Pilgrimage 2010 20-22 August 2010

At least 10 members attended the 2010 Pilgrimage at the CrowsNest Show Grounds.

Unfortunately there was drizzly rain on the Friday plus a freezingcold wind. Soup and supper in the shed was provided and firesin drums helped to keep members warm.

On the Saturday a few walks had to be cancelled due to swollencreeks or not enough people on the walk. However the walksthat did go out were interesting with a lot of flowers out includingorchids. The dinner at the Pub and then a dance at the CrowsNest RSL hall led by the Band O' Coots helped to brighten andliven things up.

Sunday morning and there was a sausage sizzle plus a buy andsell swap meet. There was good participation in the Sundaymorning games.

Many thanks to the Toowoomba Bushwalkers Club for hostingthis year's Pilgrimage.

First Aid Training 28 August 2010

10 members attend the annual CPR refresher training with St

John Ambulance on Saturday, 28 Aug 2010, completing animportant event on the Clubs training program.

The training not only updates Club members on new techniquesbut it also enable members to implement the skills they learn ina controlled environment.

Learning the basics of the DRABCD Action Plan, the 10members took to the training enthusiastically, even having a goat doing CPR on the dummy training manikin.

Practising CPR on a dummy is a lot easier than beingconfronted with a real life emergency situation but it is essentialwe do this since research has found that only seven percent ofAustralians feel very confident in administering first aid atserious accidents where people are injured.

After the training we all celebrated with a well earned cup ofcoffee across the road from K2 to which some members laterretreated.

Thanks to all those who attended. Stuart Mackay

Note that the Club encourages every member to have a First AidCertificate. The Club will subsidise at least 50% of the cost of aFirst Aid Course or a CPR refresher course if the member is aleader or is planning to lead a walk.

Presidents Report 2010I would like to give you my Presidents Report for 2010. It hasbeen very busy year with Day Walks, Through Walks, SocialWalks, Abseiling, Bike Riding, Canoeing, Base Camps,Overnight Walks, external Walks and a number of TrainingDays. We can be proud of this number of activities, as we havecome a long way since the beginning of the QueenslandBushwalkers Club.

The total of 141 activities was made up of 96 Day Walks, 14Through Walks and 10 Social Outings and 6 Abseils with the

balance made up of the extra activities. These activities were ledby 30 Leaders, out of 94 members which is around 28%.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Leaders whogave up their time to lead walks or other activities. If it wasnt forLeaders like you the walks would not have gone ahead.

Membership is down on 2009 when QBW had 130 members. In2010 we have 94 members around 28% which is a decrease on2009, despite the fact that we had a large number of newmembers joining QBW in 2010.

This leads me to one of my objectives for 2011 which to is toboost our number with younger members. These would keepQBW alive for many years to come, so I encourage you all tostart introducing new members to the club.

I attended a number of functions throughout the year asPresident, such as Presidents night held by BWQ, a grants nightwhere it was attended by Richard and myself, a number ofmeetings in relation to introducing young members tobushwalking and an Activities Day at South bank where Ihanded out large number of brochures for BWQ and QBW.

This year some members have lost love ones or have beenhospitalized due to some form of illness, accident or have haddisruptions to their normal life styles, all the very best for thefuture and continue to do the walk of life in the bush.

Another objective of mine is to introduce Leaders Training Daysso that QBW can train any member who would like to lead awalk whether it is a track walk, a social walk or off track walks. Ihave been involved in two CareFlight rescues from bush walks.

A leader must understand in what circumstances an Ambulanceshould be called. This is one of the fundamentals of being agood leader and QBW has a wealth of expertise to train leadersin bushwalking protocol.

Finally I would like to thank the committee of 2010 who put therebest foot forward at all times to ensure the club ran smoothly.

Without a good committee, a club cannot operate properly. TheQBW committee has been totally committed and that is onereason why QBW is one of the number one clubs in SEQueensland.

I would like to thank Mary who has supplied supper for our ClubMeetings. The effort that Mary puts into her position on aTuesday Night is appreciated. I would like to also thank thosewho have organised social functions such as social walks, social

nights out and so on.

