May Monthly Meeting – Speaker: Kevin McCue “Sub-Antarctic Islands (part 2)”
2 May @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A talk by Kevin McCue about his return voyage north from Macquarie Island (Aus) to Bluff (NZ).
In a previous talk, Sonja and I embarked on a voyage south from the Bluff to Macquarie Island. This talk will take us back to Bluff via Campbell Island, the largest of New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic islands, and the romantically charged Antipodes and Bounty Islands, to the human-occupied Chatham Islands. The bird and marine life is stunning, in shear numbers too, but with beauty and diversity a la Galapagos. The albatross species alone would justify the expense of the trip, then add many more seabirds, seals, whales and weather.
Refreshments available from 7pm. Keep-cups encouraged. Non-members welcomed
Meeting starts at 7:30pm.
