Alps

Australian Alps

For ski lovers—and for mountain lovers “Australian Alps”, a book on the Koscuisko country of the South of New South Wales, has been repub lished. It was first published in 1942, but there has been so much development in that area since, that author Elyne Mitchell brings the new edition up to date, explaining the effects of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. This big hydro scheme has opened up the snow country and brought skiing thrills to thousands who, unlike Mrs.

Mitchell, hadn’t the spirit of adventure to take them to the winter wilderness when it really was a wilderness. This is a book for those who appreciate the poetry of the snow country, not for those looking for a combined guide and instruction book. (AUSTRALIAN ALPS. Angus and Robertson. 42/-.)
