 I read in the July Edition of your notable publication of Alex Colley's trip to the land "Just Beyond the Bulldozers". Alex and his friends were impressed with the high quantity of natural values which the land held, with the wildlife and with the spiritual refreshment which the waterways, wide heaths and colourful shoreline endowed upon them.
-And so they should: for this land is the Nadgee Faunal Reserve dedicated to the "preservation, care, propagation and study of fauna" - all 28,000 acres.
+And so they should for this land is the Nadgee Faunal Reserve dedicated to the "preservation, care, propagation and study of fauna" - all 28,000 acres.
 Now I wonder why Alex didn't stress that point? To an ardent campaigner for Nature Conservation as I understand Alex to be, I would have thought this was the opportunity of opportunities - stressing how jubilant we would be to know that Nadgee is now held in perpetuity for the conservation of fauna and the natural environments in which they live. Perhaps he could have also stressed the responsibility that each and everyone of us - bushwalkers more than most - have to ensure its proper management  Here is a most opportune time to stir the laggard and the selfish pleasure seeking rambler by saying: "This place of beauty will not survive for tomorrow's children unless you and I are vigilant and active for nature conservation!"

 The lake track proved to be moderate walking through myrtle forest where the light is quite dim, in fact the weather turned fine without us knowing it. At last! We arrived at Cynthia Bay at 1 p m. feeling very hungry (and thirsty). Now we knew that the ranger here sold food, so his residence was our first stop. We asked for meat, bread and beer.
