    The road continues on, crossing Cronans Creek a number oftimes until we reach a place where we navigate a short distancethrough rainforest to the creek, just below a waterfall andswimming hole. The creek level will determine whether it is awet feet day or not. If the water level is low, rock hopping maybe possible.

    If the weathers hot and you want to swim, make sure you bringyour swimmers.

    Past Walks

    Bunya Mountains B/C Fri 28 Sept - Mon 1 Oct 2012A small group of five gathered at Dandabah Campground atBunya Mts National Park on Friday afternoon. Some did a shortwalk while others just relaxed and investigated the touristfacilities in the area.

    The campground was not particularly busy even though it wasthe start of a long weekend and the final weekend of the schoolholidays. Helen joined us in the evening for a happy HappyHour-and-a-bit.

    View from Mt Kiangarow

    Saturday began with a car shuffle to Burton's Well leaving a car

    at Westcott campground. We started our walk with a side trip upMt Kiangarow before continuing along the track with a morningtea stop at Ghinghion Lookout, enjoying the wide views out tothe flat plains in the west.

    Further along the track the King orchids were out and many ofthe rocky outcrops were covered with the yellow blooms, aperfect photo opportunity with the Club Photo Competitionclosing soon.

    On the side track to Koondaii Lookout we met a python spreadacross the track, again a popular photo event. The wind hadsprung up and was roaring up the cliffs beneath the lookout sowe were soon on our way.

    Not long after we arrived at our destination. A quick carcollection and we were soon back in camp for afternoon tea, a

    clean-up, and an early happy hour.

    Sunday and our aim was to complete the Paradise Falls circuitstarting from our camp. A very pleasant walk through the Bunyapines brought us to the lovely Paradise Falls then, a short whilelater, a side excursion to the top of Big Falls and lunch. Another

    side track, this time to Barkers Creek Lookout, gave us a viewout to the East.

    That evening the rain came. Thankfully there was a large sheltershed so dinner could be cooked in comfort by those whose tentsweren't suitable for cooking in.

    Monday morning and low clouds blew into the campgroundcreating an eerie atmosphere. Just a short walk around the PineGorge Circuit was planned for this morning. Tim Shea andFestoon Falls were the highlights of this leisurely stroll. Tentswere dry on our return to the campground so it was pack up andhead off home.

    Many thanks to my fellow walkers who joined me on thisrelaxing long weekend. Patricia

    Apple Tree to Purlingbrook 4 November 2012

    I was joined by thirteen happy walkers at Apple Tree picnic areaat Springbrook. We did a short car shuffle to Purlingbrook Fallscarpark before setting off down to Little Nerang Creek along partof the Great Walk track.

    On reaching the creek my intention was to follow an old trackdownstream to a waterfall. Unfortunately, this track is in verybad condition: three large trees to crawl under in the first 100metres. As my walk was only rated 44 and my fellow walkerswere not prepared for a scratchy bush bash, we returned to the

    main track and headed upstream until we found an easy accessto the creek and settled down on the rocks for morning tea.

    Not much further upstream we came to Waringa Pool. No onewas interested in a swim so we kept going to the bottom ofPurlingbrook Falls. The circuit track is still closed due tolandslides so, after walking under the falls and trying not to getwet as the wind blew water onto the track, we climbed up to thetop of the falls and continued on to have lunch in the sheltershed at The Settlement.

    After lunch we returned to the carpark at the top of PurlingbrookFalls, retrieved the cars, and then visited the coffee shop next tothe carpark. What a lovely relaxing finish to a wonderful day.

    Many thanks to everyone who joined me on this walk, with a

    special thanks to the drivers. Patricia

    Coomera Creek Descent 4 November 2012

    Three of us, Mary, Gil and myself, met up at Gil's place and thendrove on to the Binna Burra Information Centre where we metLance. We left one car there and then drove up to Binna Burraitself where we started the walk along the Border Track.

    From the Border Track we turned off to go along the CoomeraCircuit. We had to find the start of the Mystery Track, so calledbecause it is a bit of a mystery where the track starts. It lived upto its name as I missed it and we had to back track about 50metres.

