Hi Everyone, the BPACS April outing is to Alma Park Zoo, followed by a visit to Rob’s Rare Palms. The outing will kick off at 10:00 am (22/4/12) at Alma Park Zoo, 18 Alma Rd, Dakabin. Meet in the car park. We have organised a group discount, so the admission will be $30. We were hoping for a larger discount, but that was the best they would give us...

He transplanted many mature palms to help form the rainforest canopy of the zoo. Some palms within the zoo originate from Brisbane and are over 100 years old. T…
