It's the end of an era! The WA council (on the right) has been taking care of AAP since October 2018 and has now passed the torch to the new NSW council (on the left). The WA council wishes the best of luck to the NSW council and hope they will continue to make AAP great for all!

Last week saw the post-conference field trip to Geraldton and Kalbarri. Lots of fossils were found from a range of different stratum and everyone was happy.
