 The proposed trip was Mount Wanganderry (off the Wombeyan Caves Road), along the tops to Belloon Pass and down to the Nattai to camp. Then back up the Nattai and return to Mt. Wanganderry via the Surveyor's Crag.

 At Mittagong, we stopped at Mike Short's grandparents' cottage where we were plied with tea and toast made before an open fire. After thanking our hosts for their hospitality we set off again, turning into

 On turning off the Caves Road we saw that Joan Rigby's party, which was going via Wanganderry Greek and Rocky Waterhole's Creek to Hill Top, was about to bed down for the night. Joan warned us about the six inches of slush which lay on the road ahead. We were relieved to find that she had been pulling our leg, and after opening and closing five more gates, we eventually came to David Cotton's utility and tent, where we camped the night.

On climbing the big green hill we could see the little green hill from which we entered into what was left after the bushfire of last summer. We made good time until Pat Harrison pointed out that we should not be going west. After finding the right ridge we carried on. (Raining). We then came to a confusing piece of country. Pat headed out along a west running ridge, Mike in another direction, to see what they could see. Pat returned with reports of the sighting of something vaguely resembling Bonnum Pic, but very obscure due to the mist. If it was indeed the peak, we knew just where we wee.

 Fifteen minutes' walking confirmed all. We now entered the region of large outcrops of bare rock which made navigation impossible, but happily provided us with an overhang for a lunch spot. Two independent forays for water were both successful so we were able to make a large billy of tea. (Raining). We set off after carefully dousing the fire. The prospective, Rhonda Willis, was very impressed by our solicitude.
