The August 2016 edition featured EK’s 20th anniversary celebrations at the Luggers in June with local musicians, which attracted a huge crowd. There were reports on an EK/SKIPA visit to Mornington Sanctuary 20 years on and our bumper Art Auction. The KNP informed us about their work monitoring Bilbies and Gouldian Finches, and we ran articles on Shorebirds, Cane Toads and Dinosaurs, winding up with Neil’s triumphal poem about the defeat of Parkinsonia on Anna Plains.
