Sbi Sbi Social 20 October 2006
Eight people came along to enjoy some genuine Thai cuisine at
a restaurant in Manly. There was a constant stream of people
who had ordered takeaways entering and leaving the restaurant
and this was a good sign of the quality of the food.
There was plenty of discussion about the items on the menu
before ordering. It mostly centred on how hot the curries may
be and some people played it safe. At last report there were no
bad incidents!
Conversations were animated during the meal and continued
on till late. In fact we were the last to leave the restaurant.
Many thanks to Paul, Lorraine, Ken, Marie, Bob, Danuta and
Patricia for coming along and a special thanks to Barbara for
organising the night out. Richard

Training Quiz
Previous Month’s Questions:
Does a 1:25,000 map show more detail than a 1:100,000 map?
How far apart are the eastings marked on a map?
Answers
On a 1:25,000 map, 1 cm on the map represents 25,000 cm on
the ground (i.e. 250 metres).
On a 1:100,000 map, 1 cm on the map represents 100,000 cm
on the ground (i.e. 1 kilometre).
Thus a 1:25,000 map shows more detail than a 1:100,000 map.
How far apart are the eastings is a bit of a trick question. On
topographic maps of 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:100,000 the
eastings are 4 cm, 2 cm and 1 cm apart respectively, but they
all represent the same distance (1 kilometre) on the ground.
Next Month’s Questions are:
What do the terms True North, Grid North and Magnetic North
mean and what do they represent on a topographic map?
What do the terms grid convergence, magnetic declination and
Grid/Magnetic angle represent?
EPA Draft Management Plans
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to prepare
draft management plans for the following national parks,
conservation park and recreation area:
· Barron Gorge National Park,
· Byfield National Park,
· Byfield Conservation Park,
· Girraween National Park,
· Lamington National Park,
· Wooroonooran National Park
· Inskip Recreation Area.
The Queensland Federation of Bushwalking Clubs (QFBWC) is
asking for assistance in providing information and suggestions
as to what should be included in a Federation submission.
QFBWC already has a submission (not yet sent) on Sundown
and Girraween.
Replies should be sent to the Federation secretary at
qfbwc@yahoo.com.au, with a copy to the president at
johnandcatherine@telstra.com.
A guide to assist with making submissions can be obtained
from the EPA website at www.epa.qld.gov.au/parkplans or by
telephoning the EPA Customer Service Centre on (07) 3227
8185.
The closing date for submissions is 12 December 2006.
Campsite Monitoring
A new impact assessment form is now to be used in campsite
monitoring. The structure of the assessment is now closely
aligned to the QPWS 'Landscape Classification' policy. This
new procedure has been discussed at previous campsite
monitoring meetings and it is now supported at the highest level
by departmental policy.
More information on the Landscape Classification System is
available at http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/publications?id=1027
This new monitoring means that the results of assessments will
be directly linked to ground management.
QPWS will provide training in using this new assessment form
and have suggested the next annual meeting, scheduled for
Saturday 3rd February, as the day.
Any person interested in knowing more about Campsite
monitoring please contact Richard at 3341 7509
 Past Walks
Emu Creek B/C 1-2 July 2006
Five hardy souls met up early at Aratula for this weekend at
Emu Creek. We still had another 1½ hr drive to our campsite
and when we arrived we found other campers had their tents
there already but had already departed on a walk.
We set up our own tents to secure our place and then drove a
short distance back to get to the beginning of the walk to
Panorama Point.
It began as a slow trudge uphill along a lightly wooded slope
and then along a narrow ridge but as we arrived at the Scenic
Rim we were greeted with magnificent views out to the east.
We could plainly see Panorama Point in the distance but there
were still some uphill sections. Time was ticking on and we split
into two groups, with the faster group going ahead and the
slower group following, hoping to make it to our destination
before the “turn-around time”. Fortunately we all made it to
Panorama Point for lunch and still have enough time to get
back to camp before dark.
Panorama Point
Back at the campsite we met our fellow campers for the first
time and had a merry conversation with them around the
campfire.
The next morning was again chilly with ice on the tables and
cars as we prepared for our walk. This was to an unnamed
peak, at least on the map, near Bald Mountain.
Again it was an uphill climb and then we had to find a way up a
short cliff face. There was a small break in the cliff but it was
very loose underfoot and we all needed to take care. We
eventually made it to the summit and enjoyed morning tea
looking out over the Steamers to the north.
We had plenty of time to explore now to explore this area where
not many bushwalkers had ventured before. We made a few
interesting discoveries. First, there were many pink tags and
other markers on a grassy section of the summit. Enquiries later
by Ken established there had been a research team exploring
animal numbers.
Another discovery was the thick untouched rainforest which
covered the area. This was luxuriant green mossy rainforest
and Ken later found it was being prepared for World Heritage
listing. A final discovery was a hollowed tree which had been
struck by lightning. We were able to crawl inside the tree and
looking up there was an otherworldly blue glow coming through
from the top. An amazing experience.
We headed back down and there were a few spills and thrills as
we clambered down the cliff section. Jill’s legs were a sight from
the scratches and abrasions.
Back at the campsite we packed and headed home. However
the obligatory afternoon tea stop at Aratula was enjoyed by all.
Many thanks to Ken for putting on a great weekend. Richard

