Thrutch No 71 June-July 1977 .
Greg Child at Wirindi on the front cover, Bob Ryan on DogFace on Editorial page.
And of course Mike Law styling on Weiding Wall on the back . . .

Article on Northern Snowy Mountains.
Areas aound Talbingo got developed when two Czechs Mylec & Nemec became friends in Talbingo in the early 70's. Dveloped several areas covering granitet, limestone and volcanics ( monolite)
Blue Water Holes Coolemon - great potential , quite close to Canberra via backtrails across Brindabella Range.
Five known routes, though old pitons were found on some first ascents??
Steep limestone, sustained routes; scenic nature should ensure future popularity . . .
Nearby Yarragobilly is also talked about favourably . . .

Hope that helps . . .

Cheers
