 Driven by some JIT philosophy or other, Eddy walked into the meeting as the call for walks reports was uttered.  The first walk covered was the reunion at Coolana, over the weekend of 10, 11, 12 October, with around 80 attending in near perfect weather conditions.  There were no reports for the three other walks scheduled that weekend, Alan Wells’ two day walk out from Carlons Farm, Tony Manes’ Sunday car shuffle trip from Lockley Pylon to Evans Lookout, and Laurie Bore’s Pearl Beach bush and beach walk, also on the Sunday.

 Colin, you have a point.  I believe that the activity of the walking recreation group in the NT is like a normal bushwalk and thus is different from the N.S.W. proposals of access for horses and vehicles.  I will pass your letter on to our Conservation Secretary for his opinion.  Editor.
