Club News Insurance 2006-07

Abseiling Sub-committee

Through the work of BWA, Insurance Officer Howard Tooth and consultant Fred Grima, the insurance cover for bushwalkers for 2006-07 is better than last years. Not only is it cheaper but also there are a few more activities covered eg caving (though a waiver needs to be signed as for abseiling). The good safety record of members has also contributed to lower premiums. Bushwalkers are reminded that they must always have safety as their primary concern if this trend is to continue.

The QBW committee at the May committee meeting decided to disband the Abseiling Sub-Committee. The Abseiling Subcommittee had gathered together quite a lot of information from various sources and many points of view were discussed amongst the sub-committee members. However the purchase of the Abseiling handbooks from the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council has effectively provided the material for which the sub-committee had been formed. QBW has purchased ten of these handbooks and some have been distributed to various members. The handbooks are available from Trevor Davern on request. The QBW committee also moved that Club abseil gear would only be available to Club members doing an official Club event. Any member wishing to use the Club abseiling gear please ring Trevor Davern at 0411 512 202.

Public Liability

$4.75 per member ($5.85 - 2005)

Personal Accident

$3.90 per member ($3.80 - 2005)

This represents a reduction in insurance costs of $1.00 per member for those clubs providing both Liability and Personal Accident Insurance for members. The Insurance Policies arranged provide Liability and Personal Accident cover for 192 bushwalking clubs Australia wide with a combined membership of 21,643 members (22,084 members in 2005). Generally all clubs affiliated with the State Federations are insured under the Liability Policy whereas only 85% of clubs provide Personal Accident insurance for their members. QBW has Public Liability and Personal Accident Insurance cover for all members. There will be more information on Insurance in the next Newsletter as more details become available.

Comings and Goings Noelene and Neville M are holidaying in NT visiting Kakadu on a 4WD trip. June G is travelling for a couple of months in the Kimberley region in a friend’s campervan. Fran M is moving to Victoria in August but will be back to visit us during the cooler months. Peter P has recently returned having done the Larapinta Trail.

Special Coming Events Pilgrimage 2006

Training Quiz This Month’s Questions:

18 - 20 August 2006

The Pilgrimage is the name of the annual gathering of the Bushwalking Clubs of Queensland who are affiliated to the Queensland Federation of Bushwalking Clubs.

The questions for this month to consider are: When using a walkie talkie what are some of the procedures you should use to minimise talking over one another?

WHERE IS IT?

What is the phonetic alphabet used in radio communication?

Rocky Creek Scout Camp, Old Gympie Road, Landsborough HOW DO I GET THERE? From Brisbane drive north on the Bruce Highway and take either:

Previous Month’s Questions with the Answers: 1) What does UTM stand for on a map and what is it?

(1) Glasshouse House Mountains Road exit and travel along Glasshouse Mountains Road to the Landsborough / Maleny turn-off; or

UTM stands for Universal Transverse Mercator. In simple terms it is a way of dividing the Earth into 60 zones with each zone 6° wide. Zone 1 goes from longitude 180° to 174°W and zone numbering increases in an easterly direction. SE Qld is in Zone 56. By dividing the Earth into 6° wide zones the distortion of mapping a round object onto a flat surface is partially minimised.

(2) Landsborough exit and drive to the Landsborough / Maleny turn-off. Turn off into Landsborough, cross the railway line and follow toward Maleny. At the next roundabout, turn left into Gympie Street South, and then drive for 1.5 km to Rocky Creek, followed by the Aboriginal Site and then the Rocky Creek Scout Camp all on the left. On arrival, please book in as per instructions with the Registration Form. You will then be given further directions for your accommodation. HOW MUCH WILL IT COST The fees are as follows: BUNK

$45.00

CAMPSITE (ADULT)

$30.00

(CHILD UNDER 13 YEARS)

$15.00

Late booking fee of $5.00 per person for notifying of attendance after 5th August 2006. WHAT WILL I GET FOR MY MONEY? ·Accommodation of your choice as booked ·Soup and roll on Friday night

2) What is a datum? A datum is a mathematical reference point on which a mapping and coordinate system is based. Topographic maps are based on a datum. In Australia prior to 1966 there were about 20 different datums. Then the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 (AGD66) followed by the Australian Geodetic Datum 1984 (AGD84) coordinate systems became the standard for topographic maps. From the year 2000 topographic maps are now printed with the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA). Now why do you need to know the above? If you are using a GPS in association with a topographic map, then you will need to set the GPS to UTM and to the particular datum (AGD or GDA) of the topographic map.

