+===== Management Of Blue Mountains And Wollemi National Parks. =====
-MANAGEMENT OF  BLUE MOUNTAINS AND WOLLEMI NATIONAL PARKS
 by Alex Colley
 The Draft Management Plans for Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Parks have been published and submissions invited. Both plans give top priority to protection, preservation and, if necessary, restoration of scenic and natural features. This means the exclusion of all damaging activities, a policy almost completely adopted for the wilderness areas within the parks.
-The Blue Mountains plan provides for 21,000 ha of wilderness in the Wollongambe sector, which is part of the Colo wilderness, and 51,000 ha in the Blue Breaks and Coxls River sectors, which forms part of the Kanangra wilderness. Most of the remainder of the Colo wilderness (over 200,000 ha) is included as such in the Wollemi plan. It may be anticipated that the remainder of the Kanangra wilderness will be protected in the Kanangra Boyd National Park management plan, when that is formulated.

It may be anticipated that the remainder of the Kanangra wilderness will be protected in the Kanangra Boyd National Park management plan, when that is formulated.
 To make this policy effective, all tracks, except those essential for management, will be closed. Management tracks will be mainly for NPWS vehicles. Whether these tracks will create more management problems than they resolve, by reason of their inevitable use by arsonists, shooters, Off-Road-Vehicle machos, bush rock and timber thieves etc, remains to be seen. Only public and park roads will be available for public access.
 Control burning will continue to be used "as a management tool" but only as a last resort in wilderness areas. It is to be hoped that burning will be restricted to the vicinity of the places where most fires start - in the developed areas, and that parks will - no longer be used for the burning of firebreaks.
 The Blue Mountains plan aims to "achieve classification of all waters within the park as Class "S" - specially protected under the Clean Waters Act, and the Wollemi plans aims to "remove sources of contamination" and rehabilitate catchments.
 The Wollemi plan acknowledges the need for controlling developments outside the park which may affect the park itself. The Blue Mountains plan does not acknowledge this need, though it will be necessary if water quality and scenic features, such as the escarpment, are to be preserved.
-The plans accord closely with the conservation ideals of the SOW. We can hope that we will once again be able to walk on tracks unused by vehicles, and that the NPWS will successfully resist the pressure. groups seeking to use the parks for profit or pleasure at the expense of the natural environment.
-Keep S. & R. Contacts (names and phone numbers) and this information in ynur packs on ALL walks.

 THE 1988.. RE-UNION  by Helen Gray
 After the success of the 60th Anniversary Re-union at Coolana it was surprising that only 50 turned up at the 1988 Annual Re-union; even more surprising when you consider how perfect the weather was. However, let me add that what we lacked in numbers we made up for in quality!
