“It’s Too Darn HOT” is a song from the MGM film musical ‘Kiss Me Kate’ ably sung and danced by the fast tapping toes of Ann Miller which you may view on YouTube. Another song that deals with heat is from the Pajama Game it’s called ‘Steam Heat’ and for me these songs typify the summer heat and humidity that we as walkers must deal with from November to March here in Brisbane. Hot and steamy!

SUMMER TEMPERATURE PROJECTIONS

I thought I would check the Brisbane Weather Bureau’s daily tempera-

ture projections for December through to March 2019 to see what we

might have to face on walk days scheduled in our Walk Program Book.

Then review what strategies we as individual walkers might take to

keep our cool. This month December 2018 days

with high temperatures and humidity, six (6) walks will be walked in 30°

C plus temperature, in January 2019 nine (9) walks in 30°C plus, Feb-

ruary twelve (12) walks 29°C plus and March twelve (12) 28°C plus

walks if the computer models are correct. Problem is Mother Nature

and Climate Change may dish up even higher temperatures as we

experienced in November 2018. The warmest day was 32.5 C in Bris-

bane and 36°C in the western suburbs. For our WFP Walkers summer

heat raises a lot of questions, as it does for those who plan the walks.

Some like it hot and when the weather is hot are prepared to walk what-

ever the temperature may be, while others who don’t, those in the more

senior end of our demographic are completely drained by high tempera-

tures. Thirty (30) plus degrees and 77% humidity by 10.am on summer

walks has become the ‘norm’ from late October to the end of March …

and that before10am.

THE HEAT IS ON!

Hello Walkers, Welcome to this Christmas edition of our newsletter which many of you will begin to read or

peruse the photos as you enjoy the Christmas Luncheon at the Manly Foreshore Park. Coming together with the many friends you have made over the years - walking with Walking For Pleas-

ure.

We continue to celebrate our 30th year of walking in Brisbane and surrounding Shires, as well as intrastate and interstate camping and Outdoor Adventures. This is reflected in this newsletter as we visit the past, contemplate the future and read about what has been happening in the past four

months.

Several weeks back my contribu-tion file was almost empty of items for this newsletter - then the images, stories; reports began arriving. Also sad news about the passing of a Life mem-ber Syd Saville OBE and Pat O’Connell an enthusiastic Volun-teer whose work had helped reshape walks and influenced

the way we socialize together

after walks.

All came by phone calls or to my inbox by way of email and at-tachments. If nobody had con-tributed you would be looking at blank pages. Thank you to all who have contributed to this Christmas newsletter. WFP has enjoyed 30 years of life because as a group, members contribut-ed, gave of their time an energy. What can you contribute to en-sure that WFP continues to serve the community for years to

come?

May we take this opportunity to wish all of you and your families an enjoyable and safe Christmas and New Year period. May 2019 be a year of good health and interesting walks and camps.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

As this is the last newsletter for 2018, I

would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry

and Safe Christmas.

Hope to see you all at the Christmas Celebration at Manly on

5th December. The first program for the New Year – 2019

should be available for collection and we can enjoy some love-

ly food, atmosphere and catch up with other members for a

chat, something we are very good at.

Sadly, we lost our very first Honorary Secretary, Syd Saville,

recently. See Vale in this newsletter.

I was unable to attend the AGM in October but still managed

to be re-elected as President, in fact all of the outgoing com-

mittee are back for one more year. I look forward to working

with them into 2019.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts and best wishes in my

recent upheaval. You will be pleased to know that my house

has been repaired, there is only the new carpet to be laid now.

I made a lot of new friends in the village as everyone stopped

to check on the progress of the repairs.

Keep on walking. Elaine

PUBLIC LIABILITY

INSURANCE Walking for Pleasure Brisbane Inc does have an extensive Public Lia-bility Insurance Policy which helps to cover the volunteers against litiga-tion.

