Many of you may wonder hy someone my age (25) was willing to become President. Firstly I came to know oft e Friends in 1991 when one ofmy fathers work mates suggested we join an organisation called the riends of the Heysen Trail. In June 1992 1 attended the inaugural HahndorfEarly Settlers lk and met a gentleman by the name ofNeville Southgate who was trying (rather unsuccessful y) to find volunteers to work in the newly opened Friends office in Pitt Street. I decided to volunt er my time and since then I have been: - an office volunteer - membership secretary - publicity committee me - trail walker editor -voluntary administrative - walk leader -trail maintenance and~ ening volunteer - council member - vice president and finall president. Over these years I have se n many changes; people have come and gone, the Heysen Trail was completed and the role of he Friends has changed. But, one thing that will never change is my loyalty to the Friends. Ifl idn't believe in what the friends were doing I would have left years ago. I believe this is also the ca e with many other members, both those here tonight and those unable to make it who are passionat about the role of the Friends. As you can see from that ·efrecollection of my time with the Friends I have taken on many voluntary duties as have t se before me and hopefully those in the future also. Without volunteers the He sen Trail would not have been completed ahead of schedule (or completed at all), the offi would be closed and the excellent walks we put on would have remained the pleasure of handful of walkers. As you may have now real sed the role of volunteers is important to the continuing success of the Friends, and that is why w are always very keen to have new volunteers take on duties with the Friends. 1997 will be remembered s a good year for the Friends. 1/. The maintenance the Heysen Trail has continued despite having no Government funding for maintenance or a Proj t Officer. My personal thanks go out to each Section Leader and all those volunteers who wer able to assist during the year. 2/. The walk committ e and the walk leaders are to be commended on an excellent years walk programme. All the walk were well attended and all the walk leaders were praised on the quality of their walks. The 1998 alk programme looks as if it will also be a success. 3 . •• •• • •• •• •• •• •• • • 3/. All members ofthe Council are to be congratulated on a job w 11 done. This handful of people have helped to ensure that the Friends have run as smoothly as ossible. I thank our outgoing Council Members: Barbara Blacoe and Arthur Smith. 4/. I would like to thank the volunteers who have staffed the Frie s office. Your professionalism and dedication to duty is appreciated by all members fthe Friends. While on the subject of the office I would like to welcome the followi g new volunteers: John Crouch will be in Mondays David Beaton will be in Tuesdays Jack Marcelis will be in Wednesdays We still need an extra person to help out on Monday and Friday. 51. I would also like to say that the friends have now proven we c stand on our own two feet without Government assistance. In 1997 we almost broke even for th year even though we spent $5000 of accumulated funds on the repair ofEngelbrook bridge. This is now the second year running that the Friends have recorded an operating surplus. Our Treasurer John Wilson will shortly present his 1997 financial rep rt. The information for this report was prepared thro~ghout the year by our bookkeeper Kath Paly a. 6/. During 1997 and the beginning of 1998 the Friends have been sing donations received for trail projects. The first donation of S 1000 from Rossi Boots which is being used to r store Rossi's Hut at Pewsey Vale by Doug Leane and his team. The second donation of $700 from the Burra Lions Club will be used r a toilet and shelter near Burra. The third donation of$200 from the GeoffHunkin memorial fund wil be used toward installing a water tank and shelter on the Southern Side of Mount Arden. The fourth donation of$1100 from the GeoffHunkin memorial fund ·II be used toward installing signage at the Hahndorf and Bridgewater ends of the Heysen Spur Tra . The remainder of this money will be used toward other Trail projects. We thank Geoffs family for these generous donations. Finally I would be remiss without thanking each and every member of he Friends. Without your continuing support we would cease to function. I also take great pleasure in informing you all that the discount Movie ickets will once again be offered in the May Trailwalker and that the number of businesses offe ·ng discounts to you the members has now increased to 12 with Mitchells Disposals at Marion hopping Centre being the latest addition. I have always been told never to thank any one person in particular as thers will feel left out. But, I feel that I must say thankyou to Neville Southgate for without him I ould never have started working in the Friends office and the skills I have picked up over they ars have helped me in gaining employment and in my every day life. Thankyou Neville. Richard Schmitz PRESIDENT 27.3.1998 tt . •• •• •• •• •• ··7k7~w~·· •• • • PRESIDENTS REPORT (cont.)

