“My favourite walk is my next walk” (Paddy Pallin)

Helping Newnes recover after the fires

Jim Romanowski

When I look back on my short walking history of 5 years there are numerous memorable walks,
countless incidents of note, many individuals that have brighten my day, lasting impressions a
plenty.

Then there is a walk or an event that is uplifting.

After the devastating bush fires and I was involved in a clean-up day at Newnes. Yes, a different type
of walk! But uplifting and etched in my memory it will always be.

We may not have walked 35km in a day, climbed mountains to magnificent views or crossed raging
rivers but to see many bush walkers giving their time and energy to help was inspiring.
