Everyone is familiar with Jagungal. Most Canberrans have visited the Goodradigbee Wilderness (split as it is into 3 separate sections, by two main roads). Many of us have walked'(or skied) in the Pilot Wilderness even if only as far as Tin Mine or even the Cascades. But how many of us' have visited the Byadbo Wild- nerness? How many even know where it is? Where it is is east, (repeat east), of the Snowy River and just this side of the Victorian border. It includes about 40 miles of the Snowy itself, upstream from Jacobs Ladder and is bordered by another 15. As one follows the Barry Way, down the west bank, one sees, Levi sit- ç : November 1976 Page 3 looking across the Wide pebbly fiats of the river, high, steep and barren hillsides. Little grows heret there are only small twisted Murray Pines in the bare red earth. This is where the eight of us went on the October long weekend. Our route followed initially up the Snowy from the Jacobs Ladder picnic area for 3 miles, then up a long winding spur, across the ridgetop fire trail and down to Byadbo Creek for our first camp0 Due to a slow and tired party, the last section was done by moonlight, but is an indicdt ion of how open this couitry is that we found it fairly easy going. Next day some of us climbed Byadbc, which is not so much a high peak as a central point. It is tree--clothed on tup, but there are good views nevertheless to tho east - to Tingaringy and the Little River valley, an extensive tract of wooded hills gradually giving-way to grazing land. Tho forest on those tops is thick, but still pleasant going. Back on the creek vie reached a gra.Bsy clearing 388223, and from there followed a tributary north to rejoin the fire trail. These fire trails unfortunately- seem to be a feature of K.N.P. They are - there for purpose of "maintenance" and occur throughout all the Wilderness zones, This one had boon graded within the last six months, and appeared to be used fairly regularly. It took us down a most,.. spectacular ridge to the Snowy at .Biddi", . •- Monday precented us with the problems of river-crossing (the . Snowy is too deep ford in most places - we swam), and an idleH baa:: down the river for six miles A bridle track develops into a : disused two-wheel track after passing some logging d mps. We found some interesting machinor, including a motor mounted on two Wheels on 6 foot of caiil:.g - wc surrEiced it might have- been a saw mOunting. Also the door of an oil truck, complete with exendable metal hm- d, bringing back rsnories of school busce, The Snowy is a pleasant river, despite its size. Contrary to our expectations, we found i warm - ideal foiwiniming. (In-retro- spect, this is not so surprising --at this time of year ; no water :s being released from Jniabyne Ban, so no alpine waters reach this point at all,) As one goes east along the river, the Murray Pines of the rain shadow appear less, and a more varied and a gentler forest develops, At Biddi. we camped under two enormous spreading dead gum tcees. The rine a:e lost too if one climbs more than a thousand feet above the ri',tr, to be ieplaced by woodland , under- lain by snowgrass and some acacia scrub. The creeks tended to be swampy or, more often, dr y . Wat3r is a real problem away from the river. Nevertheless the-re is an abundance of wild life. Notable were the brumbies - t oirtrEils: (ard dung heaps) were everywhere. Birdlife was plentiful, and,down on the ther we saw the tracks of many emus in the sand. My main memories, however, willbe of the weather. The air was often a blüe-blaok haze which made the, hills look larger than life — huge and secretive. At tines from the higher ridges we could see the Ramsheads and the Charcoal Range to the northeast - a world of snow peaks, different and distant. The cbuds tich movedin slowly from the west, sometimes disintegrated after passing Byadbo, sometimes brimmed with moisture. The rain puured down at nights, then cleared away to brilliant mornings. Terry Page 4 IT November 1976 Cinch Creek - Jones Creek, October 8/9/10 This hardly warrants a walks report as it was over country well known to this club and with its scenic features described in the walks preview0 Fifteen members were in the party and fortunately fifteen returned to the cars just after dark on Sunday. My thanks to Craig for his excellent compass course on Sunday evening. Joan Rigby Black Mountain Octobecjl Because of heavy rainfall in the A.C.T. the previous day, it was not possible to do the planned walk near the Cotter River, The eight of us who turned up at the meeting point (where was everybody else?) went to Black Mountain for a pleasant stroll0 The features of the walk were the wildflowers and the view of the flood-affected landscape from the lookout at the top.

All who fought, and all who cheered as they enlisted, as those young men marched away.’ (p 176) This novel is a moving story of a young woman’s survival in the aftermath of World War One. Flinty (Felicity) McAlpine is thirteen when her two brothers set off to war, and sixteen in 1919 when only one of them returns: the eldest Andy has been emotionally damaged and Jeff dies on the front. Her mother suffers a heart attack when she hears the news, and then her dad succumbs to influenza the following year, leaving Flinty to look after young Joey and Kirsty. Their small farm in the high country of the Snowy River mountain ranges barely brings in enough to support them. Her other sadness is that her neighbour and friend Sandy whom she had hoped would become her partner, has also come back damaged and barely speaks to her. Why won’t any of these men tell her what happened in the war? And how is she going to keep this family together? Flinty is not easily discouraged, so when she hears of a prize-winning brumby muster she sets off bravely, despite the fact that the men participating regard this young ‘boy’ as being too ‘green’ to enter.

Reasonably good verse on the subject has been supplied in sufficient quantity. But the maker of folksongs for our newborn nation requires a somewhat rare combination of gifts and experiences. Dowered with the poet's heart, he must yet have passed his ‘wander-jaehre’ amid the stern solitude of the Austral waste — must have ridden the race in the back-block township, guided the reckless stock-horse adown the mountain spur, and followed the night- long moving, spectral-seeming herd ‘in the droving days’.
