1 APRIL UPDATE ON THE CONFERENCE VENUE: Australian Institute of Sport Bruce, ACT PRE-CONFERENCE FIELD TRIP: NSW SOUTH COAST Leaving Monday 9 November and returning on Friday 13 November The trip will take you from the tablelands of the ACT down the escarpment of the Great Dividing Range to the South Coast of NSW. We will see a range of ecosystems, including wet and dry sclerophyll forests, rainforest and heathland, taking in the South East Corner and Sydney Basin bioregions. The five days will include visits to national parks and reserves, and private and public gardens in the Eurobodalla and Shoalhaven areas. There will be a number of short walks requiring a basic level of fitness, and spectacular scenery over around 200km of coastline stretching from Narooma in the south to Jervis Bay in the north. Our botanical guide will be John Knight, an expert on the flora of the region and former manager and head horticulturalist at the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens for 20 years until John s contribution to the knowledge of Australian plants in the course of a notable professional career in the natural science field spanning 30 years was recognised in 2005 with an Australian Plants Award in the professional category. Accommodation will be at motels in Batemans Bay and Mollymook. The cost of the trip will cover accommodation, bus travel and most lunches and morning/ afternoon teas. All dinners and some lunches are at own expense. Itinerary DAY ONE Leave Canberra around morning tea time and drive to historic Braidwood for lunch before continuing to the Monga National Park to view the waratahs along the Mongarlowe River (Telopea
2 mongaensis). Travel back in time on the Penance Grove boardwalk in a pocket of cool temperate rainforest featuring ancient plumwood trees which form a cathedral-like canopy over tree ferns. Cross Clyde Mountain and the Clyde River to reach Batemans Bay. Overnight at Batemans Bay. DAY TWO Travel south to spend the morning at Horse Island, an exceptional private garden near Bodalla, then visit Bodalla State Forest for a short walk through the mosses and ferns of grey myrtle rainforest. After a scenic picnic lunch at Narooma, visit the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens which grows and displays plants occurring naturally in the region, for a guided tour. Overnight at Batemans Bay. DAY THREE Visit Pebbly Beach in Murramurrang National Park, famous for its kangaroos and birdlife, to explore its pristine beach and flora, then travel further north to visit Old Blotchy, one of the largest spotted gums (Corymbia maculata) in NSW. In the afternoon, explore South Pacific Heathland Reserve, on the water s edge near Ulladulla, established to protect rare native flora and fauna. Here we will see an amazingly diverse heathland containing banksias, grevilleas, correas, isopogons, petrophiles, flannel flowers and so much more! Overnight at Mollymook. Grevillea macleayana DAY FOUR Spend the morning in the Little Forest area near the town of Milton. First, visit a private garden on the edge of the escarpment, then explore the flora of Little Forest Plateau up the top in Morton National Park, and enjoy the spectacular views along the coastline. We may see early examples of Christmas Bells (Blandfordia nobilis). In the afternoon, visit Jervis Bay. We will visit the location of a newly discovered species of banksia. After a scenic drive near Huskisson we will visit the gardens and museum at the Lady Denman Heritage complex. Around the Maritime Museum housing the Sydney ferry Lady Denman, built at Huskisson, are the Wirreecoo Wildflower Garden and the Keith Moore Habitat Garden. Both gardens display the diversity of flora in the area. The Mangrove Boardwalk seeks to impart an understanding of wetlands, mangrove swamps and the interaction between ocean and land environments. Overnight at Mollymook. Lambertia formosa
3 DAY FIVE Return to Canberra through the Morton National Park. The park is one of the largest in NSW, protecting a large area of the ranges inland from Nowra, and is largely a maze of dissected sandstone plateaux. Due to its size, it supports a wide range of plant communities, and a correspondingly diverse array of wildlife. The major river on the South Coast, the Shoalhaven, flows through the park, and the majority of creeks and rivers drain into it. We will drive along the Pigeon House Range viewing flora, lookouts, and the Bulee Gap pagoda rock formations. We will continue through Nerriga and Braidwood, stopping to look at rare grevilleas, before arriving back in Canberra at the AIS around 5pm Friday, ready for the pre-conference activities over the weekend. Petrophile pedunculata; Thysanotus juncifolius PRE-CONFERENCE ONE DAY EXCURSION: SATURDAY 14 NOVEMBER Ian Fraser will lead a one day excursion up into the Brindabella Range on the western edge of the ACT and into NSW. Travel will be on a small bus which takes you on minor roads into the heart of the Namadgi National Park in the ACT and the Bimberi Nature Reserve and Brindabella National Park in New South Wales. Ian will show a variety of habitats and wildflowers endemic to the region. Ian is a very experienced guide and has been awarded an Australian Plants Award in the Professional Category. It is an easy trip with a small amount of walking required. Lunch and drinks will be provided. This trip will be repeated on Saturday 21 November
