Diamantina National Park | Sally Johnsen |
The choice of
destination depends
on
road conditions
for getting
into the
park after the
flood waters
recede. If access into Diamantina NP is not safe, then we will visit another western location that has recently benefitted from rain and/or flood, but that has safe road access. See more details here To register click Register |
| Meeting | 19/08/2019 | The enlightened citizens guide to Marine Pollution | Prof. Chris Frid |
What can we do
with our waste?
For many years, the response to waste disposal was 'the solution to pollution is dilution'. But 50 years ago, when we first saw images of our little planet hanging in space, it became obvious that we sit on a finite planet and cannot keep on diluting forever. In this whirl-wind tour of the science, economics, engineering and philosophy of marine pollution, we look at what we have learnt in the last 50 years and what the next 50 might hold for our seas and oceans. |
| Excursion | 31/08/2019 | Bradbury's Beach, Dunwich, Stradbroke Island | Miriam Preker |
North
Stradbroke
Island is one of
Australia’s most
outstanding
natural areas.
It lies at the
heart of a major
biogeographic
overlap zone. It
is here that the
southern and
northern
biotas meet,
forming unusual
communities of
both
temperate
and tropical
species. Bradbury’s Beach, Dunwich combines this with a diversity of habitats in close proximity to one another: mud and sand flats; seagrass beds; a small mangrove area; a macro?algal?dominated intertidal area; a rocky out?cropping; and a small patch of corals |