Finally I would like to thank all the Leaders for leading walks,abseils, bike rides and canoeing. Without you all making thesecommitments QBW would not be the club it is. Gil Gunthorpe

Training Officers ReportThe training year started again with a couple of abseilingexercise conducted on the nursery cliffs at Kangaroo Point.These exercises are designed as a refresher for some of themore experienced abseilers as well as a good introductorysession for beginners being introduced to the sport.

Using some of the more experienced abseilers in the club, wenow have well developed introductory as well as advancedteaching modules that do help advance and maintain ourabseiling skills. The event is also a good show case for the clubfor visitors who come along to these events. The small cost inrunning these events help pay for the upkeep of abseilingequipment and all goes back into the club.

I also ran a couple of introductory compass, map reading andnavigation training mornings out at the Daisy Hill Koala Reserve.These have become quite popular and again, I encourage newmembers to the club to come along to these events as thetraining has been designed to introduce you to basic compassand navigation skills.

Those who have attended past training days have commentedon the boost in confidence they gained having improved on theirown navigation skills.

The last big training event is the Senior First Aid course for clubleaders. We have 8 club members attending the training day thisyear which is held out at St John Ambulance HQ in FortitudeValley.

Some ideas I have for next years training will include:

Walks leaders introductory training (for thoseinterested in becoming a walk leader)

Navigation training

First Aid Training

Abseil Training

Bushwalking Awareness sessions (possibly run onwalk meeting nights)

A special thanks to all who helped out in instructional roles andfor club members in general who have helped make this roleworthwhile. Stuart Mackay

Past Walks

Mt Greville D/W 5 June 2010

Thirteen members met up at Aratula on a fine sunny Saturdayfor this walk up Mt Greville. After some car pooling we drove theshort distance to the Mt Greville car park at the base of themountain.

There are several ways of getting to the summit and a quick askaround showed that a few had not been up the Waterfall Gorge

way. So off we went initially following a graded track which tookus to Waterfall Gorge. The gorge hardly had any water flowing init, so no wet boots. The high walls of the gorge and the palmstrees made for an impressive sight.

On the Spur of the Moment

There was some scrambling around and over boulders and thisproved too much for one member's trousers. As we ascendedthe tear in his pants become wider and longer and he had to berelegated to the tail end. The spiky grass found many ways toaggravate his comfort and it was with some relief he was able topatch his trousers with some safety pins and material much tothe hilarity of the others.

On the way up there are views from a large rock slab about two-thirds of the way up and some views at the summit. Wedescended via a ridge which also gave us great views of thesurrounds. We had lunch a bit off the track on a rocky spur.

There was another diversion further down the ridge where someof the walkers went out onto a rocky spur overlooking WaterfallGorge. It was a great view of the gorge that we had gone up by.

Back at the cars we drove back to Aratula for afternoon coffee.Many thanks to Helen for putting on this walk. Richard

Watson Creek Falls 20 June 2010

It was a fine but cold morning when about eleven walkers met atthe park near the Boonah public toilet block for the drive to theBoonah border gate and the start of our walk to Watson creek

falls.My original plan was to repeat a walk I had done with KenWalters a few years back where we walked down a ridge to thecreek, up the creek to the bottom of the falls then up under a cliffto a break and then to the top of the falls. The only problem Iremember having that time was the difficulty walking up thecreek due to the volume of water running.

At the gate, a local advised us that National Parks had cut a newtrack to the top of the falls and we set out along the border rabbitproof fence towards Mt. Clunie until we picked up the start of thenew track. From there we walked along the track to a fence lineand then did a compass bearing down a ridge towards thecreek.

We soon hit some cliffs and though we contoured to our left for a

way we did not find a convenient break. My memory must befailing me as I did not remember this problem on the previoustrip with Ken.

As this was my first walk as leader for about a year due toserious health problems I did not want to make things toodifficult so I decided to head back to the top of the falls and thentry to find the break we came up through last time to find ourway to the bottom.

On our way back we stopped at nice sunny grassy slope to havea bite of morning tea before continuing. We were soon at the topand tried to get a better view without much success by climbingthe ridge towards Stags Head.

Just as we were leaving Maggie Samootin discovered she had

dropped her camera and while she and Richard Kolarskireturned to the spot we had morning while the rest of the grouphad a rest I went off to see if I could find the cliff break. I found ita lot easier than I thought I would so returned to find Maggie andRichard back minus the camera so we all headed off downthrough the cliff break to the bottom of the falls.

