After having been out with quite a number of American clubs I must say that my respect for the S.B.W. has increased mightily. There is no club here that can compare with them for toughness, pioneering spirit, arid ability to rough it; for here, with made trails and trail shelters everywhere such qualities are not require. The American clubs lack, too, the informality of the S.B.W., and the real mateship that comes from hardships bravely shared. Members, who have been in the same club for years will continue to call one another Mr. and Miss.

It is something like Clear Hill in formation excepting that the top is much more uneven and in many places. consists only of a narrow ramp of broken rock. Although a lot of rook climbing is necessary to get along the top, there are no cliff faces such as were met by Marie Byles when she approached from below, on the Western side. On the whole I mould recommend this approach to the less agile and those with family responsibilities. But it mould be advisable to get full information before trying it as the tableland is a maze of aeep gullies and flat-topped ridges. | ||

- | The following morning we set off dawn the river for a short distance, and then along a spur towards a small break in the cliff face to the East.

It must have been tremendously hard work raising the water by this primitive method and I could not help thinking of the great quantities of modern machinery which were lying idle at the time when Jack was working the handle of this home-made windlass. | + | The following morning we set off down the river for a short distance, and then along a spur towards a small break in the cliff face to the East.

The mountain ahead of us looked almost inaccessible from a distance, but actually proved quite easy to climb. There was a steep pinch near the top, but again there was nothing we could not walk up. Having got up we left our packs and went along the top of the mountain for a little over half a mile to a point overlooking the Nattai Valley, which is very narrow here and lies at the foot of steep cliffs. Around here it is somewhat like a rather narrow version of the Burragorang. | The mountain ahead of us looked almost inaccessible from a distance, but actually proved quite easy to climb.

For about half the way we followed a dry gully and when this became rough we climbed up onto a ridge and followed this down to the river. This route from the Upper Burragorang to the Nattai is probably the only way of getting from one to the other without following down to the junction of the two rivers, and makes possible quite a number of interesting walks. |
