...Beatles stepped forward in the state ballroom of Buckingham Palace and bowed shyly. "How long have you been together now?" the Queen asked softly. "Oh, for many years," muttered Paul McCartney. Then Queen Elizabeth II pinned the silver badges of Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire on their solemn, ungear suits. Outside, things were normal again, with a few hundred caterwauling kids trying to crash the palace gates and the Beatles bubbling Liverpudlian again.

And each weekend, rain, shine or snowstorm, hiking parties set out after class on Friday, live until Sunday afternoon in the bush, cooking johnnycakes and damper (a sconelike bread). They cover up to 100 miles of trail beneath silver wattle and broad-leaf peppermint trees, scramble across crumbly dacite rocks.