Please Note: Walkers are not cov-

ered by this insurance; it is a require-

ment by the relevant Government

authority to become an Incorporated

Association.

The Heat Is On continued from page one SOUVENIR EDITION

The Walking For Pleasure Program Planning

Committee sets a program in this period

with walks that are shady and near water

such as creeks; river and ocean. Volunteer

Walk Leaders are given the option to cancel,

change or shorten the route on the day, but

is this best practice?. Will it be in the future?

STRATEGIES TO BEAT HEAT

So what are some strategies we as individu-

al walkers might take to keep our cool. Be-

low are a few tips:-

Tip #1: Drink lots of water:- Sipping a ‘Slushie’ before venturing out in hot, humid condi-tions ensure that you're hydrated when you start your walk and

may enable you to keep going 20 per-cent longer than those who just drink water. . (Make your own ‘Slushie’ by blending ice with high-water fruits such as berries, watermelon, peaches or plums.) Then carry ice water or a sports drink and sip every 10 to 15 minutes while walking. Tip #2: Dress for the weather:- Loose-fitting,

lightweight and light coloured clothing re-

flect sunlight instead of absorbing it to keep you

cooler. Pale colours are also less likely to at-

tract bugs. Wear a broad brimmed hat or long

peaked cap – keep your head covered and

neck if possible. Wear -Sneakers made of

lightweight, breathable fabrics, like mesh, will

make your feet sweat less than leather styles.

Tip #3: Go easy:- Listen to Your Body: Your

body will tell you when you can push yourself,

and when it's time to coast. If you develop a

headache or become dizzy or weak, stop exer-

cising and head for a cool place. Severely ele-

vated body temperatures for a prolonged period

can lead to a loss of consciousness, vomiting,

or heat stroke. If you feel faint, drink plenty of

cool fluids, and rest immediately. Shorten your

walk take more rest breaks than usual under

a shady tree perhaps every 15 minutes when

you pause to take that drink.

Tip #5: Know the symptoms of heat exhaus-tion and heat stroke. Dizziness, nausea, head-ache, rapid heartbeat and trouble breathing

may be signals that the body is overheated. Sip water and splash cold water on the body to help cool it down. Call 000 immediately if these methods don’t bring relief right away or if a person collapses or loses consciousness. The

situation can quickly become critical, so don’t hesitate.

Enjoy all your summer days – even the very hot ones – and stay safe using the hot-weather tips in this article. And one more thing: certain health problems and medications may increase sensitivity to heat. You may want to check with your doctor about any additional steps you should take to help you stay safe this summer.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Over the past year or two our volunteer numbers have been reduced by a considerably large number for a variety of reasons. This has resulted in a handful of the same volunteers being called on again and again. Some of our walk leaders are having to do consecutive walks each week often without a tail ender – a very important role.

You may have noticed that the walks over the hotter months have been cut down to two main walks each week. The reason being partly due to heat but also due to the lack of volunteers. If we don’t attract more volunteer walk leaders and tail enders this number may be reduced again and could be extended to include the cooler months.

Being a volunteer is easy, all that is required to be a walk leader/tail ender is the ability to follow written directions, choose a walk that you think you would like to lead or help the leader by tail ending, then let the Walk Co-Ordinator know either by phone contact or by turning up for one of our bi-monthly meetings – free refreshments provided. JUST ONE WALK PER MONTH would be helpful, more if you are keen. All volunteers are covered by our Volunteer Personal Accident Insurance policy.

The committee would like to hear from anyone with any ideas about new walks that you think would be an asset to our program, perhaps in your own area. We will be happy to come along to pre walk any sug-gested routes.

WE NEED YOUR HELP

Sausage Sizzles to be Reduced in 2019

Due to concerns regarding lessening numbers

of volunteers & a falling in number of members in attend-

ance at the ‘Sizzles’, it has been decided by the commit-

tee to reduce these events from monthly to bi-monthly

starting in 2019. The first sizzle to be held in January at

Shorncliffe & the second in March at Sherwood Forest

Park. Should special birthday's fall during the off months

they will be celebrated at either the

sizzle before or in the month follow-

ing the birthday. These changes

will be reviewed by the Planning

Committee later in the year.

