Less than twenty miles from the City, it is generously provided with picnic and sporting facilities. Around National Park: WATTAMOLLA and GARIE Garie and Wattamolla are two of the best known of the several beaches in National Park. Fine views of the Hacking River weir are seen in an easy run of 37i miles to these two surf beaches. At Garie there is a surf patrol in at- tendance, making bathing safe for the public. Camping and parking areas and a kiosk provide all that is necessary for tourists. Good fishing is also to be had at Garie. Wattamolla (aboriginal for "place close to water") is 29 miles from Sydney. Nearby there is an excellent lagoon which provides safe swimming. The parking area is controlled by the National Park Trust, which makes a nominal daily charge. A well-stocked kiosk caters for the visiting public. Wattamolla is linked with the early history of New South Wales. It was the inlet in which Bass and Flinders sought shelter from a storm during their exploratory voyage, with a lad named Martin as the third member of the crew, in the small boat "Tom Thumb". THE ROUTE. The motorist follows the Princes High- way through Sutherland (17^ miles) to to the turn-off to the left into National Park, just past Loftus. Audley is 1.8 miles further on. From here Stevens Drive is taken to Wattamolla (29'). To get to Garie drive 2 miles back along the road from Wattamolla where a road left links up wilh the Garie road 3.5 miles further on. Garie Beach is 1.8 miles to the left. Rugged coastline and beautiful beaches reward the traveller to Austinmer, ivhere there are admirable surfing facilities. 21 Coal Cliff, Illaivarra District, a 'magnificent cliff drive for those who like coastal scenery. STANWELL THIRROUL PARK, AUSTINMER and WOLLONGONG 'T'HERE arc few more popular beaches than the South Coast resorts of Stanwell Park, Austinmer, Thirroul and North Wollongong. All can be taken in on a 55-mile trip from Sydney. Austinmer, 43 miles from Sydney by the "lower" coast road to Bulli, has two beaches and a promenade along a sea- w^all. The beaches are next to the road which is on the ocean side of the South Coast railway. The Illawarra Range is on the western side of the line. The Princes Highway runs along the top of the range. Sublime Point, rising to 1300 ft. which gives an outstandingly fine view of the coast, is accessible by track from Austin- mer. There are two fine rock pools and on the beaches there are Sunday life-saving patrols and a permanent life-saver on other days. Dressing sheds, kiosk, grassed area and sheds for picnicking provide the ameni- ties. Fine mountain scenery surrounds popu- lar resort, Stanwell Park, 35^ miles from Sydney, also on the "lower" coast road. The view from the road on the top of Bald Hill is one of the finest in New South Wales. Life-savers patrol the beach at Stan- well Park on Sundays and holidays; a reel and line are always on hand. There is a lagoon suitable for children. Amenities include dressing sheds, kiosk, games area and picnic facilities. Thirroul (aboriginal for "hollow" or "valley"), 44| miles from Sydney, via Stanwell Park and Austinmer or by the Princes Highway and Bulli Pass, is noted 22 South Coast Charm . . . for its surf beach and its proximity to Bulli Pass, which may be ascended to the Lookout in 2^ miles. Thirroul is an important railway depot, being the mar- shalling yard for the South Coast. Thirroul provides a romantic link with the past. The heavy scrub that originally covered the site was said to have been cleared by women convicts, who were camped where the town now stands. One of the convicts, Elizabeth, escaped and was never recaptured. Years later her skeleton and that of her lover, another convict, were found in a cave overlooking the sea, a few miles north of Thirroul. Wollongong (aboriginal for "hard ground near water"), is 8 miles further on than Thirroul. It is an important industrial centre as well as a popular tourist spot. It has two fine surf beaches, on the northern one are excellent rock baths though many prefer the tiled beach pool at Thirroul. Safe bathing is also available in Fairy Creek in Stuart Park, which adjoins the beach. Motorists may camp in the park. Wollongong lays claim to the fact, also, that it was the first municipality proclaimed in New South Wales. The district coal and coke industries are largely augmented by the big in- dustrial steel, iron and electrolytic enter- prises at Port Kembla four miles to the south. Robertson Lookout, 1500 ft., above sea level, on the summit of Mt. Kiera, provides one of the finest views along the coast. A life-saver is on duty at Wollongong from the commencement of the Christmas holidays to the end of the season. In the beach area there are dressing sheds, a kiosk at main building and picnic ground with shelters. THE ROUTE. Follow the route from Sydney as for the trip to Wattamolla as far as where the turn-off is made to Audley. Instead continue on the Princes Highway to the turn-off to the left, 12.8 miles further on. The "lower" coast road is reached at 2.6 miles, where a turn right is made and Stanwell Park reached .8 miles later. From here it is a straight run through CoalclifF, Clifton, Scarborough, Wom- bara, Coledale and Austinmer to Thirroul. Here the Princes Highway is reached. This takes the tourist on to Wollongong.

Pretty bushland and grassy country walks are here for those not intent on making the full journey, while there is a camping ground in a lovely setting by the river. A little further on NORTON'S BASIN, at the junction of the NEPEAN and WARRAGAMBA RIVERS, is in interesting and delightful soot. From SILVERDALE to WEROMBI and COBBITY is a pleasant drive over hill and dale through attractive scenery, orchards and orange groves. A pause should be made at Cobbity if only to inspect its many historic buildings, including St. Paul's Church, which was erected in 1840.

