The last July meeting Monica Langfield from the Department of Primary Industries was the guest speaker.

Monica gave a most interesting presentation on her challenging trek of the Kokoda Trail.

This was an incredible task and the preparation for months in the lead up to such a challenging adventure , then complete every muddy, raining and slippery step of the way with heavy footwear and clothing is a master feat.

More than ever the realisation of the Australian Troops who fought in such treacherous conditions for our country Australia were so gallant and brave .

President Heather Kiely presented Monica with a gift of appreciation.

Thank you to member Helen Troy who provided a tasty pumpkin and pea and ham soup enjoyed by everyone.
