JUNE GENERAL MEETING 8pm Wednesday 21

A detective story: authenticating natural history watercolours from the First Fleet Speaker: Linda Groom, Curator of Pictures, National Library of Australia, and CBC member since the 1970s Late last year the National Library purchased 56 unsigned and undated watercolours of birds and plants from the First Fleet period. In addition to their appeal as beatiful works of art, these paintings are significant as a visual survey of what was flying around, or flowering in, Port Jackson in 1789. They include over 20 paintings which are the first European representations of Australian plant species. In this illustrated talk, Linda explains the process of authenticating these works, a detective story that involved art history, biology and even a little bit of bushwalking.

That said, there were one or two sprightly young things in their forties who fronted up as well for their first experience of this jewel of eastern Australian bushwalking. Terence had convinced most of the party of the desirability of packing light at the previous Club meeting. Many were sporting “toy packs” of 10 kg or less, the lightest being only 7 kg. Despite this, it was surprising what goodies people managed to pull out to share – squashed fly biscuits, Tim Tams, dips, fruit jellies, Ginger Bears (the latest rage) and, the pièce de résistance from the leaders, panforte (Siena cake) with Cointreau. But I’m ahead of myself; we had some walking to do before we got into the food. Keith did a great job of leading us out to Pardon Point from Quiera Clearing, taking us on a relatively scrub-free route across the shallow gully at the top of Myall Creek to follow a series of rock leads to Transportation Spur – much better than tackling the scrub on the top of the ridgeline. We fortified ourselves with morning tea while gazing down cliff-rimmed Ettrema Gorge and at Hamlet Crown directly opposite before negotiating over

Many pairs of ageing knees were glad that their owners had brought a walking pole to lighten the load. Time for lunch – but where was the usual swimming hole? We sat in the shade of a cliff as we ate and decided to pass on the shrunken scum-rimmed pool at the base of the spur. As we rock-hopped upstream over the mostly dry creek bed, we wondered if this was a foretaste of a warmer, dryer south eastern Australia. At last a large pool lay before us, and we were soon washing off the morning’s grime in its cool, deep, clear green waters. Arriving at the Jones Creek junction, we found that a party of three we had seen by the roadside second big pool and swam and lay good handholds, to the top.

s you drive to the coast, about A10 minutes before Braidwood on the right you will see in the distance the silhouette of a mountain with a double peak – that’s Mt Palerang, from which Palerang Shire, established in February 2004, takes its name and, as shown at the top of the picture at right, its logo. Most Club trips to Palerang in the past have been from the north west, but Gösta Lyngå has introduced a new approach from the south-west, going in from the Braidwood-Bombay end, which all 14 of us enjoyed 13 May. Our group is pictured on the first of the two peaks, with the second and higher peak in the background. After lunch at the top (from which the whole shire can be seen), we made our way down the other side to the Mulloon Fire Trail. Thanks Gösta! DurrasDurras weekendweekend (19)(19) 20-2120-21 MayMay

ichael Gorgoewski and Sue M Jellis (right) displayed the wet weather fashions of every good bushwalker at the top of Mt Durras on 20 May, but their umbrellas were only needed for five minutes. After arriving at the Depot Beach cabins on Friday night, our group of 19 set out early Saturday morning on the ascent of Durras through the rainforest from the SW – not the usual Pebbly Beach-Pretty Beach route. Reaching the top before midday, we headed back downhill for lunch on the headland, and were back at the cabins by mid afternoon. On Sunday we headed north Little Forest Plateau with magnificant views west to the Budawangs, and south to Pigeon House. It was another Stan Marks classic – thanks Stan!

1. Food energy values are based on an average for a range of brands/varieties for each food type. 2. Choose muesli with high nut/seed/coconut content for maximum kilojoules. 3. Use full cream milk in preference to skim milk for maximum kilojoules. 4. Home dried fruit (eg strawberries, rockmelon, bananas, pawpaw, rhubarb, plums), dehydrated to brittle chips. 5. Choose a mix with a high proportion of nuts for maximum kilojoules. 6. Vita Weet is the most energy dense readily available brand of crispbread. 7. If your preferred topping has a lower energy value than peanut butter, the serving size will need to be increased if the daily energy intake target is to be maintained. Other toppings used by bushwalkers include salami (1770kJ/ 100g); cheese (1670); honey (1250); jam (1040); tuna in oil (870); vegemite (500); and tuna in brine (480). The most energy dense readily available topping is macadamia nut paste (2800kJ/100g) 8. Day Dawn is the lightest readily available brand of muesli bar. 9. Use strongly flavoured fruit (eg crystallised ginger) as part of mix to maximise satisfaction with small serving. 10. Either home pre-cooked and dried (eg chicken, lamb, beef mince) or from Asian Grocery (eg shrimp, mussels). 11. Either home pre-cooked and dried (eg broccoli, capsicum, corn) or from Supermarket (eg peas, beans, carrots) or Asian Grocery (eg mushrooms, red dates) or Lebanese Grocery (eg okra). 12. Either home pre-cooked and dried (eg brown rice, basmati rice, barley, millet) or from Supermarket (eg 3-min pasta, Cockatoos at Little Forest Plateau on Sunday 21 May. 2-min noodles, instant couscous, instant polenta).
