back to Meetings

Field Day/Skemps Day - Sunday 26 May

We are fortunate to have Sarah Lloyd come to Skemps and talk more about the Slime Moulds. A great chance to get out on the tracks with Sarah and find some of these fascinating tiny forest dwellers.

BBQ at Bunnings - Saturday 6 April

Club is holding a fundraising BBQ at Bunnings - also a great chance to talk to members of the public about our club. If you can spare a couple of hours to assist with the BBQ, please contact secretary@lfnc.org.au for more information. Your support would be appreciated, even if only by purchasing a sausage.

Meeting/Field Trip/Social gathering - Tuesday 5 March

Members are invited to attend this event to be held at the Tamar Wetlands. Birdo Mr Ralph Cooper will be our guest and guide. We will wander out some of the way to the island, but definitely not the whole way.

Suitable for all - bring a folding chair if you think you may want to sit and rest.

Meeting time - 6pm to approx 8pm (come earlier with a picnic tea if you can. Those who wish it will be able to have a meeting over their meal).

Meet at the Wetland carpark. Do not wear bright clothing. Bring your own binoculars.

Prue will have enough updated bird lists from the Wetlands Centre for everyone. Please note - the Centre itself will be closed.

Field Trip - Friday 18 to Sunday 20 January - Ben Lomond

Members are invited to attend this two day field trip to Ben Lomond National Park where we will be staying at the Borrowdale Ski Chalet. Our host, Peter Warren, will have the chalet open by 10.00 am on the Friday for your arrival, with the weekend concluding on Sunday by 12 noon.

This is a very interesting place to visit with many walks varying in length and difficulty, great photographic opportunities of an unusual terrain and the wildflowers will hopefully be looking good at this time of year. If an overnight stay is not for you, come for the day and explore with other members.

Please contact Peter on 0409 685 835 if you would like to reserve a bed or need additional information. You will need to bring a sleeping bag or sheets and blankets, pillows and enough food and drink for your stay, the closest shop is approximately 50 kilometres away.

The cost of a day visit is $3.75 and an overnight stay is $11.25 per night. The temperature and weather can change quite quickly, so be prepared for the usual Tasmanian four seasons and don't forget your camera. As this visit is to a national park, all cars need to display a current Parks Pass.
