STRATHGORDON 
Although the rain tried to spoil our weekend, our 
Strathgordon families saw we had a very rewarding trip. 
On Saturday Mrs Hamilton and Mrs Johnstone were able to 
show us the re-growth round the township and foothills 
and then the flowers they had collected - pressed - 
mounted and named for display in their Library. In the 
evening Leonard Wall showed slides and we had informal 
discussions with the interested Strathgordon families 
and visitors. On the way home on Sunday we stopped at 
many points for short walks in the bush - leaving our 
'hostesses' at Scott's Peak Road - hoping to see more of 
them in the future. Details of this trip will be recorded 
in the Observation Book. (Ask Mr Wall to show it to you«)

BONESEKD 
National Parks and Wildlife Service say their Rangers 
take action to eliminate boneseed and other introduced 
weeds where they occur on reserves and where it is prac¬ 
tical to do so. Their regulations prohibit taking 'any 
plant growing or standing in a State Reserve without a 
permit'o They would be grateful for any information we 
may have of occurrences in Reserves. We may not pull 
Boneseed ourselves in reserves unless we have a permit. 
This applies also to pulling in municipal areas - a 
permit is needed from the Council concerned.

SUPPER??? Are you in favour of supper after meetings? 
Would it be bett e r to spend all the spare time after the 
meeting looking at specimens, periodicals etc, chatting 
with members, and, if we change our venue, changing 
Library Books? (It is always hard to woo people out into 
the supper room so as to get finished by the appointed 
time J) Tell us your thought at the February Meeting.
