A monthly Bulletin devoted to matters of interest to The Sydney Bushwalkers, 5 Hamilton Street, Sydney.

Spain, which had a topography similar to Australia, had never reached its proper agricultural development, Mr. Clayton said, because warnings of soil erosion had been ignored. To-day anyone could despoil this country, cut its trees, fire its countryside, and waste its precious streams. It was necessary for Australians to develop a consciousness of the land itself. Too many people believed that so long as trams ran and the Stock Exchange existed all was well.

BLACK:CLOUDS AND SILVER LININGS by “'Thin. How can T possibly describe the bladk outlook when I arrived in Queensland?

In time we discOvered that it was often most advantageous to be mistaken for the local soldiery-and now try to look as much like it as we dare. The average eye is not very critical and a lot of our walking has been done where many commandos are trained. Our hopes mostly tend towards Its but often we receive embarrassing sympathy (!) and praise. Having asked a small favour of one female shopkeeper I was treated to such an ebullient display of feeling that Iwas most apprehensive, On another trip, as we Wrn, unfortunatelY-speeding for a train, we were invited by :eng diete nce shuts to a con uf tea.

I THE LAST OF THE BUSH WALURS By Ray Bean, The seccnd world war was but a memory, The post war recone,tructinn had crammed ao much into the lives of the -people that happening:7 o: ten years ago were not remembered clearly, The experiences of several Life times were telescoped into one; such was the pace of living, The groat fifty seven years of peace prophesied by Nostradamus was nearly at an en6 People were living at an excessive rate to get as mueh pleae'ure RE rossible into the few remaining years of peace, Even now thEe:e :s ohvLos st r:: of unrest in Neo-slovaki:e where everyone knows the-re is a preponderance of Aryan stock, Frankly, Demecratic Socialism is on the 5J-CJThe year is an important one to Winstor. Gladstone for he has sul)eev'esPd the laying of more seamler2e, jointess, 731aiet:.o ,car:, ever achieved ir one year, and as we see him entering. his gravity ca.: 7ith hir fie,ncee and two friends to show them he ge eat Highway 371, we zr,e eomething of his achievement reflected in the pYoud eapeseiicn on his fees, Gripping the synthetic eteering wheel Winston sets ii:eto the direction of Highway 371 when he gets beyend tha cubu elJan limit. for Highway 371 is as straight'as … well, the shortest distance between two -,Doints, and he has no need to steer, such is the perfection cf the gravity car whose simple but efficient engine converts as much of the force of ,ravity required to propel it into horizontal force, As the streamlined, highly polished, ple stic sha-.?e of the car speeds along Winston turns a knob on the dash-board and they listen to an orchestra on the television radio -laying an atonal s7mnhony by th contemporary composer Mozhoven. Highway 371 has no intersections or branches, just a magnificent ribbon of road, right across the mountains to the Western plains and beyond; the ingenuity of Winston Gladstone, even though the mountains were crossed and cries-crossed by roads and dotted by aerodromes, On Scots Main Range the car came to a st,,ndstill and the quzIrtet carry a small picnic hamper into the shade of the trees, The meal break is an opportunity for Winston to tell his friends of the technical difficulties encountered and overcome in the building of Highway 371, and he is asked what was the most interesting encounter of the project, “Tell, said Winston, strangely enough it had no connection with engineering, but I have never met such an oddity in my life.” Ee settles himself into a more comfortable position and strikes an attitude of importance, for Winston loves an audience, and considers himself no mean teller of tales, “You have probably never heard of that strange sect, or cult, or something, known as Bush Walkers; they roamed these mountains yeirs ago carrying huge packs containing food and blankets, and lived under the trees at night and walked during the day,” You mean they just welked?” asked Winston's fiancee. “Yes, they just walked” said Winston, 6. “Gosh/” said his fiancee. “Down on a clearing on the Kowmung River I met a fellow who claimed he was the last of this cult, or sect… “Or something” said the Fiancee. “He was working a treadmill with his bare feet, carring. a huge pack on his back, and just gazing away into the distmce as though he didn't know whrt was there”. “Did you talk to him”? asked th'?. other man. “Yes, I spoke to him, but he did not hear; at least he did not answer my question; he just looked ahead and kept muttering, no place to walk any more, no place to walk”. I made a few enquiries from small farmers in the district and they told me the story of the Bush Walkers.” “When he is not hike-bappy he talks of the way these people walked the mountains years ago, and how hd survived them all.” “Gosh”, said the fiancee, “fancy walking.” This is finished, an idle tale of fantasy. It's oddity lies not so much in the flight of fancy, but in the thought that it could be true. THE KOSCIUKO STATE PARK By “Silvanius” (1) A brief sketch of the area itself. The area covered by the park is situated between Yass and the Victorian Border, it comprises the mountainous catchments of the Viurray, Snowy, DarrumbiOsee and Tumut Rivers. For the most part the country is extremely steep aDthough some relatively level areas occur on the to-s of the plateaux. The country surrounding Kiandra is one such area. All the high country is covered with snow in the winter, und it is one of the feu snowfall are;s in New South Wales. On account of th: ark: tha f,ist,nce from eith,:r Sydney or Nelbourne the area is practically uninhabited and it is quite unsuitable for farming. The bulk of the area ir covered with forests; on the'more or less level top these forests have been destroyed by repeated burning and their place has been taken by grasc. Some 