After many, many hours of research, Ken has put together the following pieces of the car’s life story. In April 1937 the coupe was black in colour when registered 259-324 in Victoria to Cyril Waters, a primary producer of Warragul. The car had previously been Victo- rian registered 241-931 and had a dicky seat. Ron Zinner bought the car in Warragul around 1954, when Ken rebuilt its en- gine.

Because since then there’s been no end to the number of go-fast machines named after the fabled Wolseley Hornet. Back in 1951 the Hudson Motor Car Company put the Hornet badge on its new 308 cubic inch V8-engined hottie. This Hudson Hornet went on to win 27 of the 34 NASCAR Grand National races in 1952, followed by 22 of 37 in 1953, and 17 of 37 in 1954. American Motors Corporation continued the trend in the US, borrowing the Wolseley model name again for its Rambler Hornet built from 1968 to 1976. And Japan fi- nally succumbed to the temptation, with Honda adopting the name for its current Honda Hornet CB900 motor bike. Even in Australia the famed Hornet has made its mark.

  • Friends of Forrestdale Newsletter Edition 19 May 2020
    Friends of Forrestdale Newsletter Edition 19 May 2020 FRINGED REGELIA Regelia ciliata elonging to the family Myrtaceae, Regelia ciliata, along with the four other species in the genus, is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. Preferring winter-wet sandy soils, it occurs along the coast from approximately B Dongara to Busselton, as well as some isolated pockets inland. The genus Regelia is named in honour of a distinguished figure: Eduard August von Regel (1815 – 1892), a German botanist, horticulturalist, scientist and author, who towards the end of his career served as Director of the Russian Imperial Botanical Garden of St. Petersburg. Regel himself described and named over 3000 plant species, but in 1843 it was botanist J. C. Schauer who named the genus in his honour. The species name ciliata originates from the Latin word cilium which means "eyelash”. This is in reference to the hairs fringing the leaves of the species. It also accounts for the plant’s common name. Regelia ciliata is classified by WA Parks and Wildlife as “not threatened”. This too applies to Regelia inops and R. velutina. The other two species, Regelia cymbifolia and R. megacephala, both having a limited range, are classified as “Priority Four”. An important habitat plant, fringed regelia is plentiful in Forrestdale. It occurs in dense thickets in Anstey-Keane Damplands, covering large areas, and is also found on the eastern side of the Lake Forrestdale Nature Reserve. Plants of this species are destroyed by fire, but regeneration from seed is rapid. If left unburnt for a sufficient time, shrubs can reach a height of over two metres.

ZooKeys 550: 135–152. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.550.9447 Abstract Flies make up more than 10% of the planetary biota and our well-being depends on how we manage our coexistence with flies. Storing and accessing relevant knowledge about flies is intimately connected with using correct names, and Systema Dipterorum provides a single authoritative classification for flies developed by consensus among contributors. The 160,000 species of flies currently known are distributed among 160 recent families and some 12,000 genera, which with their synonyms encompass a total of more than a quarter of a million names. These names and their associated classification are shared with relevant global solutions. Sherborn appears to have done remarkably well indexing Diptera names with an overall error rate estimated to be close to 1%.