In discussion a program i a came forward to do a walk from the Adelaide coast to the top of Mount Lofty. A Sea to S it. Of course, wouldn't it be eat to have the original Sea to Summit man- Tim Macartney-Snape, who walked up the full 88 8 metres of Mount Everest from the coast of India. George Driscoll, the Man er of the Scout Outdoor Centre I Annapurna Outdoor shop was able to contact Tim's company- S a to Summit, makers of walking and travel clothing. This brand is sold at the Annapurna Outdoor Shop. Last October, Tim agreeq o come across and do the walk. Our Sea to Summit was on! Now, to set a route. George Driscoll looked at ots of options. One thought considered was to start at Glenelg, cheat a bit and go by tram to som here up the line to start. The final decision was to start at Seacliff and look to link reserves and p rks to the top. By driving around a rough oute was set. This needed to be tested. Colin Edwards and a group of Friends of the Heysen Trai set off with George on a big reeky. When a fence across Sturt Gorge was reached, flanked by d ep-water on one side and a steep cliff on the other we knew another track was needed! With assistance from a pa ing cyclist and a jogger, the route was determined. Another reeky walk the following week was se up, the times required and the final route. All was ready for the big day with Tim Macartney-Sna . RIENDS OF THE HEYSEN TRAIL PROUDLY SUPPORTED BY THE SCOUT OUTDOOR CENTRE •• • •• •• •• •• •• • • It all started with a telephone call to George Driscoll for some ent maintenance information. In the course of the conversation George said he was doi g a recce for the Sea to Summit Walk (the walk of the day to mark the opening of the Walkin season). He asked ifl would be interested in 'coming along' He thought it could be 'a bit long, but ot too bad'. The first try went like a bit good, a bit bad, lost and found, as lid 10 hour day. George, Rosalie, Marlene and I certainly knew we had walked the full 28kms t the end of the day. Our second try went really well. Marlene, George and I were accompanie by Sadie Leopold, Jill McPherson, Ron Kay, Jack Marcelis, and Terry Gasson. At the end of he recce George asked ifl would like to lead the Sea to Summit on the day. My good nature and ind heartedness got the better of me. I thought, 'I can't let this poor 'old' f ellow do it three tim s! On April 15th, at ?am, we met Tim Maccartney-Snape at Seac iff. After the ritual dipping of the feet in the sea, now established as customary practice for 'Sea to S mit Walkers', we set off It was early in the momin& none of us realised it was going to be a fine, mild day, and perfect for walking. The walkers were from a variety of bushwalking groups in A elaide (Friends of the Heysen Trail, Pathfinders, Adelaide Bushwalkers, etc). Tim and I led e 'A' team of23 walkers, and James Guy and Jill McPherson led the 'B' team of20 people. The walk route to Belair National Park, well-planned by Geor , moved through parks and along a few streets to reach Darlington, then behind the Flinders Univ rsity, through the Sturt Gorge, and on to Coromandel Parade, via parks, the Tom Roberts Tra· , and the railway track. We passed more parks before reaching Pine Oval, Belair National Park, 1 kms from Seacliff We were all fit and well, and barely in front of the 'B' team. George's wife Elfie rovided back-up support, with refreshments at set points on the way to Belair, and the option of lift where necessary. After Tim officially opened the walking season it was on agai to the top. Through Echo Tunnel we went, past the waterfalls that had not seen water for some t me, and on to the Lodge. From the park we moved to the road for a short time. We found our w y to No. 82, Sheoak Road, where we had arranged with the kind house owner to walk up his driv to a fire track at the rear of the property. George provided walkers with refreshments further on, b t the 'A' team had moved away from the highway when he arrived, and we could not be located n the bush. The 12 kms from Pine Oval covered many parks, a few roads and footpaths, and include the Heysen Trail nearer the top. On reaching the Mt Lofty YHA, both groups assembled as one n order to make the final assault together. Marlene, Terry, Francis, George and Phil were there t meet us at the top. A large white banner, with words Sea to Summit in blue, had been strung aro d the obelisk, as a fitting backdrop for photos, and a well-earned breather. George had drinks or anised for everyone at a spot further down the road, near the bus that was booked to take all the wal ers back to the sea. In addition he provided another treat for us. We were all given a white te shirt with the words 'J walked the Sea to Summit with Tim Maccartney-Snape 1998' printed i blue across the back. We all had fun while Tim autographed all shirts, some wanting his na eon the back, some on sleeves, some happy