Box 160, Canberra, A.C.T. 2601. ft Reqistered by Australia Post; Publication Number N8H less Volume 23 iune 1986 Number 6 Presiàent's PattIo The colder weather clearly has not deterred Club walkers, On the weekend of May 214-25th there were fourty four people out on Club walks Twenty and seventeen on David Truman's and Keith Vallard's day walks and seven on Keith Thomas's long rough weekend walk. That is a very respectable proportion of the Club out on a weekend. Because of the large number of people who have been coming on day trips for many months we need more people who are prepared to lead day walks, If you are concerned about lack of experience in navigation, do not worry, there are many day walks which require virtually no navigational experience. Our Walk Secretary, Bob Harrison, members of the committee and regular day walk leaders will be only too happy to advise you on walks appropriate for your level of experience. The best way to learn to navigate is to start by leading easy trips - either day or weekend. Orienteering is another way to sharpen your navigational skills. With the ski season about to start the Club is organising ski trips for both beginners and the more experienced. However, we will still maintain a full walk programme right throughout winter, Winter is a superb time to go walking around Canberra with brilliant warm clear days. Bene Pavies ARIN June's Monthlj Meeting - Skiing Overseas In the northern winter of 1985 several of our members headed• off for some exciting skiing in snow country far different from ours, Pat Miethke went to Japan's northern island Hokkaido, and used the city of fisahigawa in the centre of the island as the starting point for a week in each of three different areas , One, Furano, was a downhill resort the other two were lodges in the wilderness (by Japanese standards). The steep terrain necessitated a style of skiing not known in Australia: half days spent skiing upwards in order to ski down for hours. Scenery of steep mountains, volcanoes and pinetrees heavily clad in snow provided a stark contrast to our rolling hills and dwarfed snow gums. 2 Peter Conroy, Linda Groom and their daughter Kate in the meantime were skiing in Switzerland and Norway. Each of these countries is different again. We all picture Switzerland as having spectacular scenery. The family found interesting and easy skiing amongst this mountainous -terrain. Norway is, comparatively low lying - the highest point, Galdhoepiggen, is only E500 metres above sea level. Nowhere, though, is flat. The hgh1ight of the family's trip was time spent touring the craggy and remote wilderness of the Jotunheimen National Park1 The two slide shows should provide a diverse and beautiful variety of skiing scene to enthuse all clubmenbers - skiers or otherwise. Sneak Preview - Jul'5 Monthljj Meeting - A Gear Auction Sort out your cupboards, empty out those boxes . here is your chance to sell off your underrutilised gear (and maybe replace it with someone else's). If the goods for auction do not tempt you maybe the selected fine wines and cheeses will, Kern-finn ibfto1rapic Babble Booklet Review ft field ride to arboreta in the ACT - '12 pages by Bruce Chapman and Anthony Varcoe Publisher: ACT Region Royal Australian Institute of Parks and Recreation, Canberra, December 198I4. This booklet ; gives brief details of the arboreta found in the ACT. Most entries follow a standard pattern as follows: - Wane of Arboretum Number - this refers to a number to be found on a centrally located map in the booklet Location/access - instructions on how to get to the arboretum from Canberra, Site characteristics - size of arboretum, slope, elevation, aspect, rainfall and preyious vegetation. History - Very brief, often only a sentence or two Site' features - brief notes about species growing in the arboretum. There is also - a map of the arboretum, showing numbered plots with short notes on which plots contain which species. There are also some photographs (none of which have reprod'uced well on the paper used in this publication), some introductory notes, suggested itineries and a bibliography. Though I consider the arboreta to be a collection of pests, I admit that this booklet is good in what it sets out to do - namely to provide as much information as possible about the arboreta while at the same time ensuring that it remain a manageable size. There are no excess words, all content is to the point (unlike some field guides I have seen). If you are infatuated with exotic tree species, especially conifers (which are the commonest group in the arboreta) and wish to see how they grow in various parts of the ACT, then this booklet is for you. Perhaps you are so exotically inclined that you will even agree with the authors when they write of the Stockyard Spur arboretum. 