Policy
经过和Blackbird带领的墨尔本爬山帮深入的交谈，我们受益良多。

为了为大家创造一个更好的环境来享受澳洲的自然风光，锻炼身体，广交朋友。所以特别写了如下规章试行。不合理之处欢迎大家讨论并改正。


安全规章

安全是出去徒步的重中之重，照顾好自己就是对团队最大的帮助，特别是悉尼登山队经常会走一些有难度的路线，所以请大家严格遵守。

登山鞋（必备);
对讲机（二月份之后每人必备一个，Bushwalking会贴一些网站连接方便大家购买);
每天1.5-2升水（Bushwalking会在车里备一些，水没带够的TZ将被强制成本价购买);

请大家准时到达出发地，如有难处需提前一天提出。


难度

为了方便大家顺利并完成当天的徒步，徒步路线会标明如下难度，如不清楚自己的体力，请首先参加低难度的徒步，循序渐进，做到心中有数。

Bushwalking会经常的选择一些低难度的路线供大家休闲，以及新队员的锻炼。

容易（Easy）：爬升400米以下，时间5小时以下;
中等（Medium）：爬升400-600米，时间5-6小时;
中等偏难（Medium Hard）：爬升600-800米，时间6-7小时;
难（Hard）：爬升800-1000米，时间7-8小时左右;
很难（Challenging）：爬升1000米以上，时间8小时以上.


队费（试用，自愿为主非强迫）

为了方便定期的组织各种活动比如腐败，近期活动讨论会，团购必用的地图，装备，以及增加大家的凝聚力，适当收取队费是可行的。收取队费绝对不是为了盈利，也不是为了私用。

每位队员一次性收取＄10
暂由Bushwalking保管，将来会给合适的队员管理。

队费会在网上全部公开，方便大家查询。


交通

参考了墨尔本的经验，本着公平公正的原则，试用规章如下：

短途大家主动share车费：每位乘客需交 $0.2/km给司机。（税务所退税计算是 $0.7/km, 本地local俱乐部 $0.5/km），但全车不超过$0.4/km。（2人或两人以上都是$0.4/km）

如果司机不好意思收取，乘客将车费上交作为public fund。

长途旅游一律租车（比如来回300公里以上），所有费用全部平摊。

司机可以自愿遵守上述规章或使用其他方法。比如，短途来回低于50km不收费。

We are going to walk “I THINK I CAN” at Glenbrook of Blue Mountain this Saturday August 7, 2010

I think I Can: A highlight of this walk is chance to get a close up view of the Knapsack Viaduct, completed in 1867. It was the most celebrated structure in the colony for many years. The viaduct carried the first trains crossing the Blue Mountains. The gradient was so steep that the trains needed to take the ascent in short sections. This was achieved by the engine pulling the load up to a switch point. The train as then switched to the rails parallel to the first leg on the next gradient. The engine then pushed the train up to the next level. This walk is along what remains of the old zigzag route as well as along a later cutting to a tunnel designed to by-passed the zigzag. A lookout over Glenbrook Gorge with the railway beneath our feet is following by a view into the Blue Mountains National Park to round off this history journey.

Meeting time and places

9:30 AM of August 7, 2010 at Car Park next to Blue Mountains Visitor Center at Glenbrook
GPS S 33º45´55.8", E 150º37´21.2808"

It is compulsory to wear hiking/bushwalking shoes/boots.

We are going to see Deer and bushwalk at Royal National Park this Sunday August 29 2010.

The Deer Stalker

This loop track of about 15 KM with “easy” grade will take 4-5 hours

The beauty of the forest encouraged park management to make a Forest Park Track in 1886 “to open up the park to the public.” Well done!

The walk explored an area, where deer can be seen. Early settlers, to provide more familiar animals than kangaroos, introduced deer. They are still here in limited numbers. Walkers need to be observant, as deer are shy. They are likely to be seen by the creek before reaching the rock pool or on the forest path after leaving Lady Carrington Track.