VALE: SYD SAVILLE: OBE

Syd Saville joined Walking For Pleasure in 1988/89. During 1990 he took part in one of the first WFP camps to Mt Nebo and later Moreton Island with Brisbane City Council’s Recreation Group which was to become Walking For Pleasure’s

Outdoor Adventures Camp Group One.

Syd served on the WFP Executive as Vice President and Secretary. When WFP separated from BCC, he was on the committee which set up the group as a not for profit community organization. Helping to draft the WFP constitution with the

assistance of Vera Raymer when Incorporated in 1998 was another of his tasks..

Syd has been a regular participant on Camp Group One activities and took part in

and helped with the running of early Safari trips.

Over the years Syd has supported the Outdoor adventures side of WFP as well

as the general walking section of the program and at 90 years of age in 2014 received Life Membership. RIP

VALE PAT O’CONNELL Pat O’Connell a long standing member of Walking For Pleasure, was for many years a Volunteer leader and tail-ender of walks. Pat in her working life was a high school teacher where she met Barbara Miller and together with Barbara’s Late husband Ray after retirement they together expanded and explored new walks particularly on the East Side of Brisbane. I got to know Pat at first by following along on Eastside Saturday Morning Walks when Pat and Ray Edgeman were ‘tailing’ the walkers, listening to their conversation about films a life long interest of Pat on which she was very knowledgeable. Pat together with the Millers was in-strumental in changing the WFP eating habits after 10.00am walks from the sand-wich and thermos in the park for lunch to the coffee shop menu. Pat’s funeral ser-vice took place at St Peter and Paul’s Catholic Church Balmoral. RIP

Hi Max today 7 of our group with Ruth Knight as our leader had a most enjoyable walk from Wynnum North through the mangrove and board-walk to Wynnum Central. We saw several small birds and "40" black swans on the bay. Well Ruth may have exaggerated the number. ...seeing she had the best eyesight . A great day

Wynnum North Mangrove Boardwalk

Stepping out with Walking for Pleasure

Exploration is often thought of as some-

thing that happened in the past, histo-

ry. Today, in 2003 there is a group of

explorers at work in your local area.

Ray and Barbara Miller, residents of

Carina, Pat O’Connell Morningside, and

Audrey Prestridge Wynnum are four

such explorers. They spend their spare

time seeking out and mapping inter-

esting walks around the eastern and

southern suburbs, Cleveland and Victo-

ria Point. Barbara supplies the mobile

support the others the legs.

These four people have one thing in

common; they are volunteers for Walk-

ing for Pleasure Brisbane Inc. The sight

of 50 broad brim hatted, backpacking,

water bottle toting walkers, often leave

motorists gobsmacked as they emerge

onto the footpath to cross a busy thor-

oughfare and then plunge into park or

bushland. Board walks, esplanades,

mangroves, billabongs, river and creek

trails, lookouts and historical buildings all

are the ingredients linked by our walk

plotting teams to create two hour walks,

most with access by public transport.

Ray often steps out as a guide on many

of these newly discovered walks other

volunteers tail the group so people may

walk at their own pace and fitness level.

Aged 18 to 80 may take part in these

walks. Walks can be from 5 to 10 klms in

distance, and 90 minute to two hours in

duration and are usually accessible from

bus stops or railway stations and have

options for shorter or longer walks.

Last year Ray and Pat led a group of

walkers from Belmont hills to the sea at

Wynnum a 22 klm walk and this winter

he will lead a walk from Meadowlands

Picnic ground to Cleveland.

Walking for Pleasure Brisbane Inc is a

Not for profit community group staffed

by volunteers. Until December 2002 it

worked together with the Brisbane City

Council, for 14 years planning and ad-

ministering the community walks pro-

gramme. Walks are held on most days

of the week, accessible by public

transport, give the opportunity to ex-

plore your city and suburbs, and were

you will discover sights and sounds you

never knew existed.

