HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-10-19, Page 17A turalyS Bush walking Some friends of mine have recently mov- ed to Australia, and are keeping me sup- plied with outdoor magazines from that con- tinent. I've seen Australian magazines before, but it's been on a very hit and miss basis, so having them come in regularly is a real treat. From reading these magazines, it would appear that one of the favorite pastimes of Aussies is a sport called "Bush Walking" Bush walking apparently encompasses all age groups and can range from a full fledg- ed, backpacking cum mountain climbing ex- pedition into the remotest, wildest parts, to a simple half-hour walk among the gum trees and wilega brush. The only require- ment is that you actually get out of the car and walk, and enjoy the bush for what it is. Fall is my favorite time of year, mainly because the bush is so beautiful then. The absence of insects and the cooler temperatures make exploring a real pleasure. In early fall, the main canopy of the bush is alive with color while the under- brush has dropped most of its, leaves to make walking easier and extending our range of vision. Even in very late fall when all the leaves have dropped, the Canadian Shield is still beautiful in a stark and barren way. One of my favorite pastimes while walk- ing in September I besides shooting grouse that is i is exploring the world of mycology fancy talk for hunting mushrooms). There are literally hundreds of species of • (h r Quklflg By Steve Coke mushrooms springing up from the forest floor, all different shapes, sizes, and colors. While a lot of them are inedible. or poisonous, there are a few which are real gems to find. Examining all the different varieties, trying to identify them with a reliable mushroom guide, and taking good photographs of them can be a real challenge, and a lot of fun at the same time Apart from the mushrooms, there is a whole range of berries which show up when the leaves are gone and hang on until well into the winter. Wildflowers are throwing their last blooms in an attempt to produce seed, and show up as much more vivid col- ors against the dull brown as opposed to the brilliant greens. Wildlife as well is more active in the fall, Hibernators go on a feeding spree to put on that last ounce or two of fat before denning up, and migratory birds start to form up in flocks for the long trek south. As the leaves come down, visibility increases, and a soft moist carpet of leaves is easy to walk on. If you want to get out in the bush, your best bet would be a trip along one of the Nature Trails at Hullett, or in one of the many areas set aside by the various Con- servation Authorities. If you haven't done it for a while, why not plan on giving it a go this coming weekend. You'll be surprised how refreshed, relaxed and invigorated you will feel when you return home. It's one of the few habits around that you can really get hooked on that is truly good for you.
