Monday's meeting

Diane and Bill talked about their cross country tour of the US, from New York to Los Angeles. In Yellowstone NP they came across a couple of interesting critters, a brown bear and a grizzly bear. Of course, Bill had his camera ready:



Then John Rogers gave a presentation entitled "in the footsteps of Wallace". Alfred Wallace was a British explorer and naturalist and John's presentation covered some of the Indonesian islands that the explorer ventured into. The presentation primarily was of the Kai Islands which are part of the Maluku Islands and are scattered between Sulawesi, Timor and Papua.

Lovely white beaches, palm trees, crystal blue waters and plenty of fishing, walking and enjoying the company of the local natives. John has spent some time in the area over the years and this presentation was very interesting.

Next Meeting Monday 20 April

Hi Happy Travellers, Our first meeting for Term 2 will be held next Monday 20^th April at Logan North Library Springwood, 11am. 

John Rogers will be our first presenter with his topic “in the footsteps of Wallace”! Here are a couple of photos to whet your interest. John’s photos and story line on his travels are always very popular.

Then Diane and Bill take us on a cross country trip through the USA, from New York to Los Angeles.

What's going on here??? All will be revealed

Hope to see you all next week

Hi Everyone, as last Monday was my last time to be the convener of the Travel Group, I would like to say many, many thanks for all your wonderful photos and talks of around the world. What a pleasure it's been to see your trips. Thank you! I wish Michael and Carol all the best in keeping this friendly group going.

This is the earliest photo I have of the group, when we presented the library a brand new TV. Which Logan U3A make lots of use of. I'm NOT there but behind the camera.
