Aussie Backyard Bird Count 2017: Take part from 23 - 29 October - how many birds live here?
Aussie Backyard Bird Count 2018 - Our Annual 'What Bird Is That?' Week Is Here! - This week the annual Aussie Backyard Bird Count runs from 22-28 October 2018. Pittwater is one of those places fortunate to have birds that thrive because of an Aquatic environment, a tall treed Bush environment and areas set aside for those that dwell closer to the ground, in a sand, scrub or earth environment. To take part all you need is 20 minutes and your favourite outdoor space. Head to the website and register as a Counter today! And if you're a teacher, check out BirdLife Australia's Bird Count curriculum-based lesson plans to get your students (or the whole school!) involved

Inaugural World Bee Day - May 20th 2018: Local Knowledge Available on Native Bees and the Northern Beaches Beekeepers Club - World Bee Day was declared by the UN General Assembly in December last year to raise awareness of the importance of bees and apicultural products; which is pretty much everything we eat. The First World Bee Day will be celebrated around the world on May 20th and in Australia with Canberra hosting some great events which are sure to spread nation wide in coming years. Slovenia proposed the celebration of World Bee Day in the month of May, when bees in the northern hemisphere are most active – here such activity takes place during September although you can do things right now to ensure a future for our bees.

And that’s what we’re facing in many locations as the climate continues to change.”

Dorothy Hawkins - a new film by John Illingsworth Dorothy Hawkins' family ran a dairy near Winnererremy Bay at Mona Vale from 1936. Mona Street is in the foreground of the painting shown in the film, Bassett Street with the ocean beyond in the far distance. Brock’s Folly (La Corniche) is on the hill to the right of the ocean. Dorothy, still 14, lived in this house and worked in these fields. Her father, Joseph Homer, later purchased all the land seen here bounded by Bassett and Mona Streets, including the buildings on the hill. 98 year old Dorothy’s story as told here is a case study of a young woman living a semi-rural life at Mona Vale prior to WWII through to the late 1960s.

Grevillea Caleyi Project Secures Funding For Another Five Years At Ingleside But Needs More Bushcare Volunteers by Miranda Korzy
Mona Vale Dunes Bushcare and Avalon Dunes Bushcare: after the sand mining of the 1960's and 1970's at these locations, volunteers have gradually reduced invasive weeds and enabled local wildlife to come into these reserves. They're calling for more hands to make lighter work and you can turn once a month or once every second month for an hour or two to help restore and protect these vital natural buffers and places where the fauna and flora of Pittwater may live.
Saving Grevillea Caleyi: Baha’i Temple Bushcare Group George Caley wrote in his 'An Account of a Journey to the Sea in the month of February 1805', of the plants discovered along his route. According to his diary, Caley set out from Macarthur’s farm at Pennant Hills on Monday February 18th 1805. He headed east northeast. As he approached the coast, the date not precisely recorded, he collected near a place he called ‘Seasight Hill’, later established as near Belrose, a Grevillea to which he gave the name ‘E. [Embothrium] pinnatum’. Robert Brown, considered ‘the father of Australian botany’, had a great admiration for Caley and had collected with him while in Australia. In an 1830 published paper Brown named a plant Grevillea caleyi in his honour.
At Ingleside and in some areas surrounding Grevillea caleyi is still present although it is now listed as a critically endangered species in New South Wales and at the Commonwealth level (gazetted May 30th, 2014).
The Pittwater Natural Heritage Association is coordinating a project funded by Greater Sydney Local Land Services and the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage Saving Our Species program. The next volunteer bushcare day will be on Monday the 27th of May, 2019. New volunteers are always welcome and needed - training will be provided. Volunteers meet at the picnic shelter at 8.30 am. Some background on the Baha'i Temple Grevillea Caleyi Bushcare program.
Mona Vale Road East Upgrade: Some Progress Photos - May 2019 Record
Restoring Sydney Freshwater Wetlands, near Careel Bay - This project, commenced in 2018, has removed weeds and installed a habitat corridor from the bay to the creek. The last Field Day was Saturday May 25th, when a Buff Banded Rail, the first one seen here ever, was spotted. Volunteers are still needed for maintenance and weeding along the creek - a great way for Duke of Edinburgh Award students to contribute a few hours once a month and actually get to see the changes they have made grow!

