IT could be said that every man and his dog turnedout for Tamborine Mountain’s Million Paws Walkon Sunday, ensuring the RSPCA’s fundraiser was ahowling success.Despite the early morning chill, hundreds of dog

lovers and their canine companions turned out toGeissmann Oval to enjoy all the fun of the carnivalatmosphere before setting out on either a two-kilometre or five-kilometre walk.There was all the fun of the fair with a jumping

castle, raffles and competitions for dogs and theirowners and educational displays by the Pets asTherapy group, Racing Queensland’s Greyhounds asPets (GAP) adoption group and charity greyhoundadoption agency Friends of the Hound.In addition to raising money for the RSPCA’s

rescue and rehoming of dogs, this year’s MillionPaws Walk on the Mountain aimed to raiseawareness of greyhounds as loyal and loving pets.And the stars of the day certainly shone, with

dozens of greyhounds, whether ex-racers or non-starters, winning hearts as they mingled with thecrowd.With 792 registered walkers participating, the

Mountain’s event alone raised more than $11,000 forthe RSPCA, to the delight of Giselle Longhurst-Kingand her team of volunteers.

For Jimboomba father and son team Tony and SamMarkwich, with their fox terrier Macca and IrishWolfhound cross Poly, Tamborine Mountain’s MillionPaws Walk takes some licking. Turn to page 4 to seehow other dogs and their owners enjoyed their bigday out.

IN the lead up to Macular DegenerationAwareness Week which runs from May26 to June 1, Nicky Carr, of TamborineMountain Optometrists, is remindingpeople over 50 to have their eyes tested andtheir macula checked.Macular degeneration is the leading cause

of blindness and vision loss in Australia.One in seven Australians over the age of 50shows some evidence of maculardegeneration, and in the absence ofprevention and treatment measures this isexpected to reach 1.7 million by 2030. Ita Buttrose, Australian of the Year and

Patron of the Macular Disease FoundationAustralia, is leading the fight againstmacular degeneration. “I was terribly upsetwhen my late father told me he had maculardegeneration. As a journalist and an author,dad always started the day reading a coupleof newspapers; suddenly this was no longerpossible. I couldn’t imagine not being ableto read again. Macular degeneration is adevastating disease,” said Ms Buttrose.The macula is the area of the retina that is

responsible for our central vision. Themacula is used when we are seeing finedetail, like reading or seeing features onpeople’s faces. The progressive destructionof the macula is a disease known asmacular degeneration.According to Nicky Carr, there are some

key ways the disease can be fought. Thefirst step is to have an eye test and maculacheck. Second, do not ignore any changes

in vision. Early detection can literally saveyour sight. People should contact theiroptometrist immediately if they have anysudden changes in their vision. CEO of the Macular Degeneration

Foundation Australia, Julie Heraghty saidmany people would be surprised to knowthe importance of diet and lifestyle inreducing the risk and progression ofmacular degeneration. “Smoking causes blindness, so don’t

smoke. Eat dark green leafy vegetables,fresh fruit and fish and take appropriatesupplements if required,” said Ms Heraghty.People should be aware of the symptoms

of macular degeneration which can includeone or more of the following:• difficulty with reading or any otheractivity with fine vision

• distortion where straight lines appearwavy or bent

• problem with distinguishing faces, and• appearance of dark patches or emptyspaces in the centre of your vision.Macular Degeneration Awareness Week

is a reminder to make an appointment tovisit your optometrist and to contact theMacular Disease Foundation Australia on1800 111 709 or visitwww.mdfoundation.com.au for a freeinformation kit and Amsler Grid (a grid ofhorizontal and vertical lines used to monitora person's central visual field).

Can you shed some lighton medal mystery?ALMOST 100 years after it was

awarded to a World War Oneveteran, one of his campaign medals hasturned up in a Tamborine Mountainbackyard.Tiffany, Erin and Liam Wooldridge

were playing near the back boundary oftheir Long Road home last month anduncovered what first appeared to be anold coin in the dirt.Their buried treasure turned out to be

a British War Medal, inscribed with theserial number 6394 Pte R Taylor 25 BNAIF.Realising it was a war medal, the children’s mother, Mandy,

contacted Phil Hunter, of the Tamborine Mountain RSL, whosesearch of the national archives revealed it was awarded to PrivateRichard Taylor of the 25th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force.The records show that Private Taylor, then a 20-year-old

labourer of Brisbane, had joined up at Enoggera in September1916.He was wounded in action in France in September 1918 and was

invalided back to Britain just two months before the end of thewar.The records also show that in addition to the British War Medal,

