  • Paluma Nature Notes Contributions to the PDCA Newsletter, Turkey Talk, 2011-2018
    Paluma Nature Notes Contributions to the PDCA Newsletter, Turkey Talk, 2011-2018 by Roy MacKay Compiled by Jamie Oliver Roy Mackay – Nature Notes Compilation Introduction Roy Mackay first moved to Paluma in 1987 having had a varied and successful career in Australia and PNG working as taxidermist, curator wildlife park director, photographer and book author. He was a highly skilled naturalist, with a keen interest in all plants and animals (especially in the tropics). Through his regular walks in and around Paluma and avid reading of the literature, Roy quickly became Paluma’s resident expert on the wildlife and natural history of the area. With the establishment of Paluma’s regular newsletter, Turkey Talk, Roy found an effective way to share this wealth of knowledge. His first contributions, starting with issue 28, dealt with short notes related to natural history (eg. announcements of new species lists, book reviews etc.) but by Issue 39, with an article entitled “Nature Notes” he concentrated on recording new and interesting observations from Paluma and nearby areas. With the exception of a series of 4 articles titled “Roy's Rovings” (under a different Turkey Talk editor), and the occasional missed article due to absence or ill health, and one article named “Paluma in the Clouds” Roy’s contributions were simply labelled “Nature Notes” and they became a much-read part of virtually all issues of Turkey Talk from number 45 onwards. In total he wrote 78 articles. All of these are reproduced below. Jamie Oliver December, 2019 Page 2 Contents Each Nature Notes article has been extracted from an issue of the newsletter of the Paluma & District Community Association (Turkey Talk – abbreviated at TT throughout).