Get and keep fit while meeting new

friends. Walks are early morning, mid

morning and evening. Bring a water

bottle, a hat and sunscreen

Elaine Wickings, President of Walking for

Pleasure Brisbane Inc stated that these

three volunteers are an example of the

many trained volunteers who act as

guides and in administrative capacity for

the group. Over the past two years we

have added many new walks around

Brisbane and outer Shires. We are aware

of the growth in popularity of walking in

the community as a means to new levels

of activity and fitness; there is much doc-

umented evidence of the benefits to

heart lung lowering of bad cholesterol

and blood pressure. We constantly in-

troduce new walks that allow people of

all ages to further explore and enjoy

their city, its natural beauty and herit-

age.

As an added bonus for registered walk-

ers they also have access to Outdoor

Adventures – Bush Walks, Camps and

Safaris, all organised and led by experi-

enced volunteers. Local walks in your

area are in the community news section

of this newspaper and walks in other

area including other shires are to be

found at www.ourbrisbane.com further

OUT and ABOUT

August 29th WYNNUM WALK Today seven (7) walkers of our group with Ruth Knight as our leader had a most enjoya-ble walk from Wynnum North through the man-groves and boardwalk at Wynnum North to Wynnum Central. We saw several small birds a n d " 4 0 " s w a n s o n t h e b a y . Well Ruth may have exaggerated the num-ber ... seeing she had the best eyesight. A great day out .

SPRINGWOOD CONSERVATION PARK Because the bus from the city was very late when it arrived at Springwood Bus Station we missed our next bus connection to the start of the walk. Lucky for us Pat N. was there and with her local knowledge was able to come up with an alternative. If you don't mind the 130 steps, there is a safe-

ty handrail, this is a beautiful walk along sealed paths through eucalypt forest with an understo-ry of ferns, big boulders, rocky formations, cliffs, a lookout and wooden bridges criss-crossing the gorge. It makes for an interesting walk. There was a sausage sizzle after the walk and as usual Elaine had a variety of sausages. It was a pity that there were so few to enjoy them. We had two birthdays Val's 80th and Colin's 70th and as is the custom Pat had ordered two yummy cakes. They both took home a lot as there is only so much the small number of us could eat.

ASPLEY TO RAVEN STREET RESERVE A nice walk this one, even without a coffee shop. It was a fine hot day so we were thankful for the cloud cover and the shade from the trees along Little Cabbage Creek. Because of the earlier rain we could not use the short cut across the creek so had to go the long way round passing some of the more up-market

houses. It was pleasant walking through Milne Street Reserve with heaps of lush green grass trees covering the hilly slopes. A few keen walkers went up to the lookout while the rest continued across busy Hamilton Road via the wildlife green bridge. The final leg of the walk was easy going downhill along a bitumen path to the Downfall Creek picnic area.

MELBOURNE CUP at ROMA STREET GARDEN What better way to spend the morning than wandering through Roma Street Parklands before settling down to watch the running of the Melbourne Cup on a wide screen televi-sion in the comfort of the recreation room at the complex where

Muriel has a unit. There is great variety in the gardens from the memorials to the spectacle garden a blaze of colour with brightly coloured flowers. It was fun walking through the mist along a trickling man- made stream with lots of ferns. As we walked back along the lake passed lots

of water d r a g o n s s u n n i n g themselves. After the walk we enjoyed a nice lunch prepared b y some of the committee. Of course it would not be Melbourne Cup without a couple of sweeps. Congratulations to the winners. Two

people Jan and Margaret showed their imagina-tion with their decorated hats.

A great day was had by all with time to mingle with friends old and new.