with ' Tim' and others wanting the surname added Then we presented Tim with a tee shirt and we all signed our names on the back. •• • •• •• •• •• •• • • A great day was by all! Thanks George for a well thought out route, and a great idea to mark the start of the Colin Edwards SEA TO SUMMITEERS Pictured are walkers Seacliff about to set off on the Sea to Summit adventure and at the obelisk havin completed the walk with Tim Macartney-Snape sponsored by the Annapurna 0 r Shop as part of the opening of the 1998 Walking Season. •• •• • •• •• •• •• •• • • We have all done it! Read the Trailwalker and Pathfinder programs and picked out a walk that seems suitable. Rang the Office and booked. The only requirement the is to know where to meet and to be there on time. Everything else will take care of itself A scena ·owe would all recognise and being perfectly honest, would have been involved with. Then on the day of the walk the leader does a number of things, all of interesting and valuable. The leader tells us where the walk will be, the ifficulties we might encounter and what time we should be back. These are task-oriented co cems to which the leader will always focus on to some degree. Depending on the relative importance ofthe leaders concerns (for tasks for groups, for conditions) a pattern can be identified at the commencement of each walk. After pe pie have been asked to enter their names on the respective leaders list, and asked to introduce emselves to the group, the leader will provide some guide-lines to the walkers .. The leader might phasise the importance of interacting with others, for the enjoyment of the walk. So one might he the leader saying 'take time to talk to the person next to you', 'please attempt to talk to everyon on the walk', and 'enjoy your day'. Another leader might be heard to say 'its not a race', 'its not competition', 'we're not in a hurry to get from A to B'. In this way the leader indicates the way he she would like the group to operate and it has less to do with proving one's physical prowness an competing against others to be first past the post, and more to do with the sociability and gaining e benefits available from enjoying a day in the bush with friends. In these preliminary talks the leader might indicate his preference to 'le d from the front', from 'the back' or 'the middle'. The leader may appoint a 'tail end Charlie', to use e terminology of the walkers. Walkers might be asked 'do not get in front of the leader', and o not leave the group without telling someone'. Some mention will usually be made about ha usually after an hour of walking. This indicates the leaders concern for e welfare of the group. The leader might ask walkers to inform of any disabilities or injuries th y have prior to, or during the walk. This can be done discreetly and treated as confidential. The le der is obliged to speak of these matters because of the ramifications foe all who are participating n the activity. Walkers will be asked by their leader whether they have sufficient wate , and some mention might be made about adequate wet weather gear and footwear, this underscor the scout motto Be Prepared!. These concerns are of paramount importance to some leader and walkers who have not been adequately prepared have been advised to come better prepared ne time, if not discouraged to continued. The leader with a prime concern for environmental conditions might i nn walkers 'we take out everything we take in' and 'don't litter'. Often one has heard people sayi to each other 'do banana skins disintegrate? and 'can I throw away this apple core?'. In this way ey indicate a heightened awareness toward the environment and a pressing need they feel toward protecting the land. Notions of the day being enhanced because 'the heath is out' might also rovide insight to the leaders concern for conditions, as would comments like don't pick the fl wers'. A leader with special concern for the environment might avoid 'bush bashing', preferri g to keep large groups on marked paths rather than allowing them to trample through thick growt and damage foliage. Gates are to be left as you find them, dogs left at home and the Heysen Trail u ed only during the official \0. •• • •• •• •• •• ·-7~7~w~·· •• • • walking season. These und rstandings have the status of official rules and government regulations, and are portrayed regularly and openly. We have all heard mention of the above stated comments in our scenario and can possibly think of many more. But have we r ally stopped to consider, in depth, the relevance of these ideas and concerns in terms of walke s responsibilities? These are varied and related to people, conditions, and issues. They relate to r sponsibilities to ones leader, to co-walkers, to the environment and to property owners, whose ge erosity has often made possible the walkways we all enjoy together on our days and weekends