Nepal Himalaya Trek

QFBWC AGM

March/April 2007

I am organizing a small private 23-day trek to the Everest region March/April 2007. We will be walking to Gokyo, Kala Pattar and Tengboche. For further information contact Gail Cibilic. Ph: 55468 189 or e-mail [email protected]

The affiliation fees for clubs were set at 50 cents a member. The fees to BWA were set at 60 cents for the period 2006-08. Committee positions were then declared vacant. Unfortunately not all positions were filled with vacancies for an Honorary Treasurer and an Assistant Secretary. The 2006 QFBWC AGM will be reconvened on the 27th of July 2006 at the Little Kings Movement, 33 O'Keefe St, Buranda. The AGM will commence at 7pm and will be followed immediately by the usual monthly Council meeting. Business at the AGM will consist of the election of an Honorary Treasurer and an Assistant Secretary and the appointment of an auditor for 2006-2007.

BWA AGM and Conference Bushwalking Australia Inc held a weekend conference in Victoria on 17 and 18 June 2006. This allowed delegates from all Australian States to get together and discuss various issues. A Queensland delegate did not go in person but John Campbell, President of QFBWC, was able to participate via an internet linkup. The BWA AGM was also held concurrently with the conference. Office holders are the same as last years except there is a need for a Secretary. More information on BWA is at their website http://www.bushwalkingaustralia.org/index.html

Past Walks Minnages Mountain

25 March 2006

During the week leading up to this walk a cyclone was moving south down the Queensland coast and I thought we might be in for a bit of a wet walk. However the day dawned bright and clear and as I drove into Boonah I noticed that there was a layer of cloud sitting over the top of the Ballows and I was hoping that this would blow off as the day progressed. We made our rendezvous at the usual Boonah toilet block and headed out to the Burnett Creek road to start the walk. The ascent up the western ridge starts fairly steeply but soon becomes a steady climb along the top of the ridge. The grass cover along the top of the ridge was very thick and with a lot of rock under foot careful attention had to be taken while walking to avoid a twisted ankle. As we got on top of the ridge the wind strength picked up considerably and the cloud cover I’d hoped would blow off was there for the duration and we soon began to have first shower of light rain.

After a bit of a walk on a forest trail, we cut across some bush and found the creek which we had to go up. Nothing very daunting and the rock hopping lasted about twenty minutes, after which we reached the falls. True to Ken’s word the falls were fabulous, really full with water pouring over granite rock and making a spectacular sight. But of course, as we all know, we had to get to the top of the waterfall which was short and steep. Morning tea was at the top of the falls and was enjoyed by all. After morning tea we set off again, and bush bashed our way up for some time until we came to huge slabs of rocks where we had our lunch. The scenery from these rocks was overlooking valleys and once again we enjoyed the views having a leisurely lunch. The two Davids had a wonderful time discussing David K‘s GPS with David R. giving the instructions I hadn’t realized how complicated GPS’ were! When lunch was over and everyone had rested, we set off again down a saddle and up the other side to a knoll of rocks where we could see Mts. Barney, Lindesay and Maroon. Then down the ridge to our cars, once again taking off our boots to cross the creek - this time however it was lovely refreshing ourselves in the cool waters. Afternoon tea was at Beaudesert and while trying to avoid ‘Macas’, we did the rounds of the town to find a café, but to no avail. Back to reliable ‘Macas’ for chips, coffee, then home. Thanks Ken for a great walk. It was really enjoyable and we are looking forward to your next. Margaret

New England National Park

Minnages Ménage

About 1 Kilometre from the top we entered into rainforest which covers the ridge from this point until just short of the summit. If we weren’t wet when we entered the rainforest we certainly were when we came out as pushing through the heavy undergrowth of walking stick palms soon had me at least soaked. The summit was soon reached in time for lunch. Unfortunately the views over to Mt. Ballow and Double Peak etc. we mostly obscured by cloud but occasionally it would part to reveal a view to Double Peak. The wind and light rain soon had us fairly chilled so after a relatively short lunch break we headed out along the northern ridge. Because for the recent rains the top of the ridge was very green and quite picturesque but this soon dropped down quite steeply and because of rock and thick grass progress slowed quite a bit. We were soon back on flatter ground and followed the ridge back to the road where we had left one of the cars. After picking up the cars left at the start of the walk we returned to Boonah for some well deserved refreshments. Thanks to all those who came on the walk and thanks to Helen for supplying the group photo on top of the mountain. David Kenrick

Three Falls Plus

8 April 2006

Six of us met at Ken’s place at 6.15a.m for our drive to Drynans Cabin near Rathdowney where we arrived at approximately 8.30 AM. We commenced our walk on an absolutely glorious morning. However, we hadn’t gone very far when we reached a creek which is normally a trickle only to find after a storm on Thursday, the water had risen to our knees. So, off with our boots for a wade through the water. The water was quite deep (depending on the length of your legs) and fast flowing. Ken was highly delighted with this as he assured us that the waterfalls would be fabulous. Back on with our boots amid laughter to begin the walk in earnest.

