TH.E WIDEN'ING G A P

In the tradition of crusading editorials "IT" is once again given over to a big, big issue on. its fighting front page. .. .',

Recently, due to an alarming cbnfluence of unfortunate circumstances, onewas left behind on an early (5.20 a.m2) Saturday start to a weekend walk. (Aside - if it was bloody well necessai'y to leave Canberra that early, a Friday night start wasthe only reasonable way:'to organise the trip.) Consequently one made an eleventh hour bid to join the Sunday walk for that weekend. Through the good offices of the leader this was arranged. After a tearaway.start'at 9,.20 a.m. on the Sunday and other minor misadventures the convoy reached its destination. Three quarters of an hour and one mile later and we had walked to our objective. In the course of the day one realised that three parts of the company were quite urrfEimiliar. Shock of realization - a quite different setof individuals attend day walks. Or is this an isolated sampling of daywalkers? Or are the weekend walks that one has att4nded unreprésenitative? Rough mental check - less than one chance in a hundred that this should be so. Number of instances in the check. Quite a few. Highly reliable probability.. A quiet word with the leader of the day walk reveals that in his estimation this particular walk was typical: about 4Q of the party were newcomers the rest being regular daywalkers. Daytrippers?

. Theconversation was taken up by other people and some incisive observations were mid&. "Daytrippers are more interesting people because they have so many tteresting discussions." "Well since they only go a few yards, what else can they do? Stare at each other?".

The dialogue went on. An intense young daywalker felt that the"weekenders" were very physical, even masochistic, and did not relate. Anyway there is at least one weekend walker of breeding and good manners. And safe footwear?

2/ - 2 - IT JUNE 197

About two o'clock. "Let's all go back to a coffee shop and have another discussion. Daywalkers are people with a purpose. We're not drongos who spend all weekend thrashing around out in the bush."

"Last week we climbed Mt ...... 25 minutes of pure hell. Glad to get back to the shop though. They sell ice-cream and paddle-pops..." The speaker halted, having snagged her sock on a blackberry bush. "Damn."

"Don't worry, it's only your sock. i'll help you."

"It's not the bloody sock I'miworried about. I'm wearing new pantyhose."

"And.what's more," someone continued, "on day trips there are always so many new faces. On weekend trips, f rpm what'I've heard, mainly blokes turn up, and there are not often mahy new people." At this point, conversation lapsed as the party concentrated on picking its way through the visiting cards, of some local stock.

.6 One was troubled after these things had passed. Are there two factions relentlessly forming. Out of touch with one another. Consolidating. Are there more than two? Perhaps if weekend walks were programmed on which it was obligatory to carry stringies, wear pantyhose and have a programme of interesting discussions to be conducted in every alternate hour, we might narrow the gap. And if day walks were physical and dour countenances were compulsory and if they went into the bush. Reconciliation is possible if people want it. Let's try.

L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sir, -

I was somewhat dismayed to rçad in IT for -April1971 under the heading "Important Notice", that you were advertising for back issues of-IT for 1.962-Sep 1965, plus a few later issues. As it happens I was the first editor of IT, and have good reason to remember that IT all began late in1965, as a completely new venture. In other words the aforesaid missing numbers are not only missing, but are, and always have been, non-existent. This H blunder, seems to be adding inult to a former "injury", as when the volume numbering of IT was-begun, the first years of issue 1965-68 were ignored, and IT was numbered as from 1969 Vol. 1 No.1. . You Will have to forgive me for feeling somewhat heated on the subjEct, but IT was 9 ina sense, my baby. I gave IT birth, named IT and nurtured IT through IT's first two years.. ... or infancy. Yours etc.

Alice Lèy

Pleàthd refer to the masthead, Alice. Your point is taken. Ed

NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO A M E N D CONSTITUTION

Many members are dissatisfied with the title of this publication, It is felt that "IT" does not convey 4ufficient character or individuality "IT" could meananything. Consequently the, following names have been suggsted: "Corroboree",

- 3 - IT JUNE 1971

"Around the Gunyah", "Bush Talker", "Casuarina Chunderer", "Mountain Yodeller",. The proposal notified does not specify any particular name, but will delete reference to "IT" in the constitution, thus leaving the choice of the name in the hands of the general meeting of the Club.