History pages - Surfing:
Early Pittwater Surfers – Palm Beach I: John (Jack) Ralston and Nora McAuliffe - founding member of Palm Beach SLSC, the man who went out in the surf to save people in 1920
Early Pittwater Surfers – Palm Beach I: Alrema Becke Queen of Palm Beach - daughter of George Lewis Becke, famous South Seas trader and writer 'Louis Becke', who possibly surfed in Samoa, in 1908, before surfing here. Known as the best woman surfer in the state, then the Champion of Woman surfers in Australia, this lady organised numerous events to fund Palm Beach SLSC - so much so that they honoured her works
Early Pittwater Surfers: Avalon Beach I - 1956: The Carnival That Introduced The Malibu Surfboard And Being Able To Surf Across A Wave Face - In autumn 2014 a report on the Arrival Of The Mal - 1956 Surf Boards, the Avalon Beach Historical Society Meeting with speakers David Lyall and Bob Head, who witnessed a revolution in riding waves here, recorded the introduction of the Mal. Through Roger Sayers and courtesy of Reg Wood, an insight into that 1956 Avalon Beach SLSC carnival adds more to that record of how seeking to highlight the great work of surf lifesaving in conjunction with the Melbourne Olympics brought with it a giant wave of a surfing change
Arrival of the Mal - 1956 Surf Boards: the Avalon Beach Historical Society held a special meeting with Talks given by David Lyall and Bob Head providing some great insights into the ‘Arrival of the Mal’ or Malibu surfboards in Pittwater.

Australia Day in Pittwater 2019
Women In Local Government: This Wednesday, March 6th, the 2019 Pittwater Woman of the Year will be announced by Rob Stokes, Member for Pittwater, at the annual breakfast hosted by the Zonta Club of the Northern Beaches at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club. On Friday March 8th Council, where 7 of the 15 elected councillors are women, will hold their own celebration at Manly. The International Women's Day 2019 campaign theme of 'Balance for Better' is a call-to-action for driving gender balance across the world. The 2019 IWD theme mirrors that of the vision long held by the national Australian Local Government Women’s Association (ALGWA) - a 50:50 Vision - A National Program for Gender Equity in Local Government. This week a Tribute and Celebration to Beverley Job MBE, first woman on Warringah and Deputy President, Jean Hay AM first Female to serve as Mayoress and then Mayor of Manly and longest serving Cr. on Manly Council, Joan Thorburn first Female Mayor of Manly, Patricia Giles OAM, first Female Mayor of Pittwater, Julie Sutton first Female Mayor of Warringah, as well as some of the women that have served or continue to serve still - there have been and still are quite a few!
Profile 2019 Pittwater Women of the Year: Zonta Club of Northern Beaches: Chartered in 1975 the Zonta Club of the Northern Beaches brings together the intelligence, energy and acumen of some of our great women. With members who are professionals in academia, nursing, accounting, the law, small business, book editing, information technology, music, optometry, economics, administration, medicine, art, fitness and real estate, the range of knowledge and experience represents the infrastructure of community itself. Pittwater ladies Dorothea Mackellar and her best friend and frequent visitor Ruth Bedford were among those to establish a Zonta Club in Sydney during the 1920's and although this had to be re-established a few decades later, women supporting women has long been part of the Australian ethos.
Volunteer members of the Zonta Club of Northern Beaches were today acknowledged as the first ever joint-recipients of the Pittwater Woman of the Year award.

Twenty thousand people made the long journey to Hyde Park, mostly by foot, to protest the assassination attempt. Community relief after Prince Alfred survived saw large sums donated to establish a hospital in his name – the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital opened in 1882. In 2015 Pittwater Online ran a history page; The First Royal Visitor To Australia: The Incident At Clontarf March 12th, 1868 - with so many Pittwater connections in the RPAYC and subsequent Royal Visitors visiting the estuary, a timely glance at this Monday, 150 years ago, is available at the above link

What was the first conversation that eventuated in a yacht being built in the canteen at Pittwater High School?
It’d have to be the 1968 Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. At the time, Harold Vaughan, whom I used to sail with on his Diamond which was called ‘Saltash’. We were halfway across Bass Strait in the yacht “Shimaal”, in quite a storm, and Harold said, “Well, how would you like to build a Diamond at the school?”.
I said “Oh, that’d be great Harold.” Then forgot about it.
I thought maybe, with the storm and all, it’d got to him. But Harold at the time was President of the Australian Diamond Association.

Local History buffs will be interested to hear about Margot's findings about the Macpherson photographic collection which confirm that these images were taken over a much longer time frame than first thought - from 1875 through to the 1930s - and that there were actually several photographers in the Macpherson Family - not just William Joseph.
