Pain on Pinnibar
Local bloke, adventurer and bike rider, Geoff King has been at it again and has recently returned back from the Victorian High Country. Geoff shares with us a tale of adventure with his friends on bikes and busted bums on rocks but a great me for all. Here is a taste of the High Country that is “Pain on Pinnibar”. We hope you enjoy his tale! Rob was a acking the gnarly western climb up Mt Pinnibar in the Victorian High Country just in front of me. The slope was quite steep and strewn with jagged brick‐sized rocks. Funny, I couldn’t remember this approach being quite so challenging, but we are on bikes fully laden with camping gear, food and, most importantly, wine. Rob is par cularly fond of his creature comforts and his Tenere is especially loaded, with large aluminium panniers packed to the brim and a massive dry bag strapped on to the rack. One moment Rob is seemingly making good progress but the next he has decided to have an impromptu lie down, underneath his behemoth Tenere. It looks none too comfortable. I leave my DR parked just behind the carnage and scramble up to rescue Rob. His le ankle is pinned underneath the hard edge of the pannier – ouch! He’s not very happy about it so I set to li ing the Tenere off him. A double hernia later and Rob is free but in considerable pain. The ever‐sympathe c Alex offered his support to the stricken Rob via the well‐known “L” symbol, while I tried to console him in his pain. Cameraman Waz had the shu er clicking freely, capturing the moment for posterity. Page 2
Pain in Pinnibar continues………………….
Our ride began in late Autumn with the boys keen to do a li le adventure touring. Waz and I met at my home in Murringo and headed to Jugiong and then Tumut via Adjungbilly. This included a nice sec on along a sta on track through numerous gates; a good alterna ve to the boring tar road. Rob and Alex were fuelling up when we arrived, so we pulled into the local bakery to scoff down a pie or two for lunch. We rode south to Corryong via Adelong and Tumbarumba along some nice back roads and then the Elliot Way. A highlight was the Southern Cloud memorial lookout, which features panoramic views of the western side of the Snowies, including glimpses of Mts Kosciusko and Townshend in the distance. It was a beau ful fine autumn day and great to be on the road with some good mates. Corryong arrived a er we travelled through the lush green upper Murray valley. Corryong is a truly beau ful town, especially when in autumnal colour. A quick refuel and some necessary procurement for that evening (namely plonk) and we were off to find our camp for the night. Waz, who had receded the area some me before, knew an absolute cracker of a camp on the banks of the upper Murray. We ascended a windy dirt road through na ve forest, un l turning off and heading for the river via an access track. The camp was all that Waz promised and we set up our tents before collec ng firewood for the night. There was some great camaraderie around the campfire as the sun set and the banter rose. The next morning dawned as clear as the previous one; another superb day promised. We followed the nicely groomed damp trail through more na ve forest. It was chilly, with frost persis ng in the shadows, but crystal clear with pris ne views of the high country. We eventually emerged on the Benambra Road and soon turned off on to the Mt Pinnibar Track. This was pre y good going ini ally un l we arrived at what we came to know as “Rob’s Folly”. A er our li le diversion we reached the top of Pinnibar. While Rob may have disagreed, the view made the effort worthwhile. Kosciusko and the main range of the Snowies lay to the north, not a great deal higher than where we now stood at 1727 m eleva on. Davies Plain and the Victorian High Country extended as far as the eye could see to the east, west and south. The clear condi ons meant that visibility was op mal; the view could only be described as amazing. Against this backdrop, Rob eased off his le boot. Bruising and swelling were fast engulfing his ankle. We dressed this in an elas c bandage and, with much grimacing, Rob replaced his boot. We were now faced with a dilemma; we had three op ons off the Mountain: back the way we came; a descent to the north to emerge at Tom Groggin, not far from the head of the Murray; or south following the ridge along Shady Creek Track. In hindsight, retracing our steps was probably the most sensible op on. The Tom Groggin Track is steep and some 4wders who we met on the way up said “you boys will enjoy that track”. So, it was bound to be challenging. The Shady Creek Track seemed to offer the least steep op on, so we decided on this route. Rob didn’t look too keen but reluctantly headed off behind Waz who led the way on his Trump. Page 3
Pain in the Pinnibar continues………...
The trail started off featuring black slippery mud which was treacherous indeed. I had good knobby tyres fi ed and found the going challenging enough, never mind the others with their less aggressive tyres and Rob with his dud ankle. At least it wasn’t steep; however, that was soon to change. We then had to traverse a number of steep slippery clay climbs and descents, with the odd creek crossing thrown in for good measure. Rob found the going tough. Hell, we all found the going tough. There was much man‐handling of bikes up sno y climbs and walking up and down hills to assist colleagues. The Tenere, with its weighty load and rela vely high gearing, not to men on a disabled rider, struggled in par cular. Alex’s DR had developed a carbura on problem a er being up‐ended at one point and was coughing and far ng badly. At least my DR plugged away reliably and managed to chug up and down the hills without too much drama. The amazing Waz on his Tiger XC took on the terrain with great finesse, but even he had the odd issue. Eventually, we emerged on a logging track that headed to the lower al tudes. We followed this to another superb campsite, this me at a hut beside the Wheeler Creek. A er se ng up camp and cooking some dinner, Rob broke out his favoured pain killer: port in a rather ba ered cardboard cask. This did not adversely affect its taste or seda ve quali es and we all consumed our fair por on, before turning in for the night. The next morning saw Rob deciding to head for home, despite being told to man up and stop whinging. A er all, it was just a bruised ankle, right? Wrong, as an x‐ray the following day revealed that he had sustained two fractures in his bia. No wonder he was complaining! Alex opted to escort Rob home as they live quite close to each other, so we made our way back to Corryong for a superb breakfast before the two par es went their separate ways. Waz and I had been eyeing off a trail that headed from near Khancoban and went north all the way to Talbingo, skir ng the western side of the Main Range of the Snowies. It was too good to resist. We le Rob and Alex on the Elliot Way and took the Greg Greg Trail that would intersect with the northbound trail.We reached the intersec on and headed north. The trail wound its way up and down mountains, with jaw‐dropping views of the Main Range to our right. It existed to service a major power transmission line and wasn’t in bad condi on. With daylight running out, we made camp in a clearing under the power lines. It promised to be a very cold evening, so we collected a good supply of fire wood to keep the chill at bay. The temperature dropped steadily, with my water bo le freezing solid by about 8 pm. It wasn’t the most comfortable evening, with the freezing temperatures, wild dog packs howling nearby and a mob of brumbies clumping around our camp at intervals throughout the night. Page 4
Pain in the Pinnibar continues………...
A massive frost greeted us the following morning but we managed to thaw out in front of the fire. A er breaky the bikes fired up and we were off towards Talbingo. We emerged on the Elliot Way for a kay or so before picking up the northerly trail again. We were soon over the upper reaches of the Talbingo Reservoir and took a detour to check it out. This ended up being a very steep trail which meant our hearts were in our mouths o en, but we made it back on to the main track without mishap. Another side track to visit Buddong Falls was more rewarding. These falls are simply stunning, with the upper falls being easily accessible while the lower falls plunged around 60 metres towards Talbingo. The descent down to Talbingo was straigh orward and we celebrated our arrival with a bacon and egg roll. From here we took a nice back road to Batlow, which is another picturesque town in the autumn. From there it was yet more windy backroads to Gundagai via Adelong, then home via Harden. All in all, it was a top ride, despite Rob’s mishap. He swears that next me he will be driving his 4wd, promising to carry our supplies including cold beer. However, the rest of us are confident that, when the leg has healed, he’ll be back on his Tenere and ready for more two‐wheeled challenges. Just remember Rob, drop the gearing a li le and leave some of the luxuries at home. We’ll see you on the trail! Murringo’s June Rainfall………………..Love the Rain!