Pte Taylor was also issued with the Victory Medal, although itswhereabouts are as much a mystery as how its companion foundits way into a Tamborine Mountain backyard.The British War Medal was instituted by King George V to mark

the end of World War One.Its face features the King’s head, while the reverse depicts Saint

George on horseback trampling underfoot the shield of the CentralPowers and the skull and crossbones, which are both emblems ofdeath.Until it can be claimed by a family member or a descendent, Pte

Taylor’s British War Medal will remain with other memorabilia inthe Tamborine Mountain RSL’s collection.“It’s a real mystery and our hope is that someone will come

forward with information on Pte Taylor,” said Mr Hunter.“Did he live on the Mountain or was he a visitor, or did a

relative lose the medal?”

From left, Tiffany, Liam and Erin Wooldridge at the spot where theyuncovered the medal.

BEES are flying insects thathave adapted to feeding on

plant nectar and pollen and play avital role as pollinators. There areapproximately 20,000 species ofbees worldwide; they are diverseinsects living in every continentexcept Antarctica. Bees can be solitary or social.

Solitary female bees build nests for their eggsand feed their young with small amounts ofhoney. Most social bees live in relativelysmall unstructured groups while other speciessuch as honey bees live in huge highlystructured hierarchical colonies. Honey bee colonies may contain 100,000

insects consisting of one queen, a fewhundred drones (non-working male bees) andthousands of workers (hard-working sterilefemale bees). The queen hatches from afertilised egg and is fed a special food calledroyal jelly. Once she emerges from her pupashe fights any other queen in the colony, andthen takes flight, mates with a number ofmales and returns to the colony to settle downand lay 1500 eggs per day. She will onlyemerge again if the colony swarms to find anew location. Queens can live three to nineyears. All the worker bees are sisters – theyoung bees are house bees that work in thehive, the older bees are field bees that foragefor nectar, pollen and water. The workers livefrom one to a few months depending on theworkload.Bees have demonstrated surprising skill in

navigation, communication and learnedbehaviour. Honey bees forage up to 10kmaway from their colony flying in an irregularpattern in search of food and water. Once a

bee has located food it returns tothe hive in a straight line, andthen performs a dance to informthe other bees of the foodlocation. After observing thiscommunication these bees toocan also fly in a straight line tothe identified food source. Beesuse the sun as a fixed reference

point for navigation However, the sun is notconstant since time of day, seasons, andlatitudes affect the sun’s position in the skyand the bee is also moving in relation to thesun. It is believed that bees have both aninnate and learned understanding of solarnavigation. Recent observations ofbumblebees cutting holes in certain species offlowers to reach nectar confirmed their abilityto learn; young bees learned the techniquefrom other bees and would cut holes indifferent sides of the flower depending onwhich older bee the younger bees observed. Bees make honey from nectar, a sugary

mixture containing 80 per cent water, whichthey collect from flowers, then carry to thehive in a honey stomach which adds enzymesand protein. Once delivered, the nectar isconsumed and regurgitated by house beeswhich add further enzymes to the nectar. It isstored in honey combs and fanned by thebees’ wings to evaporate moisture. Eventuallythe honey thickens and contains about 20 percent water. It is estimated that one kilogramof honey requires 10 million bee visits toflowers to collect nectar.Bush walk – Saturday May 25 – Egg RockLyrebird Survey – Wed June 12, Thu June 13

BEAUDESERT Meals on Wheelsmanagement committee recently

hosted a morning tea for its TamborineMountain volunteers at TamborineMountain Community Care.President John Bartlett said the Mountain

volunteers did a wonderful job and themorning tea was a great opportunity foreveryone to get together in a relaxed

atmosphere and talk about their work.Among the volunteers who attended the

morning tea were (back row from left) IanWoodward, David Jeffrey, HarveyRuglen, Athol McDonald and JamesMcDonald, with Mr Bartlett; (front rowfrom left) Lenore Theile, Linda Ruglen,Glenys Kelly and Madelaine Jantos.

