-Such excitement as we all met at the group counter at Mascot at 7 am on Sunday, 5th July. Weighing in our packs was very interesting as they went from 15 kg to 20 kg. Much thought had gone into packing. It had been decided that we would carry and prepare our own food,
-as there were widely differing food preferences. It was quite amazing what an interesting and varied selection of meals were enjoyed each evening around the fire.
+Such excitement as we all met at the group counter at Mascot at 7 am on Sunday, 5th July. Weighing in our packs was very interesting as they went from 15 kg to 20 kg. Much thought had gone into packing. It had been decided that we would carry and prepare our own food, as there were widely differing food preferences. It was quite amazing what an interesting and varied selection of meals were enjoyed each evening around the fire.
 So, onto the aircraft for a very smooth and pleasant flight to Alice Springs. We were met there by a small bus and driven to Arura Lodge, where we left overnight bags with spare clothes for the second week, added 3 litres of water to our packs and were transported out on to the Glen Helen road and after 55 minutes were deposited beside the road to start our trek.
 After the customary "group about to leave" photo, we walked a short distance to the Hugh River bed, boiled a billy and ate our lunch. At 1.15 pm we set off on our big adventure, a few minutes later meeting a man and wife in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle from Alice Springs. "Where are you from?" they enquired. "Oh, we just came from Sydney," we answered. "Hell - you must be very tired if you've walked from Sydney!" exclaimed the man, who was quite relieved when we told him that we had in fact flown in, not walked in!
 Not being familiar with the terrain, and also not being up high, it was not easy to pick the gap that we were intending to walk through, from the aerial photo Ainslie had acquired, so for our first afternoon we walked 18 km instead of 15 km, but it was flat and easy walking and we ended up not quite in the river bed we'd hoped to reach.
-We camped on a large flat area, a bit open to a cool wind which came up at dusk, no water but plenty of wood. Then we discovered "THE BINDIES". They lay on the ground like a carpet and we were sure they could jump. Before we knew it, they were in and on everything, and a sight to see was Judybending over having her shorts combed by Jim. the only way to remove them. Poor Judy, for the whole trip, no matter how careful she was, she always ended up with "the bindies".
-We set off next morning to find our river bed no more than km on, and followed it up to the junction, where we found good water, so boiled a billy for morning tea, packed a lunch and, leavcing our packs, walked and climbed up a spectacular gorge and up a scree slope to a ridge for lunch with the first of our breathtaking views.

-Then back down the spur, collected our packs and left at 3.10 pm to head back to the main gorge. After negotiating a tricky bit around a rock face, to avoid a swim, we arrived

 We did day walks up the Chewings Range and also investigated another gorge, finding two large waterholes - one inaccessible and one used by cattle (there were several dead cows in the area).
 Jan's Rossi boots decided to fall apart very early in the walk, so Maurie and Bob got together and evolved a system using a stout darning meedle and a heavy blanket pin and "borrowed" cord from torches to sew the upper to the sole. This became a nightly ritual, along with the telling of jokes, a sing-song, especially enjoyable was Jim's rendition of "The Purple People Eater", and also some yoga for anyone with the will and enthusiasm required.
 Spencer Gorge, our next campsite, proved even more interesting - lovely gums, sheer colourful walls, beautiful and very cold rock pools, the last one blocking the way out, so causing one hour and 40 minutes of climbing and scrambling to get to the other side, a mere 200 metres.

+We walked on looking for "Rigby" Gorge, where, Ainslie had been told, we'd find water. We stopped in a small gorge with water for lunch, but later found it was not "Rigby", but a smaller one, but good to know as there was plenty of good water there. During this part of the walk we sighted quite a few brumbies. We passed the Hugh River Water Guage and found clean water and another super campsite again in the river bed, the only place to avoid "the bindies". Another happy and pleasant evening was enjoyed with a near full moon and clear starry sky.

 Day 6 saw us heading up to Brinkley Bluff, very steep and very rough and oh! that spinifex! Having at last all gathered, by various routes, on the saddle, we had a well earned morning tea and took advantage of the height to get some great photos and also work out where we were and which way to go. Working from an aerial photograph is not the easiest way to navigate and I commend Ainslie, Maurie, Brian, Jan and Jim for their expertise.
 After traversing the slope and negotiating another gully, we came to a deep clear water- hole. Bob climbed down and filled our water-skins and after lunch we had our hardest afternoon. We did a very steep and rough and prickly traverse to find ourselves in a very long, steep and rough gully which brought us up to a narrow ridge above the S.B.W. named "Surprise Waterfall". After scrambling down, finding good water on the way, we set up camp, and after mending Jan's boots again, all retired early.
 Day 7 saw us up early and off on a very pleasant and pretty walk to our last campsite at the back of Standley Chasm. We investigated the chasm, Ainslie, Jo and Brian swimming through the first pool and deciding it would be better to find a way to climb around, which Jan and Maurie proceeded to do very successfully. We spent our last night, reliving our walk, having a sing-song, finishing with Mike's composition (printed further in the magazine). It was such a clear, still night, with a full moon and we were all a bit sad that our trip was nearly over.
 Sunday dawned clear and mild and after breakfast we packed up and left our packs and did a last climb up the ridge overlooking the chasm and soaked up the magnificent views to remember as we travelled home. We negotiated the track around the first pool, only to find that we had to wade out the second pool chest-deep to the amusement of a large group of camera-clicking tourists.
 Oh dear! I think we would all have preferred to go back than to enter the world of buses, cars, kiosks and all the trappings of those poor folk, who didn't get to see the magnificent country "out back in the MadDonell Ranges".

