-Ray Hookway writes… Harry Hill (The Wild Dog's Lament in last month's magazine) has written a history of Currango Homestead.  The book's title is "Old Currango" available from Harry* for $24 + $5 p&p, and from Dymocks for $??.  Harry is now researching a book on "Rules Point" guest house and wonders whether any of the older SBW members have any information.   Rules Point Guest House was at Rules Point obviously, about half way between Talbingo and Kiandra, and was demolished by the SMA.  It was run by a woman called Edna Prosser and I think she catered mostly for trout fishers. Rules Point is at the junction of the Snowy Mts. Highway and the road to Brindabella, not far from Yarangobilly and Yarangobilly Caves.+Ray Hookway writes. Harry Hill (The Wild Dog's Lament in last month's magazine) has written a history of Currango Homestead.  The book's title is "Old Currango" available from Harry* for $24 + $5 p&p, and from Dymocks for $??.  Harry is now researching a book on "Rules Point" guest house and wonders whether any of the older SBW members have any information.   Rules Point Guest House was at Rules Point obviously, about half way between Talbingo and Kiandra, and was demolished by the SMA.  It was run by a woman called Edna Prosser and I think she catered mostly for trout fishers.

 The cupboard is bare. No articles in stock, In reserve there is zilch, nil, zero, nothing, SFA, in comparison Mother Hubbard was a well endowed hoarder. With no articles the magazine will crash.  Mr Murdoch or Mr Packer might make a hostile take-over grab for the magazine in its weakened state.  What am I to do? Jump over the Gap? No never!  Offer money and prizes?  Now that might work.  No, the way forward is via guilt.  Hang a great big guilt trip over the readers.  It's their magazine; they read it; they should also write it. All I do is put the pieces together.  No articles, no worries, it's the readers fault, nothing to do with me.  I'm one of the good guys.  It's the readers (better still call them the non-writers) who are the bad guys.  It's the non-writers who'll have to do something about the reams of blank pages that threaten the Sydney Bushwalker, not me. The cupboard is bare.

 Is all this becoming too much for me?  Maybe the Committee will send me on an all expenses paid holiday to Hawaii again.  Perhaps I should have a Bex, a cup of tea and a good lie down, then I'll feel better and will be able to finish the April Sydney Bushwalker. Is all this becoming too much for me?  Maybe the Committee will send me on an all expenses paid holiday to Hawaii again.  Perhaps I should have a Bex, a cup of tea and a good lie down, then I'll feel better and will be able to finish the April Sydney Bushwalker.