"It is proposed that the title "IT" be deleted wherever it appears, in the Club constitution and the magazine be cited instead by the words 'the Club magazine.' "

"IT" INTELLIGENCE

There were earlier reports in this column of the incursion of a group of trail bilcers into the Kosciusko Park. Our analysts reveal that a longstanding threat to the Park had been overlooked in the earlier assessment. All over the mountains native vegetation in a harsh environment is subject

. to scarring and damage. Four wheel drive vehicles are particularly hard on the vegetation. The Kosciusko authorities have graphic photographs of a place where one 4 wheel drive vehicle drove across an untracked area and back again to the road. It's track is now a heavily eroded scar."

PR U F

Well daris herel am. back again after a crippling bout of writer's crarp, myopia and infected eardrums all gained as the result of my efforts to penetrate the vast wall of silence surrounding inter-personal relations (or lack thereof) twixt club members.

Crunch S-----4 X ------X ------Believe Craig's passengers, other car driver, police and the peaceful citizens of Braidwood learned some new ways of expressing themselves as the aftermath of a prang on the Nerriga road.

Still on the subject of cars was he really Vrank a while ago when complaining that other people never €ook their cars on trips? What is that 1100 doing in the garage? The long and the short of the matter is who has Julie been seen with of late.? Whet a treasure. ReCt is now art mistress of the Mountain Huts.

Was that eventful trip up Hannels Spur supported by a gasbag full of hot Aaron the way? Phew Natia Jenny has been nursing a desire to change employment and has been seen living in a Curley Houe these days.

I always believed the club was a fertile breeding ground. Michael Hinchey is not proving me wrong.

COMLNG W A L K S

Sat-Sun, 26/27 June: A medium grade walk with an overnight camp on Woolla Creek at low elevation to beat thecold weather. (700 ft. above sea level). The walk starts from the junction of the Deua River and Woolla Creek and then goes up the Woolla Valley for about five miles, a very pretty semi-open 6/ - 6 - IT JUNE 1971

valley with easy track walking. On Sundaywe have a 2,000 foot climb up onto the divide between Woolla and Booma Creeks, with some good views from the top, before descending to I300ma Creek another pleasant creek valley with easy bank walking; the remainder of the walk is down the creek to the Deua, then about a mile downriver to the starting point.

Altogether about 13-14 miles with a 2000 foot ridge climb and descent - definitely medium.

C I V I L D E F E N C E PRACTICE

Onthe afternoon of Sunday, 20th June the A.C.T. Civil Defence Welfare Service will be holding a practice at the old Canberra High School in Acton. The aim of the practice is to test the Civil Defence planning and personnel in the reception and registration of evacuees. Any people interested in helping by acting as a mock evacuee would be most welcome. They should assemble behind the old Canberra High School building at 2.00 p.m. and bring with them one small item of luggage. The exercise will last about 2 hours.

A,..9, I O'Y..'E T'T REMUS'

Alan Moy is leaving Canberra. This is a severe blow to the exploratory and pioneering capacity of the Club. Who can forget the memorable May trips into the Shoalhaven,,Bungonia and Ettrema Gorges? 1 fear he will miss the rugged gorge country when he relocates in Darwin.

Alan's trip down the Shoalhaven earlier this year will probably take the cake as his 'piece de resistance'. With a party of six others he athieved, in the middle of a flash flood and with all manner of vicissitude overcome, a notable route for twenty miles dOWT'I the !iver. Other Club members will recall Alan's mastery of the principles of mechanical advantage and transference of forces which can come in handy when one's Renault is bogged up to the axles in the bad brown gunk.

Without misinterpreting Alan, I feel confident in saying that his favourite ground was the Ettrema area. With its watershed in a largely uncultivated area, the Creek is without the blemish of fertilizer run-off and stock fouling which is so usualin the open country around the A.C.T. A rarely visited stream, walkers often see sunbaking snakes and native marsupials beside its clear waters. If Alan can't find a gorge in the Northern Territory, he'll probably dig one himselft It is fitting that, in reconition of his activity with the club, Alan be awarded by acclamation the honorary title "Ettremus" (in abbreviation, "Etr." ), in the fashion of an earlier society.

Best wishes Alan, may you find another Ettrema * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS TO DRIVERS ON CL U B OUT - iWG At the last General Meeting, this matter was raised and. the me4ting requested that it should be brought up in the Club magazine.

In the last few years several;. rormulas have been derived for establishing reimbursement for drivers. The Club Treasurer has submitted a detailed exposition (with examples and answers) of the last such formula publicised in "IT". Many people will consider that this method is not the fairest possible of working out transport costs. Accordingly, it is suggested that alternatives should be provided for publication in the June issue of "IT" so that the July General Meeting can consider the various suggested formulas and choose the one which it feels to be the most suitable. 7/ 7 - IT JUNE 1971

It should be emphasised that it is C1uL policy that the choice of a method for calculating transport costs is at the discretion of trip leaders and a formula is merely recommended to leaders.

