- | Srdithy | + | The bush is beautiful in an eerie way, it is never, to my mind, melancholy; it is rather almost unbearably and unreasonably cheerful when bathed, as it usually is, in incredibly bright sunshine. Really to see the beauties of Australia - and especially of the bush - one must retrain one's eye. Only when native-born painters appeared did the true appeal of the country get transferred to canvas. When clearly seen - when intruding memories of other beauties are put aside - it is magical. It is beautiful. And it is Australian. There is even an occasional surprise. Sometimes one will see a tree apparently |

+ | =====The Blue Labyrinth Incident.===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===An open letter to members and prospective members of the S.B.W.=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | It has been my joy to appear before you in the role of humourist so often that I am now expected to be funny. Brother, this isn't funny: it's going- to hurt. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You are a prospective member of the Sydney Bush Walkers, or maybe you are a new member, or an old one: this interests you all equally. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To the prospective member this is a warning. You do not know the Bush Walkers. They have many virtues which can do you no harm, but they have a deplorable fault of which this letter is intended to warn you of __only__, not to indict any one person. I could have written this had this incident not occurred, I use it only to give you strength to my message. | ||
+ | |||
+ | An official week-end test walk was led in the Blue Labyrinth. You do not know the place? A veritable labyrinth of thickly wooded ridges and gullies, monotonous in their similarity and uncannily confusing to even experienced walkers, a place in which so many experienced walkers have been bushed that it has become legend. This is where the walk was led; by whom it does not matter; it was recently. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the walk there were four or five men and a woman, a new member who became ill and slowed the party down. On Sunday a decision was made to leave the woman with a map of the area to find her way to an arranged spot whilst the party of men went on the scheduled walk to pick her up at the spot at the end of the day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The distance she was to travel was not far, a matter of a few miles I believe, but she was to be left alone in the Blue Labyrinth for a day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The leader said he did not know that she was sick. That may not have been obvious, but she was obviously not a competent walker. In either case she should not have been left alone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | She did not arrive at the spot, and was lost until a search party arranged by the leader of the walk, after returning to Sydney on Sunday night, found her on Monday evening. She had been lost in the Blue Labyrinth for two days and a night. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I am sure that not one of the many who have been bushed in this area will disagree when I say that a lost, inexperienced or sick walker could die of exhaustion before being found in the Blue Labyrinth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | An S.B.W. test walk was given precedence over the safety of a person' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is the whole story in fact. Nothing else matters. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Everything possible was done by the search party to see that she was restored to safety. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the following Friday night a meeting was held in the club rooms. The purpose of this meeting was a little obscure, bit it did little more that make heroes of the search party and add embarrassment to the wronged one. On asking what was its purpose, I was told, to acquaint prospective members with the correct method of precaution when lost. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The lost one had scratched indistinct markings on or near her tracks to indicate her direction. Indistinct, she said, because she was ill. Not only physically I imagine, but mentally sick of the inconstancy of her fellow men. And their pathetic attempt to aid her own safety was chosen as an example to prospective members of how not to leave directions when lost! Was this not adding insult to injury, --- uncouth? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Grim, isn't it? This is not cheap melodrama, not the comedian realizing his life's ambition to play drama, it is not a display of literary word manipulation; | ||
+ | |||
+ | What has happened to this woman can happen to you prospective. I warn you, there is a shocking lack of tolerance in the S.B.W. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here I must remind you again, I am not referring to anyone in person, I am referring rather to an atmosphere into which you are to be included. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Far too many, after having completed their test walks, having had the badge firmly pinned on their manly bosom go forth into the world of walkers to criticise all as weakling who do not wear the badge, to scorn the slow walker, and look upon him as an encumberance to their walk, to be only too eager to dub the walking public outside the S.B.W. as " | ||
+ | |||
+ | There will be many members who will rush to defend themselves from this accusation, and rightly so. Perhaps I should have begun this letter with, "To Whom it May Concern" | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remember this there are as many and more good walkers outside the S.B.W. than there are in it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here prospective I plead with you, please do not add to them in their intolerance. Please have a little understanding and tolerance. This is a Recreation Club. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bush Walker, hiker or tramp, they are all entitled to the common decencies of mankind which was denied this woman, they are all human. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Apologies have been made in the right places and errors of judgement admitted in this matter; these errors of judgement I am warning you of: they are much too frequent, as this incident immediately following the Era fiasco proves. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To you members old and new I will say only this: this woman merely became ill and was unable to carry on at the pace set by the leader. Think back. Can you remember the occasion sometime, somewhere when you had that horrible feeling that perhaps the test walk was too much for you, that perhaps you would be looked upon as an encumberance? | ||