Ithought it would be a good time to remindreaders about renewing their driver’slicences, registrations, insurances and thelike, if they are falling due soon. In therecent past we have had cause to issuetraffic infringement notices to drivers whohave had recently expired licences andregistration or in more serious cases tosummons persons to court for drivingunlicensed, disqualified or SPERsuspended. Be careful if you drive a motor vehicle

whilst you are disqualified from driving asyou risk the very real chance of being jailedby a magistrate for this offence. LOTS OF QUESTIONS AT HIGHSCHOOL VISITLast week Senior Constable Guerin and I

were invited to attend the TamborineMountain State High School to speak with agroup of Year 11 students in their LegalStudies class. We very briefly spoke aboutthe Criminal Code Act, The Police Powersand Responsibilities Act, DomesticViolence, TORUM Act (Traffic) and TheDrugs Misuse Act. The students werehighly inquisitive about all aspects of thelaw and law enforcement and asked plentyof questions and listened intently. Beware,there might be a couple of future lawyers,barristers, prosecutors or police officers inthat class!

DON’T LEAVE PERSONAL ITEMS ONVIEW IN CARSWe have been informed by our local

Volunteers in Policing (VIPs) Garry andMarianne that during their patrols about theMountain they have noticed a large numberof vehicles being parked and left unattendedbut with personal items being left in plainview. For the most part the vehicles arelocked, but it only takes a thief a fewseconds to smash a window and grab thoseitems. Just a thought, hide those wallets,handbags, and laptop computers in the bootor, better still, take them with you.VISITING POLICE THE SAME AS USAs most readers will be aware, we at the

North Tamborine Police Station are not theonly police who work on this Mountain. Attimes police officers will attend theMountain from Canungra, Coomera, Nerangand Beaudesert. Sometimes the TrafficBranch is working on the Mountain and theyare in the business of road safety and issuingtickets if required. I don’t know anybodywho likes getting traffic tickets, summonsedor issued a notice to appear in court, and Idon’t expect that to change. However, I canask everybody to treat these officers fromother police divisions and units with respectand courtesy and extend to them every co-operation possible, as if you were dealingwith us. It’s just a matter of manners. Stay safe out there.

Tell Yourself the TruthDear Geoff,

I remember a time in my life when things were going allwrong, or perhaps, all things were going wrong ... take yourpick. However, I think I was quite clever in being able tofigure out that none of this was my doing. My dad would havehad a hand in it, and my mum, and you (my brother), as well asmy sister… and friends. Especially my close friends. Afterall, they were the ones who influenced me to do all the thingsthat got me into trouble. (You guys, if you are reading this,you know who you are!)

Oh yes, I almost forgot .... the government as well. Theywere officially out to make my life miserable with all theirlaws and powers. So as I got deeper into the swamp I hadanother clever idea. I would pull up stakes and leave myfamily and friends behind. I would leave their opinions,influences and presence and surely I would find the peacethat was mine by natural right.

Well, you can see where this is going. I did leave.Unencumbered by all of my negative influences, free to fly,free to be me, unshackled by the opinion and ignorance ofothers ... I crashed and burned. What a shock when Idiscovered, at least a glimpse, that my problem was me. Icouldn’t really leave myself behind.

Eventually I came across some literature that said, ‘for

all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God’. What?Moi? I didn’t like it one bit .... too harsh, too judgmental ...but too true. That was me. No doubt about it. You almostbreathe a sigh of relief when you finally get caught.

Someone had nailed my problem. But where to from here?That’s one of the terrors of realising your sin and guilt in thepresence of God. If God has no solution you’re dead in thewater. You know by now that you don’t have a solution, andneither does anybody else. That’s when the wonder begins ......‘if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and thetruth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful andjust and will forgive us our sins and purify us from allunrighteousness.’ (1 John 1:8-9).

God does have a ‘solution’. When speaking about his‘mission’ to this world, Jesus said, ‘For even the Son of Mandid not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life aransom for many.’ (Mark 10:45) What is the solution? ‘Thelamb of God who takes away the sin of the world’. What arewe to do in response to this? Face the truth about yourselfand confess your sins for ‘he is faithful and just and willforgive us our sins’.

Your Brother,Kim Advertisement.

Is snake charming in the job description?

