21 Aug, Fri 5:30PM				Toward achieving ‘peaceful co-existence’ with fire
					Branch
General Community Event
The forested regions of eastern Australia have experienced the largest fire season in their recorded history, resulting in significant human and economic losses and major impacts on environmental processes and biodiversity. Scientific knowledge can potentially help us to understand how, when and why fire seasons, such as 2019/20, occur and how to better deal with them to meet the future challenges of a rapidly changing world.

22 Aug, Sat 8:00AM				Jews Creek – Baal Bone Point – Pantoneys Crown
Grade:4/6		Length	11km	300m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Pantoneys Crown is an isolated flat-topped Mesa rising from the floor of the Capertee Valley, the worlds second-largest canyon and for this my 20th visit to the crown i'm going via a very spectacular route right along the spine of the great diving range to Baal Bone Point. From this lofty vantage point, we descend someway to the valley below before the not too difficult climb up the southern end of Pantoneys to the top via a large slot. Once on top we can explore the pagodas and have lunch before retracing our steps back to the cars. Rock scrambling and off-track walking Location: capertee Map: Ben Bullen 89314S Limit: 10. View
