Beerwah Writers Group
Contributed by Shirley Moore At the well attended meeting of the Beerwah Writers Group, facilitator Paul Stevens welcomed two representatives from Glasshouse Primary School: teacher Joanne Sharpe and teacher / librarian Wayne Black. They discussed with members the possibility of a select group of children aged from six to 12 having access to Beerwah Writers Group to inspire the children to write and encourage them to form a Writers Club at the School. Members showed enthusiasm for the project and discussed the possibility of two members visiting the school. Wil treated us to an informative talk on the importance of correct story presentation suitable for publishing, which is often overlooked by writers. Wil has much experience in this field and also in IT. A few copies of our successful children's book ‘The Witches of the Hinterland’ remain and are available from the Beerwah News Agency. BWG meets every second and fourth Friday at the Beerwah Library.

Heritage counts
Last month I had the opportunity to go to Mundubbera for a few days to help with the disaster recovery. I went there through a local church contact and had a great experience. On arrival I drove around to get a feel for the impact of the flood waters. The river had appeared to have widened its banks, so many trees flattened; fences and buildings plastered with debris. The low-lying parts of the town bore the signs of having been flooded with mud marks and ruined furniture and household things on the side of the road. But, what impressed me was the spirit of the people. In shops and the bakery people talked of what needed to be done to recover. There were many people distressed, particularly when they had lost nearly everything but there were those providing support and encouragement. For the first couple of days I was put to work in orchards bordering the Burnett River. Here, one was able to see the extent of damage and the effect on the local economy. A dead pig hanging in a tree, one of the many swept away by the floods; the carcases of cattle lying where the flood had dumped them; fruit trees torn out by the roots and others with smashed branches and GLASSHOUSE COUNTRY

covered with debris. Another day I was helping to replace fencing torn away by the floodwaters. The old fencing was too tangled by debris to be unusable. People were coming in from all over to help. They turned up in their campervans and with their tents, prepared to sleep anywhere and put up with the lack of comfort that they would be used to at home. What is it that drives people to help their neighbours? Is it an inbuilt trait of humanity? No, there are cultures that would not do that. It is more to do with our culture which comes out of our Christian heritage and the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. When disaster strikes in this country we need to give thanks to God for that heritage which will bring others to our aid.
