-Most people have hobbies. Some people count bushwalking as a baby. But what do bushwalkers do for a hobby? Idiot types of bushwalkers have a list of mountains they have climbed, canyons that have been descended or similar rare and wonderful deeds that they themselves hold quite important yet others deem as mad. 19 too, have an achievement that is quite unique, yet one that has come upon me quite by accident.
-I suppose it all started in Burma. I had booked a three day boat rideup the Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to Mykina, and suffering from brain disease at that time, I went first class. I would sit all alone under a canvas awning on the captain's bridge and with a waiter in a
-stardhed white uniform and would eat off a starched white tablecloth. I would see Burma passing by whilst eating and drinking water from cut glass tumblers. A succession of dirty villages, seediness all around. At night the boat would pull up at some wharf and I'd walk around and talk to all and sundry. I was asked home by a local and when I walked in the mother laughed so much she was rolling around the floor in pain. She had seen us coming and it reminded her of the legend of the black and white swan. I never found out what the legend was. Anyway in three days the boat was arriving at Mykina, which is quite close to the Chinese border, when I was down at the back of the ship and I saw the cook bringing up buckets of river water. You have guessed correctly) that is what I had been drinking the whole trip. I never knew it then, but it was the beginning. My hobby ..... Famous Rivers I Have Drunk.
-In Egypt lies the Everest of River Drinkers. The Nile starts in
-two places - Uganda and Ethiopia. Both Blue and White Nile pass thousands
-of towns until they converge at Khartoum. Then through the Sudan, down
-the cataracts until Egypt is reached. Lake Nasser extends from the
-border to Luxor where the famous dam is. At Luxor I shall start my story.
-I was the only passenger of European complexion on the 3rd class section, which happens to be a long punt that is pulled by a boat complete with engine and houses the first class riff-raff. Even though I was first aboard the punt when it arrived all the crew sold spaces to the passengers. This they'd do by spreading out carpets. There was a space
-about one foot wide with no carpet on it and my sleeping bag was there
-in 20 seconds, and I lay down immediately. Fait accomplit. I wasn't
-very popular. The train arrived from Cairo snd the punt was overloaded by the wildest looking mob in history. My section of the punt was then
-occupied by a family of throe camel traders, who would place their own carpets down and await the trip. They were quite remarkable. It
-turned out that they had sold 1000 camels which they had driven down from the Sudan to Cairo or somewhere. I asked how much camels were
-worth' in Cairo 100 each it seems. Times 1000 = a small fortune. They were armed and as well had curved knives on their upper arms under their robes. They had no fear from me, so they became quite friendly. I gave them my eyedrops, but the oldest started to drink it. I told
-him to lay down and I would drop in the liquid. He was very frightened
-and I think he thought I was going to kill him. I was down on the
-carpet on my back and he was shouting in Arabic and jumping on my stomach. His sons pulled him off me and I gazed at the ruins passing by and brushed off this incident.

-Abu Simbel ahead, and the boat pulled in and I was the only 3rd class person off. There were two New Zealanders, retired, from 1st class plus four or five Nubian types. Abu Simbel was swarming with Swedish engineers with 2 ft0 long syringes that they were injecting into the porous stone that makes up this rock cut temple. (If you cast your mind back, this was the temple that was to have been jacked up to avoid being flooded. It finally was cut up and rebuilt with U.N. help on a cliff above its old site.) Myself and Kiwis wandered around with these Swedes as our guides and we all had a wonderful time. Going out into the sunshine, we were flabbergasted. The boat was gone. No toot, no nothing. There going upstream and rounding the bend was our transport.
-The Kiwis laughed and said "They will return soon". Two hours later they weren't so sure. What to do? A 20 mile walk along the river bank to a road where a jeep could take us down to the Sudan border, where the boat would be and the Sudanese railway began. But first how about a nice cold drink? We would have to walk all night as it would be too hot etc. The train went once a week, and who would know if all our baggage would be stolen. Yes, a cool drink would be most grateful. From the hessian bag came cool water that was like an angel weeing over my heart. Yes it came direct from the Nile. I went down with one of the scientists to refill it. They have been drinking it all the year and they say it is pure. It can't be seeing how it flows through all that filth, but they had no effects. Neither did I. Three hours after we had been stranded a toot was heard and our boat was coming back. My oamel-trading friends had missed me the moment the ship had sailed_ but the captain had refused,to turn back for them (Me, actually). Later on during 1st class afternoon tea time the Kiwis were missed and the captain was really frightened of three foreigners having to wander around the bleak border regions alone without any security, so back he came.

