The Challenge
Practica IVf SLR

The Warrumbungles, NSW, Australia


This Kodachrome hasn't travelled too well.

I think the Scout, my younger brother, was contemplating how to climb the
rocky spire ahead of him, using only a pocket knife and a ball of string.
Backpacks have also come a long way. However, bigger also means heavier.

Footnote: Over 40 years later, my brother (and his wife)
visited that area with his latest 'backpack'. See it HERE

Practica IVf, Hanimar f3.5/135, Kodachrome 25

A determined Scout! Great comp. Could have been a poster for the boys scouts back then.

Looks like an old school satchel...we did that back then...multi purpose as long as it had wear left, unlike today with must haves !!

I've never actually been up close the the W's...a must do one day. !!