Yabba Exploratory 7 July 2006
A small collection of brave souls went on this exploratory outing
on a Friday.
Unfortunately time did not allow us to venture into the bowels of
the creek system and we had to limit our activities to exploring
around the country overlooking the waterfall area. With this we
discovered some areas containing lantana that are best to be
avoided in the future.
Yabba Gorge
The outing was invaluable to further investigate the options that
might be used for a more comprehensive visit in the future. We
managed to get a glimpse of a spectacular spot.
The next visit is already in the planning. Trevor D.
Flinders Peak 2 July 2006
If you’ve never done Flinders Peak you’ll be Surprised! The
Ipswich City Council has provided a car park, a toilet block, a
picnic area including an electric BBQ and a huge display of the
local Flora and Fauna. The Council knew we (QBW) were
coming on this date 2 months earlier and I think they brought in
a backhoe to clean up all the creek crossings. The best thing
about an electric BBQ other than being free is you can roll out a
piece of aluminium foil if you didn’t want to clean it up
spotlessly.
It’s close to Brisbane, only 15 minutes from the Mc Donald’s at
Yamanto, which was our meeting place early on a freezing
Sunday morning. Within the first 300m of the walk though, we
were taking a couple of layers off, for it wasn’t cold anymore
just fresh, clear and exhilarating.
It’s not easy and you’ll soon be puffing and panting but it’s all
good for you, so I keep telling myself. Anyone of any age could
do this walk. The track is easy to follow but does disappear
whilst rock hopping the ridges but can soon be picked up again
by keeping left on the way up and keeping right on the way
down. Even the least fit person can do this walk in under 2
hours one-way. And for those who only want to go one way
there is a helicopter pad up the top!
I borrowed 2 UHF radios and a rope in case all of the 134 club
members rolled up for my first leaders walk, but sadly didn’t
need them. But a good sign of a successful day was a noisy
group who didn’t want to leave the top.
Thanks to Gil and Muriel, Margie R, Bob H, James P, and his
son Ben for a memorable day.
I’d like to also take this opportunity to praise our Club for the
diverse variety of walk leaders available to us, from easy to
extreme walks, all enjoyable even if I can’t walk properly for 3
day after a long one. The Club is only going to get bigger and
better.
We passed 20 other people during the day, including 1
intoxicated walker carrying more supplies for the top and we
passed another woman whom 3 of my members knew. It is a
small world.
And of all the walks I’ve been on, the funniest was a walk to
Larapinta Falls with Ken W back on 17-4-05 when we came
across a male nudist about the size of a walrus sun baking over
a huge boulder. Talk about scared for life!
The view from the top of Flinders Peak was great, Mt Coot-tha,
Moreton Bay, Moreton Island, Jimboomba, Beaudesert, Mt
Barney, the Great Dividing Range, and the Amberley Air Force
Base. If one was contemplating getting fit for Mt Everest or the
likes, Flinders Peak would be a good training ground and to
loose those excess kilos, or just a place to read a paper or a
book during the next Amberley Air Show.
To get there travel south along the Ipswich Boonah Road, then
turn left into Mt Flinders Road and follow the dirt road to end.
Please note only large groups require approval from the Ipswich
City Council. Ph 3810 6810. Regards Ian F.
Mt Tempest, Moreton Island T/W 9-10 July 2006
This being a Sunday/Monday walk, few people were able to
consider joining in but we were a merry band of five, Margaret,
Noelene, Gail, Richard and myself.
We caught the 8.30am ferry across to Tangalooma. This is a
new ferry since I last went to Moreton. The trip takes only one
hour. Unfortunately, the coffee machine was not working.
A taxi was waiting to take us across the island along Middle
Road and up the beach on the eastern side to the Blue Lagoon
campground. While driving up the beach we were lucky to see
whales. One group of whales kept leaping out of the water and
smacking their tails down hard making a big splash. They kept
this up for as long as we could see them.
We found a spacious shaded campsite with lots of birds not far
from the amenities. Tents went up before morning tea. It was
only a short walk to the Lagoon so we decided to explore a bit
and find a nice place for lunch.
We decided to walk along the beach for a couple of kilometers
towards the lighthouse. It looked so close but was actually
about eight kilometers away. We soon tired of trudging along in
the sand and turned inland and found vehicle tracks that took
us all the way back to our camp.
After all that strenuous sand walking it was time for an
afternoon nap. Afternoon tea came next followed by a stroll to
the beach, back to camp to sit around and chat then dinner.
Stars came out with only a thin cloud and a nip in the air. We
played ‘Spot the satellite’ for a while then all had an early night.
