My Dad and I were cleaning out my late grandpa's garage on the weekend when I came across a few old brochures. My Grandparents were in the bird lovers society and many bush walking clubs over the years so they collected some cool stuff.
The first one that took my interest was a Paddy Pallin 'camping, bushwalking, rock climbing catalogue' from April 1972 .
For example I could buy Edelweiss 8mm climbing rope for 21cents per foot or 5mm for 9cents per foot. Stubai ice axe for $23.90. Crampons $26.60. Pair of 'Gollies' friction boots canvas upper $19.90. Hexagons vary from 45c to $2.00. Wedges fron 45c to 55c. Clog wire sling jam nuts all $1.45. The average screw gate is $2.00
Good reading for the older climber.
A few small booklets on Mt Kaputar National Park NSW 1974
An Australian travel magazine called 'Walkabout' from oct 1970
'Kosciusko National Park' cost $1 printed 1969
A book called 'ECOS' CSIRO Environmental Research 1st August 1974
Topographical map of 'Warrumbungle National Park Central Area.
If anybody is genuinely interested in these items I would be happy to give them to you. They are all in pristine condition and well worth the read.
Cheers, Jevon
