 I looked around to see the pink being carefully concealed with aid of S.B.W. badge. (Good editor, don't you think it's sacrilege to use the badge thus. I suggest a new ruling to the constitution be drawn up covering the places and use or abuse of the badge by the wearer.)

 Canvas covers were placed over the trucks when going up the steep section to the Engine Bank to prevent spilling the shale on the 45 grade. Some of the trucks used were of steel construction, semi-circular in shape, measuring 4'6" long x 3' wide, 2'3" deep and made by Robert Hudson Limited, of Sheffield, England.

 With the start of the mines a number of settlements sprang up. At the Engine Bank there were three streets of cottages owned by the "A.K.O.", and the Centennial Hotel conducted by Mr. Harry Edwards. The Hotel retained its license for many years and was later known as the Falls House Boarding Establishment. There was also a store run by an Irishman named Murphy.

 LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
-Dear Mr. clitor,
+Dear Mr Editor,
-Allen Strom has read some unintended meanings into my article on Nexigee ("Just Beyond the Bulldozers"), so perhaps I had better elaborate, dull though this may be to your readers.
+Allen Strom has read some unintended meanings into my article on Nadgee ("Just Beyond the Bulldozers"), so perhaps I had better elaborate, dull though this may be to your readers.
 I didn't stress that Nadgee is a Faunal Reserve, because it has been stressed many times in the magazine, and those interested in such matters know it. Nor was it relevant to my theme, which was that the tide of exploitation (or "development") as we like to call it) spreading along the coast from Sydney and Melbourne had, as yet, barely lapped the South-east corner. If it were not for its remoteness and lack of good soil, Nadgee mould have been alienated, cleared, and perhaps subdivided, before now. And then there -wouldn't have been Buckley's chance of having it made a Faunal Reserve.
 As it is it will be developed as a park. The first job will be to clear the old timber road in from Ebrrika Creek. At a later stage the road will be tar sealed. And the time may come when a high speed road will be carved through it (as through National Park) so that tourists can enjoy its beauties without letting up on the accelerator. Tracks must be cut, shelter sheds erected and, possibly a bit later, kiosks, bathing sheds, hostels and other facilities provided. As Allen says, manpower and money will be needed (he doesn't mention the bulldozers, but they will be there). I don't think the lack of money will hold up these improvements for long. Nei- could any "vigilance" on my part prevent it. Once these places are publicised the money is found (e g. Kanangra). That is why I advise walkers to go soon, before the roads, tracks and buildings are constructed.
