When I was in Melbourne recently, I visited the Royal Society of Victoria and there in the member's Reading Room was a copy of a recent publication from the Royal Society of Western Australia entitled:
Symposium on Kimberley Marine and Coastal Science
 This 420 page scientific treatise is the Proceedings of a joint RSWA/WAMSI Symposium held in May 2011 and covers topics as wide as heritage, geology, landscapes, beach and barrier systems, coastal vegetation, fish and marine ecosystems, ecology and conservation issues. |

I logged on to the computer on
Tuesday night to post a photo ofCadburyour kelpie dog who had just gone to heaven
after dogging me for 18 years, and was met by this email from Backroom Press Inc, a small publishing
company in Broome announcing the release of a new book abouttwo Kimberley Kelpies,Sid and Skipper, who go
mustering and face a dramatic challenge.
  I placed an order for 20 copies and they are proving popular.
If
you would like me to reserve you a copy or two for gifts for the New Year, [ |

Zebra Rock Gallery was visited by researchers from Cornell College, Iowa, USA who are researching stalagmites (Speleothem) from Western Australia for what they can tell us about tropical cyclones. It appears that the deposition of mud in the stalagmites is related to flooding of caves during tropical cyclones. The pattern of mud deposited can give information about the occurrence of tropical cyclones over time. Dr. Rhawn Denniston and two undergraduate students together with John Cugleyfrom the Cave Exploration Group, WA visited our workshop today and were assisted by |

Tamworth duome 'n' im Graham and Lanceare two professional musicians who have been around the music scene for many years. We are fortunate in having them perform at The Rock following their gigs at El Questro and Emma Gorge. The duo calls themselvesme 'n' im.The style of their music is quite varied within the genres ofCounty and also some rock (50'sthrough to the 70's), however the overall tempo and sets used can be varied on the run to "hold" the audience. So come on out on Thursday 18 August and enjoy a BBQ under the stars by the upper Ord while Graham and Lance keep you entertained with some great music. |

This weekend, Bruce is acting as a marshal for the 4-WD Tag-Along Tour being organized by Rotary Kununurra. As part of the social events, participants are asked to write a poem around a given word and then to recite the poem at the campsite on Saturday night. The prize is a vase crafted from 600-million year old Zebra Rock, donated by Zebra Rock Gallery. It promises to be a fun weekend bashing through savannah country in the Victoria River District just over the WA / NT border. |
