Dot points
I've moved the following dot points from the article so that they can be checked and rewritten as rpose. Currently they're unsourced, but they seem easy enough to find references for. - Bilby (talk) 03:16, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, they are not unsourced. Although it's not blatently explicit, the article does refer to Jo Chesher, "The Friends’ (of the Heysen Trail) Patron, C Warren Bonython AO : A Patron’s Walking Life", Trailwalker, Winter 2007, pp.18-20., which is the source.
