Travelling second last - A note to train travellers.

If you want to travel with other Bush Club members, travel in the second last carriage due to short platforms. If you're alighting at Wondabyne, you'll need to get out from the back door of the last carriage.

Safety issues

Snake bandage

A really good item for your first aid kit (for any walk in the bush) is a Setopress high compression bandage, for snake or spider bites. It has markings on it which show you the exact amount of tension to use on the bitten limb.

Interesting online article about safety issues when crossing creeks - http://www.trailspace.com/articles/how-to-cross-streams.html (Close the window to return here)

Please note that we don't condone crossing streams under any circumstances in dangerous conditions.

Cds available

The 70 Rivers book was a great success!

Did you know that booklets were also produced for the Bush Club's 50th and 60th anniversaries?

These have been scanned and are now available on the one CD for $10 including postage.

Be amazed at the places travelled to 20 years ago, and the 60 mountains climbed 10 years ago.

DIY Recipe for insect repellant

Mix a few drops of Cedarwood and Rosemary oils into a sorbolene cream. Rub a small amount of the cream to face, arms etc (ears even). Spread gently for even cover.

It smells great to humans but keeps the bugs away.
