+ | Some days later, many kilometres West, I did reach Ketchem Bay, of which place I have noted in my diary that I had three hours of sunshine at a stretch. The next day was on to Wilson Bight, where I did set up camp to wait for an improvement in the weather. At this stage there was the occasional sleet storm amid the rain storms that teemed upon this very protected camp site.

We congratulate the government on these notable extensions to the Park. We would like to be more specific on the areas covered, but on inquiry from the N.P.W.S. for maps of the additions were assured there was no map. A diagrammatic map was published with Mr. Wran's statement, and the Mount Werong addition appears to agree pretty closely with the area proposed by the Canopy Committee. However it does not appear to include the Tuglow Caves Reserve in the north, nor to abut the Wombeyan Caves in the south. The Canopy Committee urges supporters to write congratulating the Premier on the additions, but to request that these two reserves should be included. | We congratulate the government on these notable extensions to the Park.

Bob Hodgson said passes through the streams running east in the Wollangambe Wilderness were few and far between, and tricky at that. So it was with some trepidation that I decided on this exploratory to find a good negotiable pass through the first of these streams, Yarramun Creek. This and further exploratories are to form the basis of an extended walk from Mt. Wilson to Newnes, following a more or less direct northerly course from Mt.

So down we went until we reached the small dry creek bed running north on grid 550. Some rearrangement of the vegetation was necessary in this creek bed, but apart from that, it proved to be an easy access to the main creek. Perhaps a half hour was consumed in taking in the delights of Yarramun Creek and finding a camp site, whereupon we had lunch at about 12.30. | So down we went until we reached the small dry creek bed running north on grid 550.

- | Some clearing of bracken, dead branches and stones was necessary to put up our three tents and clear a fire place, but this was achieved in quick time (no cave of any worth was found in the vicinity), and we set out on an afternoon stroll to find a ridge out to the north for the next leg. Believe it or not, the one immediately above the camp site proved to be quite easy. There were only a couple of spots where 4 WV, had to be engaged, just to get over a couple of low ledges. This ridge then followed the familiar undulating pattern, but we turned to the right as soon as we headed the creek and came back down the next spur over a conical hill. This proved much harder at the bottom and when compared to the previous spur, I would not recommend it as a good route. However the views from the peak of the cone were worthwhile. Mt. Cameron and Tambo Limb were visible to the north, also Mt. Wilson to the south. | + | Some clearing of bracken, dead branches and stones was necessary to put up our three tents and clear a fire place, but this was achieved in quick time (no cave of any worth was found in the vicinity), and we set out on an afternoon stroll to find a ridge out to the north for the next leg.
