by Ben Best AUSTRALIA THE WORLD SCIENCE FICTION CONVENTION cryonics life-extension room parties. Weeks earlier I had made many e-mail arrangements with cryonicists for meeting including a gathering of Australian cryonicists at my room parties. Dealing with the organizers of AussieCon was difficult. Charles Taylor, who was in programming, was the only person who ever responded to any of my e-mail messages of all the people I tried to contact from e-mail addresses on the AussieCon website. After several exchanges I got Charles to put me on the Nanotechnology panel and to create a Y2K panel, of which I would be moderator. The Y2K panel took some arguing, but I convinced him that speculating about events in 100 days is similar to speculating about events in 100 years. (For my essays on the Y2K computer bug see the Computer section of my website.) It was Charlie who finally informed me that room parties were not allowed in the hotel where the events were being held and this was only after the hotel allowing parties was fully booked. It was not possible to contact the hotel directly since a booking agency was being used. Most of those at the booking agency were not very helpful either, but I finally found one helpful woman who put me on a waiting list. When she let me know of an available room from a cancellation, I took the room and sent her a personal money order for Aus$50 as a token of my appreciation. September 1st, 1999 disappeared from my life when I flew across the International Date Line (although I had a 40-hour September 12th on my return which could have been 43-hours had I not flown from Los Angeles to Toronto). In Melbourne, I shared the hotel room with Keith Lynch, who had also been my WorldCon roommate at Winnipeg, Glasgow & Los Angeles. Despite archiving CryoNet, receiving a Transport Training from Mike Darwin and more recently being President of the Life Extension Society in the Washington, DC area, Keith has still not signed-up with any cryonics organization and remains a "fellow traveler".

Unfortunately Queensland lacks a world class state zoo such as Melbourne or Taronga. I cannot see this being remidied in the future. Such a zoo would have to be in Brisbane (population and tourism numbers), fairly large in area and with excellent public transport access. There are two areas that come to mind, the Mt Cootha Botanical Gardens and the former Roma Street Goods Yard. Mount Cootha Zoological and Botanic Gardens has an excellent ring about it. Owned by the Brisbane City Council it is close to the city and has excellent existing a menities.The gardens are beautiful and animal exhibits could be easily incorporated. But this is not going to happen.

Kiwanis International - NZSP Division Two (Waikato) and Australia Division Six (Melbourne) Lisa's Trip Report A report on Lisa Woolerton's trip to Australia as part of the 1998 Kiwanis Australia - New Zealand Youth Exchange. Text and photograph by Lisa Woolerton Going to Australia has been one of the highlights of my life. I met many different people from all different backgrounds but mainly those people came from the big city that I was overawed by. To me, Melbourne is so far the biggest city I have ever seen, and is also the most exciting. I was given the opportunity to participate in activities such as visiting zoos, where I saw Australian Native Animals like the eagles, wombats, flying foxes, snakes and at the other zoo I saw bicens, buffalos, and rhinoceros. There was only one hiccup with my trip, I went when there was no gas available for showers, heaters or cooking. Never mind though, I still had a fantastic time. I arrived at the Melbourne Airport and was given a big warm welcome to Australia by Alan and Ivy Wren. I ate lunch with them and they took me to the place where I was to spend my first few nights in Australia. When I was staying with the McLennan family I was taken to the Queen Victoria Market, up the Rialto (which is a really tall building) from which we could see a lot of Melbourne, and the Healesville Sanctuary. This is where we saw the native animals such as the wombats and snakes (both of which I touched), and the eagles, platypus and flying foxes. We also visited the IMAX cinema (here there was a really big screen) and saw a documentary on The Elephant Kingdom. For dinner, my host family presented me with kangaroo meat and chicken sausages. I had never eaten these before so I was surprised that I liked them.

10. MCRC - Kawau Island Wallabies were shipped to new zealand in the late 1800s by new zealand s thengovernor is possiblethat in the 1960s, the wallabies were also shipped to australian zoos. http://www.newcastle.edu.au/discipline/biology/marsupialcrc/kawau.html

Kawau Island Wallabies "Extinct" wallabies alive, well and in New Zealand "These wallabies represent genetic stock that no longer exists in Australia" The remnants of a genetically distinct South Australian wallaby population considered extinct for nearly a century has been "rediscovered" by Marsupial CRC researchers – living as a pest in New Zealand. DNA sampling by Marsupial Cooperative Research Centre scientist Dr Andrea Taylor has established that an introduced colony of tammar wallabies living on Kawau Island, 55 kilometres north-east of Auckland, is almost certainly comprised of the descendants of a wallaby population that vanished from mainland South Australia in the early 1900s. "Prior to the turn of the century there were at least two morphologically-distinct populations of tammar wallaby living in South Australia," said Dr Taylor. "There's only one population left, on Kangaroo Island and two other islands where the Kangaroo Island wallabies were introduced. The sampling established that there was only a three per cent chance that the Kawau colony was founded from Kangaroo Island, which makes this New Zealand population quite precious. They represent genetic stock that no longer exists in Australia." The Kawau Island wallabies – known there as damas – were shipped to New Zealand in the late 1800s by New Zealand's then-governor, Sir George Grey, who took the post immediately after his governorship of South Australia. Grey bought the 2000 hectare island in 1862 and stocked it with reminders of his postings in Australia and South Africa, including zebra, antelope, kookaburras and tammar and parma wallabies. The wallabies flourished, to the extent that in the 1950s-60s they overran attempts to establish farms on the island.

NEW ZEALAND PARROTS Part I Their Present Status and Distribution by Martin Fingland © The New Zealand region contains a small but unique group of parrots that through a long period of isolation have developed specialised habits. This group have suffered greatly as a result of pressures brought about by the country's relatively recent human occupation - firstly Polynesians, followed by Europeans. Due to the destruction and modification of habitats and the introduction of predators and competitors, the parrots along with many other endemic New Zealand species, have disappeared from much of their former range. These species are now found in much reduced numbers or survive only as relict colonies in isolated areas such as small, predator-free islands. Few articles have been written concerning N.Z. parrots in Parrot Society of Australia News in the past, it therefore appears timely to relate the present situation, with the aim to increase awareness and appreciation for what are some of the most distinctive, specialised and, sadly, rarest parrots in the world. There are six native New Zealand parrot species , these being the Kakapo Kea Kaka Antipodes Island Parakeet ... Red-crowned Kakariki and Yellow-crowned Kakariki . The Kakariki species involve six N.Z. sub-species and a further four sub-species found outside the region, of which two are extinct. As there are only a few
