covered with scrubs and ferns. A closer 
examination of this wonder of Nature 
reveals many bidden ixiasages and caves. 
Some so rectangular im shape that it 
would appear as if they were the work 
of man. When standing at the bottom 
of this chasm, and noting the various 
channel* and gulches, one recalls to mind 
the passage in "For the Term of His 
Natural Life,” wherein Marcus Clarko 
describes this wonder. Further south is 
Waterfall Hay, down the rocky cliffs of 
which a mountain torrent descends with 
a rush to the sea. Towering above is a 
summit known a.s “The Pinnacle.” front 
which a delightful panorama is unfolded 
to the view. With such scenic gems as 
the foregoing in close proximity members 
were inclined to set forth and explore, 
hut there remained a large amount of 
work to he done, and this, of course, was 
given pride of place. By the afternoon 
the advance guard luul their work com¬ 
plete, and everything in readiness for the 
reception of the main party. 
The majority of the campers left Ho¬ 
lm t at (5.30 p.m. on Thursday night b.v 
the s.s. Cartela, and had a smooth trip 
down the river and through the various 
bays. The Neck was reached about 11 
o'clock, and portion of the advance party 
welcomed them at the jetty, while others 
stayed in camp to prepare supper. A 
walk round the crescent-shaped shore 
soon brought the party to I’emlemiis, the 
property of M r. denies, who had kindly 
granted the club permission to camp oil 
his property. Once supper was disposed 
of the members were shown theii new 
homes, and the camp retired to rest. 
On Friday excursions were made to 
places of interest in the locality, while 
one party went .searching for rare mosses 
in toe sylvan glades of the gully behind 
the camp. Unfortunately, a heavy shower 
of rain fell late im the afternoon, which 
caused some of the explorers to airrive 
hack in camp in rather peculiar fashions. 
During tile afternoon Mr. W. L. May and 
party arrived by motor-car, which served 
to bring the camp up to its full strength. 
On Saturday a party of the more ener¬ 
getic members set out to climb “The 
Pinnacle,” and achieved their object 
after a good climb. Another party fol¬ 
lowed the course of the mill tramline far 
into the bush in the search of botanical 
specimens. Other parties made trips to 
divers places, some in search of speci¬ 
mens, others just for the enjoyment of 
the outing. 
On Sunday a large party commandeered 
the district s supply of conveyances, and 
made an excursion to Port Arthur. The 
wood follows along the shore of the in¬ 
land bay for about six miles until 
Tamnma is reached. It then turns in¬ 
land, following the route of the old con¬ 
vict “railway” to Long Bay, and then-ce 
to Port Arthur. From Ta.rnnnn to Port 
Arthur is about seven miles. Three miles 
south of Port Arthur is Safety Cove, 
where the club camped in 1913, and near¬ 
by is situated the “Ifc markable Cave.” 
This natural wonder surpasses some of 
more advertised sights of the district, 
and it seems peculiar that not more is 
heard of it. The party had lunch in the 
cave, and after visiting Mr. and Mrs. 
Tanner at the old Government Farm, 
they returned via Port Arthur to the 
camp. Portion of the party did not jour¬ 
ney as far as Port Arthur, but spent: 
their time in exploring the gullies near 
Oakwood. The botanists got their re¬ 
ward. (in returning to camp it was 
learned that the “energetic party” had, 
with flic aid of many fathoms of rope, 
succeeding in exploring Tasman’s Arch 
and several of tire lesser known caves. 
They had also spent a considerable time 
in the Devil’s Kitchen, but had not the 
time or means to explore it thoroughly. 
On Monday several excursions were 
organised. One party went northward, 
noticing the Natural Pavement and other 
places of interest. Others pursued their 
hobbies in various directions. The camp 
artist was noted utilising the last day in 
securing, on canvas, his impression of 
tiie shore. Nearby a professor of biology 
could be seen endeavouring to induce 
minute sheets to forsake the mighty deep 
and take up their abode in small glass 
jars. And so each member pursued his 
calling, the outcome of which we hope 
will be another link in the chain of 
knowledge concerning Tasmania's natural 
history. 
The camp-fire socials held during the 
evenings in camp were quite u feature of 
the outing. We were fortunate in having 
an able conductor in Mr. F. Heyward, 
who spared no pains in organising “the 
choir.” The epics composed by the camp 
met will doubtless be long remembered 
jy those wlro look part in tin's camp, and 
they may be heard by future campers as 
“the choir” are already drawing up a 
scheme for their use again at the next 
camp. Another factor which materially 
helped the musical programme was Mr. 
F. Cane's ziiuophone. His kindness, in 
bringing it to camp was much appreciat¬ 
ed, 
Tuesday morning arrived only too soon, 
and with it a change in the weather. 
Except for some rain on Friday after¬ 
noon we had had good, weather, but our 
last morning was spoilt, by rain. Tins 
made bmtking up camp a little unplea¬ 
sant, but many willing workers soon liad 
the majority of the taints down and the 
camp impedimenta packed on the carts 
for transmission to the jetty. One large
