P AGE 2 W OLLANGARRA S TAGE III Adventures & Events December Mt Howitt Hike Our December hike was perfect except we left the cheese in the fridge at Woll. Hamish Macrae, Keith Edwards, Louise King, Angus Woodward, Gemma Ross McGlynn (with Maddie and Conrad, as our lead- ers) we all headed our to Mount Howitt for a week long hike. We hiked into Gantner Hut/Mac Springs and spent a chilly night looking out over the Terrible Hollow and the Devils Staircase. We spent the next week walking over the rugged Crosscut, around to the formidable Viking, down into the Wonnangatta valley and back up to Mt.Howitt. It’s hard to express in words how beautiful it was up in the mountains, how much fun we had together and how close we became as a small group. The highlights were Angus’ amazing cheese-less pita pizzas, the sunset at Mac Springs, spontaneous songs from Louise, large amounts of chocolate, lack of complaining, positive attitudes and reading ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go’ on top of the Viking. It was a real treat to go on a decent length hike through some of the most spectacular country around with such a tight-knit group. We all can’t wait to do it again next year and this time we won’t forget the cheese! - Hamish and Louise Stage III induction - December 2009 “Be the change you want to see in Stage III” A bunch of adventurous Stage II’s took the plunge in December 2009 to start their Wollangarra journey of being a Stage III. The weekend involved lots of fun, memorable experiences and inspirational speeches. We were provided with more knowledge of the workings of Wollangarra and how to be more independent around the flat. We also took a stroll to Box Flat where we spent time talking and ‘D&Ming’ about Wollangarra and what we need to think about before we go out on hike as Stage III’s. Thanks for the help from Dan Abikhair, Penny Bates, Alex Pon- tonio and Simmo who shared their knowledge of Wollangarra and the behind the scenes details of what goes on at Woll that we didn’t already know as Stage IIs. We also had to undergo the Stage III induction race, which involved apple bobbing, a ‘rain storm’ and a mys- terious milkshake that was drunk by a member of each team. Overall the weekend was a wonderful success with each new Stage III leaving with great memories and new skills for the future. - Mal, Al, James and Adam.

A UTUMN NEWSLETTER 2009 P AGE 3 Adventures and Events Harrietville to Mittagundi hike Harrietville to Mittagundi, where to start? Well to break it down it was 9 young people, 2 leaders and a whole week to hike through some of the highest parts of the Alpine National Park. As we all headed off from Southern Cross station it was weird to know that we were going on a Wollangarra Hike but not actually going to Wollangarra at all. We were headed towards the land of Ian Stapleton and the famous Mittagundi. And once we arrived in this region we soon realised that we were up for a monster of a week, 40 degrees plus was predicted for the guts of our hike and we were not feeling as confident as before. A change of plan was in order due to fire hazards and we were spend- ing 2 days swimming in anything and everything we could find, as well as hanging out with Ian, the man himself, and other friends of Wollan- garra before heading up the 1986 metre Mount Bogong. To say that some of us were a bit rusty on the hiking part would be correct but we got to the top of Bogong in one piece. The old calf burn feeling was defiantly having a field day as we hiked up the staircase telling all sorts of pointless stories to keep us going. Three days of hiking seemed to wear us all out, with… waterfall swims, extreme water runs through berry bushes and absolutely breath taking views we were well and truly ready to arrive at Mittagundi and set up for a weekend of ‘Pioneer Skills’ fun. To start off the weekend we headed to the Bush Dance at the local hall and my oh my did that dance go ‘off’, after arriving two hours late we made up for lost time and got straight into it and busted some moves until early morning. For the rest of the weekend we looked around Mitta and joined in on the all the activities going on. It was the same sort of stuff that was at the Wollangarra Open Day, but with a Mittagundi twist to it. The January hike was definitely an ex- perience that I would like to repeat. A great group of people, great place and all in all a great time. Annabelle Nunan Stage III news: We would like to welcome two new members to the stage III Committee: Angus Woodward who is going to be helping Hamish with Woll Events and Louise King who has paired up with Ella Barry and these two lovely ladies are bringing you Melbourne Events—they’ve been working had to make the Trivia night a success. The committee has also been working hard to bring you the Stage III calendar—if you have- n’t received one please email Lisa on [email protected]. You’ll notice we have left a weekend in August and the Spring hike blank for your ideas. So think about where you’d like to go or what projects you’d like to do (either at Woll or in the mountains) and let us know. We can help you plan and organise the project—contact the committee at [email protected] More Info on Stage III? See the web: ‘Stage III’ at www.wollangarra.org ‘Stage III Mountain Work Parties’ Group on Facebook or Call Stage III at Wollangarra on (03) 5148 0492 Burgoynes Hut Once upon a time not that long ago, a group of enthusiastic stage IIIs and their mascot ‘Michael Jackson the Barbie’ went on an adventure to Burgoynes Hut. We called it the ‘Burgoynes raising the roof party weekend’. And that was exactly what we intended to do, party hard and raise a roof.

LONG Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, W A 6000, Australia ABSTRACT. Two new lungfishes are described from the Frasnian lacustrine sediments near Mount Howitt, eastern Victoria. Howidipterus donnae n.gen., n.sp. has toothplates with well-developed marginal teeth, and has a skull roof pattern similar to Scaumenacia but with a D bone present and large paired rostral bones anterior to the E bones. The cheek has moderately deep infraorbitals. The scales have a coarse ornament with widely spaced ridges. Barwickia downunda n.gen., n.sp. has a skull roof pattern characterised by a narrow, small D bone, narrow E bones as long as the C bones, and I bones which are indented well into the rear of the B bone and on occasion may contact each other. The dentition is denticulate as in Fleurantia. The cheek has a narrow, bar-like bone 6 + 7.