Watson's Falls

It was fairly easy going for a while but we had to negotiate somefairly steep and loose slopes over the last bit before we reachedthe creek. Richard K. Was a great help here by going ahead andfinding the best route down. We reached the creek about 100metres below the falls and though there wasnt much water in

the creek, care had to be taken as there was a bit of flood debristo avoid and as the sun does not shine into the gorge at thistime of year the rocks were a little slippery.

We were soon at the base of the falls and though not asspectacular as last time I was there due to reduced flow of waterstill a very beautiful and spectacular place.

6/6

After a fairly cold lunch break we retraced our steps back up tothe cliff break. The going up over the steep and loose slopesseemed a lot easier on the return trip and we were soon at thetop of the cliff break and heading back towards the rabbit fence.

By this time I was starting to feel the pinch and as I slowlyclimbed the last hill along the fence I realised my road torecovery was going to be long and hard. I eventually caught withthe rest of the group who had stopped and found Maggiescamera where she had dropped it earlier that morning so wehad a good result all round.

Returning to the cars we soon headed back to Boonah for somerefreshments but not before myself and a couple of othersducked into the Dugandan pub for a quick snort. Thanks to allthose who came and made the walk a success and I must admitit was good to be back in the drivers seat again. David Kenrick

Lost World D/W 26 June 2010

Thirteen club members showed up at Macca's at Beaudesertand after sorting out car pooling we drove down towards Kerry.

After some confusion on where to park we finally were ready tostart the walk up to this mountain which has been called LostWorld as as it is surrounded by steep cliff lines, reminiscent ofthe mountain in South America.

We walked through a paddock where some cows were grazing

and then went up on a ridge line. An old road made the goingeasy. However we then got on to the ridge leading to Lost Worldand this was where the excitement began. It was a narrow ridgeand there were occasional rocky outcrops blocking the way. Wehad to scramble up, over or around them. The final part up tothe plateaux was also difficult as it was a steep climb up agrassy slope with some exposure.

We all made it safely up to the plateaux and had morning tea atthe campsite. John then led us up and over Lost World down arazorback ridge for views down into the Albert River valleys.Here we had lunch admiring the view.

We returned the same way though it was more difficult as wecould see the depths below us.

Afternoon tea at Macca's in Beaudesert finished the day offnicely. Many thanks to John for putting on this walk. Richard

Mt Warning 10 July 2010

Five of us met at Yatala Pies on a cloudy, cool day and droveSouth to Murwillumbah then headed to Mt Warning Car park.

Mt Warning is known to the Aboriginal people as 'Wollumbin'meaning 'cloud catcher' or 'weather maker' which describesexactly what the weather was like on the day.

We walked along the track in drizzle through superb rainforest,listening to the birds. The views along the way were a completewhite out. The National Parks people have been doing somework with repairs to track paving, construction of rock walls tostabilise slopes and a new chain from the bottom to the top of

the steep bit. Helicopter drops of additional materials awaitfurther work.

Mt Warning

After scrambling up the steep section we all needed a rest. Theview from 1157m was cloudy, but at times we had great views ofthe East Coast. We sat in the warmth of the sun and ate ourlunch.

On the return trip it rained and we passed many people traipsingthrough puddles of water up the mountain.

Afternoon tea at The Gallery Cafe was much enjoyed byeveryone. The cakes were delicious. THE BEST EVER!!!!

Thanks to Gail, Geraldine, Bob, and Nev for coming on thiswonderful walk. Noelene

Mt Matheson 11 July 2010

8 members took off from the Aratula amenties on a relativelywarm clear 12 deg morn for Spicers Gap campground.

Mt Matheson track has been "burn cleared" in parts makingwalking easier. Great views were had on the way of the MtMitchell cliffs, Mt Cordeaux and Mt Castle in distance.

Mt Matheson

We lunched at the Governor's Chair cliff. Total trip of 8.1km took3 hrs including back to the campground start.

We hit the usual Aratula Cafe at peak tourist-hour. One of our

group's food order No. 78 came out of the Cafe kitchen thrice insuccession as 3 different items, and was claimed by 3 separatecustomers, causing much confusion each time which added toour merriment. Felt like "Groundhog Day". Cheers John H