The return is made via Richmond, another historic town, and on to Wind- sor, then back to Sydney as you came (in all 119 miles). 31 The Explorers Tree, at Katoomba; the tree was marked by Lawson, Wentworth and Blaxland during their hist4)ric journey over the Blue Moun- tains in 1813. KURRAJONG, BELL, KATOOMBA The finest vantage points overlooking the famed valleys and heights of the Blue Mountains are on this 163-niile run. There are several fine lookouts near Katoomba and Blackheath, such as Cyclorama Point, on the Cliff Drive, Echo Point, Evan's Lookout, Govett's Leap, Mount Blackheath Lookout, and Perry's Lookout. On the return trip via Mount Tomah and Bilpin excellent bush country is passed through. From Kurrajong Heights the Hawkesbury can be seen winding through rich alluvial flats many hundreds of feet below. From here the most extensive view of the eastern side of the Blue Mountains is obtained. THE ROUTE. From Sydney the Broadway is fol- lowed to the University (left) and then Parramatta Road to Parramatta. From Church Street the Western Highway is taken to the left and the way is well defined to Penrith (33.2 miles). On the western side of Penrith the bridge over the Nepean River is crossed. A short distance further on the tourist commences the climb over the eastern slopes of the Blue Mountains, and from the top of Lapstone Hill the West- ern Highway is easily followed to Springwood (46.3), Lawson and Kat- oomba (65.3). From here it is an easy run to Mount Victoria (76.4), where the highway is left by turning right at an hotel. Follow the railway line to Hartley Vale station and cross the line near Bell. Five miles further on the tourist has the choice of two routes — to the left through picturesque country to Mount Wilson and Mount Irvine, from which a very narrow and winding road through the mountains may be taken over Bowen's Creek to the Bilpin-Kurrajong road. The more direct route goes through heavily timbered country to Mt. Tomah (99.5) and 6.8 miles further on reaches the point where the Bowen's Creek Road joins on the left. Bilpin (105.2) is reached after easy going which continues until Kurrajong Heights (112.9). Past the hotel a descent is made to Kurmond and Richmond (123.6). The route is easy to follow to Windsor (128.2), from which the Windsor Road is taken to Parramatta and on to Sydney (163.1). 32 Is l.^iis ,53^ Hit ■ST?- -n^si-E 3 •• I ■ Jervis Bay, where there is excellent fishing to he had, as well as swimming and boating. Through the Picturesque ^ SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS . . . BOWRAL, FITZROY FALLS AND KANGAROO VALLEY Everything for the tourist— fishing and glorious scenic mountain spots— awaits him at the end of the 120-mile trip via the Hume Highway and Mittagong to Nowra. This fair-sized town on the Shoalhaven River is within short driving distance of Jervis Bay (port of the Federal Capital), St. George's Basin and Narooma, and to Cambewarra Mountain Lookout and Kangaroo Valley. The return trip, shorter by 20 miles, may be made via the Princes Highway. ' ' THE ROUTE. Leaving Sydney via George Street, Parramatta Road is reached after one mile. This is followed to Haberfield (5.0) where a left hand turn is taken on to the Hume Highway. North Bankstown is reached at 12 miles, Liver- pool 20 miles, Narellan 35 miles, and Camden 37i miles. From here on the drive becomes most interesting and Razorback Mountain is crossed nine miles after leaving Camden. Picton is reached 51 miles out of Sydney. Passing through Tahmoor and Bargo, still on the Hume Highway, Mitta- gong is reached at 79 miles. Just out of Mittagonq _, „ ., „ . .^ . ... the tourist leaves the ^"^ Burragorang Valley, a favourite spot with Hume Highway and turns Sydney motorists. 34 PLACES OF INTEREST left where Bowral is reached after three miles. Six miles further on the road to the right is taken at the crossroads. This is followed to Nowra. crossing the road to Mossvale and Robertson (12 miles from Mittagong).

For those who prefer the ocean there is Catherine Hill Bay, 24 miles south of Newcastle, and numerous other beaches at the suburban spots of Merewether, Bar Beach and Stockton. For those who seek longer runs, Muswellbrook is a town well worth visiting, with its many parks, baths, modern shops and attractive scenery. Muswellbrook is one of the largest towns between Newcastle and Tamworth on the New England Highway, with a caravan park adjoining the baths. It is one of the best of the Ne England runs. The fine lines of Newcastle's CiUj Hall are an example of the pride which the citizens tajce in this modern industrial and tourist centre On the following pages we give suggestions for interesting and attractive tours within easy reach of Newcastle. Routes and mileages, as well as points of interest and beauty spots are given. • • Page To Nelson's Bay 39 To Tea Gardens 39 To Morpeth 40 To Paterson 40 To Dora Creek 40 To Budgewoi and Norahville 18 To Dungog and Chichester Dam 41 37 City of Newcastle Main Thoroughfares 38 To Nelson's Bay on Port Stephens Nelson's Bay, 31 miles from Newcastle, is prettily situated in a sheltered position from which an expansive view over Port Stephens is obtained. Sandy tracks negotiable by car run to Shoal Bay, where facilitii?s arc available for fishing enthusiasts, and beyond to the southern of the two tali headlands (Tomaree) overlooking the entrance. A panoramic view which equals any- thing along the coast can be had from the rocky side of the headland, which can only be gained by a climb on foot up the steep and rocky side. From the headland most of the port to the west is in view, with a number of islands, including Broughton Island, breaking the even blue of the Pacific. Immediately below, on the southern side To Tea Gardens is a succession of small beaches popular with anglers. THE