castle. Awombat parade below the Castle cliffs will leal to a fine trail back to Yadboro.

Guaranteed attractions will be splendid views, a great variety of walking, lyrebirds and little scrub.

11/12 May Boobee Hut Maintanance

With the kind permission of the' KFiA, he club has adopted Boobee Hut located at Kosciusko 1:100,000 - 317081.

The hut was originally structured in iron with a wooden floor, its size being 12 metres by 6 metres. Its present condition is in a state of near collapse. This hut is in a very useful position and shoulu be saved if at all possible.

Likely work to be carried out includes the re-establishment of timber framework and footings plus general maintenance. Please bring tools, nails, saws, food, axes, enthusiasm and willingness to work - a walk of about three kilometres is included. -

The hut can.be saved

W4KS REPORTS Tuross Falls: 9/10 March

For those of us who had been to the Tuross before, its change in character was quite surprising. Three or more inches of rain in the past few days had transformed the loosely) copne,ctei crrstal pools into a muidy torrent. We had hoped to swim in those granite pools, but instead could only gaze at the numerous foaming rapids which extend about a mile above the falls.

Normally there is a single, thin stream pouring over the main falls, which are about one hundred feet high. This was replaced by two parallel falls, each several times bigger than the old one, which churned the pools below and created a mist which rose out of the gorge. A superb, wall-like ridge, jutting into the gorge, allows One to get directly opposite the Paje U APRIL 1974

cascade, to see the raging sheets of water, and to be soaked by the cool mist. In the opposite direction there stretches the gorge with its towering cliffs and boulder filled floor, half.. covared by the swollen river.

Whtbver the level of the river, the Tuross Falls area offers a delightful trip, either swimming in superb pools or watching the turbulent rapids and eascadea. Andrew Thompson

Waterfall Creek: 31 March

Eleven walkers turned out for a supposedly longrough' trip.

After a aelay, caused by a flooded carburettor (caused by the driver going via a 'short cut'), morning tea was had outside Coree Hut.

The trip finafly got under way at about 11.15 am. A fine trail (with some ups and downs) was followed for abput 5 miles, then a half mile through the hush found us at the falls. It was a most unexpectei and terrific view from the falls. We could see down to the C.00dradigbee River, and across the tops of the Brindabella Hills (to the pineforests about 20 miles from Tuinut).

After lunch 3 of us went further down the falls (while the rest started back) and about -- way down we found a poo7, about 4 feet &eep and a perfect spot for a summer bludge.

Meanwhile, members of the main party went their separate nys (not being too sara of the right direction), however the leader eventually brought them back together again.

Due to the late hour, and some dissention with the party, we returned via the same route, arriving at the cars at about 5.30 pm. C-ar31 Medaris.

NOTE: We have received advioe from the National Parks and Wildlife Service that camping at Durras North is permitted only in the camping area provided.

BOOK REVIEW: 'The MacDonnell Ran g es!

The remote ranges of Central , in company with the Great Barrier Reef, have become key attractions to the thousands of tourists flocking to this country every year. Australian tourists too are visiting the centre in rapidly growing numbers and it is perhaps surprising that more C.B.C. members have not tet made its acquaintance. The publication, tT1e MacDonneil Ranges' by Henry C-old and frank Rigby, a swork of some seitsitivity and dedication, will hrig some inkling of the inspirational experience a visit to the centre can provide.

As the book so amply fllustrttes, Australia's centre is a region of great contrasts: contrast in Scale, coiou., t ex!ture , vegetation, moods and also in its weather. Widely known as a parched, arid land, the traditionally challenging landscape can soften into a sea of waving grass and wildflowerS after the infrequent rains.

C-old's photographs parad efore us both the harshness of this land and its beauty, its immense, lOwely vistas and its great delioaoy of terture in rock, soil, bark and bush.. This ancient contifletit tnnds revealed in those arresting lsiee Win eli c.3nm a-vnt't l:o,i print. His pictures draw Page 10 IT APRIL 1974

out the fascinating form of the land itself: its stark ribs of rock, sculptured hillside flanks and mysteriOus, sun--drenched valleys. The famous reds, yellows, oranges and browns are all there hut, in favoured positions, relieved by unexpected shades of green and blue.

