Wade leads tour to Eastern Australia You may not exactly be in the mood to blow $4625 right now but wait until we describe the Eastern Australia Botanical Tour from July 24 to August 19 and then sit back and think about it. The trip starts in the Cairns area of Northern Queensland where participants spend the first week exploring tropical rainforests, eucalyptus and man- grove forests, creeks, lakes and falls of the coastal areas and the Atherton Table- lands. Highlights will include the jungle- clad 1657 metre Mt. Bartle Frere, highest mountain in the area, Heron Island, acoral cay of the Great Barrier Reef renowned for its undersea life and sea-bird colonies, and Hinchinbrook Island, a mountainous continental island rich in plant and anim- al communities. Next stop is the Brisbane area and the. subtropical rainforests of Lamington National Park, known for their forests of southern beech, huge ancient cycads, and auaucaria conifers, and many interesting birds. The last part of the trip is centred on the Sydney area and the nearby Ru-Ring-Gai Chase and the Blue Mountains, a region of spectacular gorges and vistas anda rich and highly diversi- fied flora. The tour is designed for keen naturalists, and opportunities for nature photography will be almost unexcelled. Dr. Keith Wade, our resident botanist and na- turalist will lead the tour and Lab Sup- ervisor Lillian McDonnel will act as cour- ier. Registration deadline for this spec- tacular trip is May 28th, so don't sit back and think about it for too long. For more information, Joy Smith, local 325, is the person to consult.