SLOW DOWN
Every wondered what your purpose in life is? What is it you are meant to do with this one life? Mark Twain said it beau fully in the quote here, but do we all find that second day? Some mes, when it feels like there is a hole in your heart and an emp ness in your life, it’s because you aren’t really pursuing what it is that you are meant to do. How to find it … now that’s the real challenge isn’t it? Here are a ten steps to help you. 1. No ce dreams and signs ‐ The subconscious has ways of le ng you know if you’re heading in the right direc on. Pay a en on to the things that happen in your life, the people you meet, the things you no ce, the places you are drawn to. Upon waking, ac vely connect to your dreams – keep a pad by the bed to write things down, and let their symbolism work on you. 2. Priori ze expressing yourself in whatever way you find enjoyable ‐ If you want to be fully yourself and find your path in life, crea vity is not a luxury ‐ you must carve me for it. 3. Think about what you used to love ‐ Our callings are very o en things that we loved to be or do when we were very young – before we were asked to ‘fit in’. How did you play as a child? What did you love to do? What were you curious about? How did you think? 4. No ce what feels good ‐ Callings feel good. When we are doing what we are supposed to be doing, we are connected, joyful, expressive, loving and purposeful. No ce mes in your daily life that you feel like this – What are you doing? Who are you with? What are you allowing? 5. Turn down the distrac ons ‐ Distrac ons, like TV, shopping and drinking, serve only to keep you stuck. Turn them down in your life and allow possibility in. This will be hard at first ‐ it’s easy to use these things to stop you facing things you don’t want to, or having to answer difficult ques ons ‐ but consciously op ng for s llness over diversions, or emp ness over a life chock full of ‘busy’ is choosing to open a dialogue with yourself and your path. 6. Pay a en on to what keeps coming back ‐ The things that are always true for you or won’t go away are really important in discovering your calling. Are you always making up amazing stories to entertain the children in your life? Every me you feel at a loss do you find yourself in the kitchen, crea ng? Keep thinking about that niggle of an idea about moving to the Mediterranean? These recurrent things are giving you clues as to what will really sa sfy you, pay a en on to them. 7. If you’ve got a hunch, give it a go, try it on for size ‐ Finding our true path in life isn’t passive. It won’t appear in a puff of smoke. It’s only through trying out an ac vity that you’ll know whether it’s for you. 8. Find a way to connect with something outside yourself daily ‐ Get out in nature. Prac se a simple medita on. Find a community of like‐minds and share. Take up yoga. 9. Shake up your rou ne ‐ Ge ng out of your rou ne, changing your environment, and carving some me for yourself can work wonders. Shi s in perspec ve, connec ons and realisa ons are more easily explored and nurtured when you give yourself the space physically and emo onally. 10. Be pa ent ‐ Don’t expect your calling to delivered via express mail. Discovering and honing your path in life will be a con nual part of your journey. Be compassionate to yourself, knowing that where you are right now is the best place. Treat yourself, your prac ces, and the world with pa ence. Page 11

