-"A True  Bushlover".
-Hilda Irene Stoddard was an untiring, and unceasing worker for all things of The Bushland. She was forever helping people to love The Bush. "Stoddy" was quite wonderful in the way she made and marked tracks for the Youth Hostellers at Ktringai Chase. It did one's soul good to see this frail woman, skipping from rock to rock tying scraps of rags to twigs, and then later organising a working bee to make a track.

-I remember on another occasion camping with her in a large cave. This was to be found below the West Head Road immediately opposite "the first peep of the Havkesbury- River Bridge". She had brought with her some young folk, and we spent the next day enjoying the wild flowers, which were then at their best. Her interest and enthusiasm fired the imagination of these youngsters.

 His two charges are really one  we must not agree to the wanton killing of wallabies, snakes, wildflowers, trees and even human beings, and with this thought, I wholly agree.
 However, his use of Article III of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights is in actuality his basic reason substantiating why 'we shall be guilty of hypocrisy in the highest degree."
 I am, however; a trifle puzzled: if "everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person", is one particular human who happens to have an arrow accurately aimed at him by another human, being hypocritical or

 Audrey Kenway's recent walk to Era was notable, apart from the company, for copious quantities of rain, mud and leeches.
 Camped at Era, the plump well-fed walkers were attacked by hordes of leeches, and so bitter was the conflict; one anonymous member of the party was forced to express him (or her) self in verse.
