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,Bushwalker会贴一些网站连接方便大家购买);
每天1.5-2升水(Bushwalker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。
Bushwalker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Bushwalker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。
'Bushwalkers' Code

Do not disturb our bushland
If you enjoy the pleasures of bushwalking and related self-reliant outdoor activities, you have a big responsibility to protect and preserve the natural landscape for the enjoyment of future generations.
This guide will help you enjoy the bush without leaving your mark.
Be self reliant
Enjoy the natural landscape as it is, on nature’s terms. Carry with you the things you need for your comfort and safety.
For shelter, carry a lightweight tent or flysheet. You can save damage to the environment by using huts when available, but be prepared to share.
Do not camp in an overhang with Indigenous rock art, as the art can be damaged by dust, smoke and fumes (See also ‘Respect Indigenous Heritage’)
Tread softly
Do not exceed the individual park's (POMs) maximum party size limits.
Avoid popular areas in holiday periods when campsites are crowded.
Use existing tracks; don’t create new ones. On zigzag paths, don’t cut corners as this creates unsightly damage that leads to erosion.
In trackless country, spread your party out; don’t walk in one another’s footsteps. Avoid easily damaged places such as peat bogs, cushion moss, swamps and fragile rock formations.
Wade through waterlogged sections of tracks; don’t create a skein of new tracks around them.
Except in really rough terrain, wear lightweight, soft-soled walking shoes or joggers rather than heavy boots.
Become proficient in bush navigation. Try not to build cairns, blaze trees, place tags etc, as this takes away from the natural setting of the bushland. If you need to leave markers ensure that you remove them at the end of the day.
Watch your safety
Know what to do in emergencies. Rescue operations often cause serious damage, so take care to avoid the need for rescue.
Acquire knowledge in First Aid so you know how to handle illness and injuries.
Carry clothing and equipment to suit the worst possible conditions you are likely to encounter.
Carry a mobile phone if you want to, but use it only for summoning aid in an emergency. Keep it switched off until needed.
Pack it in, pack it out
Don’t carry glass bottles and jars, cans, drink cartons lined with aluminium foil and excess packaging.
If you can’t resist carrying such things, don’t leave them in the bush. Remember, if you can carry a full container in, you can easily carry the empty one out.
Remove all your rubbish including food scraps, paper, plastic, aluminium foil and empty containers.
Don’t burn or bury rubbish. Burning creates pollution and buried rubbish may be dug up and scattered by animals.
Digging also disturbs the soil, causing erosion and encouraging weeds.
Carry a plastic bag for your rubbish. If you find litter left by irresponsible people along the track or around a campsite, please remove it. Show you care for the environment, even if others don’t.
When walking in scrubby country, do not strap closed-cell sleep mats or items in plastic bags outside your pack. The bush will be littered with pieces of foam and plastic.
Be hygienic
Ensure you are at least 50 metres from campsites, creeks and lakes, when going to the toilet. Wait until you get out of sensitive areas such as caves and canyons before defecating or urinating.
Bury all faeces and toilet paper at least 15cm deep. In snow, dig through the snow first, then dig a hole in the ground.
Carry out things that won’t easily decompose, such as used tampons, sanitary pads and condoms.
Carry a lightweight plastic trowel or a large aluminium tent peg to make digging easier.
Keep water pure
Wash cooking and eating utensils well back from the edge of lakes and creeks so waste water falls on soil where it will be absorbed.
Prevent soap, detergent or toothpaste from getting into natural water systems. Similarly, when washing cooking utensils, don’t use detergent and don’t let oils and food scraps get into creeks or lakes.
Always swim downstream from where you get your drinking water.
Be VERY careful with fire
Have a fire only when you are absolutely certain you can light it with safety. A fuel stove is preferable for cooking and thermal clothing is better for warmth.
Always use a fuel stove in places where even a tiny fire may cause permanent damage. Places where fire lighting should be avoided include many rainforest and all alpine regions.
Do not light fires: in hot, summer conditions
-in dry windy weather
-in declared ‘fuel stove only’ areas
-when there is a declared fire ban.
Always remember
Fire doesn’t destroy aluminium foil, and plastics release toxic gases when burnt. So carry foil and plastics out in your pack with all your other rubbish, including food scraps. Don’t use your campfire as a rubbish incinerator.
