Bob Cachet from the Bureau of Meteorology kept almost sixty club members asking questions well into coffee time. It was a most informative session - I think we all learnt a great deal. To those who missed out . - . you will be the Club "wets'! Cut or Keep? Conflicts over Australian Woodchipping Monthly Meeting - Wednesday March 18th, 8pm, Dickson Library The woodchipping debate is a heated one. Emotions often run high. Most of us have an opinion. How many of us . though, really understand the issues? Do you feel that those with vested interests often present distorted, one-eyed arguments? At our March meeting not one, but three, guest speakers fron the ANUs Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies will form a panel to give us as dispassionate a presentation as you will be likely to hear on woodohipping in Australia. Each speaker has been involved extensively in the woodchipping industry through research, critical evaluation and the publishing of pertinent papers. The guest speakers are John Dargavel, John Formby and Paul Parker. Their talks will cover:- 1/ UJoodohips as the epitomy of the five-way conflicts between economic. environmental, social, political and scientific concerns. 2/ History of woodohip exports and their planned extension. 3/ Clearfelling. sustained yield and environmental effects. 4/ Economic and trade issues. 5/ Environmental Impact Assessments and the political process. There will then be an open question and answer discussion time when the panel will respond to your questions and comments. Make sure you are there so you can become informed. Being informed can help you better form your own opinion. The acting Conservation Officer, Patrick Tobin, has encouraged club members to attend the Conservation Council's April 4-8th activity weekend in support of the forest areas of the South-East Region near Eden. The evening of March 18th should be an informative prelude to this. April Monthly Meeting Sneak Preview - Slide Competition It will soon be time to cull the acres of celluloid you have exposed in pursuit of the ultimate wilderness calendar shot! The categories to think of are candid camera, action, landscape, portrait, "what could have been" and Flo 'arty-farty" (yes, this year your close-ups of tree-trunks, rocks and flowers have a category of ther own)! See next months IT for details of competition rules, regulations and prizes Kern-Ann President's Prattle On a number of Club walks lately I have been surprised to find people trying to dump rubbish which they claim to be 'biodegradable". It appears that some people are not aware of the accepted rule now within bushwalking clubs that everything carried in must be carried out. So called "biodegradable" items ltke seeds, paper. orange peel and apple cores can take a long time to degrade. In the meantime the bush can be left looking like a refuse tip. Dumping any kind of rubbish in the bush destroys its pristine character and considerably detracts from other people's enjoyment of these areas. You do not dump rubbish in your living room so why dump rubbish in areas where other people are walking and camping? Wherever possible toilet paper should be burnt or at the very least buried about 8" below the surface. Tampons and sanitary napkins should either be burnt or carried out. I will never forget seeing an old tampon caught up in twigs just above where I was collecting water in a tiny side stream near a hut in New Zealand. The level of use of bushwalking areas is increasing rapidly and we all have a responsibility to preserve these areas for future users. This also means carrying out other people's rubbish when you find it. Remember the old adage. Take only photographs and leave only footprints: On a lighter note our roving conservation officer. Julie Andrew made it to WA. After some days recuperating on Rottnest Is from the long bus trip, she is heading off to Geraldton from where she plans to bike to Kalbarri National Park.

What a wonderful Easter Chapel service we had at School led by Year 12 reading the Easter story from the Gospel of John. The singing from the whole School was inspira- tional, supported so ably by our instrument group. It was wonderful that so many parents and family members could Term 1 Issue 1 share this occasion with us. April 2016 The purpose of this newsletter is to review the term that is almost over and to let you know some important dates for the first half of Term 2. TERM ONE IN REVIEW Parent/Guardian Information Nights Your feedback on these occasions was that we have been able to convey the School expectations and guidelines in supporting learning at home. The attendance this year was very good. We see these occa- sions as vital in creating the link between School and home. The Senior Hospitality students excelled in catering for us on all these occasions. I am sure you will agree! Module Two (Years 9 & 10) School Camp What a varied week with the most magnificent weather on the South Coast. Our students were able to complete field trips for Geography, Science, Business and Commerce, as well as strenuous activities such as climbing Pigeon House Mountain and canoeing the Clyde River from Nelligen to Batemans Bay. One of the field trips was a visit to a dairy farm where all the cows are milked by robots! This is a new project in the Nowra district and an amazing application of current technology to agriculture.

CD-ROM of this document plus images obtained to date - 1 - - 2 - 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fish River Water Supply Scheme [FRWS] is a medium size but important water supply with the headwaters in the Central Highlands of NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range and to the south of Oberon. It supplies water in an area from Oberon, north to Portland, Mount Piper Power Station and beyond, and east, across the Great Dividing Range, to Wallerawang town, Wallerawang Power Station, Lithgow and the Upper Blue Mountains. It is the source of water for many small to medium communities, including Rydal, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Marrangaroo, as well as many rural properties through which its pipelines pass. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1945 as a Trading Undertaking of the NSW State Government. The FRWS had its origins as a result of the chronic water supply problems of the towns of Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland and Oberon from as early as 1937, which were exacerbated by the 1940-43 drought.

In a period of two weeks most of the southern section of the Reserve including the whole of the Kelly wilderness area was consumed. The long drought and hot summer eventually took its toll of the Reserve. We know from past experience that periodic fires are one of the natural forces which have shaped the Australian bush and helped to produce our distinctive flora. This realisation does not, however, lessen the shock in seeing the Reserve blackened and burnt, seemingly stripped of all life forms. With rain the Reserve will recover and the mountain slopes and plains will again; be covered in their distinctive trees, shrubs and wild-flowers. As we wait for nature to take its course let us use this opportunity to take stock of the problems facing the future management of the Reserve so that we can make a fresh approach to the solution of some of the problem areas. One of the questions which must be addressed fairly quickly is the future of the Gudgenby pine plantation; the fire largely destroyed this plantation and it probably now has little or no commercial value. The remains of the plantation should be removed and the area allowed to regenerate naturally.

Morphological variations in these forms, and in the closely allied Egernia strialata (Peters), are tabulated.
