-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 The Police agreed but later rescinded as they stated they did not desire to place the Department under any obligation to the employers concerned.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. 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+=== Bouddi Natural Park===

-  'The road is my home, reaIly. It's a wonderful thing, a road. It seems to lead anywhere and everywhere. It's always a sort of adventure. You know how you feel when you wake early and look out at a glorious morning. It seems so futile to be in one place -- doesn't it? After a long night trip under the stars, with the hoofs and harness and wheels making a song, and all the people drowsy and comfortable, when it is dawn, you get anew team and swing out again on to the road, and it stretches ahead, all bends and dips and hills and gullies. There is a smell of the earth that you get to love, au the birds are marvellous in the early morning; and the trees, even their green is different. And the wind rushes past, cool, yet with a sort of warmth about it.' +

-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. +Once again, we had some invaluable details from our Melbourne friends and were able to get food packed in to Howitt Hut by Fred Fry who has a holding on the Howqua where we proposed to make a start on the trek.
