Our AGM was well attended as usual. The formal business was dealt with quickly and we got onto the highlight of the evening -
"Macquarie Island and the Sub-Antarctic Islands of New Zealand
- and the adventure there and back"
presented by Linda Oliver. The heat of Queensland was forgotten as we became engrossed in the landscape and wildlife of these remote and blizzard-swept islands. We were amazed at how close she could get to the penguins, albatross, and parrots (Yes, parrots in the Antarctic!)

This was followed by a brief account by Keith McCosh of a project highlighting the once vast Rosewood Scrub to our north.

P.S. The usual gang was re-elected except for a Secretary, Linda resigning from that position. However a replacement has stepped forward since the AGM!