The birds woke us early. The sky was blue and the temperature
pleasantly warm. Today was our walking day.
The Tempestuous Women
We headed south along the beach for about a kilometre before
turning west onto the Bulwer road. Gradually uphill along soft
sand for four kilometres with a stop at Honeyeater Lake lookout
for photos and a new game called ‘Spot Margaret’s earring’, we
were all glad to reach the old Telegraph Track turn-off and stop
for morning tea.
We were now on the old track that serves as a fire trail. The
sand was covered with a thick layer of leaves and plant litter so
the walking was much easier than on the road though it was still
a gradual climb.
Page 5 of 8
Eight kilometres later with one last steep climb we reached the
Mt Tempest turn-off and our lunch stop. This is a steep two
kilometre return side trip so we hid our packs in the bush and
traveled light. About halfway up we started getting great views
out to the east.
A staircase marked the final push to the top where a fenced
clearing allowed for 360 degree views of the island. We were
running short of time so our stay at the top was brief. Back
down to our packs for another couple of kilometres’ walk down
to Middle Road to meet the taxi for our trip back to meet the
3.30pm barge.
Great drama on the ferry trip back; the coffee machine was still
not working! Gail managed to get a free sausage roll as
compensation, and then she went back for free tomato sauce
as well. The hot chocolate was good, anyway.
Thanks to my companions for sharing a pleasant two days. A
special thanks to Richard and Neville, the drivers. Patricia
Mt Clunie 15 July 2006
The day was overcast and gloomy as we approached our
starting point past Boonah. The top of Mt Clunie was in cloud
and rain was threatening. This did not deter us, and, after a
short car shuttle, we began the hour long walk along a dirt road.
After reaching a former cattle yard, though it looked like it had
not been used for that purpose for quite a few years, we turned
off the road for the traverse of Mt Clunie.
We set off up a gentle slope at first and had morning tea beside
an enormous Stinging Tree. One of the group had a tape
measure and found it to be 13 metres in circumference!
The way uphill now became much steeper as we approached a
couple of cliff lines. Here we contoured round till we found a
break in the cliff and carefully scrambled up. As we ascended
we entered cloud and a fine drizzle began. It was also quite
cold and we had to keep a good pace up to keep warm.
We descend partly down a wrong ridge at one stage and so
had to double back to get our bearings before finding the
correct ridge to descend. As the light rain continued we were
glad when we finally arrived at the high cliffs near the summit.
Here we found some refuge from the biting wind and even
found a small dry area to have lunch in the lee of the cliff.
After a short lunch we continued on. There were no views as
we were completely in cloud. It was with relief that we greeted
the rabbit fence. Now we were on the final section of the walk
but it was a slippery steep descent along this notorious section
of the rabbit fence. It kept on raining as we approached the car
left at the end of the walk.
We were all glad then to change into clean dry clothes at the
cars. It was a slow and careful drive back to Boonah as the dirt
road was also slippery. At Boonah we had a welcome afternoon
tea in a cafe with a log fire. Hot chips and drinks took away the
last of the chill.
Many thanks to Dean for this, his first, as a leader. Richard
Cainbable Falls 15 July 2006
Light, misty rain was falling as our group of seven began
walking north from the Duck Creek Road. At first the track was
a little hard to follow, as there had been a few tree falls but we
all became better at picking up the faint detours. As we headed
towards the falls the track had a gradual downwards incline
through thick rainforest.
Not a lot of water was flowing in the creek but with the rain, we
were wary of slippery rocks. It is difficult to actually see the falls
so we settled for the views across towards the north-west.
Morning tea was had on the rocks at the top of the first rise
beside the escarpment. We were almost finished when it
started raining in earnest.
Heading uphill a bit more the track became difficult to see so
there was a bit of wandering around before Neville rediscovered
the path for us to follow.
At the top of the rise was the old road that we followed back to
Duck Creek Road. We then turned towards the cars, stopping
for lunch along the way. A few rain showers during the day but
we were still cheerful as we planned our coffee stop.
We traversed the plateau passing through sclerophyll forest to
thick rainforest to grassy areas. We arrived at a rock cairn near
a stand of Antarctic Beech and from there we had to navigate
carefully to get on the right ridge to the Worendo saddle. With
map and compass Ann led us and soon we were on another
razorback ridge leading down. Again magnificent views on the
way down and we stopped for a well earned lunch at the
campsite in the saddle.

