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. | ||

- | 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 "aver 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 Vrom 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 youtd merit the proverbial Lead Medal if you made a mistake 'iv.. Cunningham' | + | |

Coming home along the Princes Hightmy 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 Yarng, the Wellington, Snowy and Hewitt Plains and of course, the Crosscut Saw | + | |

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. | Being snowed under has no terrors for Bob Chapman.

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.) | lead off from Bogong and although our Long Spur was a headache, this was largely due to poor tracking.
