-"RHYMES OF THE TIMES".
+===== "Rhymes Of The Times". =====
 by Jim Brown.
 For the 1986 Reunion Campfire a sketch called "Rhymes of the Times" was prepared. It dealt - mostly in a light-hearted fashion - with the current proposals before S.B.W. for Insurances and also our "Incorporation" under recently enacted State legislation. Amongst the points made in support of Incorporation is the fact that we could register our Club name, so making it inviolate if (for example) a sporting goods shop wanted to call itself "The SydneyBushwalker Supply".
-We are probably jealous of our name, because when the Club decided to call itself "The Sydney Bush Walkers" in December, 1927, THIS WAS THE FIRST KNOWN USE OF THE TERM "BUSH WALKER" TO DESCRIBE OUR PARTICULAR GAME. The term is now used widely by the media, and has even got into the Macquarie Dictionary.

The term is now used widely by the media, and has even got into the Macquarie Dictionary.
 One of the songs in the Reunion sketch (rather more serious than the rest) was called "Name of the Game", and used the traditional English melody "Liliburlero".

 by Helen Gray.
-"If it was such a good trip, why don't you write it up for the magazine?" said Ainslie, failing to disguise the tone of desperation of an S.B.W. editor. Thus I am writing fragmented bits of what I hope is useful information for anyone planning a similar trip, rather than a trip story.
-(For two reasons. Firstly, the typist wants it yesterday and, secondly, the cast was so many and varied - in both
-numbers and types - I can't do justice to them as personalities and friends.)
-We started our walk at Potato Point, a small coastal holiday-type settlement
-due east of Bodalla, and finished at Picnic Point near Bithry Inlet (or Lake Wapengo). The walking distance was about 85 km,
-spread over 5i days. The party varied from 19 to 12 persons throughout the trip.
-Country towns - Avoid them or use them?
-Cm or two of the regular coastChristmas-trip-walkers declined to come this time because of the amount of "civilisation" to be walked through, in particular the towns of Bermagui and Narooma. However, this proved to be an
-advantage for some; those who would have been excluded from most trips because they couldn't start on Boxing Day, or had to return to work earlier than New Year's Day, were able to meet us/leave us at appropriate
-towns and times. This meant, of course,
-that the trip had to be well-timed, and certainly car swapping needed some extra thought, but it did mean the pleasure of the company of friends I would otherwise not have walked with. By having one food-
-party I was able to put food parcels in various cars, so that for the first two days we had light packs, and when at Narooma we met Barbara Evans we collected her plus the next two days food. When
-Jo van Sommers and three others left us on Sunday we were able to collect from that car three days food for the remaining 12 people for the last few days. (For those questioning my arithmetic, there
-were many other comings and goings that I've not mentiond.)

The road distance must be almost double the walking distance of 85 km along the beaches, as a glance at a map will show, so the returning car (in our case, George's) did probably 300 km before the walk began. Two of our party used the bus service, which has a lot to recommend it. Buses tie in with the trains which terminate at Bomaderry, near Nowra.

-Highlights.
+This is a beautiful stretch of coast, so comparisons are between good, better or best! The section near Tilba Tilba was quite beautiful. We walked along a farm road on the cliff top, with views of the sea to our left, to our right a lake, and beyond the grassed hills of dairy farms with the backdrop of Mount Dromedary.

+My favourite area was south from Murrah Lake, particularly Goalen Head, a wide grassy headland from which there are views up and down the coast. Just beyond the headland are some of the most beautiful secluded beaches you could ever hope to find. The rolling farmlands now give way to the natural vegetation and more rugged coastline of Mimosa Rocks National Park. Here we were forced to climb inland over a low range before dropping to the next beach, Aragunnu, where we camped. A couple of hours in the bush made a nice change after days of sand, rocks and grasslands, but the heat soon made us long for a sea breeze again.

 And the final ingredient for a great trip was there; a compatible group. We were a mixture of oldies and youngies, males and females, extroverts and quiet ones, with different occupations, life-styles and opinions. There were lots of ideas to exchange, stories to tell one another, laughs to be had. We parted with the promise of reuniting in a year for the next stretch of coast.