If you light a campfire, follow these rules
In popular campsites, light your fire on a bare patch left by previous fires. Don’t light it on fresh ground.
Light your fire on bare soil or sand, well away from stumps, logs, living plants and river stones (which may explode when heated).
Definitely don’t build a ring of stones as a fireplace. This is unnecessary and unsightly. Dismantle stone rings wherever you find them.
Sweep away all leaves, grass and other flammable material for at least two metres around your fireplace. (Major bushfires have been caused by careless campers who didn’t take this precaution.)
Burn only dead wood that’s fallen to the ground. Don’t break limbs from trees or shrubs.
Keep your fire small -remember, the bigger the fool, the bigger the fire.
Before you leave
Douse your fire thoroughly with water, even if it appears to be already out. Don’t try to smother a fire by covering it with soil or sand as the coals will continue to smoulder for days. Only water kills a fire with total certainty.
Feel the ground under the coals. If it is too hot to touch, the fire is not out. Douse it some more.
Scatter the cold charcoal and ashes well clear of your campsite, then rake soil and leaves over the spot where your fire was. You should aim to remove all trace of it.
Choose campsites carefully
Think twice about using a popular campsite to avoid overuse. If possible, vary your route slightly so you can find an alternative site in a less frequented area.
Find an open space to erect your tent so it is unnecessary to clear vegetation. In difficult overgrown areas, trample undergrowth flat rather than pull plants out of the ground. A trampled spot soon recovers.
Use a waterproof groundsheet or tent with a sewn-in floor and you won’t have to worry about surface runoff in wet weather. Avoid the temptation to dig drains around your tent. This practice damages the environment and is not acceptable
If you have to remove branches or rocks to create a tent site, replace them before you leave.
Leave your campsite pristine. After a few days it should be impossible to see where you were camped.
Protect Plants and Animals
Try not to disturb wildlife. Remember, you are the trespasser.
Give snakes a wide berth and leave them alone. They have more right to be there than you do.
Watch where you put your feet. Walk around delicate plants.
Don’t feed birds and animals around campsites or they may become pests. Unnatural food can be harmful to many species.
Respect Indigenous heritage
Many places have spiritual or cultural significance for our Indigenous communities. Treat such places with consideration and respect.
Obtain permission from traditional landowners or the relevant land manager to visit sensitive areas.
Leave Indigenous relics as you find them. Don’t touch paintings or rock engravings.
Be courteous to others
The sound of, radios, CD players, mobile phones and similar devices is out of place in the natural environment. Leave the electronics at home. (See note under Safety concerning the acceptable use of mobile phones.)
Ensure your behaviour and activities don’t disturb or offend others. Always keep voices to a minimum.
Camp as far away from other groups as conditions allow. Don’t use another group’s campfire without permission.
Leave gates and slip rails as you find them. When you open a gate, make sure the last person through knows it has to be closed.
Respect the rights of landholders and land managers. Don’t enter private property without permission.
In national parks, abide by plans of management and encourage others to do so too.
When in camp
Do your share of getting firewood and water. When breaking camp, help to remove the remains of your fire (if you had one) and clean up the site.
Don’t throw rubbish on a fire where people are cooking. In fact, don’t throw rubbish on a fire at all; carry it out with you. (See section: Pack it in, Pack it Out.)
Don’t step over other people’s uncovered food.
Offer what is required to help others in need. This could be your leader, who may be carrying group safety items, someone in the group who has injured themselves, or forgotten their billy, or another group who may not have communications to summon emergency medical aid. Recognise that some individuals may need your help but will never ask for it. Volunteer it.
Emergency contact
In an emergency you can contact the Bushwalkers Wilderness Rescue Squad on 13 22 22 and ask operator to send your message, including return STD phone number to pager no. 6277 321
Walk safely, walk with a club
Take nothing but happy memories and photographs -leave nothing but footprints.
Minimal Impact Bushwalking means do nothing
leave nothing that shows where you have been.

What do you really need depend on how/where/how long you are going to bushwalking/hiking
Leeches in Australia
Leeches
• Leeches are Annelids (or segmented worms) and are closely related to earthworms.
