| //As he alluded to in his opening sentence, this is Jim's last contribution to the Sydney Bushwalker. Jim died on 13 June 1996. This report and verse were among his papers, in an envelope addressed to the magazine. Jim, always a methodical person, had taken, steps to ensure that he made a final contribution to the Sydney Bushwalker. Since joining the Club in 1947 Jim made many contributions to the magazine. His skill in prose, verse and song will be long remembered and sadly missed.// | //As he alluded to in his opening sentence, this is Jim's last contribution to the Sydney Bushwalker.
