Don’t panic, it is not that hard. It doesn’t have to be a novel, just an interesting description of what happened on the trip is fine. A list of trip participants and the cars they drive is important. Also, the sooner you write it after the trip, the easier it is to remember everything that happened. Forward it to the trip leader asap so they can then send it on to the editor. Trip leaders, it is up to you to select someone to write the Trip Report for you. Whether you ask a specific person, ask the group if someone would like too, toss a coin to choose or use the old tradition of last person to the meeting point that’s up to you but please have someone selected preferably, early in the trip but definitely by the end of the trip. Please remember to also encourage keen photographers on your trip to send their best few photos to the editor, high resolution images work best. Happy Birthday - April and May Heidi Ploeg Michael Hamilton Ian Warton Jamie Newman David Hood Michael Minny Joel Dedman Jeff Cairns Stephanie Finlayson Hayley Hadfield 4 President’s Report Another two months gone, where is this year going! There have been some great trips lately. Carnarvon Gorge is a beautiful spot and looks like Sandi, Troy and the group found it as beautiful as we did a few years back. Our long awaited trip to Wadbilliga National Park finally came to fruition and was well worth it, what a lovely spot and pretty much deserted, amazing for the Easter break. This trip was made all the better by having a new member along,relatively new to 4wdriving and drivng a Territory. Scott pushed his vehicle to limits he wasn’t sure it was capable of and was suitably impressed. There’some great trips coming up so get involved and get out there. Relay for Life is coming up towards the end of May. This will be the Club’s eighth year participating and we hope that our members will get behind this great cause. Our club was hit hard last year with the loss of one of our own members and as we all know no-one is immune from this insidious disease. During our years of participation we have raised approx $14,500. There are many ways you can help us raise more this year. Obviously, many hands make light work so if you are able to help out for an hour or two or the whole weekend that is great. If walking is your thing, then get some sponsors to donate money per lap that you walk during the weekend event - no point walking for free! If you can’t be there but still want to help?? Everything costs us money which takes away from our profits, so if you want to donate some heat beads, soft drinks, beef roasts, serviettes, sauce, onions, bread rolls etc please contact Kevin and have a chat about what is needed. As previously mentioned, this year marks the 40�� birthday of the Subaru & Recreational 4WD Club. We are looking into some ideas for a Birthday Bash on a weekend towards the end of the year - a formal dinner, Trivia Night, Funkhana ? If you have any ideas give me a call and let me know. We hope that the date for this weekend celebration will be agreed upon very shortly so keep an eye on the website and FB page for more details. We would love to see everyone come and celebrate this great club - 40 years is no mean feat! Cheers, see you out and about Julie Editorially speaking … Welcome to another edition of Drive Torque. Back to hard copy this time. It was great to receive almost all of the trip reports so quickly after the trips had been run for this edition. Thank you to all those who sent reports/pictures in. I had someone ask me the other month how to print the magazine when it’s in electronic form. The easiest way is to go to our club website and download it from there and print. Dead line for June/July edition is Friday 26 June. Please adhere to this, I really love to squeeze as much in as I can each edition but there has to be a cutoff. Julie The Subaru & Recreational 4WD Club, its Editor and the Committee accept no responsibility for opinions expressed in this magazine, nor for the accuracy, veracity, safety or legality of any product or modification. Material for publication should be submitted to the Editor NO LATER than the dates advised. Photographs should be high resolution and include a descriptive caption, if applicable. The inclusion of photos with trip reports is especially encouraged. Information can be sent to the Editor by email to [email protected]. 5 Trip Conveners’ Report Hello fellow members, another few months have passed since our last report with more trips completed and some new ones posted. Troy and I have been looking at the calendar with a view to filling most weekends so our members have a choice with regard to location and type of trip. During March and April the club ran 7 trips being attended by over 40 vehicles. Looking forward to May and June we have 6 trips posted thus far with another 2 set down for July. Troy and I are thankful to these leaders for the time and effort that they have given the club and its members. There are still plenty of empty weekends and there is no reason why a second trip can’t be posted on some of weekends. A good mix of single day trips, weekend and long weekend trips together with social and activity based trips all make for a healthy and happy club.

  • Tracing the Source of Sediment in Australian Coastal Catchments
    Regolith 2006 - Consolidation and Dispersion of Ideas TRACING THE SOURCE OF SEDIMENT IN AUSTRALIAN COASTAL CATCHMENTS Baihua Fu1, John B. Field1 and Lachlan T. Newham1,2 1 School of Resources, Environment and Society, the Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 2 Integrated Catchment Assessment and Management, Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies, the Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 INTRODUCTION Many studies using tracers to quantify fluxes of sediment have been published over the last four decades. However, there is still insufficient information to enable routine selection of suitable tracers outside a limited number of study catchments (Foster et al., 2000). There is increasing evidence to suggest that multiple tracers provide better discrimination than one tracer because no single tracer property can represent all the characteristics of a source (Caitcheon et al., 1994). This paper presents an application of geochemical sediment tracing in Australian coastal catchments. It shows the importance of considering multiple tracers and a practical approach to their use. STUDY AREA The Moruya-Deua and Tuross River catchments are located in the Eurobodalla area on the south east coast of New South Wales. The Moruya-Deua River drains a catchment of approximately 1480 km2 and is fed by two large tributaries – Burra Creek and Araluen Creek. The Tuross River catchment is located south of the Moruya-Deua River catchment. It has a total area of approximately 2170 km2. The main town in the Moruya- Deua River catchment is Moruya, with a smaller village at Araluen. Bodalla is the main town in the Tuross River catchment. On the coast near the mouths of the Moruya-Deua and Tuross Rivers are the townships of Moruya Heads and Tuross Head (Figure 1).
