-In my editorial last month I wrote about the Colong Committee, advising how bushwalker-shareholders in Blue Circle Cement could help-the Committee by endorsing their takeover cheques and donating them to the group.

This month I thought it appropriate to comment on how the Colong Committee will be spending that money. You may or may not have heard of the campaign to "Save the Border Ranges Rainforest". The aim of the campaign, which is being mounted by the Colong Committee in conjunction with the Border Ranges Preservation Society, is to save the last substantial sub-tropical rainforest in this State, situated in the eastern Macpherson and Tweed Ranges, right on the New South Wales-Queensland border. The objective is to establish the "Border Ranges National Park" which, as envisaged by the Committee, would extend from Mount Lindesay to the Tweed Range, where it would adjoin the Lamington Park. At present the area is under control of the Forestry Commission, in the form of Roseberry and Wiangarie State Forests. The Club's Conservation Secretary, Mr, Alex Colley, who is a member of the Colong Committee, has written a comprehensive article on this subject for publication in the National Parks Journal (Oct/Nov 1975). The article has been reprinted and copies are available from Alex, or from the Colong Committee (whose address is 18 Argyle Street, Sydney). The basic aims of the campaign are summarized thus:
