Protecting our Local Rainforests for the Future

World Rainforest Day is celebrated on 22 June and as the land rises from the floor of the Samford Valley up to the peaks of Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious within the D’Aguilar National Park, we reflect on the fact that rainforests are essential to life on Earth.

Not only do they provide air, water, medicine, food and shelter to a multitude of living beings, they are also one of our best natural defences against climate change, because of their capacity to absorb greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Within central Samford, a project has been underway to regenerate the bushland site alongside Cash Avenue and the Samford Creek. This area is of very special significance within the Moreton Bay Region as it contains remnant riparian rainforest and is at the very highest level of the Government’s endangered fauna classification. It is also an important area for local wildlife!

Samford Landcare has been overseeing this project with the Samford Scout Group. It will have two primary areas - the Scout Trails Garden; and multiple smaller gardens on the Cash Avenue border. When construction commences on the nearby footpath linking Cash Avenue north to south, this will also provide a safe, all-weather pathway for travel and access to the garden areas.

Another group that has been of great assistance with this project has been the team from the Marist180 traineeship program, creating the trail paths and building creek viewpoints. The trainees are able to be trained in landscaping and construction skills working on the site, as they progress towards further training or an apprenticeship.

The gardens are all open for viewing and new recruits are always welcome at Samford Landcare and Marist180.

2023 Dayboro Day Parade

Dayboro District Historical Society Inc was formed in February 2004. Since then, we have participated in the Dayboro Day Parade every year and have also had an historical display, initially in the old Bank building. This was re-opened on Dayboro Day after substantial renovations and has been re-named the Dayboro Meeting Hub. More recently our display has been at “Dayboro Cottage” where our Society runs the Dayboro Information Centre.

We are joined in the parade by descendants of Dayboro district’s early pioneering families. This year, the following families were represented. The year they settled in the district is shown after their name – McKenzie (1866), Rohlf (1867), Bond (1869), Dietz (1869), Warburton (1871), Nugent (1872), Lacey (1879), Kenman (1879), Heathwood (1886), Francis Williams (1887) and Kelly (1905).

The first Dayboro Day Festival was held in June 1992. In 1995 a Dayboro District Resident of the Year Award and a Junior Achiever Award were introduced. The first Dayboro Resident of the Year was Marj Barnett and the Junior Achiever was Timothy Reid. In 2001 a Business of the Year Award was also introduced with the first award going to Gramma’s House.

Marj’s husband Verne received the Dayboro Resident of the Year Award in 1999. Between them they were involved with many organisations in Dayboro. It is only this month that Marj, at the age of 92, has sold the home in which she has lived for the past 42 years and has moved to Seasons at Mango Hill.

In 2023, the Dayboro Resident of the Year award was presented to Di Evans, the Junior Achiever was Rohan Sweeney and the Business of the Year Award was presented to Craig Doyle Real Estate.
