General Community Event
Yuri Bolotin is organising another clean-up day - this one is in Bilpin, the village where they live, for the Wollemi Wilderness Cabins. This place, one of Bilpin's tourist attractions, has sustained extensive damage during the fires, with most of its grounds severely burnt. We are trying to help them to restore as quickly as possible, to bring people back to Bilpin and to the rest of the Blue Mountains. You are invited to join Yuri to spend a day as a volunteer to help clean up after the fires. There is much to do and only very limited resources. We will be guided by Lionel Buckett, who runs the Wollemi Wilderness Cabins. No special skills are required. You need to bring a good spirit, an open mind and a pair of hands. Note this is not a club activity. Everyone volunteers on their own accord. Please let Yuri know if you would like to join him, and he will get back to you with the logistics. You can see Lionel's place here, before the fires: www.wollemicabins.com.au View

1 Feb, Sat				Kayaking Port Davey/Bathurst Harbour
					Branch
jcrocker
Expressions of interest are sought for a kayaking trip of about a week's duration in Port Davey/Bathurst Harbour in SW Tasmania for February or March 2020. The plan would be to fly from Hobart to Melaleuca, and a folding kayak, suitable for air transport, would be an advantage. It is possible to take a conventional kayak into Port Davey on a charter boat, but the trip around the southern capes of Tasmania is recommended only for those with good sea legs. A number of shops in Australia sell folding kayaks, and hire arrangements may be possible. Once there, the plan would be to explore as much of the area as the weather conditions permit. February and March are the least windy months, but very strong winds may occur at any time. However, the area has many sheltered inlets and it should usually be possible to find some protected water to paddle. View
