-They say that if you walk for ten minutes away from the main road you find solitude, and it is very nearly true. Certainly you have to endure a stretch of populous highway, with a string of cars racing from point to point in the shortest possible time, bit once you turn down a side road, peace descends.
-They have built an ultra-modern school in the street I chose, in ground -where - - - there was once an old homestead and capacious stables to house six or seven vehicles. All that has been swept away, but an avenue of tall pines betrays the age of the place. To be sure, there is now a bituMened street where once was grass, but cones still drop on the turf sidewalks and the wind sighs as it always did through the pine-needles.

 In a verbal report on Federation matters, Geof Wagg told us that Myles Dunphy had had an interview with Water Board authorities on the possibility of including Eanangra Tops in the Blue Mbuntains National Park. The Board told him that it was the intenbionto police the area more thoroughly and perhaps close the Kanangra Road so as to exclude people from the catchment area. There was, however, hope, Myles thoughy, of permission for organised bodies to enter the area. A road had already
 been constructed to Medlow Gap and Cedar Creek. There was a large clearing there, which, Brian Harvey told us, was for landing helicopters carrying fire fighters.
