  • An Onithologlcal Trip in St
    J1IO:RGl1N-Ornithulogical Trip, St. Vil~cent and. SpenceI' OuZfs. 141 An Onithologlcal Trip In St. Vincent and Spencer Gulfs. By ,A. M. MORGAN, ~I.B., Oh.B. During the early part of this year Capt. S. A. White and myself had an opportunity of visiting some of the islands in S1.. Vincent's and Spencer's Gulfs. The trip .was under­ taken at the invitation of Messrs. A. G. and E. S. Rymill, who placed their motor yacht "Avocet" practically at our disposal, and did everything possible to further our aims. The objects .of the trip were: To land on the Pages, three small islands at the southern entrance of Backstairs Passage, as yet, as far al:l we know, not visited by any ornithologist; to secure specimens of a skua, supposed to be the arctic skua; to secure speci­ mens of a white-breasted petrel which neither of us had been able to identify; to investigate the food of cormorants; to take: the temperatures of certain sea birds; and the study of the ornithology of isolated islands. Port Adelaide was left on the afternoon of Janury tst, and the yacht anchored for the night at the Outer Harbour. An early start was made next morning for the Pages, but on rounding Rapid Head, near the northern entrance of Back­ stairs Passage, a strong north-east blow was met, which put landing there out of the question, so a course was made for the Spit, near Kingscote. This is a low sandbank, between two and three miles long and a few feet only above high-water mark.

Vincent N Stansbury E Warooka C Yorketown T I in the DIOCESE OF WILLOCHRA O N So they went out and proclaimed that all should After Pentecost, repent. Mark 6:12 (NRSV) 2018 ..........from Henry For many people humility doesn’t register on their list of personal goals. It’s assumed that being humble means being willing to be stepped on. Who needs that? Jesus shows us the ultimate example of humility. God’s Word tells us, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7). Jesus demonstrated the greatest humility of all. Though eternally with the Father, He chose to bend beneath a cross in love so that through His death He might lift any who receive Him into the joy of His presence. We imitate Jesus’s humility when we seek to serve our heavenly Father by serving others. Jesus’s kindness helps us catch a breathtaking glimpse of the beauty of setting ourselves aside to attend to others’ needs. Aiming for humility isn’t easy in our “me first” world. But as we rest securely in our Saviour’s love, He will give us everything we need to follow Him. Henry Ivey, Locum Ministry District Priest PS – Henry & Jenny’s last Sunday in LYP with be 30 th Sept.

    <iframe src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/ns.html?id=GTM-5L9VKK" height="0" width="0" style="display:none;visibility:hidden"></iframe> Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park About Your browser does not support the audio element. Hear how to pronounce this park name Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park is a favourite for camping, fishing and surfing. Bushwalking is a great way to discover the park, with trails ranging from 30-minute strolls to four-hour treks. You’ll spot an abundance of birds and animals while you catch some of the best coastal views in South Australia. All of the park is accessible by 2WD, so it’s perfect for day visits and a paradise for beach lovers. There is something for everyone at Innes. Visit one of the lighthouses and the shipwreck of the Ethel to learn about the tumultuous maritime history of South Australia. Explore historic Inneston, an abandoned township surrounded by bushland. Take a stroll from your campsite down to the beach for a spot of fishing, or base yourself in one of the restored heritage cottages dotted throughout historic Inneston. Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park (https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/parks/southern-spencer-gulf-marine-park) borders Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. In late 2020, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the proclamation of Innes National Park and the start of a new chapter with the commencement of a co-management agreement with the Narungga traditional owners. In recognition of this milestone, the park was renamed to Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park. As part of the South Australian Government’s Parks 2025 initiative (https://www.parks.sa.gov.au/park- management/improving-sa-national-parks), a number of visitor facilities will be upgrades at three of the park’s most popular sites – Chinaman’s Hill, Stenhouse Bay and Shell Beach.
