The Toodyay Naturalist Club’s (TNC) final meeting for the year last month was a special gathering in more ways than one. It was not only a chance to look back on the year’s activities and events but also an opportunity to celebrate former president Bob Frayne’s 90th Birthday.
As spring morphs into summer most wildflowers are starting to wane but not so the Feather Flower (Verticordia) species which are at their blooming best during late October into November.
The TNC recently released an extraordinary collection of member articles for Newsletter #47, covering everything from Rain Moths to an Antarctic voyage. The club also enjoyed a successful spring meeting and wildflower walk at the Ray Paynter Reserve and is planning an end-of-year celebration for Bibbulmun Track pioneer, Bob Frayne.
We celebrated a new co-patron and enjoyed a members’ night featuring spectacular East African wildlife photos and rare footage of the club’s 1974 efforts to clear the massive Salvinia infestation at Tomato Lake. The club also honours the legacy of Doug Blandford, whose geological expertise powered local conservation campaigns.
The club sadly announces the passing of our Co-Patron John Dell who has been an untiring supporter of the Toodyay Naturalists’ Club since the mid 1980s