    The Mystery Track was steep and eroded and we made our waycarefully down, especially a crossing perilously close to the top

    of a waterfall. Continuing on we needed to use a rope over aworn out descent into a gully. Further down a fallen tree stoppedour entrance into Coomera Creek and we did a scramble downa cliff wall using some tree roots as hand holds.

    We were at last in the creek and we sat on the dry rocks formorning tea. The creek was fairly dry as we began our walkdownstream. After about 20 minutes we came to a waterfallwhich had to scramble round. This proved the only difficulty aswe were able to walk along the bank for the majority of the time.

    When we got to the Palm Falls side creek we were able to getglimpses of the falls through the trees. A short distance later wefound a sunny spot for lunch.

    At about 300 metres of Gwongoorool Pool we found a rock cairn

    which gave us an easy access to the graded track. From there itwas an easy walk back up to the waiting car.

    We had afternoon coffee from thermoses that Mary and I hadbrought along. It made an enjoyable end to the day.

    Many thanks Richard

    Navigation Using a Map and Compass

    Contours

    Contour lines are lines joining points of equal elevation abovesea level.

    Every fifth contour line is drawn a different colour than theintervening contour lines to assist with the interpretation of thefeatures and to make it easier to judge height differences. Thesethicker contours are usually labelled with the height above sealevel in metres. On Australian topographic maps these numbers

    are written as if you were looking uphill and so is an easy way ofrecognizing which way the contours are increasing in height.

    A contour interval is the difference in elevation between thecontours. The contour interval is usually stated in one of themargins of a topographic map. In 1:25000 scale maps thecontour interval is usually 5 or 10 metres.

    Close spacing between contour lines indicate a very steep slopewhile wide spacing between contour lines indicate a gentleslope.

    Valleys are shown as contours forming a V-shape pointing upthe hill. These V's are always an indication of a drainage pathwhich could contain a stream or river.

    Ridges are shown as contours forming a V-shape down the hill.

    Summits are shown as contours forming circles.

    Marked features on the topo map above are:

    A A summit with the height of 1032 metres.

    B The three B's show a long ridge. Note the streamsflowing down from either side of the ridge.

    C A saddle.

    D Another summit.

    E A steep slope.

    F A gentler slope.G A cliff line. Note how tightly packed the contour linesare to the left and then a hatch pattern is used.

    H The H's show small valleys containing streams. Notethat each pair of H's are separated by a ridge.

    Coordinates

    Grid coordinateseastings and northings

    Grid lines can be used to find or express a location. Grid linesare the equally spaced vertical and horizontal intersecting linessuperimposed over the entire map face. Each line is numberedat the edge of the map face.

    Maps are normally printed so grid north points to the top of thesheet (when the print is the normal way up).

    eastings these are the vertical lines running from top tobottom (north to south). They divide the map from west to east.

    Their values increase towards the east; and northings these are the horizontal lines running from left toright (west to east). They divide the map from north to south.Their values increase towards the north.

    The squares formed by intersecting eastings and northings arecalled grid squares.

    How to determine a grid reference

    A grid reference is used to describe a unique position on theface of the map.

    Important: In a grid reference, the eastings are always quotedfirst..

    The full grid value is always shown in the margins for the gridlines closest to the sheet edges with two of the numbers beingshown heavier than the rest. For the remainder of the grid lines,only these two heavier numbers from the grid value are shown.

    A grid reference is usually represented by six numbers.

    To obtain the grid reference of Point A in the above map:

    1. Locate the vertical grid line to the left of the position and readthe two figure easting value and then estimate in tenths itsdistance from that grid line to the next one. This provides thefirst three figures (eastings) of the six figure grid reference.

    In the above figure the easting value of the vertical dashed lineis 134.

    2. Locate the horizontal grid line below the position and read thetwo figure northing value and then estimate in tenths its distancefrom that grid line to the one immediately above it. This provides

    the last three figures (northings) of the six figure grid reference.The northing value of the horizontal dashed line is 771.

    Hence, the six figure grid reference is: 134 771.
