-Somebody asked me why I sometimes abbreviate contributions to the
-magazine, even though we are always so eager for stories about bushwalking. One reason is that condensing an article concentrates the action, giving a story greater impact.
 The shorter an article, the better chance it has of being read. Anything over two pages is in danger of being 'skipped'.
-The most important reason for keeping items short, is the amount of time spent by our volunteers in printing the magazine. Our present printer takes at least 15 minutes to produce one page, so a 14 page magazine takes about A hours.
-Add such things as covers, wrappers, walks programs etcetera ... 11110 and our dedicated printers can quite often stand for 5 or 6 hours in a cold garage, struggling with a piece of machinery which knows more dirty tricks than a KGB agent. In view of all this, the best I can do is keep the magazine down to a reasonable size!

 Hopefully, one day we will be able to afford a simpler and less temperamental machine. When that happens, I think our printers will celebrate with champagne!

-OFF-ROAD VEHICLES POLICY
-In 1979 the State Pollution Control Commission held and Inquiry into the recreational use of off-road vehicles. This led to the passing of an Act in 1983 which provided for the dPsignation of 'no access' areas and 'controlled access' areas. The Department of*Lands has now formulated a draft policy to give effect to the Act. For 10 years since the Inquiry, ORV's have ranged freely over most of the Crown landscape.
-The Federation of Bushmalkers, together with other leading conservation organisations, made a joint submission to the Inquiry. Its theme was that the use of ORV's "impinged on the welfare of others by spoiling their enjoyment of the natural environment and inflicting damage on that environment". It described the environmentally dbjectionable features of OW use such as noise, wilderness impairment and track damage, and pointed cut that closure of roads did not deny public access.
-At the Inquiry, all the authorities concerned with land management gave evidence. None of them wanted ORV's on their land, but the Dept. of Lands said it would provide Crown lands for ORV use. When asked what sort of land it could make. available, having regard to environmental protection, it could nominate on quarries and gravel pits! The Inquiry report was even more critical of OR'.' damage than were the conservation societies.
-At the June general meeting, the Club approved a submission, prefaced by a claim that it had a more intimate knowledge of State Crown Lands, both before and after the intrusion of OR'." s, than any other user group. It recommended that ORV's be excluded from:
-Wilderness ares, whether proclaimed as such or not.
-National parks, existing or proposed, except on public roads. All beaches.
-The exclusion ELLin wilderness areas is included in the Departments draft policy, and there is also provision for exclusion from areas the future use of which would be prejudiced.

 On the 3rd June, Dot Butler received the 'Adventurer of the Year' award from the Australian Geographic Society.

 people".
