+Anybody who is anybody in the S.B.W. seems to be having a session at Kosciusko this season. Never has the Club seen such a mass migration to the snowfields. I don't think we have any plutocrats at the Chalet at £30 per week, but we have everything else, from those occupying the superior huts with central heating, h. and c. water laid on, food and cook provided, to the twenty innocents in the care of your Editor who are hoping to get away with half-hut-half-tent conditions at an all-inclusive cost of from £6 to £12 for the fortnight depending on whether they hitch and borrow or go by train and hire equipment.
+Bert Whinier has set the standard for our low-income group with his home made skiis constructed of two bits of flooring board, the bindings cunningly incorporating a couple of hinged doorstops, an old sock round his head as ear-protectors. "What do you want with fancy trimmings", says Bert. "Cost too much. You're only going for a fortnight."
+All our party is decked out in men's reconverted second-hand evening pants at 5/- the pair, and borrowed plumes of every description. Equipment too is largely borrowed. A leader of the Christian Union movement has kindly supplied us with horsehair paliasses to augment our personal supplies.
+Bert has closed in the back of his truck with a canvas and perspex hood as sleeping quarters for the 5 children. "You'll be nice and snug in there" (while the temperature sags through the minus 40's - poor trusting little beggars). But besides skiis we have a toboggan and various digging implements to warm them up by day.
+Housework should be cut to the minimum. Plates are deep enough to hold the necessary food, but not so deep that they can't be licked out between courses (no washing-up water of course). We have a kerosene bucket specially for porridge so we can toss it outside in the snow unwashed to keep it fresh for tomorrow's porridge. Ditto with the stew-pot (I hate washing-up)!
+You can think of us at the present moment crammed into Colin Putt's alpine tent with a couple of coke braziers braizing away wherever it is convenient to put them, and a battery of cooking primuses set up on a packing case in the snow. (Say, is this fun?? I don't know yet.) Some of the snow has been shovelled away and this area paved with 16 packing cases of food, (half a hundredweight of rolled oats to mention just one item). Thus insulated from the cold snow (we hope) by Uncle Toby's product, innumerable tins of bully beef, plum pud., golden syrup, etc., etc., we spread our mattresses, sleeping bags and extra eiderdowns and sleep as snug as a dozen jack rabbits in the snow. Do we hope the tent pegs hold? Do we hope the tent pole doesn't blow down in a blizzard? We most fervently do! Anyone who has any pull with the weather man, please petition for fine weather for the next fortnight so that we may return all in one piece. We will reward you with a special Snow Issue for October.

-SEARCH & RESCUE SECTION. Following the Holland search, the Federation had requested the Police Department to write to the respective employers of the S & R Personnel acknowledging the assistance of the members of the Section in that Search. The Police agreed but later rescinded as they stated they did not desire to place the Department under any obligation to the employers concerned. It later transpired that the Headquarters Staff were under the misapprehension that the S & R Section had volunteered their services in this and other searches, whereas it was the Police who had requested the S & R to assist them.

The Police agreed but later rescinded as they stated they did not desire to place the Department under any obligation to the employers concerned. It later transpired that the Headquarters Staff were under the misapprehension that the S & R Section had volunteered their services in this and other searches, whereas it was the Police who had requested the S & R to assist them. Steps have been taken by the Police laision officer to correct the false impression at H.Q. with the result that the Federation is hopeful that somewhat belated letters now will be sent to the employers concerned expressing appreciation of the latter's action in releasing staff to join in searches during the working week. Further conferences with the Police and the R.A.A.F. have resulted in standardised signals. A red Verey light will be the recall signal. The R.A.A.F. will use grid maps one inch to the mile. Foot parties will be issued with Ground Strips - 6 strips of white material to be laid in a prearranged pattern. Owing to legal difficulties, a bushwalker observer could not be carried in R.A.A.F. planes, which in future will operate from Canberra. A modified list of essentials for parachute drop to lost parties is in hand. Wherever possible the Police will supply transport and more use of radio is to be made, e.g. to organise civilian volunteer cars from Katoomba to convey search parties to starting points. The Federation has adopted an insurance scheme whereby members of the S & R section officially taking part in a search, or practice search, will be covered against death or accident. Injured members, unfit to work, will receive £12 per week plus medical expenses. Members will be covered from the time of leaving home until return. A S & R Practice Weekend will be held an the weekend of 18-19th September in the Carlon's-Galong Creek-Breakfast Creek area.