140,000 acres are State Forests dedicated under the 1916 Forestry Act, These-State Forests were selaCted-on account of the fact that they contain crimmercially valuable timbers. One of them contains 1452 acres of pine plantation established by the Forestry Commission since 1924 at a total cost of approximately E25,000. (2) Past History of the area. On account of the steepness and remoteness the land was not sought after - by settlers, consequently it has remained Crown Lands up to the present time wwwlNowar when nearly all the land in the State valuable fOr grazing, agriculture or other uses has been taken up by individuals or dedicated to appropriate purposes. The land is actually residual Crown Lands of :very low value, but cOnfainin:8 - areas of use during dry years for summer grazing. D Up to the present the Lands Department has made the land available to the Public for Summer Grazing under a system of Snow Leases and Periissive Occupancies. This system has given the public just and equitable use of the 5land in accordance with the spirit of the-Crown Lends Consolidation Act, Whilst giving the public the use of the land, the Lands Department has done nothing towards conserving or developing the natural resources of the area and has, in particular, done nothing to stop the bush fires which practically every year sweep through the mountains, The results of these repeated bush fires are seen in the remnants of what were once splendid forests, now reduced to scrub bracken and bare earth, In the high plateaux the scrub and trees have been destroyed, swamps have dried up, moss has been destroyed and the banks of streams, once covered with moss and vegetation, have been reduced to sandy beaches. Failure to control these fires has been due no doubt partly to apathetic public opinion plus governmental failure to realise the final result of a slow process of degradation. The main cause-, however, lies in the fact that the area has a very low economic value, and, while the expen-;it.-xe necessary for this work is very great, the execution of the work coulc: h,ve but an extremely low priority in relation to the work of the State as a whole. (3) Its natural resources. Many years ago the N.6,7. Government built tha Burrinjuck Dam and the water:is now used both for irrigation and the ganaration of electricity. The Murray.RiVer. Commirsion has built the Hume Weir and uses the water for irrigation. Provision has also been kade to use it for the generation of electricity. The Water Conservation and Irrigation Commission is making a very thorough survey of suitable dam sites on the Tumut River, and it seems certain that a large dam will be built there very soon after the war in order to supplement the Burrinjuck Dam. Many schemes have been advanced,for utilising the water of the Snowy River for irrigation, for supply to Sydney and for hydro-electric power. Before very long the waters of this river must be utilised for one or all of these purposes. Parts of the area have proved their suitability for the growth of exotic conifers which are so badly needed to build up our depleted forest resources. Some 1350 acres of country on Jounama State Forest have already been 1?1anted with nines which are now up to 20 years old. Parts of the area are suitable for the summer grazing of stock, thereby, relieving the strain on the western grazing lands whilst at the same time increasing their carrying caipacity. With scientific management, pasture improvement and strict control, the usefulness of the area in this direction could be increased. Parts of the area contain forests of L.lpine Ash which is one of our most valuable Eucalyptus, much sought after for joinery, the manufacture of joinery, handles, boat oars and furniture, as well as general building timber. The area contains the best, and almost the only, snow country where Winter sports can be practised. This aspect has already been developed at Kosciusko, and is capable of much greater development. There is much rugged mountainous country where the bush walker can find his Primitive Area made primitive and perforce kept primitLve by the forces of nature, so long as it is not devastated by buth fires. The streams are the natural hoae of trout and provide some of the best fishing in the State. The reaoteness of th-:, area makes it a natural sanctuary for birds and animals as well as a preserve for native flora. The whole of it can form a vast ;Ilayground wherein every lover of the outdoors can find his heart's desire in the way of recreation: (4) Liamt_aalaasarliktRalX2_90Pserion ioolicZ is required. Here then lies a huge area waiting, not to be exploited, but to be conserved ad developed. We require a large conservation policy and a plan which will embrace, not only the present, but the future. A plan of conservation and development which will take account of all the varied assets presented by this almost unique mountain region. (5) The conservation and develgpment plan - Execution. The execution of this plan calls for the services of a strong team of technical men: Foresters, soil conservationalists, agrostologists, land administrators, organisers of public recreation etc. who will vigorously conserve and develop this area and make it serve its mUtiple purposes, and obtain from it the maximum use for the wide variety(drpeople who need it, andfor its own native fauna and flora. Under a Ministry of Conservation, combining Water Cmnservation, Forestry, Soil Conservation and Agriculture - this could be done and a vsst mountainous region converted - not into a State Park merely, by n3me but into a living bequest for future generations. The present Act contains the gem of the idea but the vision is too narrow; the tu21 potentialities of the idea have been insuffici?nt/y realised; the practical difficulties associated with the work are not und,3rstood; the means provided for attaining the ideal are entirely inadequate. The ,result will be a park on paper but a fire-devastated wilderness on the ground. , If, II., I I, L t/

