November 1979. 
Our '75th 1 
There was a good roll up of members on Sep 20th and all 
appreciated the Birthday Cake (made by Mrs. Stephens) with 
its brown Platypus on white icing with green background,, 
The cutting of the cake was performed by Life Member, Mr 
ftelsey Aves - and ’.ve have some slides to record the happy 
occasion. The special outing, too, was well attended, and ir 
lovely warm sunshine we retraced the steps of the first 
folk to go on a E. Eats outing - up Old Farm Road behind 
the Cascade Brewery and up Myrtle Gully 0 We came back to a 
field by the road for lunch and boiled the billy pis they 
did so long ago. I wonder if the club will still be going 
in another 75 years? It will be the year 2054 l

FEDERATION OF FIELD NATURALISTS 1 CLUBS OF TASMANIA 
Five members of this club attended the biannual meeting held 
on King Island on Oct. 20th. We flew in 6-seater planes on 
Charter and were billeted for the weekend. Discussion ranged 
through Signposting, Dismal Swamp, Ragwort, Boneseed, 
Marine Parks, Rgadside Reserves, Gravel Pits,Coloured 
Poison Baits, proposed additional Reserves, It is 
expected that the A.G.M. 1980 will be held at Bumie on the 
March long weekend so that a visit can be made to Dismal 
Swamp where the Forestry are researching the possibility 
of growing Blackwood for commercial purposes. The weather 
was really wonderful and so were the King Island Field Mats 
who did everything to see that we enjoyed our stay and saw 
as much of King Island as possible in the time available.