ROUTE. From Newcastle the ferry is taken to Stockton. Four miles along the route the mental hospital and golf links to the right are passed. Another 5 miles along VVilliamtown is reached. Keep to the highway, disregarding turncffs to the left. Anna Bay is reached 23 miles from Newcastle. Tea Gardens, widely known among tourists and particularly among fishermen, is the most important settlement in the Lower Myall district. A good motoring rord leads for the greater part of the 47 miles from New- castle to Tea Gardens on the northern shore of Port Stephens. Just off the township estuary fish are Hunter River is crossed. From here abundance, while along the Lower Myall River into Myall Lakes is another fishermen's paradise. A store boat runs regularly from Tea Gardens, along the Ex)wer Myall to Broadwater, thence through tc Bulah- delah. THE ROUTE. Leaving Newcastle the Mainland road to Raymond Terrace rich dairying flats are driven through. Twenty-six miles from Newcastle the Pacific Highway is left at the turn-off to Karuah on ihe right. Six miles further on the Karuah River is crossed by punt. is followed as tar as Hexham, where the Tea Gardens is 15 miles further on. Fortiter c a n be reached via the My- all Lakes and Tea Gardens; a pleasant diversion. There arc iiianit camp'ng spots aroiDid Dim /irahl and Wallis Lake. 39 Newcastle: Hunter Valley Vistas To Morpeth Ample time to spend picnicking on the Hunter River is provided on the short and pleasant trip to Morpeth in the coalfield district of Maitland. The distance via the New England Highway as far as East Maitland is 22^ miles. Return may be made through Miller's Forest to Raymond Terrace and back to Newcastle along the Pacific Highway. Immediately to the north of Maitland are the renowned Bolwarra Flats. From Bolwarra Heights, two miles from West Maidand stretch ;s some of the finest grazing country in New Scu.h Wales. The undulating grars land ex- tends up the several tributaries of the Hunter River towards Barring'.on Tops. THE ROUTE. From Newcastle take the New England Highway through Mayfield, Hexham, Tarro ao East Maitland. Half-mile further on turn right and at the crossroads take the centre road to Morpeth, which is 3^ miles further on. To Paterson Hunting and fishing enthusiasts are well catered for at Paterson in the Hunter River Valley. The banks of the willow-lined Paterson River provide excellent spots for a peaceful and profitable afternoon with rod and line. Perch is usually plentiful. In the surrounding locality game abounds. Paterson is 32^ miles from Newcastle via West Maidand. THE ROUTE. Follow the New England Highway from Newcastle to West Maitland (20^) v/here a turn right is made on to the Gresford road. Continue on this road past a turn-off to the left three miles from West Mait- land. The road from East Maitland joins the road 1^ miles further on. Woodville is reached after another mile. Paterson is reached after driving a further 6^ milcc. To Dora Creek Lake views of Lake Macquarie at Toronto, picnic spots at Wangi Wangi Peninsula and an enjoyable scenic driv; from Eraring are to be had in a tour to Dora Creek from Newcastle. Distance for the trip is 33^ miles. THE ROUTE. There are a number of alternative routes from Newcastle to Toronto, main centre of the Lakes District, but the one most recommended is that via Cardiff. Out of Newcastle the Pacific Highway is followed to Broadmeadow (2j miles) through the outer suburbs. Here the Highway is left and the tourist continues en to Cardiff (8 miles). Cockle Creek which leads off Lake Macquarie, is crossed from Boo'.aroo (11^ miles) and the drive continues to Toronto (17 miles) with views of the Lake opening off to the lcf\- From here turn left to Awaba (20^) rnd then on to the road leading to Rathmines and Wangi Wangi turn-off (27). From Wangi remarkably fine scenic views are to be obtained in the run to Eraring (31) and Dora Creek (33^). 40 Tuggerah and Mun- morah Lakes are popu- lar with owners of small craft, for many delightful trips can be made on their calm waters. To Dungog and Chichester Dam Main inland beauty spot for tourists from headquarters at Newcastle is probably Chichester Dam, which provides the whole of the Newcastle district with water. Splendid and picturesque motoring roads for the 70 miles journey make the trip enjoyable. Around the shores of the dam a scheme of arboreal beautification makes an excellent setting for the 135 ft. dam. Varieties of trees planted include the poplar, golden cypress, bush box, jacaranda, silky oak, elm, hawthorn, chestnut, coral, eucalyptus, gum and others. An interesting historical point en route is the church at Bendalba, built by settlers over a century ago. The drive from the entrance gates at the dam to the caretaker's house is bordered by a fine English hawthorn hedge. On the northern side of the dam THE ROUTE. the almost impenetrable forest abounds with bird life^king parrots, mountain lories, black and white cockatoos, wild turkeys and many more. Weeping willows caress the green waters of the dam on the southern side. A zig-zag footway in the side of the hill takes the tourist from the road to the lower side of the great wall. Up- stream densely covered hills slope steeply to the water's edge making a truly un- forgettable scene. Leaving Newcastle ihe motorist fol- lows the New England Highway through Hexham (10 miles) to \Vest Maitland (20-2-), where a turn to the right is made to Woodville (26). Keep to the left at the junction and Paterson is reached at 32^ miles. Three miles from Paterson the road to the right is taken through Wallarobba, Wirragulla and over Table Mountain to Dungog (54^). Turn left at Dungog and a little further on continue north at the crossroads through to Bendolba, Brandon Grove. Dusodie to Wangat (68). The dam is less than two miles further on.

