SUMMARY:Long Range Excursion - Westonia
DESCRIPTION:The Club has been invited to visit the property of Bush Blocks Guardians in Westonia adjacent to Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve (western side). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are a wide variety of landscapes: large granite outcrops and slabs with shallow gnammas\, large tors and a very unique and extensive mini mogote field; a long and high breakaway with many caves and ochre patches; several water courses set in a wide variety of vegetation types.  \n\n\n\n(Photo by Peter Ewing). \n\n\n\n\nThere are active malleefowl nests and we can visit a range of Aboriginal heritage stone placements and a dolerite dyke tool-making site. We will also learn about the revegetation progress and methods being used\, about some of the checkered history of the property’s owners and use\, about the long-term wildlife monitoring\, and we will go for walks on the property\, and drives/walks in Chiddarcooping Nature Reserve. \n\n\n\nOther activities anticipated are carrying out flora surveys and spending a couple of days at Baladjie Rock. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you are interested in participating in the Long Range Excursion\, please RSVP as soon as possible below.

SUMMARY:Excursion Fremantle Shipwrecks Museum
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the fascinating history of Australia’s oldest shipwrecks. The WA Shipwrecks Museum is recognised as the foremost maritime archaeology museum in the southern hemisphere. Steeped in history\, the museum galleries house hundreds of relics from ships wrecked along WA’s treacherous coastline\, including the original timbers from Batavia (wrecked in 1629)\, the de Vlamingh Dish\, and also countless artefacts from the Dutch shipwrecks Zuytdorp\, Zeewijk and Vergulde Draeck. \n\n\n\nImage courtesy WA Shipwrecks Museum \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGetting there: There is nearby paid car parking and it is a 10-15 minute walk from the train station and bus terminus. \n\n\n\nMeet: At 10.30 am\, outside the Museum entrance.

The remainder of the time will be yours to see the various exhibitions of all the many ships wrecked off our coast. \n\n\n\nCost: The Museum is free but you are encouraged to give a donation to help fund their conservation work. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact: Margaret or the Office before Wednesday May 28 or just RSVP if you are coming so we can be sure that Museum guides know the size of the group.

SUMMARY:Ollie Worrell Reserve\, High Wycombe  "Sit and stand bird watching excursion and bird photography mentoring"
DESCRIPTION:DRB Excursion: Leaders\, renowned Naturalists Rachel and Mike Green \nOllie Worrell Reserve in High Wycombe has a permanent standing lake with many bird species. E-bird has recorded 84 species of birds there. Our excursion leaders\, Mike and Rachel\, have been visiting the reserve regularly since November 2024 and have been impressed with the different bird species they have seen. There are even two birds on the E-bird list they have never seen anywhere. They have seen a Reed Warbler’s nest with chicks\, Dusky Moorhen with chicks\, a Great Cormorant\, a group of Hardheads\, Musk Ducks\, a Darter and several other birds of interest. \nThe opportunity to walk around the lake is limited\, but some seats are supplied\, and they are excellent places to observe the lake\, the island\, and the extensive reeds. People can also bring their own chairs. It is near Abernethy Road\, so traffic can be noisy\, but on the opposite side of the lake\, where we will predominantly be focused\, it is quieter. \nThis excursion will be ideal for beginner bird-watchers and those with moderate experience. Mike is an experienced bird watcher and will provide help with bird identification and sightings. Rachel is an amateur bird photographer and will be available to help people learn some extra techniques for bird photography. This will be ideal for bird photography beginners or those amateurs who want to improve the bird pictures they get. It doesn’t matter what kind of camera you have. \nThere is a flat concrete path around the best part of the lake\, providing access for those with walkers\, wheelchairs\, disabilities\, etc. \nPlease note that there are no facilities\, and car parking is available at Mathew Gibney Catholic School next door or on Worrell Avenue. We will meet at the oval entrance next to the Worrell Avenue reserve\, off Abernethy Road. \nWe anticipate having several visitors from Mike’s bird workshops attending from the local area. \nBring your binoculars. Watch out for the Weather and wear suitable clothing and shoes.\n\n9.30 am – 11 am.

