The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being.

We have had a very cold winter and now as spring emerges the cold remains with very wet conditions. Oh how I long for some warm sunshine to brighten our day. However the Hakeas have stood up to the cold weather very well and many have now flowered. Rainfall in August was 30mm but in the first 6 days of September another 56mm was recorded making the soil very moist indeed. The rain kept falling in September with 150mm recorded. Fortunately my drainage work of spoon drains and deeper drains with slotted pipe with blue metal cover on top shed a lot of water straight into the Council drains. Most of the Hakeas like well drained conditions, so building up beds and getting rid of excess water will help in making them survive. The collection here now stands at 162 species out of a possible 169. Seed of some of the remaining species hopefully will arrive here before Christmas so that I can propagate them over summer. Wanderings. Barbara and I spent most of June and July in northern NSW and Queensland to escape the cold conditions down here. I did look around for Hakeas and visited some members’ gardens. Just to the east of Cann River I found Hakea decurrens ssp. physocarpa, Hakea ulicina and Hakea teretifolia ssp. hirsuta all growing on the edge of a swamp.

  • Natural Versus Supplemental Diets in Possums
    Natural versus Supplemental diets in possums Michelle Thomas Animalia Wildlife Shelter [email protected] 0435822699 When I first started caring for wildlife 20 years ago I started with possums. I made every possible mistake, many of which I attributed to deficient diet and lack of knowledge. My first advice on what possums ate came from a zoo who told me to feed fruit & vegetables, peppermint gum and bottlebrush. This did not seem logical, however, and I puzzled over why we should feed fruit and vegetables to native animals when such foods were not available to them in the wild or their natural habitat across the country. I bumbled along offering rose petals, geraniums, oak , willow and liquid amber leaf , none of it remotely native. By this stage the brushtail and ringtail possums in my care had been tried and tested on broccoli, cauliflower, peas, capsicum, apple, pear, watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet potato, beans, cucumber, cooked carrot, pasta, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter, button mushroom, banana, assorted stone fruits, peanuts, almonds, pine nuts, cashews, figs, cooked chicken breast, steak/chop bones with meat scraps left on, soft boiled eggs, cooked basmati rice and peanut butter or jam sandwiches. Only the best quality was given, however, the cost to provide so many possums with all of the aforementioned foods was astronomical and just when I thought I had the recipe right gastro intestinal tract (GIT) problems would arise. After attending a workshop conducted by Dr Anne Fowler in which she asked carers in attendance “why we were not feeding a more natural diet” I decided to take up the challenge; no longer would my ringtails, brushtails and gliders see anything remotely supplemental.

Hunter School of Human & Environmental Studies, University of New England NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA Email: [email protected] Abstract: The vegetation of Basket Swamp National Park (2820 ha), 30 km north east of Tenterfield (28°54’S, 152°09’E) in the Tenterfield Shire, in the Northern Tablelands Bioregion NSW, is described. Seven vegetation communities are mapped based on survey of plots, subsequent ground-truthing, air photo interpretation and substrate. Communities described are: (1) Eucalyptus campanulata (Blackbutt) – Eucalyptus cameronii (Diehard Stringybark) Open Forests, (2) Eucalyptus campanulata (Blackbutt) – Eucalyptus cameronii (Diehard Stringybark) Grassy Open Forests, (3) Leptospermum trinervium (Tea-tree) – Leptospermum polygalifolium subsp. transmontanum (Creek Tea-tree) Riparian Scrub, (4) Leptospermum trinervium (Tea-tree) – Kunzea obovata (Pink Kunzea) – Leptospermum novae-angliae (New England Tea-tree) Heaths & Shrublands, (5) Ceratopetalum apetalum (Coachwood) – Lophostemon confertus (Brush Box) Closed Forest, (6) Eucalyptus obliqua (Messmate) – Eucalyptus campanulata (Blackbutt) Tall Open Forests, and (7) Baeckea omissa (Baeckea) – Baloskion stenocoleum (Sedge) Heathy Sedgelands. All but two communities (3 & 7) were considered adequately reserved locally, no listed endangered or vulnerable commu- nities were found. Thirty-six taxa were considered to be of conservation significance of which two are listed as vulnerable on Schedule 2 of the NSW TSC Act. A further nine have been reported under the RoTAP criteria. Cunninghamia (2004) 8(4): 453–466 Introduction Basket Swamp National Park is located approximately 30 km north east of Tenterfield and 10 km west of the Mount Lindsay Highway (28°54’S, 152°09’E) (Fig.
