Though only a short stream it carried as much water as the Cox in a good season, so that it took us some time to get over the rocky stream bed with our heavy packs. Then we resigned ourselves to some hard going. But we soon became accustomed to our packs, and we were pleased to find that it was almost cool down in the valley. That day we covered some seven miles to a grassy camp site by the hurrying waters of the Pinch River. The next day we set about making a food depot, in which we stored six day's food. We found some old tins and billies which we scraped with sand and washed, put our spare rations into them, then pushed everything into hollow logs and blocked them with stones. That night we camped a few miles above the border. We left our tent and made another depot next morning, taking nothing but our lunch. This too we cached before midday and, feeling like Scott on his way to the Pole, set off to attain our furthest South. As we had now run off the map into the wilds of darkest Victoria we couldn' |

- | c | + | The Snowy Grand Gorge is a fascinating place, unlike any other Australian river gorge. The River bed itself is usually between one and three hundred yards wide - to take the great flow that comes with the spring thaw. The stream is usually clear with a faint greenish tinge, though on this occasion there was a strong fresh and it was grey with mud. Unfortunately it bears the dismal tokens of erosion - great stretches of sand and mud engulfing the once clear-cut rocks and stones of the river bed. One of our problems was to find stretches flowing slowly enough for swimming. During one of our evening swims I set out to swim the river, but had gone only a few yards when I ran aground and was able to walk all the rest of the way - well over 100 yards - on the sand which had silted up the channels. Above the banks the "pine-clad ridges" |

As we approached our base depot we imagined a queue of possums, goannas and echidnas gnawing their way into our rations. However we found all as we had left it. We had half the afternoon left to do our washing and prepare for the next stage of the trip. We had the hardest part of the trip to do the next morning - the 3,000 odd foot climb up the Pinch Pass. As the ridge we were to follow had little tree cover, the morning sun, shining across the gorge, would be pretty fierce. An early start wouldn' |

Sometimes we found clear remnants of the old track, but most of the time we were probably following Brumbie tracks. There are a great number of these animals through this country. Many like them, but to my mind these heavy pounding, hooved animals spoil the quiet of the bush. I suspect too that they are displacing much of the beautiful native fauna. They may also be responsible for the heavy tussock growth on most of the flats - often the result of over-grazing. We saw only four head of cattle along the river. |

We were puzzled by the long narrow deep trenches - up to about twenty feet deep and only six inches wide at the bottom - it must have been a thin miner who cut them.