This land, on which the hand of time has lain so heavily has furnishings to match: gnarled, twisted trees and shrubs, spiny spinifex, craggy rock faces, and pluinmetting chasms caned by many centuries of water flow.

The desert flowers, a special feature in the book, area particular treat. However, every photograph Is crammed with interest and some are superb products of the professional. Some may find a jarring note in the close juxtapoaition, in places, of both colour and black and white pictures.

Frank Rigby's text includes a reverent description of 'Altjira t as the Aranda call the MacDonnells, then facts about the early erlorers, the future of the region and some p'actical notes for trQkkers. His writing describes well the compelling character of these ranges: their grim harshness, the unexpected 5eauty of their changing light and their airr of timeless serenity.

He points out how, in addition to unusual visual effects produced by the high temperatures and piercing light of the desert, the sparseness of the vegetation enhances the unique form and colour of living rock and painted soil; and how these thany factors interact to produce one vast kaleidoscope of colour. This reviewer remembers well how the desert dawn can provide an experience of unforgettable beauty.

Pleading stro%ly for the oreation of a national park, the chapter on conservation discusses the impact of modern man on the region, particularly through grazing and tourism In some areas the heavy hand of man is all too apparent. The book suggests some rçmedies.

I suspect that the chapter on bushwalking would be over the heads of most readers but it is crammed with invaluable information for the bushwalking party planning a trip in the region. This fine book should spur many walkers to consider making such a journey. - Harry Black

Here are a few track notes for the trek via the Alpine Walking Track and Kosciusko National Park. As a party of one, at took mc 25 days of perfect weather. For maps I used Esso, a couple of I 25O,OOO non-topographic sheets, the Snowy Mtns. Authority map of their area, and a few pages torn from Snowy Mountains Walks. This combination was light and inexpensive but completely inadequate.' -

The above is paragraph I f-'om an article the Editors recently received from Bill Purvis, a Canadian visitor to Canberra, who some members may remember from a recent walk to Whites Riven The article runs to 9 closely written pages,and is, in form, a route guide rather than an article of general interest and for these reasons it is a little beyond the scope of IT. The manuscript however has been placed in the Club library and members who are interested may borrow it. As a general route guide lam prepared to recommend it, on my limited experience of the area.

In Victoria it has become more than an ida. .A Committee of representatives from the Federation of Victorian Walking Cltbs, the Forests Commission of Victoria, and the Ministry of, Tourism Was set .up some time ago to determin a route from Mt. Erioa, 80 miles eastbf MclbournQ, to Tom Groggin on the N.S.W. Border. Markihg and signposting of present tracks and oleaxing or cutting of new tracks is being dope YAostly by the FCV, and finance is being provided by grants from the Ministry of Tourism.

The track was originally to be known as the Alpine Track, but the present name was adopted in 1972 to define the track's use more precisely. It is proposed, ftr instance, that trail hikes, etc, be completely banned from the track. Terry J. * * It S FIRST AID HINTS

On Pat Ryan's receot trip to The Gtrge, we spent Sundaf following the race from its start to the Mongarlowe Road, aft-er camping the ght before in idyllic condition3 by the sine uf t.;lto lagooiA Members of the party Page 12 IT APRIL974 throughout the walk expxessed amazement at the amount of work and care that must have gone into the construction, considering the obvious antiquity of the race and the relatively small amount of water it must have carried: quite apart from the distance, the race in places cuts through rock, and in other places seemed to have leaped great rivers at a single bound.

The race was built in 1886. Department of Mines records for that year report that the Corang Company had started cutting a water race from the Corang River to their 25 acre alluvial lease at the head of Saiorts Gully. This would run for appr'ox 25 miles, crossing gufly and low ground by fluming which,'in some places wduld he 10 met abo-e the ground. Eighty men were employed in its construction.

The following year, the Corang Sluicing Company (assumed to be the Corang Company abovementioned) had completed its construction, which, was by then in use. The cost of the completed race was quoted at £10,000.