COAST While the North Coast has its rivers, the South Coast has sheltered bays not duplicated in any similar stretch along an Australian Coast. One of the handiest is Lake Illawarra which lies between Wollongong and Kiama and though not on the Princes Highway can be skirted from Port Kembla to Windang. Here are surf, prawns and a favourite fishing ground for sand-loving fish such as whiting and flathead, and fine scenery for only 10 miles awav lies Macquarie Pass. In the valley lies Robertson where a pleasure road runs to Belmore Falls, only 5j miles on, while a further 7J miles along leads to the fantastic Fitzroy Falls. From here you can run down the Kangaroo Valley and back to Berry and Kiama^among the most pleasurable day's trips of mountain and sea one could see anywhere in Australia. Ty}>ical South Coast scenery. JERVIS RAY Jervis Bay is reached 15 miles from Nowra and best seen from Piuskisson where there is river, beach and bay. This tourist town has everything to offer the wanderer, boats for hire and many attractions to ensure a perfect holiday for every taste, within 130 miles from Sydney. ST. GEORGE'S BASIN Sussex Inlet, 17 miles from Nowra, is 9 miles off the Princes Highway, a pretty estu- ary resort where visitors are refreshed by the deep blue waters, matched with the golden sand and the attractive boating trips into the Basin. , Fishing in the Channel is a favourite pastime here and one that well repays the tryer. LAKELAND: Lakes Coiijola, Diirras Between Nowra and Bateman's Bay is a section of little frequented lakes which are a paradise for tourists who seek different and little known parts. There is Conjola Lake and beyond Ulladulla, Burrill Inlet seven miles north of Bateman's Bay, and 176 miles from Sydney, lies Durras Lake with its five camping grounds, all complete holiday centres in themselves. BATEMAN'S BAY With its new bridge works and six camping parks between the Post Office and Bateshaven, Bateman's Bay is the centre of further round trips where the colourful Clyde Mountain scenery can be enjoyed if one leaves the caravan in the town and goes 40 miles west to Braidwood or 60 miles further on to Canberra. Views reminiscent of Canada's lakes can be seen coming down these; mountains to rivers. If you like wandering across the valleys and mountains of the Great Divide, there are different routes back to the coast through Captains Flat or the panoramic Araluen Valley which follows the Moruya River for 30 miles, which has corkscrew bends and the fjiord-like scenes of Scandinavia. Ulladulla, wJiere the Princes High- way skirts the sea, has all the amenities for an enjoyable holiday. 61 SOUTH COAST SCENIC SPOTS MORUYA HEADS Five miles off the Princes Highway it has delightful camping ground with cabin- cottages and kiosks adjoining the Pilot Station and surf beach which makes it a world of its own. Here the visitor sees a vista of turbulent waters to the east, and to the west the blue crags of the ranges where at night the town, 5 miles away, scintillates in the valley. I like the clean and fresh atmosphere of Moruya Heads for it is a place where the outdoor meets you and you are wedded to it— the real Australia. TUROSS LAKE Between Moruya and Bodalla the Tuross River flows into Tuross Lake, 14 miles from Moruya. Here is another tourist-made haven where there are three main camping grounds, boat sheds and conveniences. NAROOMA A fast flowing river and Tuany first-class hotels and guest houses provide everything to make a holidaji enjoyable at Narooma. NAROOMA is one of the best known resorts on the South Coast, 222 miles from Sydney where there are many Hotels and Guest Houses. The fast-flowing Wagonga River and game fishing off Montague Island appeal to the sportsman, while the town offers an easy life for those who want to be in the .swing of modern living. Distances from Narooma to — Moruya 29 miles Bateman's Bay 44 miles Braidtwood 80 miles Bermagui 21 miles Eden 87 miles Sydney 222 miles Bega 51 miles Cooma 123 miles 62 Bermagui, well-known to all big gatne fisher- men has an ideal setting of sea and river. BERMAGUI Blessed with a beautiful setting, Bermagui skirts the coast and blue river, and the sheltered wharf is famous as a weighing-in station and catchment for big game fishermen. Bermagui is off the Highway, but is one of those out-of-the-way places where you live in another era, where time does not count and tomorrow seldom comes. TATHRA 282 miles from Sydney, Tathra is 1 1 miles east of Bega at the Heads and is a seaside village that makes the tourist welcome. The camping ground adjoins the beach a quarter of a mile north from the town. Bega, another jjopular South Coast toivn, has many scenic attrac- tions and camping grounds. 63 Merimhula is a pleasant holiday resort neo/r Twofold Bay, where fishing and surfing can be enjoyed. MERIMBULA One of the fastest-growing towns it deserves your visit. It is midway between Bega and Eden and is the most modern of the towns be- yond Narooma, its river and oysters, sea wharf, accommodation, cafes all cater for the Monaro pastoralists who holiday there, and have built modern seaside homes. Visitors to the spacious caravan park on the hill beside the lagoon have said it is one of the most comfortable on the coast. It is a thriving town and one you'll hear a lot of in future, just for its beauty. This town is the last outpost where the Highway leaves the sea. Timber, fishing, dairying, give this town a distinctive holiday air. The old Whaling Station at Boyd Town is a few miles to the south and is now a tourist centre. From the South Coast many roads run inland to Bombala and Cooma. It is indeed a country that cannot be seen even in a few weeks of constant cruising. EDEN "W^^ Eden, where the highway leaves the sea, at Twofold Bay is a centre for 'many en- joyable trips. ^■^^.^ Highlights of Highways in the SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS A tourist checks his route on the Monaro Highwai/ near Yarran go- billy Caves.

