 five minutes. Grace, Don and Snow all manage to be prompt: Neil, in spite of the amazing variety and quantity of his food, is on time, but I, alas no. And when at last I am packed Up and ready to leave, someone points out the billy and the tin of milk and the dishcloth which I have inadvertantly left out. However, even after waiting for me, the party managed to be away slightly after seven, While the troup of Rovers camped just down the paddock still snored in their tents. The morning was delectably clear and as the crisp, frosted grass crunched under our feet we felt it was a fine thing to be abroad and wakeful while others slept.
-Now the main land nark between Cunningham's aid Guouogang is a large clearing, and as already mentioned, I'd been there before, but in spite-of this I led the party on a circumnavigation of the said clearing, or the west and south sides, and would have continued to do the same to the east and probably north sides if I hadn't been fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the object of our search between the trees. Being quite exhausted with shock at having finally located the clearing I resigned the leadership to Dot and Snow who made a much better job of it. We left the clearing with Whalan's Creek on the north side; we skirted gullies, crossed ridges and climbed up for a view. "Ah! There's Guouogang! -- or is it over there?" "Let 's hope not". "No, this is it I'm sure". "Then that must be the ridge we want". "Oh, well, we'll try it anyway." We followed our ridge until it seemed in danger of being swallowed up in small scrub and futile gullies, so Dot climbed a tree and told us Guauogang straight ahead". Away we went and sure enough there was the long hot ridge of sally bush crawling to the summit on the east side.

 The sun was now shining with full geniality and the water was dripping from the bucket I'd been carrying since we left Whalan's Creek, down my legs and filling up my boots. hIlve had this water - carrying!" I said at last. "Better put it in something that doesn't leak, someone suggested. "You can put it in me if you like", said Snow, who was beginning to feel thirsty.
 We toiled Up the ridge cursing the sally scrub that whips and drags and scratches and gets thicker every year. As we turned an elbow near the top we came to the place where you can see above the scrub and across the south side of Guouogang to the steep rock walls of sheer Paralizer that climb out of Kanangra River. These were particularly interesting to us because the next week about this time we hoped to be somewhere above them.
