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:GOLLY WALK-JOONDAKAMMER: A CABINET OF CURIOSITY FOR JOONDALUP
DESCRIPTION:Our excursion today will highlight the natural history of the City of Joondalup in a most unusual way. After a short walk from Neil Hawkins Park through the bushland of Lakeside Park and Centennial Park we will visit the Joondalup library for a personal explanation by Dr Perditta (Perdy) Phillips of her Joondakammer. \nPerdy\, the daughter of Club stalwart\, Margaret Larke\, created Joondakammer: A cabinet of curiosity for Joondalup\, after being awarded the City’s major Visual Arts Commission in 2022. \n Her work was inspired by early museums that housed artefact collections in cabinets of curiosity or Wunderkammer\, which inspired the content and name of the new artwork. \nThe artwork consists of a wooden cabinet\, complete with abalone shell inlays and filled with specimens found from the Joondalup region\, including pinecones\, nuts\, feathers\, bones\, soil and other objects including a xylotheque. What’s a xylotheque? Join us to find out. \n“It is a true museum for Joondalup\,” the artist said. “I visited many parks and areas where natural lives still carry on – from beaches and sand dunes to bushland and the swampy shores of Lake Joondalup”. \nWe will have refreshments at a local patisserie before returning to our vehicles.

SUMMARY:Railway Track Walk Glen Forrest to Darlington
DESCRIPTION:Our apologies this event has been cancelled due to low attendance \nWe previously arranged this event in 2023 and had to cancel due to extreme hot weather\, hoping earlier in the year  will be fine! \nMeet at Morgan John Morgan Reserve Glen Forrest  9.30am  include time for café or cuppa before walk back ( 6 km in total). or arrange a pick up. It follows the original Eastern Railway Stage 2 route \nHistory of the railway and today’s wildflowers and wildlife**  Construction of this Stage 2 of the Eastern Railway commenced in 1882 and was completed in 1884. The builder was J.W. Wright\, assisted by Edward Keane. This route ran from Guildford to Chidlow’s Well via Darlington and Glen Forrest. All the work was done by manual labour and the evidence of blast marks and drill holes can still be seen along the line. During the construction\, pipe clay was encountered at the big cutting later called the ‘Devils Terror’. This required a deviation of the line and the re-routing of Nyaania Creek south of the new alignment. This work added additional costs and time to the project. The inclines on this line were too great for heavy railway loads and an alternative railway route was added via Swan View/Hovea/Parkerville. This latter section became the main line around a decade later with passenger services being carried by both. The Darlington/Glen Forrest railway section closed in Jan 1954\, due to falling revenue\,. \n** courtesy Darlington History Group Inc
