12 August 2013 – FOBIF AGM and Guest Speaker
Posted on 8 August, 2013 by Connecting Country
The Annual General Meeting of the Friends of the Box -Ironbark Forests (FOBIF) will be held at the Castlemaine Continuing Education Centre, Templeton Street, Castlemaine at 7.30 pm on Monday 12 August. Guest speaker, Ian O’Halloran, will speak on the land restoration project under way at Post Office Hill, Chewton. This fascinating 22 hectare site between the Post Office and the railway line is full of surprises, and the work of the Post Office Hill Action Group is a model for groups anywhere wanting to give a little corner of the planet a better chance.
Ian O’Halloran talks to the POHAG troops at Post Office Hill: the area is of interest geologically, and for its signs of Aboriginal and gold era history, as well as for a surprising wealth of plant species.
