 Dear Mrs Kirner,
-I recently visited the high mountain country of Victoria, and being quite keen on walking spent what would have been a glorious day walking in the Alpine National Park. I qualify my enthusiasm for this area becuase I was, frankly, surprised and quite appalled by the
-only too obvious results of the cattle grazing which is still allowed in this National Park - cattle excrement, resultant over-population of flies and the virtual denudation of the wild flowers which during the summer 'months would', and should be, carpeting the alpine plains.

-I have often visited the New South Wales Kosciusko National Park during the summermonths,  particularly the area between the Thredbo Chairlift and Mount Kosciusko, and this area never ceases to please and delight me - despite its ease of access, popularity and hence large numbers of people walking around this area, the fact that the cattle were banished from here some time ago has enabled the Park to return to its original splendour, the mess, and abnormal quantities of flies being long gone and wild flowers once again flourish on the mountain sides and plains.
-These alpine regions particularly of South-East Australia are not only splendid places but they are also absolutely treasures of the nation. In a vast country such as ours, with so much space, it seems hard to justify use of our fine National Parke as grazing areas Australia can, and should, preserve its National Parks in their natural state; as they always were, that is before the impact of man'and-his beaste'gpoh-the environment. There is room, and indeed greater know how and technology than previously, to enable cattle to be grazed on designated farmland and grazing areas outside the Parks. In my opinions the Victorian Gokiernment in allowing this misuse of Alpine National Park is as guilty'of spoiling a treasure of the nation as surely as if it were perpetrating a defacement of any other work of art., It is time to move the cattle out of the National Parks and preserve our heritage.

 Dave got up early this morning AND STARTED THE FIRE! We had a 9.30 am start - straight
 into the water - EEEK! Cloudy with a rainy look to the morning again. At 10.30 am we stopped for morning tea, a fire and rock hugging. Even though the days were cloudy, the rocks were always VERY warm. David, meanwhile, repaired the foot-long tear in his lilo. We were all still VERY, VERY cold when it was time to get going again; Dave was the only one without thermals, so he borrowed my thermal jumper to test "this newfangled invention"
