 Our committee is trying to organise a new song book for us, and are trying to find or create a book with songs peculiar to S.B.W. Any suggestions? - if so, Mr. President would like to hear from you. Many of the songs in available books are so out of date that people can't even remember the tunes. Current pop songs are often written to be accompanied by a rhythm section and have little melody line. Our committee is trying to organise a new song book for us, and are trying to find or create a book with songs peculiar to S.B.W.

 At one pm I started up Jones, NOT scrubby.... but a beautiful clear granite staircase, one waterfall after another. I had to cross under a few waterfalls to change sides to obtain the best route. I was still worried that I might not make it. I went straight up the cliff by the big waterfall, being ever so careful. By 3 pm I had reached the top of the canyon, and went up on to the Tops map and compass, 120 bearing, very thick Hakea. I crossed my barbed wire fence at what seemed a very weird angle. Crossed Jones and found at 4 pm the road. It was all over but the shouting. Footweary I continued into the darkness, saw heaps of ma's, and reached the Sassafras Road a little after 6 pm. Some Canberra Bushwalkers came by and gave me a lift down to my car, I was glad to accept. They asked me where I had been, I said, "Ettrema-Jones circuit. Just a day walk.  At one pm I started up Jones, NOT scrubby.... but a beautiful clear granite staircase, one waterfall after another.

 PETER TRESEDER's talk on October 25th brought out 61 members to enjoy a memorable evening. Peter passed lightly over the toil and difficulties of his epic canoe trip and instead concentrated on giving us a vivid picture of the majesty and beauty of the Cape York area. For anyone considering travelling the mighty Jardine River, he gave this tip. IF using inflatable rafts/canoes, take at least a metre of patching material and about 4 litres of glue. (Some smelling salts and/or digitalis would also be handy to help you recover from seeing huge salt-water crocodiles slide into the water when you are wading along, chest deep!). PETER TRESEDER's talk on October 25th brought out 61 members to enjoy a memorable evening.
