SUMMARY:Darwin Day - Snorkelling in Coogee
DESCRIPTION:Charles Darwin’s birthday\, which falls on 12 February\, is generally used to highlight Darwin’s contributions to science and to promote science in general. To commemorate his achievements\, the Club will head to Coogee this year\, to go snorkelling around the Omeo wreck and the maritime trail\, and discover and learn about the underwater biodiversity at this location. RSVP required for this event. \n\n\n\nA School of Rough Bullseye (Pempheris klunzingeri)\n\n\n\nThe Omeo wreck is located very close to the shore at Coogee Beach\, mostly submerged and literally covered with marine growth. Anybody interested in the maritime history of the wreck can navigate to the WA Museum website (museum.wa.gov.au/maritime-archaeology-db/wrecks/omeo) as it has some interesting information. \n\n\n\nWe will meet at the stairs on Socrates Parade going to the beach where the Omeo Wreck is located. Please note this is a very popular snorkelling and swimming site and parking nearby might be difficult. Leave plenty of time to be there at the starting time. The excursion is suitable for all ages and levels of snorkelling competence. Water depth varies between 0.5 m to 5 m. \n\n\n\nBring: snorkelling gear (mask\, snorkel\, fins)\, sun protection\, towel\, drinking water; optional a floating device\, underwater camera\, fish and or marine life ID book. We will go to a nearby cafe for refreshments afterwards but you can bring your own as well.

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.