Cowra Eisteddfod Congratula ons to the following Murringo kids, who competed at the Cowra Eisteddfod last month, under the tutelage of Sue Duff at the Young Regional School of Music .

Abbie Grant ‐ Prepared Mime, Poetry Reading (Silver Medal), Prepared Reading (Bronze Medal). Tennyson Neville ‐ Prepared Mime, Impromptu Mime (Gold Medal), Prepared Reading and Poetry Reading. New Playground Equipment for the School Grounds Murringo School Students are very excited to have new playground equipment installed at their school. The purchase of the new playground equipment was only made possible thanks to a grant from the Premiers Spor ng Challenge through the department and a kind dona on from the Murringo P&C Assoc. But then we also had to get it here from Melbourne and that’s when the generous offer from the Dowling family came into the equa on. Sonya and Angus Dowling kindly transported the equipment all the way from Melbourne for us and delivered it right on our doorstep. So “Thank you” very much for all of your organisa on in ge ng it here for the children. But wait there’s more! Our very clever general assistant, Rolf Rotzler erected the swings in no me at all and the kids just can’t get enough of them. There is s ll another piece of play equipment to be erected in the holidays and that is a “Triple Body Twister ” which allows three people to stand and twist around and works on their core muscles and is a lot of fun. We can’t wait! Page 12

A Murringo Poem by Doris Rose
“The Historic Village of Murringo has a colourful and exci ng past. I have endeavoured to capture some of these early years and the life of the village in verse to bring History once more come to life. My father, R P Allen purchased the Bakery in 1924 from Mal Wiggins. At that me there were three other shops, Fowlers Drapery and General Store, Kenemores general Store and Davis’ Tea House and General Store. During the Depression, Fowlers and Kenemores closed and the Bakery expanded into a General Store. It was sold in 1937 to the Myers Family”. They walked in their bare feet.
Their shoes were neatly wrapped,
In the paper of the day.
Shiny bright and clean,
In the school bag tucked away.
The walked in bare feet.
On the school rail they would sit,
Put on shoes of shiny black.
Six mile in, six mile back,
Along the old bush track.
They walked in their bare feet.
During morning lessons,
Their eyelids would creep.
Their heads would fall forward,
And they would have a sleep.
Doris Rose 1991. There were three kids,
Who came to our small school.
Six mile in, six mile back,
To learn the golden rule.
They walked in their bare feet.
They made few friends,
These lonely kids.
Who walked the old bush track,
Six mile in, six mile back.
They walked in their bare feet.
Winter cold and summer heat,
They never missed a day.
Six miles in and six miles back,
Shoes safely tucked away.
They walked in their bare feet.
One day we stood and waited,
No kids upon the track.
And as we watched and worried,
Came a horse three kids up on his back.
Black shoes on their bare feet.

Murringo Matters received a lovely email from Cheryl Butterworth who is the
partner of Ray Walton. Ray is pictured here cutting his cake at his 70th B’day
party on the 1st June. Ray is the son of Joggy Walton. Ray was pleased to
see mention of his Dad "Joggy" in the June issue of the Murringo Matters.
The Walton family lived across the creek from Murringo Public School for
many years. The family included John, Ray, Bruce, Tom and Bev, who all
eventually moved to Sydney. John became a
Detective with the NSW police but was sadly
killed in a motor vehicle accident at the age of
37. Bruce now lives in Canberra, Tom in
Forestville and Ray at Belrose, while Bev is
in Nowra.
Ray enjoys reading the town he grew up in
and seeing photos of people he remembers
from the "old days".
Keep up the good work Gina and please pass
on Ray's best wishes to his old mate Tony
Young and his family.
Kind regards Cheryl Butterworth

day, Melissa!

thought she
could get away
without us
knowing that she
will be 60 on the
13th July.
Wrong!
Another lovely email was received
and it read…………..
“Thanks Gina for another excellent
newsletter. They always make me
yearn for something that I can't
put my finger on. Probably they
capture the essence of my
memories of the lovely carefree
holidays and days I've spent in
Murringo as a child and as an
older person at my grandparent's
house. It's so lovely to see so
many surnames that are
intertwined with my family stories.
Thanks again“.
