I really enjoyed the activities & became a regular on their day walks. I then joined the club & began going on weekend walks that required overnight camping. As I became more fit longer trips were made untill it was easy to cover 100 mile walks over a weekend from Friday night to Sunday night.
I also met some members of the Kameruka Club who were mainly school teashers (both men & women) & they tended to do more difficult & long walks which I enjoyed. I eventually became Walks Secretary which entailed planning the walking Calander. Over the Christmas Holidays each year a number of members, useually 4 to 6 would plan a 2 or 3 week walk. One of those trips I participated on were from the Chalet at Mt Kosiosko up over the Rams Heads down to Blue Lake on to the Geehi River & then up Hannell's Spur ( the single longest & highest ridge in Australia) which took us to the saddle between Kosiosko & Mt Townsend from where we headed to Guthiga & then travelled home by vehicle. Another year we walked from Omeo to Mansfield via the Bull Plain Spur & the Crosscut Saw in the Victorian High Country.
