      <description><![CDATA[I'm sorry but I'v been on the net just searching for the date of when the poem bush walking was published and I can't seem to find it... could someone please tell me when it was published or released? 

*Bushwalking 
--Phillip Rush 

What inspires a man to climb 
The mountains in the autumn-time? 
Is it just because they're there? 
Or for some idiotic dare? 
Or just to prove one's fit enough 
To complete a climb that's tough? 
Each one of these, at times, is right; 
But others climb for sheer delight. 

Not for the joy of aching knees, 
Or scrambling over fallen trees. 
Not for the joy of carrying packs 
That cause so many aching backs. 
Not for the beads of perspiration, 
But for the pure inspiration 
Of living pictures unsurpassed 
When one gains the peak, at last. 

A city dweller cannot see 
The view that lies in front of me, 
As wearily I sit me down 
On Acropolis' crown.
How can one describe the thrills, 
As row on row of distant hills 
Unfold before my very eyes 
Beneath the blue autumnal skies? 
And my mountain throne commands 
Views of jewelled alpine tarns, 
While patches of the brilliant snow 
Reflect the sunlight's mystic glow. 

Anxieties and troubles cease, 
For here the world is all at peace. 
Massive cliffs of sombre grey 
Stretch towards the timeless day. 
And beyond suburban reach 
I see the golden native beach. 
The photograph and artist's paint 
Give but a feeble semblance faint 
Of the beauty, vast and grand, 
Inherent in our glorious land. 
I climb the peaks for inspiration 
Of God's incredible creation.