- | Was almost cool down in the valley. That day we covered some seven miles to a | + | |
- | grassy camp site by the hurrying waters of the Pinch River. The next day we set about making a food depot, in which we | + | |
- | stored six day's food. We found some old tins and billies which we scraped with sand and washed, put our spare rations into them, then pushed everything into hollow logs and blocked them with stones. That night we camped a few miles above the border. We left our tent and made another depot next morning, taking nothing | + | |
- | but our lunch. This | + | |
- | too we cached before midday and, feeling like Scott on his way to the Pole, set off to attain our furthest South. As we had now run off the map into the wilds of darkest Victoria we couldn' | + | |
- | The Snowy Grand Gorge is a fascinating place, unlike any other Australian river gorge. The River bed itself is usually between one and three hundred yards wide - to take the great flow that comes with the spring thaw. The stream is usually clear with a faint greenish tinge, | + | |
- | 10. | + | |
- | though on this occasion there was a strong fresh and it was grey with mad. Unfortunately it bears the dismal tokens of erosion - great stretches of sand and mud engulfing the once clear-cut rocks and stones of the river bed. One of our problems was to find stretches flowing slowly enough for swimming. During one of our evening swims I set out to swim the river, but had gone only a few yards when I ran aground and was able to walk all the rest of the way - well over 100 yards - on the sand which had silted up the channels. Above the banks the bpine-clad ridges" | + | |
- | setting for the exploits of the aman from Snowy River?' | + | |
- | these slopes and mountair | + | |
- | higher up there is mainly box. It is very barren country, with little grass cover. This puzzled us quite a lot. Had it been burnt out, or eaten out by travelling stock? or had the rabbits destroyed | + | |
- | the cover and then died out themselves? We were inclined to think thct it was probably fairly near its natural state, and that steep | + | |
- | gravelly slopes and low rainfall accounted for the lack of grass. | + | |
- | The cypress pine and box association is typical of parts of the Western slopes and plains somewhere round the 15 inch rainfall belt. The hf_gh mountains round the Grand Gorge probably caught most of the rainfall before it ever reached this great inland trough. As a result there was little wild life. Reptiles couldn/t exist in the | + | |
- | sandy wastes of the river bed, while there was not enough grass to | + | |
- | support kangaroos or wallabies. Here and there were rabbit warrens. The distant scenery was magnificent, | + | |
- | We could see great vistas of ridges and peaks rising up from the wide | + | |
- | valley. The walking too was most enjoyable. When we learnt enough | + | |
- | to ignore the survey pegs which some pre-war hopefuls had used to | + | |
- | make out their projected road, and looked instead for the remains | + | |
- | without undergrowth, | + | |
- | over every saddle. The weather was delightful - warm and dry without being hot. | + | |
- | The journey back was just as enjoyable as the down trip, though the last day was hot. As we approached our base depot we imagined a queue of possums, goannas and echidnas gnawing their way into OUP | + | |
- | rations. However we found all as we had left it. We had half the afternoon left to do our washing and prepare for the next stage of | + | |
- | the trip. We had the hardest part of the trip to do the next morning - | + | |
- | the 3,000 odd foot climb ur the Pinch Pass. As the ridge we were to follow had little tree cover, the morning sun, shining across the | + | |
- | gorge, would be pretty fierce. An early start wouldn' | + | |
- | Next morning dawned clear, but as we breakfasted we were pleased to see a thin cirrus cloud starting to form high above. It protected | + | |
- | 11. | + | |
- | us from the full heat of the sun as we toiled up the pass and converted the morning from a " | + | |
- | State, but I doubt whether any afford more extensive and varied views, because they are usually narrow and flanked by tablelands | + | |
- | rather than mountains of varying shapes. The river here is about | + | |
- | GOO feet above sea level, while the mountains rise to over 4,000 feet. | + | |
- | The distances the depth, and the sombre hues of the pine ridges, | + | |
- | 6 | + | |
- | created a truly " | + | |
- | little gully through which flowed a clear alpine streamlet. As | + | |
- | kangaroo grass gave way to wallaby and snow grass and box yielded to | + | |
- | mountain ash we knew the top would not be Par. The valley heat was | + | |
- | now below us and before long we were on the crest of the Suggan Buggan | + | |
- | Range, from where we had our first glimpse of the nobbly crown of the Ram,s Head, some 25 miles to the North. | + | |
- | That afternoon and the next morning we walked along through the open forest country alongside the ingegoodbie. Sometimes we found | + | |
- | clear remnants of the old track, but most of the time we were probably following Brumbie tracks. There are a great number of these animals | + | |
- | through this country. Many like them, but to my mind these heavy pounding, hooved animals spoil the quiet of the bush. I suspect too that they are displacing much of the beautiful native fauna. They | + | |
- | may also be responsible for the heavy tussock growth on most of the | + | |
- | flats - often the result of over-grazing. We saw only four head of cattle along the river. | + | |
- | Soon after lunch the next day we came to the Tin Mines and inspected the workings. We were puzzled by the long narrow deep trenches - up to about twenty feet deep and only six inches wide at the bottom - it must have been a thin miner who cut them. The winch used for raising the dirt was just like an illustration from an early history of N,S.W. - a sapling with one of the roots as a handle. We were just about to pass the hut, which we have thought | + | |
- | us in for a cup of tea, which we were glad to accept. He was surely | + | |
- | one of the oldest inhabitants of the district and would explain several mysteries - why weren' | + | |
- | interesting information. The trenches were his own special method of | + | |
- | mining - the dyke method - and the Park Trust had not renewed many of the leases - but we found that his real interests lay in Cancer, Finance, and Communism. We could only wait to hear about the first | + | |
- | topic, but left equipped with his booklets covering all three subjects. We had one of them each night round the campfire for the next three nights. | + | |