Some of them are: — 1 . The caravan must be correctly designed, constructed, and aligned; a good type of undercarriage and coupling used. 2 . The position of wheels in relation to the size of the caravan. 3 . The type of vehicle used for towing. 4 . The speed at which you travel. 5. The condition of the roads on which you travel. 6. The type of driver you are. The novice would be well advised to try and keep these in mind before blaming his caravan for not behaving as expected,! for any combination of the above factors might mean good or bad towing. The writer has carried out exhaustive tests of many well-known makes of vans, professionally built, Australian and some overseas models, also home-built types, and has found from practical tests, over good and bad roads, some interesting points; but it is only possible to lay down general rules in this article. A rule that is much quoted as a guide, is that the "all-up weight" of a caravan- trailer should not exceed 1 cwt. per horsepower of the towing unit. That is to say a 10 h.p. car can successfully tow a 10 cwt. caravan. This rule, I think, should be clarified. After some investigation as to where this rule originated, it has been traced to a source in England. You will agree that conditions for towing a caravan in England and Australia are not similar. The point here worth mentioning is, that the "all-up" weight is not the weight of the caravan when you purchase it from a display park. In nearly every case, from 2 to 4 cwts. of 73 loading is added after the van is purchased. Water in tanks, radio, batteries, ice, food, clothes, bed linen, etc., can easily weigh this added amount. Nevertheless, the "all-up" weight of 1 cwt. per h.p. is satisfactory, provided other things are in order, viz., the van is correctly designed and constructed, and the car is in good mechanical condition. It should be a maximum weight for interstate tours, or the like. Taking into consideration the fact that car manufacturers have become very weight conscious, I am inclined towards the following rule of thumb: — The "all-'up" maximum weight of your caravan should not exceed 50 per cent. of the empty, unloaded, weight of the towing vehicle. We have found that (provided everything is in order, again) this is an ideal weight for long tours, and every half hundredweight added from there is noticeable. An easy method of estimating the "all-up" weight of a caravan, is to multiply the body length of the van by IJ for factory built, and 2 for home built and call the answer cwts. This is a general rule only, and is meant for a guide for the inexperienc(?d person who has no knowledge of the weight of component parts, accessories and loading. We have carefully checked individual parts, loading, etc., and find that this rule is a fair guide. Weight is important, but there are other fac'ors that can have a bearing on the! behaviour of your van. On good, flat, concrete or bitumen surfaces, any well constructed van should not give any towing problems at speeds ranging from 20-35 miles per hour. When "wavy" roads are encountered, especially if this condition continues for several miles, the average van can be irksome. This condition applies when the "waves" in the surface of the rrjad are approximately the length of the wheelbase of the car, or the distance of the car wheels to the van wheels. I have ac'ually seen passengers in the car get "sea sick" under these conditions. The only real answer, is of course, better roads, but a reduction in speed, with the application of air-vacuum brakes on the van, if same are fitted, will correct the surge immediately, as this stabilises the nose of the van. Incidentally, the writer has tested various types of braking systems on vans, and considers that air-vacuum brakes properly fitted to a caravan go with better towing, apart from the safety factor. The average length of vans in Australia has been from 14-18 feet. (Length measurements are calculated, outside body extremities, not including caravan draw bar), but with the advent of the smaller car, the tendency today is for the smaller van, from 10 to 13 feet. Our experience has been that where 2, 3 or 4 people require »»ie^" ^fWj^*- Amatcar-buiit carardu-H Sltuiv is held in Mclbuui ne and Si/dnci/ each September by Motor Manual. See details in Keith Winser's 170-page Caravan and Touring Year Book — with the complete guide to every park in Australia. Price 6/6. 74 Typical scen- ery in the beautiful Megalong Valley. a van for touring purposes, the 12 ft. van can be built to tow much better than the larger type, at speeds from 20 to 40 m.p.h., which is within the range that most motorists use when towing a caravan. More gear changing is the rule when towing, and the beginner is advised to "get in early". On a pull it is advisable to change down from top gear, when the speedo reading falls to 20 m.p.h. Petrol consumption is increased when towing, but a 25-30 h.p. car should not lose more than 2-4 miles per gallon. Smaller cars, in the 10-15 h.p. class, generally lose 3-10 m.p.g. This article would not be complete without mentioning reversing with a van attached to your car. To the novice, this is usually a nightmare, but a little practice soon gives the confidence required. One point to remember is, "gently does it". Don't turn the steering wheel too far, and don't try to reverse at high speeds. You may even have to "slip the clutch" for a beginning. The steering has to be turned in the opposite direction to an ordinary reverse (without the van). ■ There may be some readers who will raise controversial points from this article, but it should be borne in mind that this has been written for the "average" caravan and the "average" motorist. An owner should not judge a cross section of caravans by the one that he owns and tows. The writer has reviewed notes made at tests, of many types of vans, roads, speeds, types of cars suitable for towing (and some types not accepted as suitable) and has even gone to the pains of manufacturing a special caravan chassis containing several quick adjustments, gauges, etc., to find out what actually happens under extreme conditions with various types of van and set of conditions. Sizes of vans used varied from 8 to 20 fjeefl in length. 75 THE INCOMPARABLE JENNISON PATHFINDER ■i ?i if^l i" 'h K«?f X .^S^^- !-,<«>'V Australia's Finest Caravan for 25 Years Model 10 ft. 6 in. — 14 ft. 3 in. — 16 ft. — 18 ft. 1 in.

Rather than mar the enjoyment of the trip for your- self and passengers by trying to time your arrival into towns at meal times — often with disappointing results — it is better to provide for some roadside meals. It is far cheaper, at least. Some motorists don't care to be burdened with cooking equipment, while others just don't have the space for it. For these it is better to prepare two Hght meals for the day's journey and treat themselves to a big dinner in a hotel or restaurant at nightfall. BASIC REQUIREMENTS. Only a few articles are required for preparing simple roadside meals. The basic ones are: 2 large vacuum flasks 1 tin box with divided sections 1 opzn container for fruit, etc. 1 plastic bag for lettuce, etc. 1 roll of paper .towels Sharp knife, corkscrew, can opener Plastic cups, paper plates Knives, forks, spoons. One vacuum flask is for boiling water for making tea, coffee or cocoa from powdered or condensed materials. The other container is for milk. Soft drinks (not aerated) can be carried and kept cool in the same way. The tin box holds such staples as bread, jam, sugar, french dressing, salt, pepper, etc. If it has a completely removable top this can be used as a tray or a place on which to prepare food. The kind of provisions you buy requires forethought. Margarine is preferable to butter, french dressing to mayonnaise, as neither will spoil without refrigeration. Ulladulla on the Princes Higlnvay is the one place where the highway skirts the sea. 77 The only complete guide to ALL AUSTRALIAN CAMPING GROUNDS KEITH WINSER'S NEW 162-PAGE Caiavans & Touting Manual 6/6 Also tells how to hire or buy a Caravan Catalogue of all stock models from — MOTOR MANUAL 1-7 KNOX PLACE, MELBOURNE, C.l.