Easter 2006

Point Lookout in New England National Park is about 85km East of Armidale and a 6-hour drive from Brisbane. It is perched on the edge of the escarpment with views to the ocean. Kempsey, Macksville and Coffs Harbour can be seen in the distance. We were very lucky to have blue skies for the entire Easter break so we were able to enjoy the incredible views from many vantage points. I had booked a cabin in the National Park that has 8 bunks, open fire, gas cooker, table and chairs and most important hot showers. Although basic it was clean and comfortable. We all settled in on Friday morning deciding to have lunch before venturing out exploring. We started with a walk around Point Lookout below the cliff line called Eagles Nest walk which took us to Weeping Rock and through Antarctic Beech forest. Saturday we walked across Cathedral Rock National Park taking in views from on top of Cathedral Rock, Woolpack Rocks and the Snowy Range. This country is similar to Girraween with more alpine vegetation. After the walk we visited nearby Ebor Falls in Guy Fawkes National Park and we couldn't resist an ice-cream from Ebor store. Early Sunday morning a few brave souls headed up to Point Lookout for sunrise. It was a little disappointing due to a heavy layer of cloud which only gave us a brief glimpse of the sun appearing. We combined two circuit walks and a side trip to a lookout on Sunday. We started off on the Lyrebird circuit then ventured out to Wrights Lookout for morning tea amid stunning views over the park and back to Point Lookout. We then dropped down into 5-Day Creek for a circuit walk through some of the most beautiful creek scenery I have ever seen. It was so good I wanted to go around the circuit again. No time for that so we completed the Lyre Bird circuit above the cliff line. After a quick break at the cabin we drove to Wollomombi Falls in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park to view one of the highest waterfalls in Australia. The Wollomombi and Chandler Falls enter either side of a razorback ridge and join to form the Chandler River. It is very impressive gorge country and worth the drive and walk to the viewing platforms. We made it back to the cabin for some well-earned nibbles and drinks on the balcony before dark. Thanks for the great company. Barbara Makepeace

Paddys Peak

16 April 2006

Once I realized that the 16th was Easter Sunday, I did not expect any takers for this walk. After nominating for David's walk to Isolated Peak on the 15th, I mentioned to him that I thought that my walk on the 16th would be a non-event, so we agreed if this were the case we would camp out overnight and go exploring on the 16th. By the close of nominations I had 13 walkers! So back to Plan One. After a great camp out on the Saturday night, I drove into Rathdowney on the Sunday morning to meet my group, then back to Drynan's Hut for the start of our walk. Barney Creek was swollen, so we waded across barefoot, and readied ourselves for our walk on the other side. The ability of the group ranged from beginners to experienced. I split the walkers into two groups. David H took the fitter, more adventurous walkers up the creek to the falls, while I took the balance of the group directly to the falls. It was obvious after discussions at morning tea that all of the walkers were looking for something a little challenging (I could handle that). By having David, Dean, Jens and Frank along on this outing it gave us the opportunity to give one on one instructions to our newer walkers as well as assistance to those wanting to lash out and have a go at something a little more difficult. Paddy's Peak from the east offers nothing spectacular, but the rocky outcrops in the area afforded us some good rock climbing for beginners and members looking for a little extra. This area is perfect. Traversing to a rocky knoll N.E of Paddy's Peak was our next objective. The outcrops ranging from medium to difficult. It was a matter of selecting suitable conditions for one's ability, and having a go. Regrouping at the top and full of confidence, it was on to our next ridge. This ridge had it all, great climbing, views and exposure. I picked the hardest route along this ridge so all could gain the experience in full of this type of walk. With the excitement over, we all enjoyed an easy hour stroll back to the cars. We decided to stop off at Rathdowney Cafe for drinks. What the cafe lacked in gateau's, they more than made up for with friendly service and the best serve of hot chips I have ever seen (old fashioned and wrapped in paper). All walkers had a choice as to how hard or easy a route they took on the walk. I would never put anyone's safety at risk and would not attempt this challenge without the helper's I had for the day. To David, Dean, Jens and Frank I am truly grateful for your assistance. It turned a good outing into a great one. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, and take on more challenges in the future. Ken Walters.

Lower Bellbird Circuit

Lower Bellbird Circuit

Next to the information centre we had the picnic tables to ourselves and enjoyed our lunch. Back via the Caves Circuit – what a delight. Time for a photo shoot – of course. A little further on my slippery companion was too fast for a positive identification. Short, round, orange with a black tail? Anyone? Back at the carpark in no time. Well done Delma! Thanks to all who joined us. Bob and Danuta

Mount Barney via Logans Ridge

29 April 2006

Seven of us set off from Yellow Pinch reserve at 8:00 am on a fine mild morning. The walk to the rock face of Mt Barney proper was quiet easy as it follows a well-defined ridgeline. From here the climb becomes a lot more difficult as it requires good rock scrambling skills and endurance in inching your way ever higher.

