    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.
  • The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin

    The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin

    A Cordial Encounter? 53 A Cordial Encounter? The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin (8-9 April, 1802) Jean Fornasiero and John West-Sooby1 The famous encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders in the waters off Australia’s previously uncharted south coast has now entered the nation’s folklore. At a time when their respective countries were locked in conflict at home and competing for strategic advantage on the world stage, the two captains were able to set aside national rivalries and personal disappointments in order to greet one another with courtesy and mutual respect. Their meeting is thus portrayed as symbolic of the triumph of international co-operation over the troubled geopolitics of the day. What united the two expeditions—the quest for knowledge in the spirit of the Enlightenment—proved to be stronger than what divided them. This enduring—and endearing—image of the encounter between Baudin and Flinders is certainly well supported by the facts as we know them. The two captains did indeed conduct themselves on that occasion in an exemplary manner, readily exchanging information about their respective discoveries and advising one another about the navigational hazards they should avoid or about safe anchorages where water and other supplies could be obtained. Furthermore, the civility of their meeting points to a strong degree of mutual respect, and perhaps also to a recognition of their shared experience as navigators whom fate had thrown together on the lonely and treacherous shores of the “unknown coast” of Australia. And yet, as appealing as it may be, this increasingly idealized image of the encounter runs the risk of masking some of its subtleties and complexities.

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.