FRUIT HOW TO DRY API-LES - let Method. Feel the apples and core them right through, then cut into rings with a stainless knife. To prevent the rings becoming a bad colour, they must be subjected to sulphur fumes, Take se/eral large clean jars and invert one at a time over , burning sulnhur candle. As soon es the fleene does down, turn the jar quickly, slip a saucer over the top to Tr-8e) tlee sulphur fumes in Put the ap:le rings in the jars as quiclely as poseible, covering at once. Allo,q to remain 15 minutes, shake loccesion311y, so thot the fumes reach all surfaces, thie elread on trays and dry in a cool oven 4 or 5 hours, nerhies longer. They should be tough an no juice left in thems, Cover with muslin to protect from duet and leave in a warm, dry place for 24 hours. Pack in boxes lined with greaseproof paper. An alternative method after the sulphur treatment isto thread the rings on wire and stretch this in the sun, Don't let the rings touch. APPLES - and Methode Core and thinly peel the apples, then cut imto rings just under 4'e1? thick. As you cut the rings, drop them into cold salt water mixed in the proportion of 1 tablespoon salt to 6.1Ants of water, Then thread the aeeple rings on to tamboo -canes cut to the same length as your sliding oven shelves. If ydu. have no bamboo rods, the rings can be threaded on to tape or strong string. Put the aleple rings into the oven at a low heat - about 120F. Wedge the sticks across the oven, letting them rest on the grooves that the shelves rest on in the ordinary way. If they're on a tape or string, hang them,from the bars of a shelf, Let the temperature of the oven be gradually raised to about 200F, when the outside of the apnles begin to shrivel. Turn the rings at intervals an examine them from time to time. They should not get hard' outside, but should become leathery and bendable. Some apple rings may be dried sufficiently in about 4 hours - it depends on their thickness. But to test if they are ready, cut one across the thickest part and squeeze the cut ends. If any moisture at all is noticeable, the fruit must be left in the oven a little longer and tested again. When the fruit is suffici,ntly dried, take the cans from the oven and put them in a room of even te ;Deraturel et ndin the ends of the rods on raised blocks so that the fruit (.2osn't touch the table. Spread a piece of muslin oven the fruit to ,Irotct tt from dust, and leave it there for 24 hours to cool off Test the fruit again for moisture at the end of this time, if th3re is any suggestion of it, put the fruit back in the oven for a final drying off. The method of storing is important, P-ck away the rings in any kind of box, jar or tin, but make sure they are kept in a place that is cool and perfectly dry. Don't put them on a top shelf in the kitchen .1M111..1. c: 7ant17, because the-temioerature..varies nearer the ceilingi :10-ier put them in a deep cupboarc4_,