29 April 2006

Initially we were to do the Border Track. As we didn’t reach the required number of walkers by the Wednesday it was decided that we would substitute with this fine walk. Lower Bellbird is approx. 12km return and passes through subtropical rainforest, dry rainforest and open forest. The group met at the Binna Burra carpark and after a brief chat we commenced the walk just opposite the Binna Burra Lodge. The initial part of the track is under dense canopy and care needs to be taken on the track due to exposed tree roots. A slight deviation down to Bellbird Lookout – well worth it. Egg Rock could be seen in the distance. Spotted a few critters today, a shy, little pademelon, a lace monitor that was shedding his skin, didn’t move too fast and didn’t have a care in the world. Next a land mullet – or not – yes, confirmed at a later time by Volunteers at the Binna Burra Information Centre. At last - morning tea on either side of the narrow track. A little further on one of the highlights was going under an “arch” formed by an enormous fallen tree. We passed below high cliffs; enjoyed more fascinating views and abruptly left the rainforest behind. We crossed a mowed grass path –lots of lantana - not long now – up the path and onto the road.

On South East Peak of Mt Barney

The summit was reached at 12:20 pm. It is interesting to note, in 1828 Patrick Logan took 5 hours to make the first accent by the same ridge. Five of us then spent an hour having lunch on top while waiting for Barbara and Paul who were taking it a bit easier as they were spending the night on top to celebrate Barbara’s birthday. The descent was via North Peak Saddle and Rocky Creek. Without having a 50-metre rope we had to side skirt a number of dry waterfalls which added about an extra hour to our descent time. Having one of the clubs GPS’s made it easier in finding the exit point to traverse from the creek back to Logans Ridge and then back down to Yellow Pinch. Thanks to all who joined me.

QBW Photographic Competition

Emailing Photos Any person wishing to send a photo by email for inclusion in the Newsletter is asked to follow these guidelines. 1) Send photos to [email protected]. 2) Do not send photos more than 1200 pixels wide. Crop or resize them first. Minimum size is 600 pixels wide. 3) Do not send photos more than 500 kilobytes (KB) in size. You can decrease the KB size of a photo by converting it to jpg format if the photo is in another format e.g. bmp. If the photo is already in jpg format then you can decrease the size in KB by decreasing the quality of the jpg photo. Graphics Programs There are many graphic manipulation programs around ranging from very easy to quite sophisticated. If you have a digital camera then you may already have one which came with the camera. These can vary with the brand of camera you buy and I cannot give specific advice on how to use them. However I can give advice on Microsoft Photo Editor which comes with Microsoft Office. It is a simple graphics manipulator which allows you to resize or crop a photo or convert it to jpg. If you have MS Office on your computer, Microsoft Photo Editor can usually be found under Microsoft Office Tools. If you can't find it, you may need to install it from the MS Office CD. I hope the advice below is helpful in understanding how you can manipulate digital photos. Using Microsoft Photo Editor First start Microsoft Photo Editor on your computer and then open up the photo you wish to work on. (You can open the photo by clicking on File on the Menu Bar of Microsoft Photo Editor, clicking Open and then navigating to where the photo is on your computer.)

If you’ve taken great photos on bushwalks, then enter them in the second annual QBW Photographic Competition. Entries close Tuesday 7th November 2006 Throughout the year keep your eye out for great photos in the following three categories: Nature – Any picture of nature, including landscape, flora and fauna. This image should depict only nature subjects and not show the hand of man. Pictorial – Any general picture, including those with people in it. Club Character – An image of a member of the Club. And remember, all entries are eligible for the Member’s Choice Award - the most popular image as voted by Club members. Entry Size and Presentation Entries are to be prints 6 x 4 inches (15 x 10cm) in size. Entries are to be mounted on white cardboard 5 x 7 inches (12.5 x 18cm) in size. Title, Location, Photographer’s name and Category are to be labeled under the image in the following positions.

You can now do the following manipulations: To resize a photo: a) Click on Image on the Menu Bar of Microsoft Photo Editor and then click on Resize. Change the units to pixels (you have a choice of cm, inches or pixels), and reduce the photo to the required number of pixels. For the Club Newsletter 1200 pixels wide is a good size. b) Click on File on the Menu Bar and then Save As. Save the photo to your hard drive somewhere. By using Save As you can still retain the original photo. To crop a photo: a) Click on the dashed square symbol in the Tool Bar of Microsoft Photo Editor. b) Click, hold and drag with the mouse over the photo the section you wish to crop. You can further adjust the size you want by dragging on the “handles” at the sides or corners of your selection.