-We were paraded before the captain like naughty children and I was asked to join in a meal 1st class. I asked the waiter if the water was from the Nile because I could recognise the taste. We laughed and I went back to my friends. I always have happy memories of Abu Simbel nowadays there is a hydrofoil express service and it's all changed.
-In the U.S.A. is the state of Montana. A lovely part of the world and the beginnings of the Missouri. I was hitching and the driver said, "How about a drink of the Missouri?" The road passed over a little creek, a crystal clear stream with its label "Missouri River". If an American is willing to drink water from a creek you can be assured it is purer than melting snow. That's how easy the Missouri was. The Mississippi was only slightly more difficult.. I was hitching from Canada and my first night was at Leech Lake. This was the source of the Mississippi (which I never knew until I came across it) and I drank from the clear waters. I didn't see anyone drinking, as the camp site had tank water, but it was crystalline and cold.
+In Egypt lies the Everest of River Drinkers. The Nile starts in two places - Uganda and Ethiopia. Both Blue and White Nile pass thousands of towns until they converge at Khartoum. Then through the Sudan, down the cataracts until Egypt is reached. Lake Nasser extends from the border to Luxor where the famous dam is. At Luxor I shall start my story.
-In Switzerland the River Drinker can knock Off the Rhine and Rhone
-in only a few hours of walking, or with a car in half an hour. There is a pass called the Purka. On one side is the Rhone, the other the Rhine. Both are drinkable and indeed it is THE thing to do. While I will admit that the Beautiful People and Jetsetters are noted by their absence, groups of tourists in V.W.s and cyclists drink from the snow and glacier fed streams. I was cycling around Switzerland and the only water available *s what was by the roadside. These passes are quite high and steep and I was always hot. And when there is such magnificent scenery and gushing streams to guzzle, it is no trouble at all to add to one's list of Rivers.

-all the way from Tibet. Early one morning we all walked down to the steps near the tilted submerged temple. Let me describe the surroundings.

-DAVID3S BEE WALK, SEPTEMBER 1975.
 by David Cotton.
 This little trip attracted 52 people, quite a remarkable effort considering that they had organised transport arrangements themselves as I was rather busy at the time. Whilst people were arriving and getting settled down to do a little relaxing in the sun, I was rushing around tidying up the place, putting the door on the toilet and getting organised.
-The show began in a rather confused vein, as I
-had mislaid my set of notes and had to work from a set of 'roughs from the beekeeping book that I was writing. After the practical demonstration morning tea was organised and a large crowd of people bustled around my little garden kitchen boiling up billys of tea and looking like a swarm of bees around a honey pot. During morning tea about 12 pounds of honey comb was consumed together with 4 large brown loaves of bread and half a pound of butter.

-my little humpy, When I am busy, housework slips sadly to the bottom of my job list, and besides, housework is not an area in which I shine.

 All in all it was a rather hurried business and we could have done with at least another hour to have really enjoyed the pleasant walking conditions, weather and scenery.
-I was amazed that no one had become lost on the walking part of the trip 9 quite a lot of people were observed scrambling out of the bush in many different places and some were even caught disapearing along wrong tracks and ridges.
-An added bonus for the finish of the trip was a visit to the 'Burnett's' cacti establishment where an unbelievable variety of cacti are on display, ( from memory, I think there were over 12.000 different
-varieties on display). Quite a few people indulged in modest purchases of rare and exotic cacti in small
-square pots. This was a tremendous finish to what I felt had turned out to be a very exciting and pleasant day.

 To be held on Sunday 291h August at Glenburnie Orchard, Darkes Forest.
 The program will begin at 9-30 am., with a short discussion on the social and biological life of the honey bee. This will be followed by a practical demonstration of inspecting a bee hive.
 Morning tea will be provided consisting of bread, butter and honey-comb fresh from the hive. Please bring your own cup.
-After morning tea a short easy walk will be undertaken down 0', area Oreek via a picturesque waterfall and through a delighttialarea of natural bushland where a lunch break will be enjoyed at one of the many tranquil pools along the way.
-HOW TO GET THERE.
+After morning tea a short easy walk will be undertaken down 0'Hares Creek via a picturesque waterfall and through a delightful area of natural bushland where a lunch break will be enjoyed at one of the many tranquil pools along the way.
