APS NSW - Armidale & District Group Autumn 2012 Newsle er page 1 GROUP INFORMATION The Armidale and District Group of APS---NSW started on 6th August, 1977 as the New England Group of the Society for Growing Australian Plants. It has been running con nuously since that me with a couple of name changes. We are a very friendly and helpful group who enjoy monthly forums and mee ngs, garden visits and field trips to help members enjoy the search for knowledge about our na ve flora and our local environment. We range from raw beginners to others who have been gardening and researching for many years - all willing to share their knowledge.
Formal Mee ngs are held at 5.30pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Members are welcome to a end. Na ve Plant and Garden Forums are held in the TAFE Library Seminar Room on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except June, July, December and January) from 7.30 – 9.30 where members talk about plants in flower from specimens displayed on the flower table and share informa on about gardening topics. The Forum is followed by a delicious supper and an interes ng speaker. Old and new members, visitors and families, are very welcome at these Forums and on our ou ngs (see page 8 for details). Annual General Mee ng is held in February. Sols ce Func on is held in June. This is usually a lunch and garden ramble at the home of one of our members. Wa le Day Ac vity is held on a day closest to 1 September. Christmas Party is held early in December at the home of one of our members. We also lead regular trips into the bush and the occasional weekend escape to the coast or elsewhere. We par cipate in St Peter’s Garden Tour in November each year, opening one of our gardens to the public and holding our Giant Annual Plant Sale. We hold a Market Stall each month in the Mall. Come along and say hello. Our members have also been ac ve in developing and maintaining the Na ve Garden beds at the Arboretum. We welcome volunteers who would like to help. See p.8 for details.

On 19th February, a er the cool, wet Summer, we resumed our field trips following the Christmas break with a visit to Dumaresq Dam. There were ten a endees, made up of Pat Laher, Thelma Dennis, Phil Rose, Ros and Brian Leslie, Glenda and Col Mulquiney, Maria Hitchcock and John and Barbara Nevin. Many of us had not been to the area for some years, and we were pleasantly surprised at what a pleasant spot the dam has evolved into. Historically, part of Armidale’s water supply, but long made redundant by Gara and Malpas Dams, it has been retained for its recrea onal use.
The spot is well maintained by Council with extensive grassed areas, with picnic tables and chairs as well as Lythrum salicaria BBQ facili es. A commercial opera on offering kayaks for hire has recently been introduced. There would have the damper areas of the grassland.

It dies right back in the winter cold, but shoots again when the warm weather returns, pu ng on a great flowering display through the summer months.On the hillsides, Eucalyptus bridgesiana was a mass of white flowers, with the dull hum of the bees seeking the nectar that could readily be smelt.

We drove to Backwater and turned into Aqua Park Rd meeting up with Penelope Sinclair at the Junction of Forest Park Rd. Here we donned gumboots and spent an hour checking out species in and around the swamp. We came across Banksia spinulosa var. nova anglica, Banksia marginata, Xerochrysum bracteatum, Leptospermum gregarium, Allocasuarina littoralis, Callistemon pityoides, Epacris microphylla, Acacia rubida, Baeckea omissa, Eucalyptus acaciiformis, Hakea microcarpa and Viola betonicifolia among a very rich collection of local flora. Of note was the rare Sphagnum moss growing in the bog.