Rely on bakeries for sweets and wayside shops for seasonal fruit and special delicacies. Here are suggested menus for uncooked meals: BreaJcfast i cantaloupe or whole orange Boxed cereal with sliced banana, sugar and milk Rolls Tea, coffee or milk. Lunch Cheese on brown bread or rolls Potato chips Pineapple slices filled with creamed cheese on lettuce, Chocolate cup cakes Tea, coffee or milk. COOKING EQUIPMENT. However, if you want more variety without spending more money, some cooking equipment is essential. This would include a compact one or two- burner spirit stove, a well-insulated picnic icebox, several square pint or quart jars with screw tops and rubber seals, a mixing bowl, compact cooking utensils, a 1 -gallon (thermos) water jug, as well as the previously mentioned articles. With such equipment one can prepare hot meals of sufficient bulk and high nutritive value. For quick meals, canned foods are always good stand-bys -—stews, meats, creamed macaroni, vegetables, spaghetti, etc. Time-saving meals may consist of sandwiches, salads and refreshing drinks, such as the following: Sandwiches Baked beans (cold) with sliced onions Corned beef with sliced tomatoes or cheese Chopped hard-boiled egg and devilled liam Cucumber, cream cheese and lettuce *Hamburgers, cheeseburgers or hot dogs * Tomato, bacon and onion rolls *Steak, onion and tom,ato Egg, onion and chopped ham. Cold Cuts Corned beef, ham and beef or pork sausage Cheese combinations (ham and cheese) Peanut butter with sliced carrot or jelly Peanut b^itter and bacon. * Cooking facilities required Salads Apples, raisins and nuts (leave skin on apples) Fruit salad (canned or fresh); add bananas, etc. Banana and peanut butter (slice bananas lengthwise; spread butter; put together with lettuce; french dressing) Tomatoes filled with cream cheese or purchased potato salad Peaches, pears or pin?apple slices filled with cream cheese. WHERE TO EAT. Now the question arises as to where one stops to prepare these meals. The answer— almost anywhere. There are parks and picnic groves near small towns. One can always pull off the road in a secluded place to prepare a meal. The surface of a station wagon tailgate or a folding card table may be used for preparing meals. Some spirit stoves have legs so that they may be raised to a suitable working height. As you can see, you don't have to eat at hotels or restaurants in order to eat well whilst travelling. And you may aid digestion with the thought that your meals are costing you less in out-of-pocket expenses. 79 YOUR CAMERA GIVES BEST RECORD OF TOUR THHE time spent in actual travelling is of relatively short duration unfortunately for most people. The thrill of travelling, however, can be stretched out, relived and shared with others if you take a camera along to document your trip. Neither special photographic skill nor technical perfection is absolutely necessary if your pictures serve their primary purpose of recalling the scenes and incidents of your journey. The most inexpensive equipment will suffice. An uncomplicated camera, sky filter, pocket tripod, an exposure meter (if you use one), a flash gun (should you want it), and a generous supply of panchromatic film are ample for an album record of your trip. It is worth noting, however, that large cameras and bulky equipment re- quire precious storage space and much care, and generally are not as readily available for picture-taking opportunities as are more modest outfits. Motoring demands that the photographer protect his outfit from heat, dust, moisture and vibration. Here are a few suggestions: 1 . Do not carry film or camera in the glove compartment of th3 car or in any other superheated place. Obtain a dust-proof bag, perhaps with a zipper opening for the camera, and store in some cool, yet accessible place. 2. Standard film can be purchased practically anywhere, so it is inadvisable to buy a large supply before leaving on an extended trip. This may not be true of colour or cut film. Examine the date on the film box when you buy your film in order to ensure that you are getting fresh film. Tropical packaging is preferable for hot summer trips. A camera . . . sun ylisleniny on the Hawkesbury. Click! And you have a lasting reminder of your visit to a tvorld- famous beauty spot — Brooklyn Railway Bridge over the Hawkesbury. 80 Your picture may lack nmch in the way ot photographic art, but it re- Is calls another highlight o f your trip. In this case it is Armidale, a leading town set in rugged mountainous district. 3. Dust and vibration readily damage delicate mechanisms. A ^ in. thick- ness of sponge rubber placed on the bottom of the camera bag will absorb shocks. The bag itself should be packed tightly in order to safeguard against possible bumping damage to the articles. 4 . Humidity, especially when combined with the salty atmosphere of the seaside, affects film, lens and leather. Thoroughly air and dry equip- ment exposed to such conditions. Wax will protect the bellows and finish. 5. Before starting on a trip, a camera should be checked to ensure that it is in first-class condition. A camera which has been used extensively may leak and should be tested by loading it and exposing the exterior to intense sunlight from all directions without opening the shutter. If the processed film shows dark streaks or blotches, it is evident that light enters the camera and repairs are necessary. One of the main faults found in amateur travel pictures is a tendency toward over-exposure. Where black and white film is concerned, suitable development can correct this. However, in the case of colour film, if any error is tolerable, it should be on the under-exposure side. Daylight colour film is balanced for average sunlight. Therefore, exposures made on a hazy, overcast day or at high altitudes may yield transparencies of a bluish cast if compensating filters are not used. Hare are some general tips for better travel pictures: 1 . Use a sky filter over the bns to bring out clouds in a blue sky and cut through the moderate haze of distant landscapes. This haze is usually present and is not always apparent to the naked eye. 2. Avoid brilliant overhead — noon light^ — when taking portraits unless a fill-in flash is used. Morning or afternoon light, when the sun is at a lower angle, will illuminate the subject's face much better. When taking pictures of people, have them looking elsewhere than directly into the camera's lens. 3. Hold the camera level when photographing architectural subjects. If it is tilted upward, vertical lines converge and buildings will appear to lean backwards. Move back as far as needed to include the whole subject. 4. Use a fast shutter speed when shooting subjects in motion or stand farther away if your camera has insufficient shutter speed. Your camera will require more speed if you wish to photograph an object moving at a 45-degree angle to the lens than one approaching it directly, and even more when the movement is at a right angle. 