Warragul VIEW

-

Members and guests of Warragul VIEW welcomed Sharryn Marshall who gave a very entertaini­ng and interestin­g talk on her travels from the most southern tip of Africa up to the Arctic circle.

Sharryn showed some spectacula­r pictures of the scenery and wildlife on her travels. Travelling solo and without today's technology, such as a zoom lens, was a challenge- however well worth it, getting up close to some rather dangerous animals. The accommodat­ion was also an adventure- on one occasion staying in a hut at the top of a tree, which was only accessible by climbing a ladder.

Liz Rechsteine­r thanked Sharryn on behalf of the club.
