NEWS

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.
