 Since its inception, the Foundation has developed from receiving donations from the business community to the point where public appeals are conducted, a permanent membership has been developed and trading activities contribute to funds raised.

As bushwalkers, and users of National Parks, we should readily volunteer our services to such a cause. The opportunity to give voluntary help with almost assured payback in terms of benefit (ie. use of parklands acquired as a direct result of fund raising efforts) is a rare opportunity. It is hoped that as many bushwalkers as possible will lend their help.

Eggs assume a position of importance on the dietary scale in Nepal because of the protein deficient diet. Meat cannot be considered, for your appetite for meat diminishes in proportion to the inverse square of the number of times you see a "butcher's" shop. But with Lin, eggs almost became an obsession. Can you envisage her delight when after passing through an area of egg drought we got to the Phedi area where people rushed up to you in the oddest places, bearing their globular gifts in all sorts of carrying media, calling as they came, "Phul, phul?"

+A side excursion was made from Saleri to Chailsa, a Tibetan village where there are rooms and rooms of looms. For here they manufacture from Nepalese sheep's wool the most gorgeous carpets of many designs and colours. All these "factories" are owned and run by a company centred in Kathmandu. On the walls, in several places, were typed schedules setting out in meticulous detail the rates per so many threads in each design. At any moment I expected to hear a whistle blast and the cry "Everybody out!" Workers numbering from 2 to 8 sat at a loom "knotting" and singing, by all appearancee happily, as they worked. Others we saw trimming the pile and generally finishing off the completed carpets. We made a rough estimate of earnings and from memory it was about Rs 10-15 per day. A meal was provided during the day. About $A 1 a day. Makes you think, doesn't it?

This has to be either a colessal Nepalese (Sherpa) or Swiss joke or both, for the "Factory" is set on a hill halfway between Lamsangu and Lukla, 10,000 above sea level, 1,000 ft. above and off the main trail and not a cow in sight.

+At long last we were on the down hill run to Lamsangu. Run it was for when we could at last look down on Lamsangu there was the 9.00 a.m. bus. The driver blew his horn while I was still 2 or 300 yds. away. We got there 'by the skin of our teeth' and boarded breathlessly. The bus, crammed after a few pick-ups, coughed, wheezed, waggled and ground on its 6 hour journey rounded off by an hour-long climb up the long hill outside Kathmandu.

-go to the police station where an official coupon was filled out and stamped. And could you purchase the precious kg in Saleri? Certainly not. You had to take a half hour's walk to Daphu where after production of the official document, much scrutiny and the payment of Rs 3 (25 c) the cheenee was yours.
-A side Excursion was made from Saleri to Chailsa, a Tibetan village where there are rooms and rooms of looms. For here they manufacture from Nepalese sheep's wool the most gorgeous carpets of many designs and colours. All these "factories" are owned and run by a company centred in Kathmandu. On the walls, in several places, were typed schedules setting out in meticulous detail the rates per'so many threads in each design. At any moment I expected to hear a whistle blast and the cry "Everybody out!" Workers numbering from 2 to 8 sat at a loom "knotting" and singing, by all appearancee ilappily, as they worked. Others we saw trimming the pile and

-generally finishing off the completed carpets. We made a rough estimate
-of earnings and from memory it was about Pc 10-15 per day. A meal was provided during the day. About A 1 a day. Makes you think, doesn't it?
+Without wishing to blow the trumpet, I feel that in some small way I redeemed myself and won back some small portion of the lost honour of the Club. Lin decided she'd had enough trekking and so from Ghandrung she returned to Pokhara. After much discussion I had made up my mind to go it alone to Ghore Pani on to Birithante and back to Pokhara. I had four days maximum to do it; I decided to do it in three.

I had four days maximum to do it I decided to do it in three.
 This trek is usually done in the reverse order as the trail between Ghan. and Ghore P. is through an almost trackless forest and climbs some 4,000 ft., going over a pass at 10,000 ft. before descending to Ghore Pani. This is the first time in my walking career I had walked alone, and I have never felt so alone as I did in my 4 to 5 hours in that forest. Tracks petered out frequently and I had to resort to compass many times. However I made it to Ghore Pani in 7 hours. Climbed Poon Hill at sunrise for views of Machnapuckhare and the Annapurnas and got to Birithante in 5 hours. I was at Fewa Tal (Lake Fowa) near Pokhara the next afternoon.

+The meeting took off about 8.30 with a welcome to new member Judy Storer, and quite a deal of the discourse arose from the minutes, when we got down to discussing the 50th Anniversary events as a "matter arising". For the projected bush reunion, several places were suggested, including a hiring for the weekend of the Scout Camp at Pennant Hills. Others, including several quite senior members, favoured a "bushier" setting, and sites in Megalong Valley were put forward. Finally we did get a concrete motion, proposed by Barry Wallace, that Pennant Hills be adopted, so ensurieg that the really early members who wished to attend would not feel excluded: this was adopted, and we turned to the gustatory pleasures envisaged probably for the Friday night before the reunion.

+After very little preamble we had Bob Hodgson naming and later moving that the dinner be held at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club at Newport. This drew a mixed reception, with some averring it was too remote, particularly for south-elders who would need to drive home across the city at a late hour and possibly after some drinking, while others applauded the attractive setting and did not view the distance to travel as excessive. Prices in the order of $10.00 per head were mentioned and it was pointed out that it would be necessary to book for a guaranteed number. Owen Marks, arriving belatedly and learning the proposed site was Newport, exclaimed "madness", and the motion was lost after Barry Wallace foreshadowed a further motion that the question be explored in greater depth and resolved in November.

Some of the discussion focussed on the 50th Anniversary proposals, but clearly nothing could really be settled. On Sunday 11th, David Ingram had 23 people out to Woronora Trig and into Heathcote Creek, viewing some good bushflowers and finding the vegetation quite grown up along Myuna Creek.

Two day walks on the 19th each brought out 18 folk, with Victor Lewin recording a pleasant day on the Blackheath/Blue Gum country, while John Noble commented in a written report that there was some roughish, bushy going in places along Tunk's Creek out from Hornsby.

Of the two day walks, John Holly reported a nice day in the wildflowers around Tahmoor, finishing with a barbecue tea at Worrimbirra Sanctuary, and it was clear that Neil Brown's Berowra Creek walk had been done, but the details were offered by one of his party in a voice inaudible to the Press bench.
