FRIENDS OF BUCHAN CAVES
NEWS LETTER SEPTEMBER 2007G’day Friends

Great news – The interpretation sign for Wilson’s Reserve has finally been finished. The roof was fitted and all woodwork painting was done. It is now fitted into the shelter.

Grants Last May/June FOBC applied for a grant to continue the wiring and conduting of Federal cave lights, prior to Parks continuing with the concreting of the path. There is about 100 metres of path conreting remaining, and hand rails to be repaired. Plenty of work for all FOBC members.

Working Bee Program for 27th and 28th of October
Empty the donations from Royal and Fairy caves.
Check on FOBC boards in Royal and Fairy caves, repair if necessary.
Check on condition of information boards at Potholes and Wilson’s.
The major job is to continue the wiring and conduting in Federal cave.
