The next meeting is our Annual General Meeting. If you’d like to help the club to thrive, then please talk to the Committee about joining. Damo is stepping down from Vic President after a long, glorious reign, so selecting a new President is going to be very important. Are you interested in becoming Dear Leader? Again, contact the Committee and let us know. |

Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve Survey The main presentation for Friday 7th August 2009 will be an exciting and informative evening for all. Gary Moores and Kwai Chang Kum, ANGFAs version of the Leyland Brothers, will present the findings of a recent survey of the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. The Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve (SIWR) is located on Queensland’s Cape York Peninsula around 60 kilometres north-east of Weipa. The reserve is located on the former “Bertiehaugh” Pastoral Station and has been developed as a tribute to the life and conservation work of Australia’s Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. The reserve covers 135,000 hectares and is owned and managed by the Terri Irwin Family Trust as a strict nature reserve and in line with international conservation guidelines. Located predominantly within the rich species diversity Wenlock River Drainage, Gary, Kwai, Leo and Bob were able to catch and record over 40 species of fish representing 22 different families in 8 days. Three species were recorded for the first time in the system. Many of the waterways on the property have never been surveyed before including the recently discovered rainforest springs habitat. These springs are at the centre of an international campaign hoping to spare this unique environment from strip mining of bauxite. It is hoped the information Gary and Kwai recorded, together with that from experts from all fields will help to save the area from future mining damage.http://www.savestevesplace.com/ Like previous talks the presentation will be a visual feast of habitat, fish and reptile photographs as well as valuable scientific data.
DOORS OPEN 7:45pm, MEETING STARTS 8:15pm

The meeting for Friday night 5th June 2009 will be an exciting evening for all. Our guest speaker for our main talk is Dr. P. Andreas Svensson discussing the Australian desert goby Chlamydogobius eremius. Dr P Andreas Svensson is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Behavioural and Evolutionary Ecology in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University, VIC. Andreas Svensson has an interest in evolutionary based questions concerning animal behaviour in general and fish behaviour in particular. He uses mainly small fishes (gobies) as model organisms to understand phenomena like reproductive trade-offs, sexual signals and honest indicators of quality. We will hear tales from expeditions and information about his experiments. Everyone welcome! Look foward to seeing you all there. |
