+=====All You Need To Know About Bushwalking.=====
+by Paul Sharp (First published February 1985)
+I set out below, from my vast experience of bushwalking, a few simple facts that will surely help the less experienced, the blind, and the lame, more fully to enjoy that most spiritual and uplifting of all men's (sorry, dears, person) activities.
+  - 75% of all journeys, in either direction, are UP hill.
+  - However much you eat from it, the pack gets heavier rather than lighter.
+  - The map is wrong.
+  - There is (always) a magnetic anomaly (maybe ironstone) in the area that causes the compass to be misleading.
+  - The last pair of boots was more comfortable.
+  - The job of the leader is to be way out in front, to prove that he is the leader.
+  - The best camping spot is a little further on.
+  - Halfway through the journey back it is "only about five minutes to the cars".
+  - An easy descent to, crossing of, and ascent from, Pigeon House Gorge exists, and is easy to find.
+  - The "Beers for bushwalkers Association" actually exists.
+  - Women are better walkers than men.
+  - It's only now that this heavy storm has set in that the tent has suddenly sprung a leak.
+  - It doesn't mater if you can't find the exact ridge where the trail is indicated. One ridge is as good as another.
+  - My boots are waterproof.
+  - Leeches won't attack you if you are smoking.
+  - Lung cancer is good for you.
+  - Waterproof matches are.
+  - It's easy to light a fire in the heaviest rain.
+  - The pass used to be here last time I came.
+  - Men are better walkers than women.
+  - Bushwalking is relaxing, and good for you.
+  - Dot is an orthodox conservative.
+  - Inflatable mattresses are just as good when they are punctured.
+  - I like walking in this heavy fog - it's a good test of navigation.
+  - A competent bushwalker can always find his way from the sun.
+  - "The bush is not a rubbish dump".
+  - This river never floods.
+  - Members of S.B.W. don't get lost.
