GENERAL. — A complaint about the removal of the 
fence from the Bora Ring at Nudgee was sent to the Lord 
Mayor by members of this Club. Since then it has been 
reported that another fence has been erected. 
In September last visiting members of the R.A.O.U.

many of the visitors attended the Bird Meeting of the 
Club on the same evening at which Mr, C. C. Bryant. Hon. 
Editor of the “Emu”, gave a very interesting talk on his

Government protesting against a proposal to construct 
motor roads in National Parks.
