On the 19th December 1936, Harry Savage, Joan Fitzpatrick and myself were met at Wagga by Jimmy Muir who drove us to Tumbarumba by car. The country was looking beautiful, grass knee high all spangled with mild flowers, daisies, buttercups, dandelions and violets. About four or five miles out of Tumbarumba we left the main road and turned off on a rough bush track which stretches twenty miles to the Tumut River. Jimmy expected to be able to take the car about ten miles along this track. | On the 19th December 1936, Harry Savage, Joan Fitzpatrick and myself were met at Wagga by Jimmy Muir who drove us to Tumbarumba by car.

The Parks and Playgrounds Movement point out that all the fireworks which went off to celebrate the Centenary of New South Males have been forgotten, but Centennial Park remains. In New Zealand they are intending to dedicate the whole of the Tararua Range of Mountains as a national park to commemorate their Centenary for all time. Next year we shall celebrate our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Shall we crown it only with fireworks? The Parks and Playgrounds Movement suggests instead a string of parks around Sydney, and we would suggest also that it is a fitting time to dedicate the grand Blue Mountains National Park for which the National Parks and Primitive Areas Council have striven so long. | The Parks and Playgrounds Movement point out that all the fireworks which went off to celebrate the Centenary of New South Males have been forgotten, but Centennial Park remains.

From time to time we hear the cry that our membership (over 200) is growing too rapidly and ways and means of reducing it are suggested.

On the contrary by adding baby bushwalkers he tends rather to increase them. | From time to time we hear the cry that our membership (over 200) is growing too rapidly and ways and means of reducing it are suggested.