Cainbable Falls
Afternoon tea was had at the alpaca farm with the rain falling
and a cold wind blowing up the valley. Luckily there was
enough room for us to sit inside. A big new deck has been built
there so we need to go back on a fine day to check out the
view. In the Saddle of Mt Worendo

Thanks to my fellow walkers with a special welcome to Russell
who was on his first walk with the Club. Patricia
Mt Moon 16 July 2006
Walk Leader Kerry de Clauzel
Team - Sandy, Muriel, Jill, Gail, James, David, Wayne, John,
James, Lynn, Gil
It was an overcast day as we arrived at the farm at around
9.00am. Following an introductory talk by Kerry we headed off
around 9.30am.
We trekked across the farm paddock till we reached a fence
line. From here on it was a gradual climb towards the top of Mt
Moon.
We stopped for morning tea about half way up. Following
morning tea the climb upwards became a little steeper with all
walkers sticking together. We reached the summit around 12.30
where we dropped packs and went on a little further up Mt
Moon for better views. Following this ½ hour return walk we had
lunch.
The views from the top were spectacular. We had good views
of Mt Greville, Mt Barney, Mt Lindesay and various other
predominant peaks and valleys.
The walk down was fairly rapid with occasional diversion thrown
in to keep us all on our toes and we arrived back at the cars
around 4.30pm.
After driving around Boonah trying to find a coffee shop open
without success, we pressed on to the ever-faithful McDonalds
at Beaudesert.
A great walk and well led by Kerry. Gil
We were right on schedule as we dropped down into the Albert
River. However the recent rain made the rocks in the creek
extremely slippery. Also the creek was overgrown with Mist
Weed making it difficult to see where you were putting your
feet. We were grateful when we could walk on the bank instead
of the creek so that we had a better footing.
There were many spills by all of us as we made our way slowly
downstream. We had to cross the creek several times but
thankfully the final section was a clear track taking us back to
the cars. There after nine hours of walking and scrambling we
happily changed into clean dry clothes left in the cars.
Afternoon tea in Beaudesert finished the day nicely.
Many thanks to Anne for putting on a fine sunny day for this
walk. Richard
Overland Track in Winter, Tasmania 26 June – 5 July
Doing the Overland Track in winter is no easy task especially
when most of it was done solo. Paul and Dave started together,
but then Paul had to pull out due to a relative being seriously ill.
Dave was prepared for heavy snow and had even made his
own snowshoes. However a call to the ranger a day before
leaving for Tasmania and was told there was no snow on the
track. Thus the snowshoes stayed at home.
However Dave reported that it did snow on the first and last day
of the walk but only about 1 cm.

Lost World and Albert River 29 July 2006

Seven of us met early at Beaudesert for this potentially long
day. Anne had done this walk several times before and knew
that we had to be at various points by a definite time to avoid
walking in the creek at night.
It had rained heavily the previous two days but it was fine and
clear though a bit chilly as we prepared for the walk near the
Lost World Guest House.
The first section of the walk was up a steep ridge which got the
heart going. The ridge then eased slightly but it was still up and Winter Wonderland Walk

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF QUEENSLAND BUSHWALKERS CLUB INC.

Scope
I have audited the financial report, being a special purpose financial report, of Queensland Bushwalkers Club Inc. for the year ended
30 June 2006. The Committee is responsible for the financial report and has determined that the accounting policies used and
described in Note 1 to the financial statements which form part of the financial report are appropriate to meet the requirements of the
Associations Incorporation Act Queensland and are appropriate to meet the needs of the members. I have conducted an independent
audit of this financial report in order to express an opinion on it to the members of Queensland Bushwalkers Club Inc. No opinion is
expressed as to whether the accounting policies used are appropriate to the needs of the members.
The financial report has been prepared for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act, Queensland.
I disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report or on the financial report to which it relates to any person
other than the members, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
My audit has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. My procedures included examination, on a test basis,
of evidence supporting the amounts and other disclosures in the financial report and the evaluation of significant accounting estimates.
These procedures have been undertaken to form an opinion whether, in all material respects, the financial report is presented fairly in
accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 so as to present a view which is consistent with our understanding of the
Association's financial position, and performance as represented by the results of its operations and its cash flows. These policies do
not require the application of all Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia.
The audit opinion expressed in this report has been formed on the above basis.
Qualification
As is common for organisations of this type, it is not practicable for the Queensland Bushwalkers Club Inc. to maintain an effective
system of internal control over donations and fund raising activities until their initial entry into the records. Accordingly, my audit in
relation to donations and fund raising was limited to amounts recorded.
Qualified Audit Opinion
In my opinion, subject to the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the limitation
discussed in the qualification paragraph not existed, the financial report presents fairly in accordance with the accounting policies
described in Note 1 to the financial statements the financial position of Queensland Bushwalkers Club Inc. as at 30 June 2006, and the
results of its operations for the year then ended.