TAMBORINE Mountain’s boys in blue are used to dealing withthe occasional snaky individual, or even the odd rogue reptile.So it was all in a day’s work for Senior Constables Brendan

Edwards (rear) and Steve Hargreaves who worked to extricate apython from a wad of fishing net.The snake had become entangled in netting intended to keep

possums out of the ceiling.“Join the Queensland Police Service for an exciting career with

many and varied roles to offer,” quipped Snr Const Edwards, whoreleased the snake into a local national park.


The Assessment ManagerDevelopment Assessment UnitScenic Rim Regional CouncilPO Box 25Beaudesert Qld 4285Dear Sir/Madam,

Please accept as a properly made submission this objection to the above application made for the following reasons:

Inconsistent use – The application is for an inconsistent use in the Village Residential Precinct of the TamborineMountain Zone and is out of character with the area. The use does not comply with specific outcomes for theTamborine Mountain Zone Code. There are insufficient grounds to justify an approval despite the conflicts with TheBeaudesert Planning Scheme 2007.

Amenity – The use is industrial and would unduly adversely affect the amenity and the marketability of the area.The development would detract from a pleasant living environment, the identified scenic amenity and the semirural character values of Tamborine Mountain. The use of large tankers to transport the water for most of thelength of the plateau means that the effects on amenity would be felt well beyond the area immediatelysurrounding the site.

• Heavy vehicle impacts – The haul route requires the use of Council and State-controlled roads. Councilroads are not constructed to withstand the constant impacts associated with the loaded tankers. The slowdescent of laden tankers on MacDonnell Road would regularly affect the amenity of other road users andis contrary to the expectation that slow movements would generally be associated with laden vehiclesascending the road.• Traffic impacts – The haul route passes two primary schools and two childcare centres and goes throughthe tourist area of Gallery Walk.

Community need – There is no economic or community need for this development on Tamborine Mountain. It haslittle to no benefit for the local community. The inclusion of a local use representing no more than 4.5% of theproposed total extraction is insufficient grounds for approval as that water could be sourced elsewhere.

Sustainability – The Ground Water Sustainability Report accompanying the application is based on numerousassumptions and recommends the drilling of a new bore and capping and filling of the existing bores in the event ofan approval. The rate of extraction could have a widespread effect in times of prolonged drought.

Intensity – The development is not at a scale, form or intensity which is intended for the precinct and is notconsistent with the reasonable expectations of residents of this precinct.

FURTHER COMMENTS (You are encouraged to write your own comment on how this development will affect you directly).

DISABLED CAR PARK AT TMSSI would like to add a few comments withreference to the statement from the Mayor oncar parking for the disabled at TamborineMountain State School.• The report, which was presented toCouncil, did not review in detail the totalnumber of car parks available for peoplewithout a disability.

If you have not read thebooklet “Prepare, Act, Survive” then I urge you to do so. Planningin advance is easy. Planning in crisis mode is difficult. The maincomponents to consider are:• Understand your own level of risk.• Will you leave early or stay?• Prepare yourself, your plan, your survival kit, your bushfirerelocation kit and your property

• Know your neighbourhood safe places (confirmation of thesewill appear in the next edition).

In addition, if you have an elderly neighbour, please take theminto consideration. During the last storm event, we had a numberof elderly residents who were ignored and only discovered by ourexcellent team of volunteers who conducted the door knock.For more information go to www.fire.qld.gov.au orwww.ruralfire.qld.gov.au or phone 1300 369 003.BOOK LIBRARY INFORMATION WEEKA collection of great activities will be held in libraries across theScenic Rim to celebrate Library Information Week, May 20 to 26.During the week, Scenic Rim libraries will launch a new bookreview program that will appeal to avid readers of all ages.

BUDGET 2013-14Council is currently working on thedevelopment of the budget for 2013-14. Forme, one of the disappointing aspects has beenthat funding from both the Federal and StateGovernment has been cut without notice,causing a sudden drop in Council revenue byat least $958,000. There may be soundeconomic reasons for both levels ofgovernment on either side of politics toreduce this funding; however, politicalmotives are also likely factors.The shifting of costs and responsibility to local government alsoshifts the political unpopularity of revenue raising and servicereduction from the other two tiers of government, as well as theunpredictability of sudden funding cuts to local government toimprove the financial credibility of the Federal and StateGovernments causes uncertainty and disruption to councils’ shortand long term financial planning and is hardly prudentconsidering the precarious financial health of many local councilsaround Australia. An economic planning viewpoint that stretchedbeyond producing a set of numbers for the next electoral cyclewould at least provide a greater degree of certainty for localgovernment.TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN LANDCARETML is celebrating 10 years of rainforest restoration on SundayMay 26 and is offering guided tours of several regeneration sitesto showcase the result of untold hours of volunteer work.

