At our December meeting, to round off the year, we had short presentations
from: Genevieve Gate – flowers of Costa Rica, James Wood – a lively account of Craspedia in SE Tasmanian, Simon Grove – reflective natural history of his local Taroona, Anthony Bill – Newfoundland and the Bay of Fundy, Natalie Tapson – birds and wildlife at Broome Observatory, Janet & Geoff Fenton - desert boat trip on Cooper Creek. On 4 Dec club members walked along the Pelverata Falls Track— the rain held off and the falls were in good spate. Afterwards we celebrated the end of the club year with a barbeque in the excellent community facility in Pelverata. You can read an account of this and other recent excursions in our latest Bulletin. |