5. As for processing your film, no problem should exist in this respect since even a small country chemist will be able to have your films developed cheaply and efficiently. On a short trip under average conditions your film will keep until you return home. 6. Make sure of a foreground interest in every picture— a camera cannot portray distance. TROUBLE on the ROAD nPHE last thing in the world the motorist wants to do is to become -*■ an amateur mechanic or to dip his hands into the internal workings of his car. All holiday-making motorists have two fervent wishes- one for good weather and the other for smooth driving all the way. Unfortunately, motors are as unpredictable as the weather. Marvellous as the modern car is for trouble-free performance over long periods without more than casual attention, it can and will bog down on the most inconvenient occasions and in the remotest places. Then there is nothing to do but to heave a sigh and go to work. No long trip should be undertaken without giving the car an initial overhauling. This provides some insurance against breakdowns, but no measures can be taken for absolute insurance that trouble will not occur. So the motorist might as well be prepared for some trouble. A decent set of tools (wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, etc.), trouble lights, and flares, extra parts which should include fan belt, fuses, bulbs, etc., and odds and ends (wire, tape, bolts, etc.) are far superior to a coin and hair pin for making repairs. Too little attention is paid to the effects of vibration, one of the eventual causes of numerous mishaps. Vibration loosens up parts and causes wear but few garage hands make a point of looking for such things. The first days of a trip, particularly after encountering stretches of bad roads, are likely to be troublesome ones. Nuts work loose or rivets pull out. Breaks occur in flexible couplings. A brief inspection after a hard day's run is the best way of locating loose or broken parts. Certain noises reveal to the experienced driver that trouble is imminent. Dull or sharp metallic sounds that persist or increase in volume and frequency should be given immediate attention. If you do not know the origin of the noise, the most sensible thing is to reduce your speed to a minimum and proceed to the nearest garage. However, it is even better to check some of the points mentioned here because there are instances where running the car further may result in serious damage. It is also better to pay a tow bill than to be stranded for days in out-of-way places awaiting major repairs and replacements. There are some noises you should be able to interpret and even recognise. When you hear a heavy, intermittent thud whilst travelling at a fair speed this may mean the last-minute warning before you have a blow-out. You will have sufficient time to organise your reflexes in order to cope with the approaching difficulties which will occur when you endeavour to control your car after the blow-out. A deep-throated roar points to a rusted muffler, but more serious is a low, rasping whistle indicating a break in the exhaust pipe. There is also the muffled "beep" of a defective manifold gasket. As these defects may release concentrations of toxic carbon-monoxide gas within the body of the car you should ensure that repairs are immediate. Noises developing in the rear axle, clutch or engine are readily localised. The hard, sharp rap of engine detonation, which can be so destructive to engine parts, should not be overlooked. Retarding the spark timing may be the answer. An engine needs four things: fuel at the carburetter, spark at the spark plugs, and oil and water to prevent wear and overheating. How an engine "dies" often points to the cause of trouble. Glance at the temperature gauge; if the reading is normal, the water supply is sufficient and the oil is all right too, otherwise, if there were lack of oil there would be overheating. How- 82 ever, check the oil and the petrol supply. Then, if the engine will not start, look for trouble causes in the ignition system; if it starts, sputters and runs irregularly, suspect the fuel system. IGNITION. 1 . Try the starter. If it works the battery and cable are not at fault. If not, check the ignition and make sure the battery is not weak or the cable defective. A piece of fencing wire can be used as a temporary repair for a broken cable. 2. If the engine will not start remove the distributor cap and inspect it for cracks, then switch on the ignition and turn over the engine until the distributor points close. Separate the points quickly with the fingers. This should produce a spark. If it does, the ignition system is functioning up to the distributor. 3. If there is no spark, remove one of the .spark plug wires and hold it about 1/8 in. from a cylinder head bolt. If a spark jumps from the end of the wire, the entire ignition system is in order. 4 . If there is a spark at the distributor breaker points, but none at the plugs, the rotor may be damaged or the spring contact broken or worn. It may be possible to make an emergency repair by binding a piece of tin or other conductive metal to the rotor to carry the current from the centre contact through the motor. 5. Check all wiring at the distributor, and also investigate the possibility of a loose ground connection at the condenser. 6. As a final check, remove the high tension wire from the centre contact of the distributor cap. Hold the free end about 1/4 in. from a cylinder head bolt and crank the engine. A fat spark should be produced. If not, the coil may be defective. 7. To test the coil, remove the "hot" primary wire and rub the end against .some unpainted metal of the car. There should be sparking. If there is, and if the connections to the distributor are tight and in good condition, the coil may be dead. This will then have to be replaced. 8. If there is no sparking at the coil, the trouble lies between the coil and the battery. Trace the circuit, testing all connections and do not overlook the possibility of a defective ignition switch. FUEL SYSTEM. 1 . Check the tank for petrol supply. 2 . If there is petrol and the engine fails to respond, disconnect the fuel line at the carburetter or at the discharge side of the fuel pump; then crank the engine. Petrol should flow from the pnmp. If not, the trouble may be in the fuel pump itself or in the flexible connections between the main fuel line and the pump. 3. Inspect the filter screen in the line. This may be located either at the carburetter or the pump. If the screen is clogged, clean and reconnect it. 4. Remove the air cleaner from the carburetter and pour a small stream of petrol from a bottle into the intake whilst cranking the engine with the engine switch on. Race the engine for a few minutes. This will often start a baulky fuel pump, but do not stop the engine until reaching a service station. 5. If this method fails to start the engine, check the flexible connections between the pump and the main petrol line for leaks. These may be repaired by binding with tape. 6. If this is not the remedy, disconnect the fuel line at the pump, remove the fuel-tank cap and blow into the tank with the checks pressed tightly to the opening. 