+The children, who were all from Surrey Hills, ranged in age from 7 to 12 and some of them had never been in the bush before.

One lass of 7 cut a dashing line clad in Norma Barden's 2-piece swim suit, precariously moulded to her little limbs with the aid of many safety pins.
-Close on 30 Bushwalkers had a hectic day turning skipping ropes, watching that the children didn't drown, supervising races, administering firtt''aid-and last, but not least, preparing luncheon and tea for 66 ravenous_appetites. Luncheon was a great success, parti-Claarly fruit salad and ice cream and by the end of the meal even apparently insatiable little boys were clutching their stomachs and saying "No thinks, Sir" tc offers of a second helping.
-The climax of the day was reached when each child received a toy and a bag of sweets, and then came the scramble into the special bus. There was a bad moment when the bus left the Park and we found it wasn't heading towards Chatswood Station at all: Somehow a horrible misundersatnding had arisen and the 30 Bushwalkers and 66 childpen were on the wrong bus: Sleepy children clutching sticky sweets and pistols and penknives and lord knows what were hastily transferred from one but to another.

 Bushwalkers and children had become firm friends throughout the day and there were some sad and reluctant partings, Helen, aged 7, tearfully clutched at Bob when the hour of departure came and extracted promises of "seeing you at next year's Xmas Treat".