Christian unity event bringschurch members together

Tamborine Mountain’s Week for Christian Unity broughttogether members of the Anglican, Salvation Army,

Catholic and Liberty Baptist communities.The St John the Baptist Catholic Church on Beacon Road was

the host venue for this year’s ecumenical event, held lastWednesday.With the formalities of the morning over, there was a chance

for church representatives including (from left) the ReverendJim Stonier of the Anglican Church, June Grice, from theSalvation Army, Father Bernie Gallagher of the Catholiccommunity and Jeanette Tane of the Liberty Baptist Church tocatch up over a cuppa.


OUR mother, Mary O’Loghlin, whohas died aged 89, lived at North

Tamborine from 1989 to 2011. Life onthe Mountain – initially with herhusband Brian until his death in 2001– gave her the most fulfilling years ofher life.

Encouraged by her cousin Marjoriewho lived at Eagle Heights, Mary andBrian retired from Sydney to a newlybuilt house at Nicolet Drive. Maryturned her energies to the garden,determined to regenerate the old farmland to its original vegetation. Startingwith a grassy slope, Mary developed agarden of lush sub-tropical andrainforest shrubs and trees, mulchedfor better rainwater use and a havenfor native birds seeking shelter andfood. She also attracted the odd “fowl”result – invaded by brush turkeys whodug up the rich layer of compost intheir search for grubs and a nestingplace! To her friends and family whovisited her home over the years, theMountain was close to paradise.

Not only was Mary an energetic andconstant gardener, she was also astrong supporter of the local historyclub and the Zamia theatre, attendingmany film screenings and plays. Shewas in the front row when the newlyrestored theatre was opened in 2010.Her passion for literature andlanguage had led to a B.A. in EnglishLiterature achieved at the age of 64, soshe was delighted to be asked to writereviews of books and plays for thelocal paper and to help local school-

children learning to read. Beyond the Mountain, she attended

classical music concerts in Brisbane,events held by JASA (Jane AustenSociety of Australia) and lectures byADFAS (Association of AustralianDecorative and Fine Arts Societies) tosatisfy her life-long hunger for music,literature and the arts.

A prolific letter-writer (and latterlye-mailer) she kept in touch with a widenetwork of family and friends, andwas caring and conscientious in takingan interest in all their activities. Herstep-daughter once pronounced her“the best present-chooser”.

More recently, suffering fromscoliosis and arthritis which reducedthe scope of her activities, she departedthe Mountain for a home that wouldbe easier to manage. For her finalmonths she lived in Sandringham,Melbourne, where Phil and Rose haveenabled her to enjoy an independentlife, but with their close attendanceproviding peace, company andsecurity.

She is survived by us, 3 grand-daughters, 2 grandsons, and 2 great-grandsons, and also by Brian’s 3 sons,8 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren, who welcomed her intotheir hearts and have been particularlygenerous with their time and care sinceBrian’s death.

A memorial service will be held onthe Mountain at a date to be advised.

said individual grants from $2000 to$100,000 were available for projects liketree planting, run-off reduction and waterquality improvement, community andwaterway clean-ups, and habitatrestoration. He said: “Grants are open to a broad

range of community service organisationssuch as Parents and Citizens’ groups,Landcare, Coastcare, Bushcare,Rivercare, and conservation andenvironmental organisations.”Environment and Heritage Protection

Minister, Andrew Powell, said theGovernment had committed $12 millionover three years for communityenvironmental groups to tackle localconservation issues.In round one, the government awarded

74 organisations $3 million in funding forprojects that tackled environmentaldegradation, cleaned up localcommunities and waterways andprotected the State’s natural assets.Mr Krause said that Canungra State

Unwanted TVs and PCscan now be recycled

SCENIC Rim Council has expanded itsrange of recycling initiatives to

include e-waste disposal at four wastesites in the region.The glass, metals and plastics in older

model televisions and computers can allbe recycled. Council has installeddisposal cages at Beaudesert centrallandfill and waste transfer stations atTamborine Mountain, Boonah andCanungra.Mayor John Brent said the introduction

of e-waste recycling was timely given theimpending switchover to digital TV inSouth East Queensland.“Councils are expecting an influx of

unwanted TVs to waste sites when theanalogue television signal is switched offin South East Queensland at the end ofthis month,” Cr Brent said.Residents disposing of old TVs and

PCs can simply drop them in the markede-waste cages at waste sites.The new service is free to residents and

small businesses.


