SUMMARY:Xanthorrhoea and Kingia: iconic grasstrees
DESCRIPTION:What Xanthorrhea is that? Or is it a Kingia?\n\nBack in 2020\, presenters Geoff and Linda\, along with other Western Botanical ecological consultancy staff\, noticed significant variation in Xanthorrhoea (Grasstrees) while undertaking surveys in the eastern wheatbelt.  When they investigated Xanthorrhoea nana\, they found three forms that were difficult to distinguish\, so they began taking notes\, specimens and DNA samples.  This led to observations of other species elsewhere in the south-west of WA and Central Australia\, expanding their collections and developing a better understanding of the variation within the genus. With assistance from the WA Herbarium and other researchers\, they are working towards a revision of the Xanthorrhoea genus in WA.\nGeoff Cockerton has been working with WA native flora since 1979\, commencing while at university\, initially as a native seed supplier and since then as a botanical consultant\, now working at Western Botanical consultancy.\nLinda Dalgliesh has worked as an ecologist in WA and Qld for the past 20 years and has skills in zoology and botany.\nAfter the main presentation there will be a short focus on Botswana with Diana Papenfus.

SUMMARY:Lois Gearing on the Naretha Bluebonnet Parrot
DESCRIPTION:Lois Gearing will talk about the little-known Naretha Bluebonnet Parrot \nNote: This event will not be held in our usual venue. It has been changed to Zig-Zig Seminar Room\, 50 Railway Road\, Kalamunda\n\nNote: no RSVP required.\n\n \n\nTopic:\n\nThe Naretha Bluebonnet (Northiella narethae) is one of Australia’s least-known parrots — and one of the very last to be discovered\, formally described as recently as 1921. Even its name carries deep meaning: narethae is derived from the local Indigenous name for saltbush\, a vital and lifesaving food source in the remote and often hostile country this parrot inhabits. \nThis remarkable species is confined to the Myall belt of Western and South Australia\, on the fringe of the Nullarbor Plain — a landscape characterised by vast distances\, saline soils\, bluebush and saltbush\, and very few trees. It is a land where survival itself seems improbable\, yet the Naretha Bluebonnet has evolved to endure and persist. \nFor a time\, agricultural development across parts of this region inadvertently benefited the species by providing more reliable sources of water\, and flocks once numbered in the hundreds. However\, other landscape changes have since made survival far more challenging. Gone are the days of flocks of 400\, and populations have declined significantly\, particularly in Western Australia. \nIn the 1990s\, the then Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) established a pioneering captive breeding program in partnership with private aviculturists — a novel and forward-thinking initiative for Western Australia. As part of this program\, surplus birds were made available to the public through CALM-run auctions. These auctions not only helped support the program\, but also played a critical role in raising awareness of a parrot that\, until then\, very few people knew existed — or that it lived in WA at all. \nIt was through one of these CALM auctions that Lois and Wayne Gearing first came to meet the Naretha Bluebonnet and began what has become a decades-long commitment to the species\, not as owners\, but as guardians. Their involvement has spanned both intensive avicultural work and time spent in the bird’s remote homelands — landscapes that leave one asking how any creature survives there\, let alone breeds successfully. \nToday\, the greatest threat facing the Naretha Bluebonnet is the loss of nesting habitat. Suitable nesting trees are few and far between\, and many of the mature Allocasuarina pauper trees — relied upon for nesting hollows — are now splitting and collapsing with age. Regeneration of younger trees is minimal or absent. Without active intervention\, the lack of nesting trees places this resilient little parrot at serious risk of extinction. \nAs of 2026\, there are no Naretha Bluebonnets held in any zoos or wildlife parks in Australia. \nThis presentation explores the ecology of the Naretha Bluebonnet\, the harsh and beautiful landscapes it inhabits\, and the plants and trees essential to its survival — and tells the story of a small\, tough Australian battler that urgently needs our understanding\, advocacy and help. \n\n\nPlus:\n\nFocus/ Boffins talk – Mike and Rachel Green will give a talk on the Spotted Bowerbird. \n“Nature road show”. Members and visitors are encouraged to bring items to place on the display table or to send photographs to the MC in advance\, e.g. a sample flower\, an insect\, and so on – anything of natural history interest that has legally been obtained. If you wish to show a photograph\, please email it\, no later than the Wednesday before the meeting\, to our MC for this night\, and she/he will include it on her PowerPoint slides. We have a dedicated email for this purpose natclub@webco.com.au\nThing of the month / Things coming up next month: These two presentations are about things in nature happening this month and things coming up\, so if you have any photos or information\, send them to: natclub@webco.com.au\nDoor prizes: You could also be the lucky winner of a door prize.

We are open from 6.45pm. We finish formal proceedings no later than 9.30pm.\nDonation: All this for only a donation of $3 per person for adult members ($0 for child members)\, and $5 per adult visitor and $1 per visiting child to help with the costs of running the club\, venue hire\, insurance and so on.  We do not have EFTPOS facilities yet.\nEntrance: It is a condition of entry that everyone signs in on arrival\, thank you.\nParking: Free parking in streets nearby.\nWheelchair access: available.\nToilets: around the corner from the seminar room.\nBookings: No bookings required.\nCOVID19: Even though restrictions have eased\, we will still encourage members and visitors to take precautions and please do not attend if unwell.

SUMMARY:NSB Golly Walk: Lakeview Contemplation Garden
DESCRIPTION:The Lakeview Contemplation Garden in Edgewater is a small community garden focused on growing WA native species.  Members of the local community took over what was once just another suburban park and turned it into a thriving mass of plants from around the state. Some of the volunteers who helped establish the garden will discuss its history and purpose before taking us on a guided tour.  The garden covers only 1000sqm so our visit will not take more than 45-60 minutes. \nThis will be a joint excursion with members of the Northern Suburbs Branch of the Wildflower Society. \nWe will meet at the Edgewater Shopping Centre\, corner Edgewater Drive and Wisteria Parade at 9.00am\, then car pool to the garden as parking space near the garden is very limited. If you arrive late\, park at the top of Ridge Close off Edgewater Drive and enter the garden from the rear entrance. \nWear appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather. \nBring morning tea – we will have it in the gardens\, subject to the weather. \nPhoto: Don Poynton

Of course\, you can use the book to help you!\n\nBroz Park has a sealed easy walking track all around its wetland and lake. It has a bird hide\, toilets\, trees\, native flowers\, BBQs\, seats with shelters\, a water fountain\, and of course\, the birds. The path is suitable for people with walking frames and wheelchairs.\n\nThe Shire of Mundaring supported by Natural Resource Management (NRM) and other organisations are working to improve the health of the wetland and this is a great opportunity to see this important work.\n\nThanks to the Shire of Mundaring who are sponsoring and organising this event and have invited us to join them.
