-The meeting commenced at 820 p.m0 with the Presidenh, Brian Harvey,in the Chair, and about 30 members present. Apologies were received from Paul Barnes and Heather Joyce. The President extended a welcome to Jim Cuthbertson, a visitor from the ErMane Bushwalkel: and to Ron Knightley who has come back to live in Sydiloy and is looking forward to some walking.
-Jack Gentle said he had been in touch with Ansett Al.rvays. Company wag now prepared to go anywhere and Clubs wo-2e advisod to get together if they wished to take advantage of the dcant offcrc and discuss it with Mr. Brown, one of the Company cfficials.
-. The Federation report raised the question of whether the Feder'&1- tion Reunion should be continued. Frank Ashdown moved a motion to effect that we should instruct our delegates to tell the Federption
-.
-that, because Federation had no policy for controning its members, it was desirable that the reunion be no longer held. He said that, because Federation would not take action, the older members would no longer bring friends or children. Grace Aird said that the reunion was for young bushwalkers who liked to can together. They enjoyed themselves and their behaviour wasn't objectionable to other young
-members. Frank /bung supported this, saying that a lot of younger
-members turned up, If Federation gave it up they would still meet together and camp, and it was better to have the reunion under Federation control. John White thought it was very important that the Clubs gettogether even though there were many of the older members who didn't enjoy the reunions. Jack Wren said the trouble had been
-recurring for some half dozen years. It wasnot alcohol, but the
-way it was consumed that was the trouble. Drinkers who couldn't hold their liquor were a bad influence. As.they could not be con, trolled we would be better off without them. In his reply Frank Ashdown said that it-was not a sound argument that the reunion should be for young members. Once it was well attended by both young and
-old. There was no letting down of tents and beating of tins. We
-should re-unite as walkers, not as larrikins and hooligans. The Motion was lost, but a motion by Jack- Gentle that s#rick instructions should be given to Clubs that liquor should not be abused, and people were expected to behave themselves, was passed. Jean Harvey said that delegates should ask Federation to try to make the Clubs more sociable at reunions. Dave Brown suggested that it was held at the wrong time of the year. If it were held at the end of the walking season, instead of straight after the S.B.W. reunion, many more S.B.Wts, might go. Brian Harvey explained that it was once held thell but clashed with the period of intensive study and examinations for many young walkers. If held later there was a risk of a ban on fires in the open. In April it clashed with Easter mdin winter it was too cold  Jim Brown thought that, nevertheless, the opinions of delegates might now have altered. He moved that the question of the date be reintroduced in Federation. The motion was carriedc,
-Jim Hooper said that the S. and R. exercise in collaboration
-with the Amateur Radio Club was successful, It proved the limitatior, of wireless gear in wet weather. Some of the amateur radio operators had offered to go on searches.
-The next subject of discussion was wether or not to spend 3 On decorations for the Christmas party. Geof Wagg said he was strongly against the proposal; 3 was far too much to spend on
-balloons which went off pop, whenalasting asset like a duralumin ladder could he had for only 5. Jack. Wren thought we should donate
-towards decorations, give Geof Wagg 2 towards the 3adder, and let him decorate the hall. Bob Abernethy pointed out that we could

-Brian Harvey put to the meeting the question of whether shirts

+The meeting commenced at 8.20 p.m. with the President, Brian Harvey, in the Chair, and about 30 members present. Apologies were received from Paul Barnes and Heather Joyce. The President extended a welcome to Jim Cuthbertson, a visitor from the Brisbane Bushwalkeres, and to Ron Knightley who has come back to live in Sydney and is looking forward to some walking.
+Jack Gentle said he had been in touch with Ansett Airways. The Company was now prepared to go anywhere and Clubs were advised to get together if they wished to take advantage of the discount offers and discuss it with Mr. Brown, one of the Company officials.
+The Federation report raised the question of whether the Federation Reunion should be continued. Frank Ashdown moved a motion to effect that we should instruct our delegates to tell the Federation that, because Federation had no policy for controlling its members, it was desirable that the reunion be no longer held.

+Jack Wren now raised the question of the crashes and bangs which in recent years had accompanied our meetings. They were caused by people sitting on tables not meant to be sat on. It was an irresponsible, childish and moronic practice, and after much repetition became stale. The tables now had metal braces and there was ample seating accommodation. He moved that all members must sit on proper seats towards the front of the meeting or leave the room. Frank Ashdown was in favour of a show of strength by the responsible, grown up and intelligent. Frank Young said that people sat on the tables at the back because they came late and couldn't see over people's heads. The crashes were not intentional. The motion was carried.

+We had visited the Porongorups, a small range offering easy access and walking, on a long weekend last year. The range lies further south (about 20 miles north of Albany) than the Stirlings; but the views obtained of that range served to further strengthen the resolve, and we set Easter as the time for the trip. The range lies 230 miles south of Perth and runs in an east-west direction for about 40 miles. The highest peak is Bluff Knoll (3,292'), W.A.'s second highest and is situated on the eastern end of the range. Maps of the area are practically non-existent. An army survey map of 4 miles to the inch yielded little detail, but enquiries in various and numerous quarters revealed that there was a road to the farm of a Mr. Cooper near the Knoll itself.

+Unfortunately Peter could not came with us and so on Good Friday we set off from Perth in the Holden Utility with another interested couple. Lunch on a gravel road running between Porongorups and Stirling Ranges, then a quick look at Chester Pass which crosses the range through a low saddle. The range itself is spectacular and vaguely reminiscent of the Warrumbungle and McPherson Ranges - a low main range with violent upthrusts of decomposed quartzite dominated on the western end by Mt. Toolbrinup and the eastern end by Bluff Knoll and Ellen's Peak. Viewed from Chester Pass, Bluff Knoll looks like a cresting wave and this is probably its most spectacular aspect. From the south it merges with another two peaks and loses its individuality. The road to Cooper's farm was located and there ensued 16 miles of road which could well have been included in the Redex Trial. The height of the range in otherwise flat country makes distance deceptive and we were surprised to find from Mr. Cooper that it was 8 miles from the farm to the foot of the range. During our conversation we learned that the Knoll had been climbed first by his parents in the early twenties and he pointed out the route which they had taken as far as he could remember. There was a track in for 8 miles and another party had just gone in driving a 3-ton ex-army Blitz waggon.

-attempt from the south by inclement weather last year.
 As a matter of interest to web-footed walkers in Sydney, we had had one day's rain in 5 months up till Easter and consequently carried water with us, although there was a small creek running further up in the range.
- Saturday morning saw us on our way, the four others having left earlier - a wise move as it later transpired. Prom the farm, the range appeared to be covered in low button grass after the main belt
-a of timber, but closer examination made us sadder and wiser. Thick scrubby trees about 8 ft. high cut vision to a minimum and the steep slope made going very slow. For some three hours we pushed up Ldhrough the scrub and eventually broke out into closely packed knee deep bushes which made every step an effort. It was well after 2 p.m0 when the summit was reached and with the thought of sunset and being benighted, the really magnificent view was somewhat short- lived. Away to the south were the Porongorups, insignificant now from the Knoll; further again, the south coast in the hazy distance Toolbrinup to the west, Ellen's Peak to the east (it being noted that the Peak would be a rope job) and the almost sheer drop on the north side down to the rolling plains.
