-Page 2 THE SYDNEY BUSHWALKER April, 1986.
-FROM THE PRESIDENT.  Hello, Bushwalkers!
+Hello, Bushwalkers!
 If you were at the Annual General Meeting on 12th March what I am about to say will sound familiar. However, if you weren't, you'd be interested in what I have to say because it is to bring you up to date with what's happening in the Club's affairs.
 As you would be aware, we are preparing to incorporate, some advantages of this being -
-. Preservation of the Club's registered name.
-. The Club will be an entity in itself, separate from members, and for this reason could take the main thrust of any sueing action, rather than members and office bearers.

-eliminated. As it is at the moment, if Trustees should change it would be a costly exercise.
+  - The Club will own Coolana and so the need for Trustees will be eliminated. As it is at the moment, if Trustees should change it would be a costly exercise.
 To become incorporated we need to fulfill certain obligations and to this end Barrie Murdoch has prepared a draft for a new Constitution. The Committee has considered this draft over three meetings, making changes where it considers relevant, such as adding or altering clauses.
 When the final draft Constitution is available, a copy will be sent to everyone, probably with the magazine, and an Extraordinary General Meeting will be called. More meetings may be necessary. When this has been accepted, the Club can apply for incorporation.
 In the meantime, the current Consitution applies.
 Personal Accident Insurance, as agreed in principle at the December General Meeting, has still to be considered in detail by the Committee.
-At the Annual General Meeting members also decided to revert to the MOnthly General Meeting, feeling that in this way they are kept more informed of the business of the Club. HOpe to see you there!
-Regards, BARBARA BRUCE, PRESIDENT.

-S.B.W. IN THE NEWS!
-Ben Esgate was to be seen on ABC T.V. on the "7.30 Report" on Tuesday, 25th March. SICKNESS AND POLLUTION IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS are reaching scandal proportions, or at least, the television news.
-The problem is that effluent - SEWAGE to you - is partially treated daily and let out into the creeks from towns which are growing rapidly. The sewerage system is antiquated, badly maintained, with concrete pipes in poor
-shape, sewage can be seen bubbling out of the cracks. For example, untreated
-sewage beside Leura Falls Creek goes into the Kedumba Valley and eventually
-into the Cox's River and Warragamba Dam. The Grose River and its tributaries
-are similarly polluted.
-What does this mean? The E. Coll count should be 0 per 100 ml; counts
-of 20,000 per 100 ml. are common. E. Coli causes diarrhoea and sickness when you drink polluted unboiled water.

-minutes and adding a purifier tablet. Check maps carefully to see where creeks rise.
-TASMANIA.

-One of the three last wilderness stands of temperate forest of World Heritage listing standard includes Farmhouse Creek. This area is a "buffer" and is wilderness just as much as the "core". If damaged by roads or
-logging, it ceases to be a buffer to the core, so the core gets smaller as its edges become the buffer. Follow?

 The Wilderness Society makes two points not reported in the news media:
-. The safeguards of the Woodchip Agreement, that is, committees and
-consultations, are not happening. This is the reason for the protest.

 South Coast environment groups are concerned that their water supply from the Tantawangalo Creek catchment could be reduced greatly by woodchip logging. This creek is the main water supply of Merimbula, Pambula, Pambula Beach, Candelo, Wolumba and sometimes Eden. The 5,500 permanent residents and 20,000 summer tourists rely on it.
-The Coolangubra forest is a habitat of world significance for tree- living marsupials - especially yellow-bellied glider possums, one of Australia's most spectacular. Can they withstand the clear-felling of
-coupes (blocks of 50-100 hectares) as is done for wood-chipping? Or any logging at all?