out in the bush. It seems to me there is mu that has been said about the responsibilities of leaders (see Priest 1989, and Bushwalking an Mountaincraft Leadership, 1994 ). These works and others serve to remind me how, in the lite ture on leadership, the responsibilities of walkers seems scant, or low key, at best. The 'Friends' h vein this regard printed a Guide-line for Walkers, which for some reason has not been freely romoted to walkers. I must admit I have never mentioned this leaflet to any groups I have led on a alk, nor distributed it to newcomers, or seen other leaders do the same. Yet, if we want to guide w kers along a set pathway we should, in the first instance, make this information more readily a ailable to them. Going back then, to my ear ier reference to the scenario we have all encountered at some time before commencement of ch walk, comments like don't leave the group without telling someone', etc. contain more than a co vivial message. The scenario contains a message for walkers about responsibilities they owe t their leader, to co-walkers, to the environment, and to landowners. So, walking is not only abo t the pursuit of individual interests, it is a group activity and like any other group activity where eople have responsibilities, so to do walkers. Now, these responsibilities are not hea ily endorsed through reference to rules and regulations. Nor are they explicitly linked with the ide-lines for Walkers leaflet. They are implicit understandings, which only really surface when s eone oversteps the mark and infringes upon what group members consider to be appropriate onduct. Then they are talked about openly for a while and then appear to be forgotten. There needs to be some wa of getting walkers to think about their responsibilities without appearing prescriptive and ighly moralistic when after all we are only out to enjoy walking. Perhaps I might be able to ontribute toward this by drawing on a number of incidents which I have observed over the years. Most of us will have been n a walk when someone has not been fit enough (healthwise) to either finish the walk, or do so co fortably, without a delay to others. When difficulties with breathing have occured (because of thrna, heart condition, being unfit or overweight), the leader has been transformed into a first aid orker, complete with kit and helpers. Sometimes the call has gone out for someone with nursing e perience and private transport sought to shuttle the injured or distressed person to medical facilities The walker was under some obligation to inform the leader of any physical or emotional prob ms because of the possible ramifications. However, on several occasions this responsibili has been totally overlooked. Where a walker has not been able to cope, other walkers have become upset. Their day has been spoilt by delays and the obvious stress on the group. Of course, I am not eluding those misfortunes through accident, which might happen to anyone at anytime and are uite beyond reckoning and cautionary comments. Accidents do happen! \ \ ~ •• •• • •• •• •• •• •• • • It is the leaders right to be made aware of such matters so that any pre utions can be taken, just as it is the walkers right to be informed of these expectations. To take another example, I am sure many of us can recall being on a lk where people have gone missing. They have moved out of sight of other walkers, perhaps beca se they have stopped to look at flowers or birds, take photos, or gone ahead to pursue an alternative athway. As a consequence, the walk had to be halted, the leader had to find the missing walker or alkers and attend to group safety. People were told to sit and wait, they got cold and grumpy and e day turned sour. Now consider the leaders plight! Similar outcomes have arisen when some people decided the walk w 'too slow', they found slow walking was 'frustrating and tiring'. They subsequently strode out in fr t of the leader. When this situation occurs, in combination with problems at the back of the grou (due to a walkers difficulty with coping) the potential is there for the group to fragment. The leade ship could be threatened, if not undermined totally, and tempers could flare between walkers and etween walkers and their leader. These few examples I hope will serve to reinforce the view that walke have responsibilities to their leader and co-walkers. Whilst these responsibilities might be imp icit they are none the Jess important to the smooth running of a walk. Walkers expect a certain st dard of operation fro~ their leaders and this has the authority of legality and possible litigatio about it. It has to do with the protection of the walkers welfare, and includes getting them safely ack after an enjoyable day in the bush. Why then should the leader and co-walkers not have recip ocal arrangements so as to facilitate everyones enjoyment? This then brings us to