• There are over 100 different leech species in Australia.
• Leeches have 34 segments, with a powerful sucker at the end.
• Leeches breathe through their body walls.
• Australian leeches vary in size from 7mm up to 200mm when extended.
• They are commonly found in dimly lit places. Most leeches live in freshwater but some live on land, in damp areas of tropical rainforests.
• In Australia’s tropical rainforests the most common leech is the land-dwelling jawed leech (Gnatbobdellida libbata).
• Leeches are hermaphrodites. Each leech has both male and female sex organs. Leeches die after they have reproduced once or twice.
• Leeches are an important part of forest and stream ecosystems because they act as both predators and prey in the life cycle of many animals.
• Leeches are carnivorous. Some prey on invertebrates. They feed on insect larvae, snails, crustaceans and other worms. Their digestive enzymes process their food within a few days.
• Other leeches feed on the blood of vertebrates such as amphibians, birds, reptiles, fish and mammals - including humans! Animals that feed on blood are called sanguivorous. Leeches need symbiotic bacteria to help digest their blood meals which can take weeks or even months.
• Leech bodies are covered with receptors so they can detect warmblooded animals by sight, smell, vibrations and temperature.
• They can also sense carbon dioxide in the air. This indicates there is a breathing animal nearby, which could be their next prey!
• In wet weather the leech waits in foliage or on the forest floor to attach itself to a passing warm-blooded animal. It will wave its head and body around, looking for signals that food is nearby.
• Birds, fish and frogs get their revenge on these bloodsuckers by feasting on them. (Pittas feed leeches to their chicks.) Other predators of leeches are turtles, and the larvae of damselflies and dragonflies.
• Rainforest bushwalkers are a very convenient food source because they brush against low foliage or sit on damp logs or rocks. A waiting leech can easily hitch a ride and grab a snack. When leeches are aware of a meal nearby, they climb the victim’s legs and attach themselves to the first area of bare flesh.
• Leeches use suckers on each end of its body to loop swiftly in pursuit of its host. Once the leech is on the host it looks for a shadowy, protected spot. It holds on tightly with the larger sucker at its mouth, then cuts a hole in the host with its sharp teeth.
• The leech releases an anaesthetic in its saliva which numbs the skin and keeps the host from knowing it is sucking their blood.
• Leeches also release an anti-coagulant called hirudin which stops blood from clotting and keeps it flowing for as long as the leech is feeding. This anti-coagulant also stops the victim’s blood from clotting in the gut of the leech and giving them digestive problems.
• Leeches can consume several times their own weight in just one bloody meal. It can be up to five times heavier than it was at the beginning of its meal.
• When they are full of blood they drop off and find a dark spot to rest and digest their meal.
• After a good feed, a leech can survive several months to a year before feeding again.
• It is difficult to outwit leeches. To keep leeches from biting you, avoid brushing against low vegetation in damp or wet places.
• Cover your socks and shoes with eucalyptus oil or soap. The lather repels leeches. You can also wear pantyhose on the outside of socks and long pants to keep leeches off your legs.
• If you apply insect repellent to your socks and shoes, keep clear of creeks so you don’t pollute the water.
• To detach a leech, carefully expose the leech to heat such as a lighted cigarette or a flame or try sprinking it with salt, tea tree oil, eucalyptus oil, alcohol or insect repellent. Don’t pull leeches off. This can tear the skin which may then become infected.
• If you just want to move the leech on, slide a fingernail under the biting end. (The hirudin might cause the bite to bleed for some time, and the bites are often itchy.)
• Leeches can be dangerous if they fasten themselves to an eyeball. The only safe thing to do is wait for 15-40 minutes until the leech detaches itself and drops off. Don’t pull the leech off and don’t apply salt or you may damage your eye.
• People use leeches in medicine. They are important source of anti-coagulants to prevent blood clots from forming in patients. (Blood clots cause strokes.) Leeches produce vasodilators. Leeches are used in plastic surgery to prevent bruising and in reattaching amputated limbs.
Outdoor activities carry their own risks of injury and death. The Organizer(s) has(have) no any control over what the participant does, and cannot accept any liability for any loss or accidents which the participant might suffer.
