Genghiscon 2021 is open for business


Not that they seem to have told anyone, maybe they made an announcement on FB or something?

edit: At this time, though, the Paypal link to booking the accommodation at the college doesn’t work, click on the Submit Booking Request button instead of Make Payment and the college will email you a form to send back. Use the email address ON the form, not the one that sends it to you.

Be on the look out for the black and yellow peril!

Adopt-a-Trap https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/european-wasp/european-wasp-adopt-trap-initiative – free (except for the bait – raw white fish) easy to install, I’ve just done mine.

The people at the Department of Primary Industries seem almost pathetically grateful to
anyone taking an interest.

And seeing as W.A is the only place in the world that’s fought them off for so long,
we should take a stand.

No one wants to drink one of these things from their drink can, or get swarmed
going past a concealed nest of them. Or see them displace perfectly reasonable
endemic species.
