This was followed by a trip to Ted's beach for some of 
the group - named after the Hydro engineer who 
artificially created the conditions for the beach to form 
by subsequent wave action. 
Entertainment for the evening was provided by 
Genevieve with a convincing argument for NOT eating 
wild fungi and a presentation on South America. Peter 
Jarman and young Nick Plumb had set up camera traps 
around Strathgordon, and they showed us the results of 
this with some photos of pademelons. We were also 
treated to a presentation of Anna and Geoff's slides of 
the original Lake Pedder.

Our last day saw the weather deteriorate further as we 
explored the area around Strathgordon which included 
the old town, revegetation and Pedder Galaxias ponds. 
On the trip home we stopped off at Ted's Beach and 
then at the Styx Valley's Big Tree Reserve. Here we 
found lots of fungi and were fortunate to find a superb 
specimen of an Aseroe rubra. 
We then all went home to dry off after a very enjoyable 
Easter camp.
