+By Xmas morning I'd a helluva thirst.
+I minded the time, when inspecting Wood's Creek,\\

Go out for a ieek-end and you'll' be full of ideas of what you could have done with a day or two extra.
-This is fty-public holidays are so popular with bUshwalkers (the country will really" go to the pack if any blishies eirer get into parliament). That extra day or two permit a variety of walks ordinarily out Of reach. These-are the threepences in the-bushwalking pudding. The Xmas periOd ig the daddy of them all. With alpit of fasttalking, a fe* lies to the boss or a forged sick leave certificate, most of us C2Xiwangie 7 or 8 days straight, and this really opens up some vistas!
-If youare in th1s6ategory, and haven't any ideas of your who you'll find plenty of interesting possibilities available. All "club" walks. over this period are pi;ivately-arranged, but if you ate young and attractive, pleasant cotpany, and/or a-rea6onable walker (in that order), you should have no trouble joining up with One of the bunches, But don't make the mistake Of rushing up to the leader you select and-shoUting breathlessly "Can I come on-your walk?" There is a certain-rigid prOtocol to be observed when urging in on A private walk. First find your leader. 'He will inevitably befound standing, talking, map in hand, garrounded by a stall fish-eyed group (who probably have no intention Of going oh the ruddy walk, arid aren't interested anyway). Join the outskirts
-of this group and listen in (or make a fair pretence of so doing).
-After half an hour-or go depending upon the ability and practice of the leader, he will start to slow down and perhaps even permit an interjection or two. This invatiably breaks the hypnotic spell and the mob will begin to drift away. Now is your chance: -Sidle in closer and cloger until you find the - leader's glazed eyes occasionally peering through-you.