Members,mayor may not have comments, suggestions or complaints about the ethics, equity and reasonableness of the present mode of transport arrangements for Club trips which they any care to air in these columns.

HOJDES IAN METHOD

The Club relies on its members to provide transport. The present system of repayment to drivera is: the cost of transport is shared equally among the party and is calculated by the leader. Each driver is paid approximately twice the cost of petrol his car has consumed on the trip. The tOtal cost for all cars is divided equally among all party members except drivers. ,

NOTE I : large cars 1800cc and over are assumed to average 20 miles per gallon, e.g. Holden, Falcon, Landrover, Crown. .1 NOTE 2:;: small cars under 1800cc are assumed to average 30 miles per gallon, e.g. Volkswagen, Datsun 1600, Renault, Morris 1500

NOTE 3 : distance travelled is assumed to be the return trip from some point in Canberra usually the meeting point.

NOTE 4 : present cost of petrol is SOc per gallon.

The formula is therefore cost per car = total distance travelled x cost of petrol per gallon. miles per gallon

passengers contribution= total cost for all cars total number of passengers

(AN1PLE: 18 persons in 4 cars go on a trip to the Budawangs. The meeting place is at the Canberra Airport and the cars are left 10 miles south of Sassafras. The cars are

1 Volkswagen I Driver 2 P.assengers 2, Morris Nomad 1 Driver 3 Passengers 3. Holden Sedan I Driver 4 Passengers 4. Nissan Patrol I Uriwer S Passengers The mileage from the Airport to the destination is 109 miles.

We have to find out hOWTrkuch each driver is to be paid and how much each passenger should pay.

1. The amount to be paid each driver is then calculated Cars 1 and 2 are small cars, 3 and 4are large cars. Cost per small car = 218 miles x SOc per gallon x 2 . 30m.p.g = appro. $7.30 for cars 1 & 2

Cost per large car = 218_miles x SOc per gallon x 2 20 m.p.g.

= approx $10.90 for cars 3 & 4

8/ -8-- IT JUNE 1971

2. The amount to be paid by each passenger is then calculated Total cost for trip is $7.30 + $7.30 + $10.90 = $36.40 Cost per passenger = $36.40 14 Passengers

$2.60 per passenger.

Notes for passengers: take small denomfnatiori notes and coins on trips to avoid the leader being left with many $20.00 notes and no change.

Notes for leaders a, costs are reduced by cramming as many people and gear into as few cars as possible.

if the cost of a trip is likely to be unusually expensive give some indication of likely cost to members before the trip.

take some paper and pencils in the car to assist in these complicated calculations.

any profits are gratefully accepted by the Treasurer's Benevolent Society, many members of which are now overseas.

Adrian Hobbs Treasurer.

G E T A S T I C K A N D K I L L "IT"

Despite the editor's faults bringing the above point to notice was not one of them. Judging from the lack of discussion on the title, one must conclude that there is no rational basis for "its" selection. In my humble opinion the present title leaves a lot to be desired.

Well, what are we going to call it? How about "Monaro Rambler", "Corroboree Leap", "Amphibious Corroboree", or something a little lighter, "His, Hers and Its", or perhaps '!Prue's Diary". If anyone is concerned about the bureaucracy involved in changing the constitution then pull in the stomach and use the letters of the present title to form another - (example - "Itinerant Tramper").

At the July meeting I intend to move the following foreshadowed motion:

the monthly newsletter's name be changed to "Nonaro Rambler"."

If you don't like this title (Monaro is getting a little overdone these days, then rise to your feet and move an amendment to your own choice, but for Prue's sake let's get a decent name for the bluddy thing.

L?_L P REPORTS

Kybean - Brogo April 2/3/4

The Brogo is an eastward flowing river and is the major tributary of the Begab The Kyhean range and Wadbilliga Peak, east of Cooma, form a natural amphitheatre in which the Brogo rises

The small party, oonc,stng of John Holtzapffel, Stephen Gisz and myself, after spending a foggy night somewhere south of Countegany, started walking from the Turoos River, The intention was to ascend Kydra peak and then follow a prominent ridge down to the Brogo. However, due to minor disorientation and pccr maps, we ascended the Kybean range a couple of miles north of Kydra. This meant that most of Saturday morning was spent • walking along the casuarina heata covered range instead of taking the most direct roUte to the peako'

4 We eventually reached the foot Of Kydra at about 1.30 p.m. but decided that we would not have enough time to chub it. After having having had lunch at the top of our chosen ridge with magnificent views of orange and grey cliffs and virgin fo est, we started the long, 3000 foot, descent to the river. This descent took about 3 hours, avoiding numerous snakes cliffs and similar hazards on the ijav, we eventually burst out of the scrub onto the beautifully clean, boulder strewn river.

