| - | O Mad dogs and easterners go out in the noon day sun. Three groups from SEW went off last month to Central Australia, all have returned. And one group has returned with a dingo story - hold your breath and watch these pages for it. Could we form an Alice Springs branch of the SBW? Do they have bush walking clubs there? | + | * Mad dogs and easterners go out in the noon day sun. Three groups from SEW went off last month to Central Australia, all have returned.
