+In order to satisfy curiousity, I can advise that the S.B.W./Dungalla day will be Saturday 11th. September.
+====Walks for July.====
+===Test Walks:===
+|2,3,4|Mt. Victoria - Victoria Falls - Grose River - Bluegum Forest - Grand Canyon - Blackheath. Feature spots are the Victoria Falls, Bluegum Forest and Grand Canyon. Last I heard, Hans Beck was rushing to the National Parks and Wildlife Service for the necessary permit.|
+|9,10,11|Adama Lookout - Bungonia Gorge - Shoalhaven River - Blockup - Mt. Beck - Adams Lookout. His third attempt, Stephen Knightley will lead all comers through this delightful country, full of ancient steep, deep valleys.|
+|18|Waterfall - Neram Ridge - Polana Brook and cave - Cliff Track - Otford. Includes scrub-bashing between easy walks with good scenic views from Polana Brook. Ray Carter leads.|
+|23,24,25|Carlon's Farm - Carlon's Head - Clear Hill - Wombat Parade - Splendour Rock - Blue Dog - Cox's River - Tin Pot Track - Carlon's Farm. Colossal view to Kanangra Walls from one of the finest vantage points in the Blue Mountains: Splendour Rock. Some scrub bashing to Carlon's Head. Leader is Ron Knightley.|
+|30,31,1|Carlon's Farm - Breakfast Creek - Mt. Jenolan - Guouogang - Konangaroo Clearing - Galong Creek - Carlon's Farm. Another walk in the Blue Mountains this time led by Snow Brown.|
+===Weekend Walks:===
+|9,10,11|Patoney's Crown - Tyan Pic. Friday night camp in places unknown. First day: ice breaking, rock scrambling to the top of Patoney's Crown (mesa). Second day: climb with gardening gloves and jeans to the top of Tyan Pic - it's a bit scratchy up there. Ask Ray Hookway to escort you to these two magnificent 360° views in the Capertee area.|
+|17,18|Rocklily Ridge - Lawson Ridge. Peter Miller says it's down the track, across the creek and up the other side. Good luck.|
+===Day Walks:===
+|4|Cowan - Bulwa Ridge - Berowra Creek. Spend a quiet Independence Day with Margaret Reid in pleasant bush surroundings close to Sydney.|
+|11|Mt. Hay Road - Lockley's Pylon - Bluegum Forest - and return. Excellent views of the Grose Valley and waterfalls plus beautiful Bluegum. Vic Lewin leads this not difficult up and down walk.|
+|18|Cowan - Jerusalem Bay - Porto Bay Creek - Railway Dam - Brooklyn. A good walk with a bit of railway history. Led by Roy Braithwaite.|
+|25|Glenbrook - Campfire Creek - Ironbarks - Euroka - Mt. Portal - Glenbrook. Euroka Clearing is easily the best picnic spot I have seen. The Blue Mountains bush is beautiful too. See John Holly for details.|
+|25|Stanwell Park - Coastal Track - Otford. Tony Denham leads the only seaside walk of the month.|
+|Aug. 1|Woodford - Upper Glenbrook Creek - Sassafrass Gully - Numantia Creek - Linden. If you can't come on this one, see me anyway - I need walks for the Spring programme.|
+|Aug. 1|Waterfall - Waratah Hill - Tukawa Rill - Engadine. The walk is easy, the bush pleasant, the occasional view enchanting, but unless you are a camel, bring your own water for lunch. Meryl Watman is good company too.|
+===Ski Trips:===
+|3,4|Guthega Pondage - Mt. Twynam - Blue Lake - Watson's Crags - Little Twyham - Guthega Pondage. Dust off those skis. Pat McBride is skiing, with a camp at Blue Lake. This trip is not for those who have never seen snow.|
+----
+====S.B.W. Epicurians.====
+All members and non-members of the Sydney BushWalkers Gourmandizers and Epicurian Club are advised that:
+**Dinner before the next General Meeting on Wednesday 14th. July will be at Lombardo's Restaurant, 435 elizabeth Street Sydney, near Central Station. Food is Italian style.
+Time: 6.00 p.m.
+For those who are not acquainted with this activity, it is simply a matter of eating out before monthly general meetings with fellow bushwalkers. If you have any enquiries, contact Peter Miller, whose telephone number is 95.2689.
+----
+====Calling all skiers.====
+Winter is here. Some snow has fallen on the Snowy Mountains and 'langlaufers', or cross-country skiers, are beginning to head south on tours. "Others" resolve to discover the reason for the fanatical behaviour of the ski touring bods.
+Rather than write a long dissertation on the practical side of ski touring, prospective cross country skiers could ring me for information at 47.2186 (Monday to Thursday most nights).

+====Correction.====
 Peter Harris has advised us of what he refers to as a "big blunder" regarding maps in his article "Fiordland For Us Aussies" published some issues ago in the Sydney Bushwalker.
 Peter advises:
-" The entire area of Fiordland National Park has been covered by 26 topographic maps, at the scale 163360, since the first editions were published in 1974. These maps may be obtained at the Lands Department, Invercargill; or at Park Headquarters, To Anau.
-The following are the maps requ red for track coverage:
-Milford Track - N2MS 5122, N2M5 51130 N2MS 5131, IT2MS 5121. Routeburn Track - N2MS 5122.
-Morain Creek - N2MS 3122.
-George Sound Track - N2MS 5130..
-Dusky Sound.- Lake Hauroko N2MS 3157, N2MS 5158.
