+ | =====Easter At Carlon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | By No.1 Casualty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well, I've never reached the summit of a mountain first, and I've never been first out of bed in the morning, but I was the first admission to Carlon' | ||
+ | |||
+ | It was quite simple, just one of those smooth round stones with an inviting expreseion, and presto, you've got odd feet. This happenad about two miles up Little River, so 1 was forced (literally) to creep under the weight of my completely empty pack to the junction of the Cox and Galong Creek. Have you ever wished that your companions would only leave you sp that you could die quietly at your own pace? They never do. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We pitched camp at last at the bottom of Galong. I spent the night dreaming that I was crawling heroically up the creek on my hands and knees, but when morning came cowardice asserted itself, and I developed an intense ambition to ride up Tin Pot track on a horse. I hadn't ridden a horse since I was in short pants, but I hadn't crawled since I was in rompers, so the advance party flew along Galong and in no time, salvation, in the shape of Bertie Carlon and the stalwart steeds Taffy and Minty arrived. I was hoisted with every care and absolutely no ceremony onto Taffy' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Arriving at the C.C.S. I was greeted with an imposing array of hotwater bottles, crutches, and soft downy beds. My notoriety was short lived however for after this the casualties came thick and fast. Taffy was pressed into service again next morning to bring Emily Livingstone, | ||
+ | |||
+ | No sooner was No.2 Casualty bedded down that night, than the next victim was announced by a huge bull's eye lantern piercing the gloom, followed by ambulance, police, bushwalkers and sundries. These latter had come out in the ambulance complete with guns for a night' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Having decided that Bertie and Jack would be the best ones for the rescue trip down Black Dog, the bushwalkers and sundries, police and ambulance went to bed. We were so excited by the presence of all these men that we scarcely slept, but it wasn't till sunrise that No.3 Casualty showed his wan little face round the dining room door. He really did look sick and only stopped off for tea before being cleared for hospital treatment with a dislocated knee-cap and lacerations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the departure of this casualty with the bushwalkers, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Emily and I were discharged with due ceremony at 2 p.m. and set off somewhat reluctantly on our homeward trek. The care and attention we received would tempt anyone to chronic incapacity and we would advise all prospective casualties to arrange to be damaged within reasonable distance of Carlon' | ||

+ | =====Reading Matter For The Troops.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | No doubt those of you who travel by train or ferry have noticed that Bookstalls on stations and wharfs are sadly lacking in " | ||
+ | |||
+ | This dearth of reading matter is being felt by the Services Committee who are finding it extremely difficult to get sufficient reading matter for the men in distant parts. In a recent letter, one of our club members wrote "----- I received some more Penguins for which I thank you very much. I can assure you these books are read by very many once they begin to circulate up here. "__A book is preserved like life itself.__" | ||
+ | |||
+ | So go again over your shelves and through your cupboards. Bring in your copy of The Bulletin, Wireless Weekly, any Penguins or Digests you might still have. If you have any old numbers of the Sydney Bushwalker, would you hand them in, for The Services Committee has found that bushwalkers from other clubs very much appreciate these copies. | ||