+The Great Dividing Range is a most disconcerting affair... at times, neither Great nor a Range, yet somehow it always Divides. Have you ever pondered over your maps... or better still, have you ever hazarded a guess as to its whereabouts when in the field? Take for example, along the Hume Highway en route for Goulburn from Yass. Somewhere there we go "over the line" just when you'd reckon we were traversing a plain; and you'd never have known if it hadn't been for the gracious notice erected by a considerate Main Roads Board.

+Sometimes when you are far from signs, it is most important to keep on that mighty watershed; and it's just at that time when you wrinkle the brow and ponder between Gungarton and the Brassy or in the timber between the Cascades and the Tin Mines. Of course, there are strips of range where you'd merit the proverbial Lead Medal if you made a mistake... Cunningham's Gap in Queensland, the Main Range from Kosciusko to Dicky Cooper's Bogong or the Crosscut Saw that joins Howitt with Cobbler and the Barry Mtns....

+Ah! Yes! The Crosscut Saw! Now there's a piece of mountain that's worth calling both Great and Range; and what's more, it Divides like a Saw! Situated in the Victorian Middle Alps, the Crosscut is the centre of a land of mystery, mighty peaks, romantic snowplains and old warrior snow gums. Nearby are the sources of the King and Howqua (flowing to the west); tho Wonnangatta and Macalister (flowing to the east)....

+Some years back we had our first taste of this country when we "experimented" with the Baw Baws (a southern offshoot of the Divide where the Range turns east to back around behind Melbourne) and from these heights made out Mt Wellington on the skyline, Glen Maggie Reservoir and the Lakes on the coastal strip below. Coming home along the Princes Highway through Stratford and Bairnsdale, the jagged blue sky of the west whetted the appetite, and the following year, assisted with information from our good Melbourne friends, we approached Wellington from the south-east and were for some days, goggle-eyed at the beauty and mystery of Lake Tarli Karng, the Wellington, Snowy and Hewitt Plains and of course, the Crosscut Saw, which we traversed in order to go down to Whifield via Cobbler and the Bennie Homestead on the Rose River.

 The Coach took us through Mansfield to Merri jig where, camped on the Delatite, we were qdite close to the beginning with Mt Buller and Timbertop rising directly to the north of the campsite. OnGeon the Howqua, the walking or should I say the splashing... began. There were twenty four crossings in the first eight miles, at which point, a forestry hut .. the Eight Mile ..is established. In a day and a half we had progressed to he final flat at the foot of the Howitt Spur after a valley of great beauty and many flats clothed with fine Manna Gums. Ritchie's Hut at the 14 mile, is a veritable mansion complete with refrigeration and hot and cold running water. Bindareo Hut another forestry structure, is the last of the huts at about 18 miles from 17ry's. Views of the shape of things to coma are caught all

 Sheila Binns is back from the snows wrecked in one knee. Consequently her two forthcoming walks will be led by John White.
 Being snowed under has no terrors for Bob Chapman. Although snowed under with studies as a Fourth-Year Medical student he has been able to organise a party of 15 (mostly Med. students and physiotherapists in training) to visit the Alpine Hut at Brassy Mt. When the hard years of study are over Bob may be able to 112Te some of them to join the ranks of the Sydney Bush Walkers.

 lead off from Bogong and although our Long Spur was a headache, this was largely due to poor tracking. Such a track would not be following the Great Divide which you will notice doubles back from Mt Hotham around Omeo and Benatbra. Hereabouts it is low and developed for agriculture. I would suggest two alternatives ... down the Long Spur to Glen Valley, then transport through Omeo to Benambra. From BenaMbra, the Tin Mines Track leads finally to Kosciusko via The Pilot and the Ramshead Range. The other alternative would be to follow the Long Spur until it connects with Mt Wills, then Mt Wills, Glen Wills, across to Gibbs Creek, over Mt Gibbs and on to the Buenbar Hut track to Tom Groggin and then the Leatherbarrel route to Dead Horse Gap and Kosciusko. (A further suggestion still from Benambra on to the Nunniong Plain, the Cobberas, the Pilot, Kosciusko.)
 trust you have had patience with MB during this outline of routes. Pour over your maps and you toe; will sae a dozen routes for the choosing. Many places are tracked ... many tracks shown or pre-existing have gone because of lack of use, or fires or washaways, or simply because it has been ndbody's business to care for them. To my knowledge no Huts for General Public use exist anywhere in the area planned. No wonder one needs to be a virile walker to make the grade! These lands are national property ... how often do we hear that they are wasteland because they are seldom visited and only then by the most adventurous!
