-"__Wayfaring__"+==== "Wayfaring" ====
  
 The journal of the Melbourne Women's Walking Club contains many interesting articles and one in particular on "Barks of our Gum Trees" which is the sort of thing we should like to see more of in our own journal. Incidentally it also contains a number of typographical and other errors which were very heartening to the editor of "The Bushwalker", for it is always cheering to know that others may be responsible for the same faults as we ourselves make. The journal of the Melbourne Women's Walking Club contains many interesting articles and one in particular on "Barks of our Gum Trees" which is the sort of thing we should like to see more of in our own journal.

-__Another Climbing Accident__+==== Another Climbing Accident ====
  
 The saddest thing in the same publication is the announcement of another climbing fatality. Olive Sandall slipped as she was climbing in the Cathedral Range and was killed. The scene of the tragedy is a stretch of little pointed peaks much beloved by rock-climbers and not very far from Melbourne. No one would expect these pleasant little rocky summits to be the cause of a serious accident. We extend our sincere sympathy to our sister club. The saddest thing in the same publication is the announcement of another climbing fatality.

 In the latest issue of "View Points" there is a list of this ring of proposed parks. They are in the following districts: French's Forest, Galston Gorge, Cattai Creek, Prospect Reservoir, Landsdowne Bridge, Cronulla-Kurnell, and the Randmick Rifle Range. It would indeed be a wonderful memorial if the Parks and Playgrounds Movement got what it sought. In the latest issue of "View Points" there is a list of this ring of proposed parks.

 Fares about 2/6 would probably be about our average. In America they appear to get off less lightly. The scheduled fares for the Mountain Club of Maryland are seldom less than a dollar, about 5/-, and often a very great deal more. It is when we read figures like these that we realise how fortunate we are in havirg cheap weekend fares and attractive places not far distant. However, Maryland has the advantage of maps and guide books in which "every mile of the walk is marked". But is this an advantage after all? There would be none of the joys of exploration. Fares about 2/6 would probably be about our average. In America they appear to get off less lightly.

 This is one of the officers of the same club, an officer whose job it is to keep up an active correspondence with other clubs. If the S.B.W's list of exchanges increases we may have to instal a similar officer to carry on this valuable work for us also. This is one of the officers of the same club, an officer whose job it is to keep up an active correspondence with other clubs.
