That alone could be cause for satisfaction. But the working bee in Blue Gum Forest at the end of April proved something else, something far more significant. The very fact that over thirty Club members were prepared to give up a week end of exquisite weather to a cause or ideal shows that we are tapping a spirit similar to that of the early walkers. The work was by no means light, some members burdened themselves with packs they would not normally dream of carrying, worked until darkness suspended the job, and were at it before sunrise next morning. | That alone could be cause for satisfaction.

After being treated to cups of tea by the cook, we climbed back into our Land Rovers and followed a road up the Geehi River to within three or four miles of Windy Creek, which is as far as the access track is through at the moment, and watched road building operations there. We saw the bulldozer push the rubble over the edge and it was quite eerie to hear the avalanche down into the valley. The men that build these roads are truly amazing. The slope is very steep indeed and the Road Location Man had been through there blazing the trees and selecting the route. However, he must have strapped himself to the trees, for I cannot see how he could have had a foothold. All the way out to Windy Creek we had the main range on our right, and the most magnificent panoramas unfolded themselves at every bend of the road. Naturally the camera enthusiasts had a field day. | After being treated to cups of tea by the cook, we climbed back into our Land Rovers and followed a road up the Geehi River to within three or four miles of Windy Creek, which is as far as the access track is through at the moment, and watched road building operations there.