A second race which had commenced at much the same tine, by a rival company, was to have brought water from the Little (now Mongarlowe) River, - to another 25 acre claim near Oallen Ford - a distance of 21 miles. At the time the first race was completed, 'however, the second company had encountered industrial trouble, and the cost of completing the Mongarlowe race was quoted at £30,000.

The completed Corang race was 'the most complete and extensive in the Colony, and 'reflected great credit on all concerned'. It ran an actual total of 24 miles. The first 140 ft, had to he out through rock, using large quant- ities of powder and dynamite. The Corang River was crossed twice at a height of 80 feet, and in several places the races ran' through galvanised iron piping (to Jerritknorra Creek) and through several tunnels of 1300 ft, 800 ft and 500 ft.

- , The water race in mining has great antiquity. The principle is that a constant flow of water to aid in sluicing or washing at a mine site could be supplied by damning a water source and diverting the water into a channel which had a slight incline, and leaving the force of gravity to do the rest.

Little apart from the earLhworks remains of the Corang race now. At gully' crossings, some rusty corrugated iron can still be found, but the wooden pylons have .long since burnt down. They must have been major feats of engineering to support the flimsy channel of corrugated iron across some of the wider gullies. Near the top of the race, small boulders have been physically dug out of the ground to a depth of 4 feet in places and neatly piled up to form the dowuslope wall of the channel. , Further down in flptter country, the land has subsequently been cleared and trees and debris bulldozed in to the channel to fill it. 'Near the former inlet some concrete remains but most of the work here has disappeared, and it is long since the race carried water. Trees and scrub are starting to grow in the old channel again now, hut it will be long before the last of the stonework is obliterated.

NATIONAL PARKS/CONSERVATION COMMITTEE - RE0RCANISATION

At the meeting of the National Parks and Conservation Committee on 28 March, it was decided that the committee could no longer continue- to operate in a traditional manner, as the work involved is voluminous and urgent. So, at Don Shepherd's suggestion, enthusiastically and unanimously received by committee members, radical new policies have been inEtituted. - - -

- The work of the committe- is to be split into the various causes/areas to beddeált with, and these are to be allocated to individual members, wlta sole carè:and responsibility they will become. The committe will still - meet for pupCses of 000rdination and major decision making, but the work load will now be much more evenly distributed,- and, one hopes, even more vital and effective.

PORTPOLIOS ARE GOING CHEAP -

The following have already been allocated:

-. - - Kelly-udgenby.= Gary Medaris - - Bungonia = Trevor Bunning Tasmania = Terry Jordan - Canberra local = Don Shepherd

We still need volitnteers to take on the following: - Deua-Brogo-Tuross - Kosciusko Woodchip Industry Tinderrjes (how about a day walker?) Miscellaneous ( -Kakadu, Boyd ...) Some knowledge of the area would help but the only qualificaficns really Page 15 IT APRIL 1974 neosssary are interest and a certain dedication. —Authcrjsed for the N.P.C.

H * * * MOTION TO AMEND P20FOS CONSTITUTION

I intend to move a motion at the May meeting that sections 3.2 and 5.3 of the proposed constitution he amended to include the words 'student membQrs'.

I propoe this new category of membership because I feel that more yowiger members tould be attracted tr the club if a special membership category is introdced and lower membership fees are charged for these people. Dan Buchier * * * Points from Executive Committee Meeting 1/4174

Meetings: As part of attempts to streamline monthly meetings, wlile allowing members to comnent on decisions, it has been suggested that decisions should be made by the committee and published in 'IT', with an invitation to comment at the monthly meeting. Unless a member raises the topis at the meeting, the decisions will be deemed approved. This was agreed to by the committe. I

Constitution: See separate reports. Also, it was decided thatone half hour be given to discussion of clauses in the constitution. Discusion will be continued in this manner at following meetings until the. full constitution has been c1 iscuásed. It is hoped that the guest sppaicer can commence at 8.4-5 pm. [Note: will members please brink

The committee has co—opted Alan Vidler to the committee as Club member to replace John Rutherford upon his departure.

Publication: It has been decided to seek a high—quality, professional printing typist as soon as possible. * * * Treasurer'; Report; as at 1/4/74- 0-eneral Account $684 Publication Fund $377 Search and Rescue Fund $128 Conservation Fund $259