The water was faintly green-blue in colour and was icy cold. J,hn Holtz and Steve then cast .rave doubts on their sanity by immersing themselves in it. (or in Steve's case.; 'further grave doubts"..) I remained sceptically dirty, but warm.

We then proceeded upstream, where the river flowa over beautiful pink granite, and-camped on the only. available, space seen, (20 sq feet of sand and river gravel).

The nextday was particularly remarkable as vie were actually walking by 8.30.a.,m., despite the Oisr Tardiness.Factors, (henceforth Imown as G.T.F.). The next fivéhburs' were spent walking up (and usually in) the Brogo. The river 'wound.thrbugh shall gorges and was dften flanked by cliffs. Casuarina trees, rain-forest and hugo tree ferns lined the river banks.

The ascent--out of the Broo was accomplished, in double time up a short'and very direct - ridge, which opened onto a track a short distance south- east• of Wadbilhiga We followed this track back to the -car which we reached at 6.30. just as dloud,s' of log and darkness enveloped, the area.

.10/ - 10 RON JUNE 1971

In the afternoon we climbed Quilty's Mountain where Jo and Carol became so enthusiastic about the Borak Ground (thousands of 3-5 lb. rocks scattered in certain definable patterns) that we left them behind. The rest of the party continued on and climbed to Endrick Trig where to enable the accurate surveying of the new National Park boundary a large number of trees had been cut down. Continuing on, three persons abseiled off one of the cliffs, and the remainder followed the leader down Binnari Pass. A difficult one to find this, andually difficult to negotiate but we did it. We got back to camp in time for an early tea. A very pleasant time was spent around a huge campfire built by the Clubs pyromaniac and stoked and stirred by various helpersU through the night.

Next morning there was a howling and cold wind from the west and we set off for Hidden Valley and Sturgiss Mountain. The valley was beautiful and a quick look located the Dark Brother's Cave where much scratching in the dust located plenty of sore fingers, We then scaled Sturgiss. Ah interesting climb especially in a freezing gale. Once on top however the walking was easier and you quickly got the nack of leaning 30 to Starboard into the wind.

'I, The Borah Ground here was located duly plotted and then lunch eaten. The descent began but stopped quickly when the route was lost. Mny heated words were exchanged about being stuck in this freezing eyrie but Peter found the chain and so we descended again. A long walk back to the cars and thence to Nerriga where the pause that refreshes was enjoyed.

Survival and soft drink or, Have you checked your equipment lately? (n expedition in 1834.

"I left behind me all Bills or Exchange, Courts, Summonses, Attorneys, Iditorsof Newnpapers, Gaols and such 111cc, and exulted in the feeling, that abandoning all these delights of ultra-civilized society, I shouId once again enjoy for some time, a freedom nearly approaching the state of nature."

So wrote the Polish naturalist John Lhotsky when he set out in January 1834 on an expOdition to the southern alps of . Between him and the state or nature were such esoteric items as 10,000 insect needles, nets and forceps, hammers and chisels, anatomical instruments and telescopes. Tea, coffee and pounded almonds 1 needles, threads, wax and twine might still be found in a traveller's pack. But the sulphuric acid with sugar to make lemonade is now unusual •on even a gourmet trip.

Lhotsky reached the Limestone Plains, by which name Canberra was then known, on 29th January. He stayed six days with the Superintendent of Robert Campbell's Duntroon estate, in a "clean, romantic little house, overhung with vines, the last with window panes and such like comforts, as it were at the end of the world," The Limestone Plains were indeed at the accepted limits of the colony, beyond which there ias at Michelage "a sly grog shop" and the last white female, and to the south a few outstations and shepherd's huts scattered over the Monaro plains to Cooma.

On 31st January Lhotsk recorded with a thermometer which may have been extravagant a temperature of 129 at 3 p.m. He found his "lemonade" of "sulphuric' acid, with much water and well sweetened,.was the only thing which in any degree kept down, the boiling quality of the bloodo" On the following day he felt as cold as he had felt hoti with the temperature 62 .at8.00 h,m.

This writer, while interested to have any recent reports on the efficacy of Lhotsky's lemonade, ;vill'take no responsibility for encouraging its consumption.