the issue of making the appropriate choice of w t group to walk with, and points to another area of concern with responsibihties. If the leader in rms the group 'this is not a race' etc. it can be assumed an ideal is operating. On the other hand, if he criteria for membership of a walking group is physical fitness and endurance then it might be a sumed the competitive spirit will reign supreme and the social walker will be outlawed. Therefore, would seem appropriate to join a group where your interests and physical capabilities are best se ed. If you want to walk independently and dash from A to B in a set time, then join a group w re this is appreciated. Of course ones fitness can increase over time and one can outgrow the gr p into which they initially recruited, or the group can undergo change from a training format to a ociable one, with the influx of newcomers. A transition of this nature might lead founding member wanting great physical challenge, to pursue other arrangements. But the point remains, operat g outside the ideals of a group can mean infringement of the rights of others and contravene im licit understanding of what is appropriate for a given group. There seems to be difficulty with clearly establishing what we might c nsider right for the group. Perhaps this is linked to the fact, awareness, only really surfaces after me incident occurs on a walk. Our communication on such matters also seems to be thwarted b a relatively high turn over of walkers, with newcomers being greeted with a scenario that is shot ough with well worn comments that lack veracity when it comes to really belting out the res nsibilities owed to the leader and co-walkers. perhaps it would help if copies of the Guide-lin s for Walkers leaflet were distributed to new walkers at the commencement of each walk. \2.- •• •• •• •• •• ··7k7~w~·· •• • • There seems to be a need r clarifying our values and ideals with regard to rights, responsibilities and obligations in walker leader relations and walker I walker relations. Perhaps this commentary could become a small con ·bution to achieving this aim, leading to a heightened understanding of such matters, generally. P haps we could think about this matter in the light of my title : Be kind m your leader and to your co walkers. COLIN AND MARLENE DW ARDS REFERENCES Priest, Simon (1989).

As I indicated to Richard at the time, the continuing difficulty in our re ationship with the Department ofRec and Sport made it impossible for me to be enthusia ic about the job, and to be motivated to devote the considerable amount oftime and energy neces ry to do the job properly. As I have said in the past, the Government has every right to change th way things are done, even if it is misconceived, but to not have plan B somewhere near ready to g before dispensing with plan A seems incredible to say the least. It is now going on for some 3 ears since any Government support, and any recognition given t the Friends was withdrawn. Not withstanding the above, our Section Leaders and their teams have ontinued to maintain the sections of the Heysen Trail for which they are responsible. A report fr m Doug Leane, on the work carried out on Section 10, follows. Several significant realignments of the Trail were carried out during 19 Map 8: Trail moved away from the cliffs, where access has been with Map 3: Trail realigned to the original mapped route adjacent to the Sec nd Valley Forest.

As mentioned in the Presidents Report, we are the recipients of a bequ t from the late Geoff Hunkin. The Friends Council has decided that the most appropriate wa to apply the money would be to use it to assist with the installation of a water tank south of Mt AI en. The Department is currently negotiating with the landowner and hopefully we will be able o proceed with the project in the near future. Section 10 Report: - Cudlee Creek to Bethany. Apart from routine maintenance performed during 1997 on this section fthe Trail, two major projects have been completed. These were the renovation of a shepher hut and the rerouting of the Trail up the south side of Mount Crawford. Shepherds Hut This hut is located in the Pewsey Vale section of the Mount Crawford rest, on land controlled by the Department ofPrimary Industries SA. The hut believed to be used shepherds in the late 19th century on land first owned by George Fyfe Angus, has been restored fl use as overnight accommodation for walkers using the Heysen Trail. The materials fort is restoration were partly paid for from a generous donation of $1000 from Rossi Boots. The hut ontains six bunks, a stone open fireplace, simple furniture and outside amenities include a water t with wash basin, a pit toilet and a covered veranda and wood shelter. The hut and veranda flo rs are concrete and stone. The work was performed by a team of six volunteers, who altogether de about 40 day trips to the site.

