Leyburn is one of only two places on earth to provide a home for a rare and unusual butterfly. The 50-yearold discovery in the Southern Downs has finally made news in the world of Australian fauna and flora. A scientific team, including entomologist Dr Don Sands, originally discovered the rare Bulloak jewel butterfly in the 1960s near Millmerran and near by Leyburn in 1969. While the scientists gave it a formal identity and description, the CSIRO only recently released the details of this and 135 other new species of animals and plants found in Australia.Today,Dr Sands is working on behalf of the Queensland Department of Main Roads and Transport in butterfly research.

The Historical Leyburn Sprints attracts more than classic cars; vintage vans are also a highlight of the event that hauls many classic caravans from around the nation for dis play. Vintage van lovers enjoyed the mid-century holiday feels as they chatted with van owners who sipped on drinks under annexes and hosted tours of hol idays past. To add a fur ther layer to the authen ticity, some van owners wore vintage styles that matched their vans circa. Sandi Cray is the Coordinator of the Vintage Van Display at the sprints and...

Gwen was born on 3rd July 1930 in Brisbane to parents Mathilda Caroline (nee Donaldson) and Cleveland Harold Ferguson. She passed away 15th June 2022. Cec was born on 5th April, 1929, to Linda (nee Ledingham) and William John Jamieson and passed away on 17th June 2022 They had contrasting upbring ings with Gwen growing up in Brisbane with one older brother and Cec with six siblings being raised on the property “Cynthia Downs” approximately halfway between St George and Bollon. Gwen worked in administra tion at the Courier Mail and specialist surgeries on Wickham Terrace.They met through mutual friends whilst Cec was living and working in Brisbane for Dalgety’s and they were married in November 1952. Cec and Gwen returned to “Cynthia Downs”, having no electricity, bar for generated 32-volt power (using a crank started engine) and despite the isolation, made the most of social activities - taking up tennis at Boolba and Gwen becoming a lifelong member of the CWA. Even though the land was a lot of hard work and tough times abounded, they enjoyed many happy times with their extended families and friends. Moving to “Lake Haven” Killarney in 1967 with three chil dren – Sheryl aged 12, Robyn aged six and Ian aged two brought a new group of neigh bours, friends and various com munity activities. Cec and Gwen made wide associations and friendships via their work, community and political activities. Gwen – CWA, Choir and her work at the Killarney State School. Jointly, they committed time to the National Party, Killarney Show Society and the Uniting Church. For Cec, he was a founding member of the Killarney Lions Club plus the Chairman of Glengallan Shire for over 15 years – which led to commit ments to the Saleyards Board and SWQEB, a particular pas sion of his – expanding the provision of electricity to...

Over the years they certainly experienced the ups and downs of politics – Gwen and Cec saw the value of having a say via the political process – thus their association with originally the Country Party – now the LNP. Their teamwork was a real strength – Gwen was insightful, and able to assess situations very quickly to understand potential underlying issues and Cec was very resourceful and pragmatic in his approach to problems. With Gwen’s sup port, Cec contested the newly created federal seat of Rankin in 1984, which encompassed the Warwick region running down into Ipswich urban areasonly going down by a handful of votes after preferences.Although the land and politics delivered their fair share of natu ral disasters, collapsed commodity prices and difficult times, they would readily say these have been far out weighed by the very good times, good luck and wonderful rela tives and friends and family. Throughout their almost 70 years together, they always dis played their optimism for the future and were grateful for the lives they had led and the upbringing they were able to provide. Whilst it is very sad to see them go, we can rest easy that they found fulfillment and hap piness in their lives.

