UPDATE #1, FLYING FOX COLONY, CLERMONT Isaac Regional Council advises that the western public access gate to Centenary Park has been partially closed as from:
Thursday, 26 September Until further notice Part of the park will be surrounded by temporary fencing that is being constructed to isolate a roost of up to 5,000 little red flying foxes that have recently arrived. The roost is away from residential backyards, in the trees on the south bank of Hoods Lagoon (corner of Capella and Lime streets). This site is considered a protected roost, under State legislation, as flying foxes have used this site for breeding and rearing young, this has impacted on the potential vegetation management. Considerations have been also made that with the trimming of the trees in the park this would then encourage flying foxes to venture into residential backyards. For the first time, community feedback which helped inform a Statement of Management Intent (SOMI) for managing flying foxes is now in action. The SOMI outlines the principle of ownership of land and where the responsibilities are on state, privately owned and Council land while acknowledging that all management actions undertaken at flying fox roosts would comply with prescribed methods. This are outlined in the Code of Practice – Ecologically Sustainable Management of Flying-fox Roosts and within the legislative frame work of the Nature Conservation Act 1992. Residents are reminded that it is against the law to harm or disturb a flying fox roost, and unplanned and unauthorised actions on flying fox roosts can impact on you, your neighbours and your community. This includes self-dispersing, destroying or modifying a tree once a roost is established. Disturbing flying foxes that are resting during the day stresses the flying foxes and can fragment the roost, causing more issues in the community. It increases their susceptibility to disease and reduces their ability to migrate on from townships. Council recommends that residents undertake proactive vegetation management at properties to deter flying foxes from camping in their backyards, before it happens. The best way to do this is to trim or remove potential camp trees, commonly mature mango, fig, or poinciana, little red flying foxes can also camp in eucalypts, palm and other trees. Visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/flying-foxes for comprehensive information on flying foxes. If you require further information please contact Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).
Gary Stevenson PSM Chief Executive Officer
FLYING FOXES AND CHILDREN Isaac Regional Council residents have observed flying foxes foraging and roosting in residential gardens and urban parks. Flying foxes play a vital role in ecosystem health. They forage on the fruit of native rainforests and vines as well as the nectar and pollen of native trees (particularly Eucalyptus, Melaleuca and Banksia species). As a consequence, flying foxes spread seed and pollen over long distances improving the health and diversity of native forests. Flying foxes are unique animals that may be of great interest to children. They are safe to observe from a distance but children should be encouraged to remain calm and quiet and at a safe distance whilst observing them. Three species of flying foxes are known to occur in the Isaac Regional Council area, the little-red flying fox (Pteropus scapulatus), the grey-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) and the black flying fox (Pteropus alecto). All are protected under state legislation and the grey-headed flying fox is protected under federal legislation. FLYING FOXES AND DISEASE Any native animal can carry disease or cause injury. Flying foxes are known to host Hendra virus and Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) although it is very unlikely that humans will catch these diseases from flying foxes. Parents and educators should teach children not to disturb or handle flying foxes. If people do not interact with flying foxes then the risk of infection with Hendra virus or ABLV is very low. Hendra Virus Flying foxes are hosts for Hendra virus which can be passed onto horses. These infections are rare and may result in the death of a horse.

