The rest of the combined parties ambled the two miles or so upstream to the junction of Rocky Waterholes Creek. Mick gave us an instructional lecture on the way. At the Creek Junction the party again divided into the sheep and goats, Mick's mob followed Mick up a ridge to Coates Farm; our mob declared their determination to walk up Rocky Waterholes Creek for a few miles and then climb up the cliffs onto the tops. There were a few changes of personnel. We'd already lost Alan Hedstrong and Bill O'Neil, now We lost Geoff Goxsell too, but we gained prospective Peter Cameron. out of the bags in the morning.

-No sooner had Mick and his mob left our mob began exchanging shifty looks and furtive whispers. Such as "Michael Short and Scruffy Whitty made themselves overdue vainly trying to get up this creek", and "Let's have lunch here and then sneak up the ridge after Mick". I was shocked. We had lunch and then our leader stood on a large boulder and gave a short talk.  He told us of the proud history of the Club, of Gordon Smith, Jonathon Smythe, and Wilfe Hilder and all about George Washington and Horatio and all that. Everyone agreed to walk up the creek and we set off.+No sooner had Mick and his mob left our mob began exchanging shifty looks and furtive whispers.

 The boulders in Rocky Waterholes Creek were big as houses, and the cliffs either side were screamers. There was nothing to do but to keep pressing hopefully upstream. It was a noble effort on Kerry Hoare's part as it was her first hard walk. About 2 miles upstream a side stream cascaded into the Creek; this seamed to be a break. However the main sandstone cap here is underlain by a coal seam which, eroding in, forms a continuous overhang about 15' high. The stream fell over this overhang and a reconnoitre along the base of the cliff showed no break. We scrambled down to the creek again and walked a couple more miles up stream past the junction with Ironstone Creek. Here a larger side creek came in and prospectives Alan Barclay and Jim Jellybean scouted up and found a short chimney to the top. The boulders in Rocky Waterholes Creek were big as houses, and the cliffs either side were screamers.

 As we drove through Hilltop two luscious and frantic fems waved us to a stop. We'd seen one before, around Bill O'Neil on Friday night. "Is Bill in this car" she asked desperately. "No he's in that one over there" we said, pointing to Peter Cameron's. They rushed over. Don Finch tried to pretend he was Bill, but it didn't work. Bill was in the car behind us, he had it coming to him. As we drove through Hilltop two luscious and frantic fems waved us to a stop. We'd seen one before, around Bill O'Neil on Friday night.