-END OF THE TROUT FISHING SEASON - JUNE 1987.
+----
+=====End Of The Trout Fishing Season.=====
 by Keith Docherty.
 For various reasons the party of ten anglers I had expected dwindled to only two! Frank Woodgate and myself. So, for the benefit of those who could have come but wouldn't and those who would have come but couldn't, here is my tale of the June long weekend:-
 Rain was falling as we left Carlon's at 9.50 am on Saturday, and it steadily became heavier. Frank was wearing a cape as well as a parka but the rain and the wet vegetation of Kennel Flat soaked him to the skin. When we reached Mobb's Swamp at 12.45 pm we lost no time lighting a fire in the cave.
-We were joined for lunch by Martin, a Packsaddlers Guide, and a party of riders. They were pleased to share our fire and they offered us some of their saveloys. Frank had been strugging to remove his wet suit boots and he was delighted to accept the help of a couple
-of attractive young ladies. Martin entertained us with anecdotes of horse riding and farming and demonstrated his billy swinging ability. We were sorry when he and his party had to leave in the rain that showed no sign of abating. Looking at that rain, the dry cave and the cheerful fire, we decided it wasn't really necessary to get to the river that night and we unpacked and set out our sleeping gear.

Martin entertained us with anecdotes of horse riding and farming and demonstrated his billy swinging ability. We were sorry when he and his party had to leave in the rain that showed no sign of abating. Looking at that rain, the dry cave and the cheerful fire, we decided it wasn't really necessary to get to the river that night and we unpacked and set out our sleeping gear.
 About 3 pm a lone walker arrived and asked if he could warm himself at our fire. He was soaked to the skin and not looking forward to going out again. As he was only walking in the area, without any definite destination, I suggested he stayed in the cave for the night. There was plenty of room for the three of us.
 At 4 pm a woman suddenly appeared and asked if she could bring the girls in. She was a teacher from Tara Church of England Girls School with a party of eight girls on the Duke of Edinburgh Award. They had followed the smoke of our fire to the cave. The girls were sent out to collect more wood and we lengthened the fire to make room for more billies.
-While we were eating dinner a "coo-eel" came from the wet darkness and soon we were joined by half a dozen young people, also on the Duke of Edinburgh Award. They had just settled in when another ten young people arrived. They, too, were doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Just as well it is a large cave!
+While we were eating dinner a "coo-ee!" came from the wet darkness and soon we were joined by half a dozen young people, also on the Duke of Edinburgh Award. They had just settled in when another ten young people arrived. They, too, were doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Just as well it is a large cave!
 Next morning the teacher was first up to light the fire and she and the girls were first to leave. All of the Duke of Edinburgh Award people were away by 9 am. The leaders had made sure that all tins and plastic items were picked up and taken away. However, we did find half a tin of baked beans a Tara girl had buried at the back of the cave.
 The lone walker thought he would stay in the cave until the weather improved but we had to push on to the Cox's. Frank set out at 10.50 am and I followed at 11.15 am and caught up with him at the top of Yellow Pup. It was about there we ran out of the mist and rain and found that very little rain had fallen at lower altitudes. At 1.20 pm we arrived at the Cox's and were surprised to find it very low and clear. After all the rain we had expected to see a raging brown flood.
-We set up camp at the bottom of Yellow Pup, then went to the river with our fishing rods. I walked upstream and saw a lot of trout but they were all very nervous. There were prints of waders all along the river's edge so obviously somebody had been fishing hard earlier in the
-day. Smoke was rising from the cabin at Konangaroo so probably the anglers had come lirom there.

-I caudht a trout for dinner and left it at the camp before walking upstream as far as Brindle Pup to spy out where the trout were. I saw some very brightly coloured male rainbows above Konangaroo and some were quite large. Back at camp I found Frank had caught two trout, one of which was the largest he had ever caught. We wrapped a couple of the trout in tinfoil and baked them in hot embers. Moonlight was shining on us as we ate dinner but it was soon obscured by cloud and a light drizzle started to fall about 10 pm and continued most of the night.
-After breakfast next morning we went our separate ways to catch a few fish to take home. Margaret Niven had recommended and sold to me a small Nilsmaster "Invincible" lure for bass fishing. I'd had no success using it for bass and found it a bit of a nuisance because the front -Set of hooks often caught on the line. I decided to try it on the trout. In a short

I replaced it with a Shakespeare "Little S" and caught the largest fish of the trip, a nice male rainbow trout. That made up the five I wanted to take home so I packed up my tackle at 9 am and went walking with my camera to take photos of the wet and misty scenery. I met Frank fishing a beautiful pool below the camp. He had caught two trout and he caught another after morning tea.

 Normally when I clean trout I leave the head on but, because of the weight and bulk of the five I was taking out, I cut their heads off. The weight was still over 6 kg and felt even heavier after 2.30 pm when we started the long slog up Yellow Pup. The sight and sounds of several lyre birds and a couple of wallabies helped take our minds off our loads until we ran into mist and rain on Yellow Dog.
-It was 5 pm when we reached Mtibb's Swamp and found we had the cave to ourselves. Soon the fire was blazing and trout cooking. The rain stopped about 7 pm and we were blessed with a threequarter moon in a starry sky until a thick mist descended about midnight.
-The mist started to lift soon after we left the cave at 9.30 am on Tuesday and sunlight shining through the raindrops on numerous spiders' webs transformed the Wild Dog Mountains

 Frank's first priority was to visit the Eastwood Camping Centre to buy a new, and hopefully, rainproof parka. Next was a visit to his chiropractor for treatment of his back, strained with the weight of the trout he had carried.
 Despite some wet weather we had enjoyed the last weekend of the season. Our fishing had been successful and the gratitude of the recipients of the trout made the effort of carrying them out worthwhile. Now we are looking forward to the October long weekend and the opening of the next trout fishing season.
