 I am answering a reply by Peter Stitt and Garth Coulter in the July issue to my earlier article in the April issue. Peter and Garth claim that their party, the Outdoor Recreation Party (ORP), is a conservation minded and wilderness friendly organisation. Here is an extract from the ORP's Website Newsletter No 9, Spring 1998, Volume 1, in response to some wilderness nominations by the National Parks and Wildlife Service
@@ Line 116: / Line 123: @@
 Here is one more statement from the ORP Website Newsletter No 19, Spring 1998, Volume L. Readers should keep in mind that this is meant to be serious. "Our intelligence sources who closely watch and listen to the Green movement, and have a perfect record in predicting what can be expected next from our opponents predict that recreational fishing is the next target on the Green's hit list. This will be an attempt to merge with Animal Liberation to bolster flagging support. So all our members who like to "wet a line" be warned ".

 Three walks in the Yerranderie area appear on the Spring 1999 walks program, one to be led by Wayne Steele on Oct 22/24, has been labelled by Bill Capon an SBW classic. I have done this walk several times in past years and a few comments may engender some interest in this historic and spectacular area. The view from the top of Yerranderie Peak, overlooking the old silver mining town of Yerranderie is a high point of a walk packed with interest.

 We were sorry to hear the news that Peter Stitt suffered a broken leg whilst ferrying a ski club member to his lodge on the club skidoo.  This makes a pigeon pair as Peter told me that he broke the other leg whilst skiing 43 years ago. Mend well, Peter.

 I was very surprised to read Elwyn Morris's letter" Some problems with Coolana" in the August issue of "The Sydney Bushwalker"- particularly the suggested market value of the property. Every bushwalker knows that the real, value of bushland cannot be Measured in dollars. Every accountant knows that some assets have an intangible value.

 As Frank Rigby said at the beginning of his letter: "many words have been written about Coolana". I have published all that I have received because I consider that the matter is important and has raised some emotion in the club, but now I would appreciate that any future letters on the subject be short. Thank you. Ed

 Somehow I mislaid a few evocative lines of Christine Austin's article in the August magazine. 'Taking Teenagers Walking' Sony Christine. Readers please insert the following at the top of page 13.
 'Saturday, and reluctant daughter surged up Roots Ridge, driven by the lure of home and accumulated fitness. At the coal seam cave we met our first people for days. Raindrops on a casuarina backlit by low sunlight shone with the full spectrum of colours - a Bush Christmas Tree.'

 At the June 1999 General Meeting the Club voted (unanimously) to take out personal injury insurance for all members (including prospective members) and the compulsory public liability policy which provides cover for the club as a legal entity for an amount of $10 mil through the Confederation of Bushwalking Clubs NSW.

 Readers may remember the recent good news that SBW now provides its members, including prospective members, with personal injury cover while they are participating in most club activities. Now we all know that there are rocks, logs and other parts of the inanimate landscape out there in the bush just waiting to ambush us, to trip us up, impale us, drop upon us and so on, when we aren't too wary. Other dangers can also be animals, such as, club member eating snakes, crocodiles, leeches, Tasmanian terrorists (see David Trinder's article in an earlier issue of this year's magazine) and so on.

+====== Lightening the Load ======
+by George Illawer
 It has been reported that on several walks in recent times it has been necessary to lighten the pack of one of the party. This is unquestionably the thing to do when one of the group has fallen victim to accident or illness as it decreases the risks of the victim's condition deteriorating further. However it does raise the question of the relevant fairness of any party member starting out with an excessively heavy pack. Its simply not fair on the rest of the party for you to be loaded up to your maximum. Quite apart from the fact that you increase your risk of injury by being heavily laden, you don't have any spare capacity to help out in an emergency. Also, if you happen to be the victim, there is the question of what to do with the contents of your heavy pack.
