-THE ART EXHIBITION.Report by Ainslie Morris.
 What a delightful showing of our artistic members' works of art we saw on Wednesday, 29th April! The underlying theme emerged more as the works were hung than as an intention of the organisers.

+Our Australian scenery was the theme. Paintings in oil and watercolour and crayon, all captured the essence of the bush, be it burnt yellow or cool canyon. The pottery and wood-turned articles and batik in a frog pattern all stirred images of our earthy bushland.
-turned articles and batik in a frog pattern all stirred images of our earthy bushland.
 The exhibitors were:
-VIVIEN SHEFFER, with her professional portraits and house drawings, as well as lovely watercolours and paintings in oil.
-JEFF RIGBY, also professional, whose drawings of the bush showed a family likeness to drawings by his parents, Alan and Enid.
-GRACE NOBLE, our oldest and most versatile artist, with her exquisite coloured woodcuts, silk- screen prints and quilted batik silk jackets.
-HELEN GRAY, whose character sketches were "The spitting image" - Digby was unmistakable.
-KATHLEEN GRAY, with pottery, smooth and glowing browns, and two ultramod pieces, as well as paintings.
-SUSAN GRAY, whose fabulous patchwork quilt of a Renaissance city on a hill has to be seen to be believed.
-ALAN PIKE' e- wood-turned bowls were lovely to feel.
-MORAG RYDER, who dismantled her cushions to bring the covers, handpainted with gorgeous butterflies, each taking 40 hours to paint. Her horses and landscapes. showed her versatility.
-RAY DARGAN, with several oil landscapes of warmth and beauty.
-NADEEN LOVELL, with four large oil landscapes of Australian and Scottish scenes.
-GEOF WAGG brought his delicate ceramic models of Lord of the Rings characters, which were duly labelled appropriately "The Treasurer" (holding a club and scowling), "Wet Sunday on the Kowmung" (three decrepit miserable crouched figures), and "Paddy's Latest Fashion" (figure in head to toe groundsheet/coat).
-Wine served in teacups and cheeses and biscuits on a silver tray added class to an outstanding exhibition. An annual event would allow us to see the work of other members as well as more by
-these same artists.

-SOCIAL  WEEKEND. by Wendy Aliano.
-JUNE 20-21 there will be a social weekend camp up near Mt. Wilson. The aim of the
-weekend is to encourage those not familiar with camping out to enjoy the pleasures of the bush and 'happy hour' etc. without the pain of carrying weekend packs far (2 km there and 2 km back) and the pressures of having to walk a long distance.
-Ben Esgate has kindly agreed to instructing us in bushcraft. Ben is a very experienced
-bushman and could teach all of us a thing or two. In tandem with this Don Finch has agreed
-to instructing us in the finer points of planning extended trips, including the difficult organisation of food parties.
-So come on all you closet weekend walkers and enjoy. Any problems with food or gear can be worked at if I get enough notice. Gear can be hired, if you know where. Car transport
-can be arranged, so please phone me five to seven days before the weekend (85 2067). For
-regular weekend walkers, there are offered the delights of a bludge weekend, with the opportunity
-to learn about long trips and where and how to go. Hope to see everyone there.

+Towards the end of April, 1770, Lieutenant James Cook and his famous passenger Joseph (not yet Sir Joseph) Banks sailed into Botany Bay. Banks was so impressed with the wealth of native flowering trees, shrubs and other plants that he named the place "Botany Bay". One of the flowering shrubs that he took specimens of, and later described back in England was later called after him, "Banksia".
-However, during early April this year, when on an easy day walk in the Royal National Park (not so far, really, from Botany Bay), several trees and shrubs of the various kinds of Banksia were seen, but Banksia serrate, whose flowering time is usually mid-summer, only had dead flower spikes on the many trees we saw. Banksia ericifolia was getting its large red- gold spikes (it flowers mostly in May), Banksia marginate was in full flower with its small yellow spikes, and a small shrub Banksia that used to be called lasplenifolial had many green spikes that will turn pale yellow when in full flower.
-How was it then, that in late April Joseph Banks saw Banksia serrate in such flower that he was impressed and took specimens? Were the seasons different, perhaps a cold, wet summer in Jan/Feb 1770? Was the vegetation so dense that the flowers were late? I don't know; perhaps some other bushwalker may know. But whichever Banksia, they are all impressive and a lasting tribute to a famous man.
