 One is that firefighters must first assemble at a central depot, then converge on a fire as a team. The other is that police must block off all roads to avoid confusion that sight-seers-create. But the battle against the Red Terror the No. 1 weapon is public education - simply because 94 per cent of all bush fires are man-made.

 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.

+On l September last, Bill Rowlands was killed; when a gun he was cleaning went off accidentally
 Members who have not been active in club affairs recently would not have
 met Bill as he had only been a member for one year. He was one of the ones  initiated at the last Reunion, Bill came to the Club a pretty raw recruit (he carried water on his first walk) and had some rather colourful ideas of bushwalking in general, However he was very keen to learn and the twelve months of his membership saw a big change in his bushwalking technique.
 Quiet, unassuming and reserved it was not easy to get to know Bill, but when one did5 it was to be impressed by his principles and sincerity.
