 Ever heard of a rescue of a bushwalker?

-This well coordinated search and rescue operation relied partly on Bushwalkers of New South Wales Search and Rescue, which many who saw the news reports felt were not given due credit. But when it comes to the
 rough stuff in trackless bush and canyon, the fit and experienced walkers outshine most of the other members of the Volunteer Rescue Association.
-Fitness of a reasonable level and some off-track bush experience  are all that is needed to be of assistance on a "call-out"; you don't have to be an expert navigator or abseiler or superfit. You do have to be willing to be called out, but you can signify when, depending on your work. It is better to have your St.John's First Aid Basic Certificate - and you can get that knowledge at the Club's next instruction weekend in March 1986.

-Practice is a good idea as well. If you are on the S. & R. list, it makes you familiar with the 2-way radio and search techniques, and also up-dates you on new and better rescue techniques. A good example was demonstrated on the 19-20th October practice near Campbelltown; a group of ten has developed over the past two years a method of rescuing a person from a rock ledge which is unique. This very active group also showed us how to raise and lower a person on a stretcher in rough steep country. One method uses a rope and pulley with jumah, the other is handing the stretcher up from one group of six to the next, with a rope round a tree above only for safety, not pulling.

 These were two ways which Mike Reynolds and I found much less of a strain than carrying a stretcher up a steep slope as we did on an Easter trip in 1984.

-Coolana has again had non-member visitors, including a 4-wheel drive vehicle going past the gate. It will be moved at the next General Meeting that a welded barrier gate replace the existing unlocked gate. Use of the property is likely to snowball and develop into abuse.

-Trustees for Coolana will need to have all lots of land correctly recorded in their names; one advantage of an Incorporated Club would be that it would replace trustees as owner. Coolana would be owned by Sydney Bush Walkers Incorporated - a legal entity. This and other matters in relation to Incorporation will be discussed at the General Meeting in December; it is not a clearcut issue.
