 Dear Everybody,

 We had two extra days on the train at the expense of the Commonwealth Railways. As you would no doubt have guessed from Sydney weather forecasts we had quite an interesting trip to Adelaide and count ourselves very lucky to have been delayed only two days. The Murray Valley, of course, was impassable to everything but a helicopter and we finished up pussy-footing through the backblocks to Bendigo and on through Bordertown to Adelaide. In addition to being experts on which type of semi had the most comfortable seats, we are going to set up an information bureau on the ailments of sheep and the impossibility of growing wheat under present conditions. Didn't dare suggest that they (the farmers) might sow a crop of rice with excellent results!
-Adelaide was very disappointing to us both; it's rather a scruffy little city. (Dalai Lama please note! Ed.) I guess you couldn't guess in 1,000 years who walked up to us on an Adelaide street corner and talked for 2.5 hours solid? None other than our "silent gent in the corner "- Jim Weston.  He was himself returning from spending his holidays up north and well, 2 cups of coffee and 5 buses later we were on our way northward again.

+It did have its funny side and allowed us to show off at Hawker where we took a quick stroll in the Hawker hills. Being late also gave us a daylight view of the Flinders Range, normally passed at night. This blue range runs parallel with the railway --- wait a bit, that's unfair to old age --- the railway runs parallel with the range for some hundred odd miles and from local reports there are some very interesting spots in the ranges worthy of a visit. We learned that at the end of August square miles of country form a veritable flower garden absolutely covered with Salvation Jane (blue) and Red Hop (of course, red). All we Could do, of course, was "-oo" at somebody else's slides! Sheets of flowers with the blue ranges as a backdrop would be a sight truly memorable. These ranges were really the most interesting part of the trip up; after that comes miles of flat plain with intermittant shrubs, then when Ooodnadatta is about 20 miles off you cop the blinding glare off the gibber plains and these continue well beyond Oodnatlatta with its tiny group of houses with the inevitable pub. Whilst the men went in for a "quickie"; Joan and I walked out of town, a very quick and easy walk, and came back to the train. Then on and on over miles and miles of flat country with its patches of red and yellow sand well sprinkled with gibber stones until you were sick of the sight of it. Up on the bunks to play "Jack's grab", and then an even better and more adult game - "Animal grab" - down again and miles and miles more of flat plain until bed and the welcome dusk.
+We are both anxiously waiting the return of our first films, Joan to check the results and me because I've been trying to be smart - not too smart I'm hoping - and we expect either a thumping great 20 good shots or a dazzling bunch of flops.

 A rather mixed bag of walking this month, again; rain has hampered quite a few trips and no doubt deterred some of the walking people.
 Bev. Pricers caving trip drew a complete blank to start off the month. The leader is in Central Australia with Joan Walker and there was no enthusiasm amongst others in the club to set out for the cave trip. Score O.
