Professor Griffith Taylor' s "Sydn eyside Scenery" is the best book written on the subject, to date, It gives a birdseye view of many of cur walking areas, including Canberra and Kosciusko, and should suggest new places to visit
-and features to look for. Read it and be inspired: Then turn to our excellent Club Map File, and -while you're there look up the Magazine Index - there' s something been written about most places.

 - Edna Garrad.
-The only social event for January is the slide night to be provided by Brian Harvey and Bill Rodgers on the 27th January, covering trips to the Castle mountain area.  This will be good'. (See Page 8 for details.)
-In the meantime we hope that members' private social erg agement s during the Christmas Festivdties will be very happy ones. Experienc e has shown that club attendances over the December and early January periods are usually low as 340 many folks are on holidays. We have some interesting evenings to look forward to in the New Year, including a talk by Palmer Kent on Japan. The older meMb ers will reneniber his very entertaining lectures same years ago. Palmer was in Jan in 1932 when he did a walking trip across the main islaad, and was there again in the recent typhoon, so he Should have plenty of material. Another highlight will be Bob Savage' s slides on India and Kashnair, which those who have already seen then describe as the "tops".