3 It provides a pleasant change to the landscape of the Namadgi National Park It offers potential as a "lunch spot" for bushwalkers, (If you do agree, then may God have mercy on your soul.) fis For me, if I get a copy of this field guide I shall place it next to that other useful reference book on my bookshelf - Noxious Weeds of Victoria, Memo Lepp Quote for June Mere is a message of hope from the High Priest of sunshine and warm water to his disciples, as depression and the cold, dark misery of winter descend upon them. The trumpet of a prophecy ! 0 Wind, If Winter comes, can SPRING be far behind. Ode to the West Wind - Percy Bysshe Shelley Across Australia Hi, would you like to get away from it all for three months? Queanbeyan photographer-writer Edward Stokes is looking for a co-driver to join him in retracing McDouall Stuart's expeditions later this year (for, a book). Ed knows the outback well fifter years roaming round Broken Hill he spent three months in 196'! retracing Sturt's expedition from the Darling River to the Simpson Desert - also for a book. In 1965, he was in the centre again, retracing Lasseter's searches near the Gibson Desert. From late July to October this year he is following Stuart's transcontinental journeys, from fidelaide to Darwin. Would you like to join the trip as co-driver? If so, write with personal details to Ed at PU Box 110'!, Queanbeyan. NSW, eeeo. The Club Library The Canberra Bushwalking Club library is now held at 9 Barney Street, Downer, and will be open from 6pm until 7.115pm on the night of the Club meeting. For access at other times contact the librarian, Keith Thomas, on 5C72'11(W) or 47817501). Books, and magazines and newsletters from bushwalking clubs and other organizations are held in the library. These may be a valuable source of ideas for walking trips, ft list of the books held in the library was included in a recent issue of IT. ft list of periodicals will be printed in the near future. Because it is intended to recatalogue the books in the library, would people with any Club library books or magazines please return them at the next Club meeting or, if this is not possible, contact me and I will collect them, Keith Thomas Twenty Years Ago Over countless years of rotting leaves, in scrubland dense and dark, With power and ease the dozer heaves and leaves its fatal mask, find who can say that it's ok, what reason guides its fate, The cost is not the price we pay, well find this out too late. ri Well do just what we said we'd do, Our promise we will keep, If being wrong is no concern, would they lose an ounce of sleep, And if they found out that they were, would they just pass the buck, And say it was a good idea, the result was just bad luck. There's no use sitting on the fence, not taking either side, There's no neutral ground to stand on, when the pressure is applied, Two hundred million years of life, and what now do we find, Just countless years of ignorance, and money rules the mind. You can say it does not matter, if the road goes through or not, You can say it's not important and it's just a lot of rot, But in the years to come, 8 children ask, why so much had to go, Just tell them you were not concerned, back TWENTY YE/iRS AGO.

  • Road Rides TUMUT DISTRICT ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    Road Rides TUMUT DISTRICT ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… LACMALAC LOOP 27KM All cycling routes described on this sheet start at the ………………………………………………………. corner of Wynyard Street & Fitzroy Street in Tumut A very popular circuit which takes in the scenic flats of both Tumut & Goobarragandra Rivers. Head south out of Tumut along Fitzroy St, (Snowy Mountains H’way) turning left onto Tumut Plains Rd. Soon after crossing the historic truss bridge at ‘The Junction’, turn left onto Little River Rd & follow it to the low-level bridge crossing over Goobarragandra River, where Kells Lane commences. The gently rising Kells Lane shortly brings you to a T-intersection with Lacmalac Rd. Turn left at tree in middle of road & follow Lacmalac Rd back to Tumut. There a few minor rises along this undulating section, but nothing too demanding. Nearing Tumut, at the concrete section of road surface, a left turn leads across the old town bridge (cyclists /pedestrians), while a right turn enters town by way of Wee Jasper Rd & the ‘Pioneer Bridge’. Riding this route in the suggested anti-clockwise direction is a little easier as it negates a short, steep EASY climb at the eastern end of Little River Rd. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ... GOOBRA - ROCK FLAT 56KM ………………………………………………………. Picturesque medium grade ride on a quiet rural road up Goobarragandra valley, turning around at Rock Flat Picnic Area. Depart Tumut via Wee Jasper Rd and turn right to Lacmalac soon after crossing the ‘Pioneer Bridge’. Proceed along full length of Lacmalac Rd, passing the Lacmalac Memorial Hall & Argalong Rd on your left. Continuing on straight ahead the road becomes more ‘up and down’ until levelling out as it skirts close to the bank of Goobarragandra River.