Bye Margaret

Day 1 Brisbane to Macksville Motor Inn On board the bus with Peter our driver we are on our way to Macksville Motor Inn which is halfway between Sydney and Bris-bane in the Nambucca valley. We stop at a stopping bay at the side of the road for morning tea it is called the Swallow Birds Nest. The next stop was lunch by the Rich-mond River at Woodburn, we had passed

great scenery and lots of sugarcane farms. It was great to arrive at the Motor Inn after 450 km of travel, time to unpack and go for a little walk before dinner.

Day 2 Bellinger Valley—Dorrigo Mountain A new driver Tony will be with us for the next five days, we had a video showing us the rainforests of Australia while travelling through the Bellinger Valley and the very scenic Dorrigo mountain, we stopped at Bellinger and had a walk around the town-ship, the walkers manage to get some walks. We had morning tea at Newell Falls, a little light rain fell. We then continued on to Dorrigo to the Scenic Skywalk and the Rainforest Centre. We had lunch at the Dorrigo RSL with a really nice variety of sandwiches and a piece of fruit cake.

Day 3 Port Macquarie, Hastings River Cruise Port Macquarie, off to the river cruise on the Hastings River where we saw and learnt about the Oyster farms, Oyster beds were everywhere. We saw an osprey nest

and crescent head birds. Afterwards we drove through the city to the fudge facto-ry where we could sample and buy the fudge. We had lunch there as there was plenty of tables and chairs outside. We had

subway sandwiches. On the way back we stopped at Kempsey for Joan, Suzanne and Sandra to visit the Slim Dusty Museum while we had a tour around Crescent Head. While we had dinner a singer sang songs from six until eight all the old songs that we knew. Day 4 Bowraville Museum &Hawaiian Hulas A visit to the Bowraville Museum then around town where shopping bags were bought, then we were on to the RSL. Tony put on a video of the Slim Dusty story. We had a hot lunch at Macksville RSL, then onto the pub with no beer. The story goes that one day the pub ran out of beer so Slim Dusty wrote and sang a song about it. Then it was on to the Macadamia Factory

where we could buy some of the nuts. On the way back we passed the towns of Stu-arts Point and Grassy Heads. We had an Hawaiian night so had to pick up shirts and skirts after dinner. We had a show with Vince turning into an actor and Muriel and Suzanne doing a hula dance while the rest of us did the hokey pokey and the chicken dance. Day 5 Grafton day out—Clarence River Grafton day out, another Museum the Clar-ence River historical. A collection of wedgewood and items of historic interest. Afterwards we go to Lawrence on the Clar-ence river we visit the Bell collection of 53 years, there are over 1000. Ross explained

the use of several to us. We move on to the Lawrence Museum it used to be the 2NR broadcasting station where we had lunch. Different tiny sandwiches and somehow they kept taking them away when some hadn’t eaten them. Then they bought out a plate of cakes cut into quarters, best was a plate of fruit if you were lucky. In the middle of this one of the ladies husband arrived with flowers and balloons as he had been away and he loved his wife. We had a look around there was a

The Summons A preacher on his deathbed summoned his

doctor and his lawyer. They came, and he

asked them to sit on either side of his bed

and hold his hands.

They sat thus for a long while until the doc-

tor stirred and said, ”You don’t have long

on this earth, Reverend. Better tell us why

you asked us to come.”

The old preacher stirred himself wheezed

and said “Well, Jesus died between two

thieves, and that’s the way I want to go

too.”

Doggy Western three-legged dog walks into a saloon in

the Old West. He slides up to the bar and

announces: 'I'm looking for the man who

shot my paw.'

Two Eskimos

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly.

But when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank,

proving once and for all that you can't have

your kayak and heat it.

The Complaint

I went down the local supermarket, I said,

"I want to make a complaint, this vinegar's

got lumps in it", he said, "Those are pickled

onions". '

Patient to Doctor, I can't stop singing the

'Green, Green Grass of Home'. He said:

'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome'. 'Is

it common?' I asked. 'It's not unusual' he

replied.
