This year it’s Southern Group’s turn to host the annual get-together for all the groups of APST. Some of us recently spent a couple of days reconnoitring (thanks especially to Keith and Sib Corbett) and we are very happy with the areas we propose for the weekend.

You will discover hidden botanical gems of the Huon Valley and far south as we explore a variety of vegetation communities, from alpine to coastal environments, on a series of short and medium walks.

The venue for Friday and Saturday evening meals will be the Kermandie Hotel in Port Huon, which also provides accommodation.

We will need more helpers for the walks. Some of you can expect a tap on the shoulder but please don’t be backward in coming forward if you think you might be able to help. You don’t need deep botanical knowledge because there is sure to be plenty of that available; the role is more about helping coordinate the participants.
