E. Baird planted the second on behalf of the lady mem- 
bers. A pleasant end to this outing was the sojourn to 
the home of Mrs. C. T. White, where afternoon tea was 
partaken and a very happy .gathering of the members it 
proved. 
The May excursion was to Ebbw Vale Clay Pit, 
where members collected fossil leaves in quantity. 
EASTER CAMP, 1951 
This was at Mapleton, where the local hall and facili- 
ties were made available to us. 
For this Camp-out our thanks are due to Mr. K. 
Harley for his splendid organisation, in particular that 
part in providing electric light to the hall. Walking 
trips were made to Mapleton Falls, Bon Accord Falls, 
the Narrows and the State Forestry Reserve. Many 
items of interest were noted during these walks. On 
one evening the local residents were invited to attend 
lectures being given and they came in good numbers. Mr. 
G. Mack spoke on “Conservation of Flora and Fauna” 
and Mr. F. S, Colliver spoke on “Pre-historic Animals”. 
Both speakers used slides for illustrations and at the 
end a cup of tea and biscuits were served to and enjoyed 
by all. 
EASTER CAMP, 1952 
The 1952 Camp was at Bribie Island. The Church 
of England Rest Home was made available to us and a 
most interesting Camp-out. was held. The foreshores were

but the botany was not as good as expected, due to 
drought conditions and bush fire damage. A trip by boat 
up Pumice Stone Passage gave glimpses of Emu and 
Black Swans, besides mam other items of interest. 
In the evenings, lecturettes were given and Mr. F. S. 
Colliver spoke on Shells, Professor I). A. Herbert on 
Botany in general, Miss Joan Herbert on Fungi. 
At both Camp-outs wc were pleased to have with us 
a number of students from the Teachers’ Training 
College and the whole party worked together very well. 
These excursions are undoubtedly one of the major 
items in the Club activities during the year. 
The Queen s Birthday week-end was spent at Camp 
Mountain on the property of Dr. and Mrs. E. O. Marks, 
and once again to these valued members do we accord 
thanks for services rendered. Nineteen members attend-