Afamily’s grief following the loss of alittle boy has been made a little easier

to bear, with members of the TamborineMountain and wider community bandingtogether to create a memorial garden forSamuel Pardoe-Matthews.A small army of tradespeople and

volunteers descended on the Pardoe-Matthews’ North Tamborine homerecently to perform one last labour of lovefor a little boy who touched so manyhearts during his battle with bone cancer.In this open letter, Samuel’s mother,

Jackie, writes of her deep gratitude for thekindness and generosity shown by somany people during his illness and sincehis passing:“It’s been two months now since our

middle boy Samuel left us, I’m not sure ifthat time has gone quickly or slowly. WhatI do know is that there is not a momentthat goes by that I do not think of ourprecious little man and how quicklycancer took him away from us. Our livesare moving forward. There is alwayssomething to do, work, school, dinner butthere is always that ache that will be thereno matter what we do. I am writing this tolet you know that I strongly believe thatthe ache is not as bad as it could havebeen. I believe we are so very lucky uphere in our mountain community, that youhave all taken some of that ache for us,shared our grief and been there for us inour time of great sadness.A year ago, Samuel had surgery, which

went smoothly, and was then followed byfive months of chemotherapy, which weended with an ‘end of chemo’ party anddrawing of the raffle in October.Sadly, Samuel’s cancer, osteosarcoma

(bone cancer), was not to be beaten andrecurred aggressively in his thigh and hislungs. We were told Samuel had only amatter of months to live. How do you fill alife time of love into a few months? Well,

we set out to do just that! Again ourbeautiful community got behind us to helpus, so much love was poured into ourhome and Samuel was treated like a king. I would sincerely like to thank you all

again for helping our family through thistime. You are all such wonderful, beautifulpeople. There are just too many to listeach and every one of you and there arejust so many different and amazing wayswhich you have shown your support andkindness, but I want to send you all somelove in return.Samuel’s cheeky smile not only captured

the hearts of our wonderful community –others have been affected by our loss.Recently, many wonderful people cametogether to help us start a memorialgarden for Samuel. Kindhearted soulsfrom Master Builders came to our houseto help this happen, and again we areoverwhelmed with feelings of gratitude. I would sincerely like to thank Julie

from Master Builders, Marti fromiLandscape.com.au, Austral Masonry,Nuway Landscapes, Boyds BayLandscapes, Murray from Earthfleet,Dale from H2 Constructions, Haydn fromPrice-A-Plan, Owen from HillsConstructions, Glenn from Glenn RaineConstructions, Mick from ConstructionSkills Queensland, Don from AlderConstructions, Action Sheet Metal,Richard from Sunni Clothes Hoists &Letterboxes, Richard from AustralInsulation Gold Coast, Mitre 10Beaudesert, Bruce and Ken from Mitre 10Mount Tamborine, the Nucrush Group aswell as more than a dozen volunteers fromthe Mountain and friends and family whoprovided the much-needed support andlabour.We will miss Samuel every moment of

every day for the rest of our lives, but wewill never forget how this great Mountaincame together to help our family.”

THERE’S autumnal elation among birdobservers on the Mountain when

migratory Eastern Spinebills (top left)arrive. The distinctive “flip-flop” of theirwings may be noted before their high-pitched staccato piping calls. A recent meeting heard how bird

monitors, Ros and Jim Inglis, havewelcomed returning Rufous and GreyFantails (below left and rightrespectively) and Rose Robins, GlossyBlack-Cockatoos and a Brown Goshawk.Seasonal Golden Whistler voices and

Striated Pardalotes (bottom left) havefeatured in Pat Stockwell’s regular checkson the slopes near the Beacon Lookout.Susan Cantrell has been puzzled by the

frequent absence of responses from maleWhipbird mates (top right) – many of the“explosive cracks” have beenunanswered.Other members have been travelling.