Humans are only known to have been infected by Hendra virus via close contact with infected horses. There is no established link of the virus passing from flying foxes to humans directly. Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV) According to a Queensland Health report, studies indicate only 1% of bats in the wild carry ABLV. The reports state that sick or injured bats acting strangely are more likely to be affected by the virus (7%). As it is difficult to determine if an encountered bat has ABLV, it is safer to assume that it has and avoid contact with it. HANDLING FLYING FOXES Do not attempt to capture or handle any bat (even if they are sick or injured) unless: 1.
You are trained to handle wild animals/bats, AND
2. You are vaccinated against the ABLV WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE BEEN BITTEN OR SCRATCHED MY A FLYING FOX? Immediately wash the wound gently with soap and water for at least 5 minutes. Do not scrub the wound. Apply an antiseptic such as povidoneiodine, iodine tincture, aqueous iodine solution or alcohol (ethanol) after washing. If the exposure involves the person’s mucous membranes (eyes, nose or mouth), the area should be flushed thoroughly with water. Do not dispose of the flying fox as it will need to be tested for infection. Seek medical attention as soon as possible from your local doctor, your nearest public health unit or the 13 HEALTH information line (13 43 25 84).
FLYING FOXES AND CHILDREN IS IT POSSIBLE TO MOVE FLYING FOXES AWAY FROM A ROOST SITE OR FORAGING HABITAT? There are no permanent flying fox camps within the townships of the Isaac Regional Council. Little red flying foxes have established isolated temporary camps throughout the region but will eventually self-disperse. Flying fox roosts, camps and foraging habitat are protected in Queensland. It is illegal to attempt to disperse flying fox camps without the appropriate permit. Residents are reminded that activities that may result in the disturbance of a roosting flying fox camp or individual flying fox can result in prosecution under the Nature Conservation Act 1994. Such activities may include whipper snipping or mowing under a flying fox camp where they are carried out deliberately and excessively with the intention of driving the flying foxes away. Attempting to relocate a flying fox camp is complex and the stress caused to flying foxes is likely to result in: •
the camp remaining in place for a longer period of time than normal
•
the formation of splinter colonies (spreading the flying foxes over a greater area)
•
increased levels of stress-related disease within the camp/roost
•
erratic and unusual behaviour that increases the potential of human flying fox contact

HOW TO DISPOSE OF DEAD FLYING FOXES Ensure the flying fox is dead. Do not directly touch the flying fox. Use a shovel and/or tongs to remove it and place it in a plastic bag. It is acceptable to dispose of the plastic bag containing the dead flying fox with your general rubbish in your wheelie bin or transfer it to your local landfill. REPORTING DEAD OR INJURED BATS •

FROM THE PAST contributed by the Volunteers at the Clermont Historical Centre WHO WAS THIS? Who was Ludwig Leichhardt? The Peak Downs area was first crossed by Ludwig Leichhardt in 1845 however, it wasn’t settled until Jeremiah Rolfe, the Archer Brothers and Hoods and Manning migrated there in the late 1850s. Hoods and Manning settled near Theresa Creek, calling their parcel of land Drummond Station. Source: “Towns of Minerals and Metals” pamphlet
Stampers were designed for crushing ore. This stamper was used at Miclere for crushing gold ore. It would have crushed many thousands of tons of quartz. Gold stampers operated by revolving the camshaft lifting each stamper at a rate of 90-100 drops per minute. The stamper falls under gravity with the turning motion imparted by the lifting cam crushing and grinding the ore. Water fed in at the top of the mortar box carried crushed ore through the screen-separating the gold particles. Reference: “Clermont Historical Centre Presents 100 Objects”, published 2018 by Isaac Regional Council.
WHERE WAS IT DISCOVERED? Where was the first Clermont gold discovered? In 1861, two shepherds by the names of Nelson and Harry MacDonald were tasked to build a hut on the banks of a long lagoon situated on Hood’s run (Hood’s & Manning). Records show that during their travels to find timber for the construction, they found gold in a gully that joined the Sandy Creek. News of the discovery spread quickly. The gully soon was known as “Nelson’s Gully” and the lagoon as “Diggings Lagoon.” Ludwig Leichhardt, dated 1850, courtesy of the National Library Australia.
Come out to the Clermont Historical Centre and learn more about this accidental discovery!

October 1st, 1869 ‘A man whose name is unknown was brought to Clermont in a cart from Logan Downs station about midnight on Friday last. It appears that the unfortunate man had been working at a dam which is being built at Logan Downs, and that a quantity of earth fell upon him, breaking both of his legs. He was at once sent off to Clermont (forty miles) for medical aid, but died in the cart shortly before reaching town. On Saturday Dr. Benson made a post mortem examination and found that internal injuries had been received which must have caused death. The deceased had been working only one day on the station and was quite unknown.’ Reference: Peak Downs Telegram (1869) October 1. Page 2.

We’d like to thank all the people who have been members and players over the years, staff, family, friends and local businesses that have supported the Clermont Sports Centre. We are happy to announce that as of the 4 October we have sold the business and would like to congratulate the new owners of the Clermont Sports Centre, Madonna Ede and family.
