The presentat ion will explore how microbiologists plan and conduct fieldwork in these s ubterranean systems. From organizing equipment and sampling designs to con ducting DNA analyses\, Nayeli will share her fieldwork experiences and exp lain how these efforts help uncover the invisible yet vital microbial comm unities thriving in caves. The talk will cover practical aspects of expedi tion planning\, environmental measurements\, and (a little bit) the ecolog ical significance of these microorganisms in hidden underground ecosystems .\n\nM. Nayeli Luis-Vargas is a PhD candidate at La Trobe University\, whe re she studies microbial ecology in extreme environments. Her research foc uses on the biogeochemical roles of microbial communities in Australian ca ves\, particularly how these microorganisms can impact surface systems.

Some may be aware that Homeleigh suffered an invasion of rats over the winter months and as such we need to focus our attention on bringing the kitchen back to a hygienic standard. We need to scrub the walls from ceiling to floor\, behind the stoves and fridges\, in the ovens and cupbo ards and clean the ceiling fans. While in the cupboards we need to fix a leaking tap under the kitchen sink. The usual spider web clean up inside and out needs to take place.\n\nIf you have been to Homeleigh lately you will notice our won-derful hedge is taking over the driveway and needs to have a gentle trim! In order to simplify our yard maintenance it is inte nded to remove a number of old boundary fence posts that have been long abandoned. This will reduce the effort required to mow the grass. Speakin g of mowing...we need to get into the bottom corners of the garden with o ur newly modified and improved brushcutter and knock down the weeds and g rass.\n\nThe plastering program is ongoing with works continuing in the p assageways. Room 15 has been slowly transformed into a fine abode with so me finishing touches required in the painting department.\n\nSo there is p lenty of work for all skill levels. If you have not been to Homeleigh for a while this is a great chance to come along and check out the amazing t ransformation that is taking place. For those new on the Rimstone scene  you may be surprised at how social these working bee’s can be. It is a great atmosphere to be able to pick the brains of some of those old time cavers in a relaxed environment. You never know what you may learn! Of c ourse the objective is to tick off a few jobs but there is no need to bus t one’s boiler. If you haven’t been toa working bee for a while maybe this is your chance to catch up on what you have missed out on!\n\nIf you intend to join the working party could you please notify Paul Brooker (p aul@pitchblack.com.au or phone 0418384245) and don’t forget to book som e accommodation (accomm@rimstone.or.au) LOCATION:Homeleigh - Buchan\, 15 Gelantipy Rd\, Buchan\, Victoria\, 3885\, Australia GEO:-37.493782;148.173386 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=15 Gelantipy Rd\, Buchan\, Victoria\, 3885\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Homeleigh - Buchan: geo:-37.493782,148.173386 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:3-91@caving.org.au DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20121027T080000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20121028T230000 DTSTAMP:20121004T022607Z URL:https://fobc.org.au/event-new/scrubby-creek-property-launch-and-bbq/ SUMMARY:Scrubby Creek property launch and BBQ - Homeleigh - Buchan - 27 Oct 12 08:00 DESCRIPTION:The official celebration of the acquisition of the property.\nA ctivities will include Saturday morning visits to Scrubby Creek Cave [rest ricted trip as far as the sump] and walks \non the property to include the tufa terraces and downstream creek\, followed by a celebratory BBQ at Hom eleigh \nfrom 3 pm onwards. \nOffers of assistance welcome\; contact Nicho las White.
