- | Still in Hugh Gorge. Actually it is the northern end, some three miles through the Chewings Range from the Alice Valley, that is the most dramatic part of all. Ni innocent-looking creek (when it runs) suddenly plunges into a dark, narrow rocky canyon with the most unbelievable colours and contours. The drop here to the permanent water is several feet and the view inside is restricted for the cleft quickly turns a corner - all in all, not an inviting spot for a first entry. The other end, however, terminates in a broad sunny pool with a sandy beach. It was here that we launched the li-b (don't sound so surprised!). Every well-equipped party in the arid interior carries a li-lo. The water was frigid and the sun could not penetrate that twisting chasm but such trivia could not stop our intrepid Shep - he was paddling out of sight into the unknown to shouts of last- minute advice from the gallery. Would we ever see him again? An eternity passed, then the ears picked up the feint lap-lapping of a paddled li-lo and our hero emerged, resplendent in his triumph. " | + | |

Photography is generally not recognised as having valuable potential as a creative family pastime that aids and helps promote efficient communication within the family unit. This is of great value in providing a visual record of the growth of the family, together with other passing events, which once passed and not recorded, are irretrievably lost, remaining only as vague and distant memories. | Photography is generally not recognised as having valuable potential as a creative family pastime that aids and helps promote efficient communication within the family unit.

A friend and I cooked up a trip to East Africa but abruptly plans changed and the next thing I know I'm flying out of London to Singapore. I was a plague to all my English friends as I distributed trunks and tea chests to any friend who had room (I left Oz. with one pack). Winding up my financial affairs was murderous, a bomb mini van to unload plus all the farewell pub evenings to contend with (I didn't know whether I was coming back or not). |

- | My next concern was the worthiness of the Aeroflot (Russian) plane, was to embark. I had read in the papers and friends were quick to tell me the number of Aeroflot planes that were crashing inside the U.S.S.R. with disconcerting regularity, but they seemed safe once away from the U.S.S.R. boundaries, or maybe such happenings were hushed up. However, Aeroflot offered the cheapest return ticket to London (235 pounds return), cheaper than 1 way charter flights by the scheduled airlines. It seemed that the agencies that could offer such amazingly cheap flights were run by Pakistanis and Indians. The catch comes when you want to trade in the return ticket; the guy 1 bought mine from was very evasive.