SUMMARY:NSB's Re-enactment of First Excursion : Lake Joondalup
DESCRIPTION:The Wanneroo and District Branch held its first excursion on 31 March 1985. It was to Neil Hawkins Park. Not long after\, Noelene Goodsell\, wife of the inaugural president\, used her position as a school teacher to involve the Wanneroo Primary School in planning a Nature Trail along the shore of Lake Joondalup. \nOur re-enactment will take us from the park to the Yellagonga Scenic Lookout and beyond. There won’t be too many wildflowers but hopefully lots of birds and maybe a turtle or two. \nPrize for anyone in early 1980s dress. Guys\, how quickly can you grow a mullet! \nComfortable footwear and clothes suitable for the weather. Bring morning tea. \nThere is an added bonus – Neil Hawkins Park is the venue for a special installation during the Joondalup Festival – come along\, listen and learn. \n(Photo: Gary Tate)

SUMMARY:GOLLY WALK: CONTINUING OUR BURNS BEACH TO FREMANTLE RAMBLE
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Muderup Rocks. Town of Cottesloe \nThis year we will depart from the norm and skip the couple of kilometres that would have taken us from Swanbourne to Cottesloe. Instead we will start our walk at Muderup Rocks at the southern end of Cottesloe Beach and walk to the beach opposite the Old Cable Station \nOur guides will be Sue Conlan from Friends of Mosman Park Bushland and Mike Gregson from the Naturalists’ Club. We will start by observing some of the geological features of the rocks and learning the significance of the rocks to the Noongar people. Further along the beach we can explore the beach wrack and look for the osprey and other birds that frequent the area. Mike will also point out the spot on the reef where he has seen a sea horse. Our walk will conclude with a talk about the history of the old cable station.  From there we will organise a shuttle back to our starting point and then drive to the Secret Garden for morning tea. \nOur meeting place will be the lawn opposite the western end of Forrest St\, Cottesloe. \nThe walk will be a mixture of walking on the beach and on made footpaths.  Please note there are no toilets along the way. As this is our last walk of the year please bring a plate to share. \nWe are almost in sight of the finish line! Just a couple of more years and we will be there.

SUMMARY:Centenary Excursion to Dryandra National Park
DESCRIPTION:As part of our 100-year Anniversary\, we will visit Dryandra woodland\, including a visit to Barna Mia. Dryandra woodland is the largest remnant of native vegetation in the western Wheatbelt and well known and appreciated by our Club.  \n\n\n\n\nDryandra is home to magnificent trees and spectacular wildflowers in spring. The open eucalypt woodlands of white-barked wandoo and powderbark covered much of the Wheatbelt before it was cleared for farming. Thickets of rock sheoak and kwongan heath provide habitat for several of Dryandra’s rare species. \n\n\n\n\nWe might also see nocturnal wildlife\, some of the 24 mammal\, 98 bird and 41 reptile species that are all known to call Dryandra home\, including Western Australia’s state mammal emblem\, the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus). \n\n\n\nWe have booked four cottages at the Lions Village\, which will accommodate 16 to 20 people. Booking is required to ensure a bed in the cottages. The costs for two nights shared accommodation will depend on how many people attend (approx. $65 for 2 nights). Other members are welcome to join us for the whole or part of the excursion but would need to arrange their own accommodation (two campsites are available). Cost for a visit to Barna Mia will be around $25. \n\n\n\nTo book a place in one of the cottages\, a non-refundable deposit of $15 is needed to hold your place. Money should be paid into the Club’s bank account as soon as possible\, with reference Dryandra excursion (BSB 633000 Acc 168641629).  Further information will be provided after you have RSVP’d and booked. Contact the Club office for any questions. \n\n\n\nBring: Binoculars\, cameras\, bedding\, food for the stay\, etc.
