First Steps 0 The idea of ANUJSS running a children\'s club at Wallaga Lake emerged. But would it work?. So - as a first step - a largish group from ANUJSS came down to Wallaga Lake, and took the kids to a picnic at Camel Rock Beach. |  |
Where Next 0 1965 September: The Club working well, benefits clear, but key members of ANUJSS were set to leave Canberra early in 1966. What to do ? How to pass on the running, and to whom in 1966 ? |
