Interestingly enough - Myles Dunphy once told me that a well known group of
bushwalkers used to regularly walk in the nude on RNP trips (he went on one of
their walks apparantky - and at first thought it was a bit unusual - but said
that at the end of the walk it seemed a natural and beautiful thing. I think it
was an all male party) - But this was probably in the thirties (and well before
canberra Bushwalking Club started)

It is a great way to hike/bushwalk. It gives you a real "nature pure" feeling.
True, at first it feels strange, but after a while it is totally natural
(literally...). I've done a lot of it, in Western Australia, South Australia and
overseas, alone and with others. Give it a try.

You'd want to be on a wide track. Do you wear gaiters? If so, where?

Why ? I think you folks are totally focussed on the track conditions in the Dividing
Range or on the East Coast. There is more open country to the west of it, just in case
you have not noted...

Why ? I normally wear lots of sunscreen and Volleyball shoes and sometimes not even
them (for instance in some gorges of the Hamersley Ranges). I think you folks are

Jorg has a valid point there, I think we all tend to be a bit parochial
in this newsgroup at times when talking about locations. For instance
Springy referred Bell Ck. Mt. Wilson, and Geoff found an interesting
symbol on the Ramshead Range. But where are these places? I've never
heard of them so consequently I don't have any idea which state we are
even talking about. I do it myself - my favourite place is the Mawson
Plateau but I regularly forget to mention that it's in South Australia.
An East Coast bias in this NG is understandable, that's where the bulk
of the population lives. I suspect Springy and Geoff live in NSW so I'd
guess that's where Bell Ck and the Ramshead Range are, but Robert
Burgoyne wrote about Mt Warning and I haven't a clue where that is. I
know that with a bit of effort I could find out where these places are,
but a better description would be nice.

I read that and thought "That sounds nice, I bet its nice up
there at the moment". Then I went to the bureau of meteorology
web site, the weather forecast for Adelaide for the rest of this
week read "Max 35 Hot and humid. Afternoon cloud". The Ramshead
range sounded even better after reading that and so did floating
down Bell Ck. on a lilo.

Good point - I remember a thread a few months ago which arose because a
Victorian requested info about easy walking near Warburton and got a lot of
answers regarding (or pretending to) Warburton WA (I confess to being
involved).
Obviously, names like Five Mile Creek should be exanded, but so to should
unique(???) names like Ettrema, Tuross, Ossa so others know "where" as well
as "which".
Maybe would also help if we indicated where we are, for similar reasons..

(who lives in Canberra and is also guilty...)
[ BTW - I'm glad to hear about Mawson Plateau - I'd always assumed you were
an intrepid Antarctic walker :-) ]

You'll find Mt Warning in the Gold Coast hinterland, unless there's
another one in Australia...
