This cartoon featured in the Otago Daily Times in 1977 depicts the extensive and varied tramping trips undertaken by members of the Dunedin Phoenix Club and the difficulty that family members often had in keeping up. The accompanying article by physiotherapist Nancy Grant (née Galloway) detailed recent tramping trips undertaken by the Club to the Milford, Routeburn and Hollyford Walks. As testimony to the cartoon, a further tramp, accompanied by the University Army Medical Corps, was planned to the Carrick Ranges near Queenstown.