A FRIENDS OF PARKS ORGANISATIO :20. •• •• •• •• •• 7k7~w~·· •• • • WALKING REPORT Our walking season offic ally opened on 5th April at the 'Pines Oval' at Belair. It was good to see so many familiar faces and eel reassured of the support given by our walkers from the Friends group enjoying the day. Enquir s regarding our walking programme were numerous and we hope there will be a spin off by seei g many new walkers joining us this year. The Summer Walks pro amme was a big success. These non demanding walks and social get togethers are very popula . I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the leaders and to you, our walkers, a big thanky u for your support. Theory sessions for the vigation Course have now been completed and a practical day still has to be conducted. Unfortuna ly the day we had set aside for the practical was too hot, therefore participants will be info ed of a new date to put their skills into action. We are still keen to prom te Trailblazer Backpacking weekends and although response for the introductory night is slo we still hope new people will take part in our backpacking program. By starting now you may be le to try some of the more demanding Trailblazers later in the year. A week in the Gammon anges from 22 - 30 August is being planned by Mick Thomas and Colin Edwards and I can assure ou the Gammons are a very beautiful part of our state and what better way to see them than wal ·ng and camping within its boundaries. This week is part of our Trailmaster programme a d persons interested in this more advanced backpacking trip should contact the Office andre ·ster interest by leaving your phone number and either walk leader will personally contact you. On the 31st May the Ross ter Hut will be opened. There will be a special walk planned for the day in the Pewsey Vale area p ·or to the hut opening. Further enquires and bookings for the walk can be obtained by ringing the 0 fice. We are pleased to welco e John Crouch to our walking committee. John who has led Trailblazer weekends for us on York Peninsula at Innes National Park is now residing in Adelaide. He is also joining the Friends Counc 1 and will act as a liaison officer between the Walking Committee and the Council. Persons booking for walk through the office please leave your contact phone number with the office volunteer taking th booking as it is important to get exact particulars of the meeting place and the start time. Please e prompt as walk leaders will only wait about 5 minutes. Ric Trutwin is interested know if persons are interested in a walk ofthe full Heysen Trail. This would span over a period f the next couple of years. Ric would like to do the full Trail but if any one would like to do secti ns with him please ring the Heysen Office on Fridays. Enjoy the rest of the progr e for the year and be assured a great deal of pleasurable experiences will await you. It is also a excellent way of keeping fit and healthy.

Update - Personal Injury Insurance I need to alert tose members who responded to the insert in the last Tra !walker. Shortly after publication the federation of SA Walking Clubs informewd the friends hat the interstate insurance company involved had decided not to renew the present arrangement ( e for renewal in April). The Federation immediately negotiated with their interstate colleagues nd the insurance company and were able to gain an extension to the present policy - but only until une 1998. The Federation are still awaiting further developments re this matter. Hence none of the recent applicants are covered for personal injury. All the fees sent and the application forms are still at the friends office. We will take no further action until we receive news from the federation.

SHAME In general A.G.M.s are not popular occasions and rarely attract a good turnout from the membership but the last A.G.M. of the Friends can only be classed as isgraceful. Can it be that only 1 in 16 ofthe members has any interest in their organisation???? The poor turnout was an embarrassment to the Council and made dou ly so by the presence of a Guest Speaker who had given of his free time to address us on a subje t that should have been of interest to all of us. What do our members want?- why is it so difficult for members to be tir ·themselves just once in the year- to show support for their organisation and to show that they till have some interest in matters relating to both the Heysen Trail and all other walking trails. The Honourable Mike Elliott, Leader of the democrats in SA, was the uest Speaker who addressed us on the subject of his proposed Bill "The Amendment to t e Roads (Opening and Closing) Act" which passed through the Legislative Council in the last session of Parliament and is due to be reintroduced during the present se3ssion. If passed it would ·ve increased protection to forestall the closure and .~ale of undeveloped road reserves. If you are one of the many who didn't make it to the A.G.M. I ask you ow to put pen to paper- or to visit your local M.P. -and urge them to support this Bill on its next eading. It won't be the solution to all our problems but it should make it easier to ensure to e sure that more road reserves remain 'open' and accessible to the next generation of walkers. Please how that you have some interest in these matters by acting now - and next year try to show yo Committee that you have just a little interest in the affairs of your organisation by attending the .G.M. Liz O'Shea VICE PRESIDENT REPLY TO AGM QUESTION At the AGM a question was raised by Bob Randall regarding the Frien s role in maintenance of the Heysen Trail. He suggested that the Friends Council put out press rei ses, ring up talk back radio and put articles in the Advertiser. At its last meeting Council discusse this and felt that all this was done about two years ago when the situation regarding maintenan e of the Trail was in question. If, however any member of the Friends wish to take the initi tive the Council will be willing to hear your ideas.
