Thursday 3 December was Members Night with short presentations by various Club members: The following Sunday we finished-off our year's activities with a walk along the Alum Cliffs Track to the mouth of Browns River at Kingston Beach where we had a barbeque. Two notable finds were a large Blue-tongue lizard (470mm long) and a splendid example of a Christmas beetle. Look in our latest Bulletin for the excursion report; photos will be posted on this site during Feb. |
