Dear Friends
 
It is time to think about articles for Eucalypt again. Well, actually, it is past time because the next issue is due to come out in May. I am a bit sad that nobody has contacted me about counting birds in their backyard, but there is still time if you did do the Great Aussie Bird Count last year. Or if you would just like to write something about the birds you see in your Botanic Garden that would be excellent. And it is ages since we had anything from our associate members, so please let us know how you have been going in these difficult times. I look forward to getting lots of newsy articles from any Garden, here in Australia or overseas. Send them to eucalyptar@gmail.com. Keep it to 450words and include a picture or two.
Thanks,
Anne.

PS Deadline is ANZAC Day but please try to get things to me before then. I am going to Tassie early May so it will be  tight!