Terri Taylor, beach combing on MoretonBay flats, recorded a Pacific Golden

Plover in a list of waders.Elizabeth and Mike Russell noticed the

plethora of parrots in Canberra and foundthem numerous on returning home. Fan-tailed Cuckoos have been very vocal.Gail Molson journeyed to Hamilton

Gum Moth – Opodiphthera fervida, garage wall, Eagle HeightsTHE wall seems to be an unpropitious place for this female to lay her eggs. The

species is endemic in Queensland. The moth is quite large with a wingspan of 8–9cm. Moths are among my most captivating and admired subjects because of theirvirtually infinite assemblage of shape, colour, marking, and texture; their vast range ofsize all contributing to an ineffable beauty. My aesthetic appreciation does not properlyinclude the underwing, which can impart a vibrant colour to an otherwise lacklustremoth, because it remains largely hidden from view.

SCENIC Rim Council is working withanimal welfare representatives and

disaster management groups to help ensurethe safety of livestock and pets during adisaster.Council recently hosted an RSPCA

workshop in Beaudesert focusing on themanagement of animals in disasters.The workshop was well-attended by

representatives from groups involved indecision-making in relation to animalwelfare, and disaster preparedness,planning, response and recovery.Division 2 Councillor, Nadia O’Carroll,

said the workshop enabled attendees todiscuss the lessons learned from previousevents and plan for future response efforts.It was also essential for households to

develop their own personal emergencyresponse plans.“Owners should consider how they

would manage their pets and livestock inthe event of a fire, flood or severe storm,keeping in mind most emergencyevacuation centres cannot accept animals,”said Cr O’Carroll.“Preparation is the key, as there is

usually no time to think in a disastersituation. Having a well thought-out planwill help ensure the wellbeing of your petsand minimise stress placed on animals andfamilies in the event of a disaster.”For further information on caring for pets

and livestock in natural disasters visit www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/residents/beprepared.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSEWHO TOOK UP THE BATTLEOn behalf of most of us concerned

residents, I would like to thank the smallgroup of extremely brave residents whotook on the battle to “Save Our Water”.I hear it cost them personally over

$250.000 which is a breathtaking amountto place on the line for the sake of us all.The wonderful thing is that they won

although there is an appeal. Thisfortunately sets a precedent for all thoseselling our water.Now, Council is able to say no to new

and existing applications to draw ourgroundwater for sale.I strongly urge residents to write or

phone your objections to Council,

especially if you have a bore and likeourselves, after 20 years of a healthysupply, have run bone dry – object.We kindly request Cr Nigel Waistell help

us with this. So, if like myself, you are toowar weary to fight this battle that has beenwon for us with the marvellous efforts of afew, pick up the phone and ring CrWaistell. Well done everyone. Thank youso much.Please support them trying to pay court

costs. Buy a ticket for the raffle of a fabnew car. Great Odds! Tax deductible!Kendall Real Estate is selling tickets (or,pop into Windswept and Interesting)

WATER TANKERSAn application for an industrial-sized

water extraction industry for Bateke Road,Mount Tamborine, has been lodged inCouncil. This is a similar situation whichwas faced by the residents of PowerParade. The application is for the extraction,

storage and transport off TamborineMountain of approximately 30,000,000litres per annum using tankers of 27,500litre capacity at a rate of 20 loads per weekand in addition approximately two loads of13,000 litres per week for local supplies.The proposed operating hours are 7am to6pm Monday to Friday.Currently three tankers of different

lengths are used. Each tanker has acapacity of approximately 27,500 litres.The largest is 16.2m. They are operatedby three different contracted drivers. Thereis a smaller, rigid vehicle for the 13,000litre local deliveries. As well as the mainroute, many of the tankers are using HenriRobert Drive and complaints are beingreceived by residents riding their brakesbehind slow moving tankers.A pro forma for convenience of residents

is set out on page 11.Pro formas have frequently been lightly

dismissed by some people so it washeartening to hear the last team of lawyers

appointed by Council in the Gillion casestate they understood their sound value.These pro formas are a very small

equivalent of the developer’s application.The developer pays experts to come upwith planning reasons why his or her goalof financial gain should be approved. Themountain community, in its quest for aparticular lifestyle, has learnt to rely oncompilation (by TMPA and others) offormal planning reasons important to themwhy a development should be refused.These are conflicts with the local planningscheme on which residents rely. Withoutthis small formal demand to be heard, thecommunity is regularly ignored. Nobodyhas ever pointed out that a developer,likewise, does not write his or her ownapplication. To help support the idea that people can

actually read and understand the content ofpro formas, please add some comments ofyour own in the space provided.Submissions can be posted or lodged at

the Council’s Customer Service Centre atthe library, North Tamborine, and can beeither an individual response or use the proforma (personalised with your owncomments).

