 evening,

 noticed these groovy new newsgroups hanging off aus.environment
and went *wow* my gf is looking for a job in Australia in
environmental *something* (presently she's a palaeontologist at
UNSW) "I wonder if there is anyone out there".

 so what are these newsgroups for? discussion of environmental
issues? I know that my gf would be very interested in being able
to communicate with people in her field on the net and perhaps
even establish relationships which would see her moving into
fields she is interested in like geographical ecology thru
to continuing her work in palaeontology.

 something to tempt discussion:

 "so why doesnt new zealand have the fossil record of animals which
appear in the australian fossil record around the time the australia
was attatched to new zealand?"

 and 

 "how large an area is needed to sustain the extinction/evolution
cycle of australian native plants and animals? are our rainforests
large enough?"
