BBDHS Short Story Writing Competition
Local author Graham Calley recently sponsored a short story writing competition for Year 5 to 8 students from Boyup Brook District High School. Cash prizes were on offer for the top two storywriters from Year 5-6 and Year 7-8, with all entries to feature the theme of ‘Living in the Country’. Mr Calley was impressed with the students’ interpretation of the theme and the standard of the entries was very high. “From the level of imagery that was displayed in the ones I read, it was plain that those children had their imagination fired up. This is what I was looking for,” he commented. James Staniforth-Smith was awarded first place for Year 5/6 and Nicole Turner the runner-up. The Year 7/8 prize was won by Brooke Nield with Roreigh Curran-Jones the runner-up.

The Magic of Mushrooms
Nature and fungi enthusiast, Faye Arcaro presented a slideshow of her fungi findings to a full house at the CRC on July 11 before leading a field walk to the Boyup Brook Billabong to see what magic could be found....... and there was plenty! There has been so much interest in fungi since the workshop, that the Blackwood Basin Group has provided us with a link to an amazing resource to help you identify the fungi. Bougher, N. L. (2009). Fungi of the Perth Region and Beyond: A self-managed field book. Western Australian Naturalists’ Club (Inc.), Perth, Western Australia. This book appears as a PDF on the WA Naturalist Club website and can be reviewed as the whole book, or as sections. Also another good reference for Fungi is the FungiMap which has an interesting article about edible fungi. |
