It was here in 1929 that I had a great experience, in that my Father took me with him on a two day business trip to the CoonaMble-Tooraweenah area, and so I had. my first view, of the Warrumbungles - little did I know then, that some 15 years later I would actually be bushwalking in the area, which has become so well-known now.

Butler, 20, daughter of popular S.B.T. member Dorothy and ex =mbar Ira, had been on many jaunts with S.B.W. as a visitor, and. bush walkers who had grown to know and admire her felt it as a personal tragedy. One could sense the tremendous amount of sympathy, not always expressed in so many words among S.B.17. members for the bereaved family. | + | |