STATE Member for Beaudesert, JonKrause, is relocating his electorate office

from Jimboomba to Beaudesert.From May 27 the relocated electorate

office will be at 91 Brisbane Street,Beaudesert. Mr Krause said: “The move to Beaudesert

provides easier access to the electorateoffice for many residents as Beaudesert isnow the central hub of the electorate,diverse as it is.

“Since the establishment of the electorateoffice at Jimboomba in the early 1990s,various boundary changes to the Beaudesertelectorate have occurred. Jimboomba in the1990s was a more central location than itnow is for residents of the electorate.”

Council approves new milk processing plant

COUNCIL has approved theapplication by Scenic Rim 4 Real

Milk to establish a new milk processingplant at Tamrookum, near Beaudesert.The development site has operated as a

dairy farm since the 1930s and ispresently stocked with about 220 cows.The project will involve the

construction of a 324m2 building adjacentto existing milking sheds to house a

processing and bottling facility.Approximately 6000 to 7000 litres of

milk are expected to be processed eachday before being trucked off site fordistribution.Planning and Development Committee

chair, Cr Jennifer Sanders, said theapplicant had also foreshadowed theestablishment of a tourism venture in thelonger term.

ROOFTOP SOLAR NOT CLEVER The Australian Government subsidies for

the rooftop solar scheme has cost taxpayersaround $3 billion as reported in TheAustralian newspaper in 2012. This has ledto an annual cost of around $300 perhousehold on the 90 per cent who cannotafford rooftop solar.Victoria’s Auditor-General showed that

large-scale solar power costs about 5.5times the price of coal and small-scalesolar costs a lot more.The part-time nature of solar means that

the baseload system [coal fired] runs lessefficiently but rarely less [energy wise] andas a result rooftop solar rarely makes anyactual CO2 savings.Our baseload power on the quietestnights is still 60 per cent of peak and solarcan’t provide any of that.Solar enthusiasts tell us that installed

national capacity is 2.5 giga watts fromover a million solar installations yet when

the sun goes down their capacity is zero.We could have produced the same powerfrom coal for probably an eighth of the costwith no more CO2 emissions and had itavailable 24/7.So what we have around the country are

a million useless solar panels that provide agood deal for their owners at everyoneelse’s expense but do nothing for CO2emissions.With policies like these it is just as well

the world has not warmed in the last 16years in spite of an exponential increase inhuman CO2 emissions.But it does make you realise howconfused some governments really areabout problem-solving and what basketcases some EU countries have becomelargely as a result of out-of-controlspending to try and fix what is most likelynot only a non-problem but probably asolution for our burgeoning population.

CREATION AND EVOLUTIONCreation scientist John Mackay spoke

recently on the Mountain with the aim torefute evolution. I have listened to some ofhis talks with Richard Dawkins on the netand learned he is a Young EarthCreationist, which is to say he takes theBible literally and believes the universe tobe roughly 6000 years old rather than 12billion, an age almost all other scientistsaccept. He dismisses all of Dawkins’attempts to provide evidence for the theoryof evolution with inverted accusations thathis atheism is just theology (which isbeside the point and betrays his agenda)and that he is unscientific while providingpseudo-evidence for his assertions.I wonder if Mr Mackay has ever

presented his evidence to real scientists

rather than lay audiences? I can’t findevidence that he has been published in anyreputable science journal or paper. Why ishe so afraid of evolution? Many biologistsrefuse to debate creationists on the groundthat it would be an insult to theirprofession, just as a geographer wouldn’tbother to debate a flat earther; such is theweight of evidence that has grown withevery year since the publication ofDarwin's famous book. The Creationists in the USA crudely tried

to re-brand it as Intelligent Design to haveit taught in schools and were rightlydefeated on the grounds that it was religionand not science. Similarly, Mr Mackayshouldn’t debase science in the aid of histheology.
