 The order of march was now reversed - the idea being to reach Newnes, bring the cars up and so save Lyndsey the last four miles walk. On Dot's request a member of the Catholic Bushwalkers tho had his car at the tunnel, drove back and brought Lyndsey down to inspect the tunnel after which he drove her out to Bell. We lunched on the valley side of the tunnel and then walked down the line until we reached the road leading to the farm. Dot demonstrated her maternal responsibility in an unusual may  From the time we left the pine forest she clearly marked our way with large arrows muttering as she drew them "You can't trust Duncan, he'd go astray anywhere". Curiosity gaining the upper hard we asked - why her interest in Bob. "Well," answered Dot, constructing a great timber arrow pointing towards the valley "Rona is with him and I don't want her to miss school tomorrow". A lift to the pub spared us the last four miles roadbash also and speeded up our move out. With the exception of my car taking a rest on the steepest part of the road out and holding up half a dozen cars the run to Katoomba was uneventful.
