 Most members of the party covered the 30 kilometres with ease, but I'll respect the wishes of the poor unfortunate who felt almost every step, and not name them....	The same poor unfortunate had their sock gallantly retrieved after they'd dropped it during one of the two necessary crossings.
-The Turon had been in flood only a couple of weeks before, but now it is a serene stream with the occasional gentle rapid over the river 'stones. The banks were green and there was an abundance of wood for our morning teas, lunches and camps. Along the way we caught sight of a few kangaroos and many crimson and blue parakeets. The only minor detraCtion was the abundent and not easily visible tiger pear cactus, whose thorns were quite painful and hard to. extraot, if you were unlucky enough to step or put your hand on one.

-Bill's apparent disorganization, his mess of plastic Las and broken yogurt containers, and his holey jumpers and ;inside-out T-shirts, all disguise the brilliant qualities we look for and admire in a leader. I jest you not, and the Anzac Walk proved my point. Despite the difficulty of the Ettrema area, his navigation was "spot-on", and the error on Danjera Plateau was due to another party member's momentary misplacement. To this end, the article should be altered thus: Page 2 Line 30 "B" to read "Ph"

 We-cauld all take a lesson from his "economy of mofion" and navig.ational skills.	I look forward to more of Bill's walks, particularly in
 this beautiful area.