7. If the fuel line itself is clogged, try using a tyre pump to free the obstruction. 83 CARRY A . . . FIRST-AID KIT A first-aid kit and at least an elementary knowledge of first-aid arc essentials on any motoring tour, whether it be a half-day trip or a month's meandering through country new to the driver. At the time of an accident the motorist is usually handicapped by not knowing where the nearest doctor is located. Distance and the consequent time factor in delaying treatment, however slight the wound can have serious results. For the victim's peace of mind as well as antisepsis it is better to be able to give or receive treatment on the spot. A first-aid kit of essentials is not costly and takes up only a small space in the glove box. One recommended is :Bandaids; adhesive tape, 1 inch; bandage roll; gauze; mercurochrome or iodine (vial or ampules); small scissors; small side-cutting pliers for extracting fish hooks, snake-bite suction kit; salt tablets, 15 grain; aromatic spirits of ammonia, J ounce. POINTS TO REMEMBER. DON'T neglect open wounds. DON'T fail to treat punctured wounds. Tetanus may develop. DON'T neglect animal or fish bites. DON'T fail to obtain immediate medical treatment for gunpowder burns. DON'T neglect insect bites. They are dangerous. Treat with antiseptics. DON'T eat when you are hot or very tired. Rest and cool off. DON'T fill up on ice water. Tepid water is best when one is hot and tired. DON'T go swimming while very hot and tired. Rest a while. DON'T swim until two hours after a heavy meal. TREATMENT. Cuts — Clean thoroughly; sterilize with any good antiseptic; apply bandaid. If serious, wrap securely with dressing or clean handkerchief; get to a doctor as soon as possible. Never put adhesive plaster directly over a wound; it will seal dirt into it. Blisters^ — if unopened, drain by puncturing through adjacent solid skin with sterilised needle. If broken, open thoroughly, remove top, paint with mercurochrome, apply dressing. Avoid blisters by using gloves, proper shoes (soap the socks) and apply adhesive moleskin to chafing areas. Sprains^Alternate hot and cold applications; rest. Consult a doctor. Eye Strain^ — In bright, glaring light use well fitted goggles or sun glasses of best quality. A little soot smeared under the eyes and on cheek bones will give relief. Fractures^ — Should never be dealt with by amateurs. Immobilise the ex- tremity with splints and wrapping; be careful; see doctor at first town. Sunstroke — Cause: injury of heat control by the sun. Marked by a full bounding pulse; flushed face, delirium, coma, collapse. Rest patient; cooling applications to face, temples and armpits. Heat Exhaustion^Cause: loss of body salt. Marked by cold, clammy pale face, collapse, thready pulse. Give J teaspoonful table salt with a little sugar or honey in a glass of water. Repeat in half-hour if needed. Coffee and tea are good stimulants. Sunburn — Apply a cooling oil, cream or grease, tannic acid, strong black tea solution, oak bark solution, to relieve fire and pain. Apply as wet cloth dres.^ing and keep thoroughly wet. 84 BE PREPARED FOR ACCIDENTS Food poisoning — Induce vomiting by giving milk, raw eggs, starch. Insect Stings (Wasps, Bees, Hornets) —Wash with diluted ammonia water or aromatic spirits of ammonia. Give light stimulants. Get to a doctor as soom as possible in serious cases. Spider, Tarantula and Scorpion Bites — Poison effects from these are much like that of snake bite and treatment is similar. Such insects are not as dangerous to healthy persons as is imagined. Infection can follow any type of bite and is more dangerous than the bite itself. Animal Bites — Wash injury thoroughly with alcohol. Use a good dis- infectant and apply a dressing. Get to a doctor as soon as possible and at least within 12 hours. Snake Bites — ^A cupping outfit for snake bite should be carried in all snake country. It includes torniquet, antiseptic, sharp blade and sucking device. Treatment: Immediately apply torniquet between bite and heart. Sterilise bitten area. Cut deeply with sterilised blade to induce free bleeding. Apply suction cup to draw poison-filled blood. Release tourniquet slightly every ten minutes and replace. Give mild stimulant if needed, but not much. Give no alcohol! This increases heart action and spreads venom through the body more rapidly. Rush patient to doctor. Drinking Water — Better be safe than sorry. Boil suspected water a full 15 minutes. Chlorinating tablets may be purchased; or, mix 3 tablespoon- fuls of Chloride of Lime in 1 quart of water. Add 1 teaspoonful to each 2 gallons of drinking water. Let stand for 15 minutes before using. Strangely, stagnant water is more apt to be safe than running streams, however crystalline.

GOOD DRIVING SAVES YOUR PETROL 'T'HERE is a way of driving that will lower your petrol consumption and save you sufficient money to keep the whole family in out-of-pocket expenses during a long motor trip. Add to these savings the bonus of reduced tyre wear and general car wear and you will soon notice a sharp reduction in your car's operational costs. You save petrol by avoiding every form of unnecessary acceleration. Quick getaways in traffic may do something for your ego, but such a course will burn up petrol. Impatiently pumping the accelerator pedal whilst await- ing a light change, or when starting the engin3 will result in petrol wastage. Driving by fits and starts— that is, tearing down the highway for a few miles and then loafing along — consumes more petrol and doesn't help you to get to your destination any quicker than steady driving. Low gear operation, for whatever reason, is wasteful. The average car can be started in low gear and then almost immediately changed into .second and then at about 20 to 25 m.p.h. into high gear. On level ground or downhill grades, it is permissible to start in second, or from low directly into high gear at about 15 m.p.h. DON'T DRIVE WITH CHOKE OUT. Depress the clutch pedal when you start the motor, especially in winter when the transmission lubricant is stiffer. This will also prove to be a pre- cautionary measure against accidents if the car should happen to be in gear. Driving with choke out is an unpardonable waste of petrol. The choke should be shut down as soon as the engine fires regularly. Prolonged use of the starter will drain the battery and pumps petrol into the engine without using it. Sudden slops are wastefi.l in those instances when you dash up to a road crossing and then slam on the brakes. It is much better to let the momentum of the car cprry you to a planned stopping point and then apply your brakes carefully — this method will also save wear and tear on your tyres. This does not apply to switching off the engine and coasting out of gear. In the first place, it's dangerous and also will save very little petrol. Driving on bad roads increases petrol consumption. A round- about trip on a good highway is likely to save more petrol than taking a short cut over rough, Redex-likc roadways. Strong head- winds require more power and thus more petrol, but there is little one c£n do about such a situation. USE CORRECT LUBRICANT.
