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. |  |

Nullas 0 Shortly after the picnic, Harvey Cohen with a carload of other ANUJSS came to Wallaga Lake and discussed with the kids the idea of a club. The kids were asked to think up a name before we left. And as ever we organised games and all had fun. |  |
