The creators of “Wattle Grove” saw it as Veterans’ Voice a symbolic battlefield or metaphor for the Dardanelles, with the obelisk representative of the cliffs the Australians had climbed at Gallipoli. The cross, which was added in 1918, recognises the Allies’ withdrawal from Gallipoli and the sacrifice of those who remained buried there.

    Junior Field Naturalists SA Newsletter - July 2019 Hi Junior Field Naturalists, July Meeting When: Thursday 25 July, 7.00pm, Bellevue Heights Primary School Topic: Biodiversity of the Mt Lofty Ranges Overview: Did you know that Mt Lofty is a biodiversity hotspot? What does that mean and why are so many wonderful animals found in our back yards? Our speaker will answer this question and then reveal his 20 favourite animals in our space (and why) and encourage everyone to make their own list and choose their own special animal. Speaker: Prof Chris Daniels, inaugural Director of Cleland Wildlife Park and adjunct professor of Biology in the School of Pharmacy & Medical Sciences at UniSA. He is a very well known science communicator and is focused on conserving wildlife and connecting people with nature. Among his many outstanding achievements, Chris has also published award-wining books on nature. As the Patron of Junior Field Naturalists SA, Chris also initiated the free memberships for each child member of our Club to Cleland Wildlife Park. He has provided enormous assistance to our Club over many years and is always ready to step in when needed. We are privileged to have Chris as the Patron of our Club, and we are delighted that he will be presenting the talk for this month. Not to be missed! Field Trip: Dive into History The wonderful volunteers from the City of Adelaide Clipper Ship have put together a special event just for our club.
