Come and hear her talk about the four days, three nights spent in the Tararuas, finding the bunks from the blown away Angle Knob hut and other adventures from the trip. The first night was in Jumbo hut, the second night in Powell hut and the third night in Totara Flats hut. |

| Thu 11th June Birding on the Sunshine Coast Chris Tuffley In July last year Chris spent three weeks on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, while attending the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad as a member of the Problem Selection Committee. The mathematics kept him pretty busy...but he took every opportunity to get out and bird and explore, managing visits to the Glass House Mountains and Noosa National Park. He observed over 80 species - 63 of them lifers - and got photos of over 60, as well as some field recordings too. Come along and see and hear all about it. |