Tribute -
“If a tree falls in a for est and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” is a common thought experi ment, the idea being that no matter how we attempt to prove that it DID make a sound, we always end up add ing ears to the equation. If a politician makes an announcement and there is no journalist around to hear it, what happens then? In October 2021, deputy PM and minister for state develop ment Steven Miles was in Toowoomba for the first pour of concrete at the Wellcamp quarantine facility, the first pour in front of journalists at least, but the concrete has hardened and turned into the political equivalent of con crete boots. And the govern ment is proving to be not very nimble at dancing its way out of the problem; these boots, to paraphrase Nancy Sinatra, were not made for dancing. We’re now at half time in the game of council politics, and we’re starting to hear growing rumblings from would-be players who believe they could do better with the ball in their hands. If I had anoth er lifetime or two, I’d like to take up painting, music, maybe become a lawyer or a shrink, but I would never ever want to be a councillor or mayor. Having sat on this side of politics for many years, close observation tells me that in terms of a heaped serving of real power and real glory, councillors are at the end of the queue. I think you have more power being a chamber of commerce president… CENTIMETRES with Olav Muurlink
Leonie Fuge editor@thedailyjournal.ink
Toowoomba, Brisbane and across the border were some of the locations the inspector men tioned saying, "youth often have some sort of link to the area, whether family or friends."
Continued from page 1 dressed in a bright 50's frock told the Daily Journal that "there were some very special vans that were worth the look." Sandi said the Vintage Van competition traditionally has around 28 on display, but this year only 16, making it the vin tage cream of the touring crop.
Though Sandi no longer enters the competition after winning a satisfying number of awards, her 1959 refurbished van was on dis play - and a big hit with visitors. Sandi and her husband Bob rescued and refurbished their Queensland-built vintage van named 'Dulcie' in 2016. "Dulcie is ugly compared to some of the other vans on dis play, but she is special," said Sandi pointing out the boxed frontage and fancy decorative iron trims.
Townsville has the highest youth crime rate, it doesn't. Toowoomba has the worst in Australia," said Inspector Deacon. In a proactive approach, the Queensland government announced in June that twen ty-nine new police officers will be posted to tackle the growing youth crime in the Darling Downs Police District - which is inclusive of the Southern Downs. Acting Sergeant Cameron Slatter said he has yet to hear if Warwick will gain extra police support as "they are still working out where they (the officers) are going to go."
"I was just going to clean her up but Bob said it was special and needed to be done properly, he even embraced the pink cup boards," said Sandi, thankful that their hard work has paid off with a vintage award-winning caravan. The couple purchased Dulcie from the original owner who had done little to the van in its 57 years."After the owner's husband died, the van was housed in a garage and remained untouched. It was kept as purchased, from the original pink to the original fridge," said Sandi. But before that time the van had done some serious mid-cen tury travelling around Queensland. "We found a jour ney notebook; the van did a lot of travel. One trip they headed up north and did Cairns for the summer."Itisdifficult to imagine the condition of the roads back then, but the couple commented on the strength of the van's chassis that has kept it in good stead for half a Preservingcentury. history in this throwaway society is the main reason the couple embarked on the five-month renovation of the van. They are also grateful they have found themselves in "a group of great people" who share the same vintage values.
Acting Sergeant Slater from Warwick Police Station confirmed that locally, "around eight juveniles would commit most of the offending."Thetype of crimes committed by juveniles around Warwick include stealing vehicles and unlawful use of motor vehicles, breaking into houses to steal car keys and Warwickshoplifting.isnotalone with a high prevalence of youth crime and is joined by Goondiwindi however, it is our closest inland city that is most"Manyaffected.think
Youth crime rates have spiked in parts of the Southern Downs over the previous 12 months fuelled by rental hikes in the Brisbane region. Acting Inspector Jamie Deacon from Warwick Police Station told the Daily Journal that city rents have increased and caused families in lower socio-economic condi tions to move to regional areas. "With population growth, we get those who are good for the town and also the undesirables. It's much cheaper rent in Warwick compared to Logan and Ipswich." Though a challenged popula tion moving to town has impacted youth crime rates, the inspector said it does not explain everything.
Area hit by youth crime
“A large volume of crime is committed by a small volume of youth...”
"The aerodynamics are atro cious, it just not built for wind," said Bob who had kept the refur bishment as authentically perfect as possible, including reviving the original floor tiles. "Each one was carefully removed, numbered and cleaned before being replaced in posi tion," he said.

Ian's second regional excel lence in design award was for a new build under $350,000. The house design was the request of a recently retired woman and is situated in Stanthorpe. "It has a couple of features that are differ ent," said the designer. "The cantilevered cover over the front entry allows the narrow frontage of the cul-dsac to fit in with the garage."Internally the home offers freedom from inside to outside with an alfresco area and lots of glass connecting the spaces under a high ceiling.With his manyaward-winningprestigiouscareer,wonderifIanisa city dweller, but Ian assured the Daily Journal that he has been living on the Southern Downs since 1987, and from his regional base con tinues to design homes that are built locally and throughout Queensland.In2005Ian took out a nation al design award for his unique design of Wickham's headquar ters in "TheWarwick.Wickam's guys were excited, it looks like a truck," said Ian. "Some of the guys trav elled to Tasmania for the confer ence based on speculation it would win." Ian said that many of his awards are for local designs and though he finds new house designs interesting, the challenge of heritage-listed building reno vations is far more challenging and he enjoys meeting the needs of the heritage listing regula tions whilst incorporating the varying needs of clients.

Southern Downs award win ning building designer, Ian Darnell (nspire planning), continues to do the region proud by taking out another two regional design awards. One award was for a church conver sion design in Yangan and the second for a new build design in Stanthorpe.TheDesign Award recognises excellence in regional building design and are an addition to Ian's growing achievements. It was only last year that Ian won the Heritage Award for his design converting Stanthorpe's heritage-listed Old Ambulance building into a medical surgery. Though Ian, who has been designing buildings since 1969, has won a multitude of regional and state awards over the years, he downplayed the recent recog nition of his work saying, "To be honest there was not much com petition."Ian'saward-winning church conversion design transformed Yangan's heritage-listed St Peters Anglican Church into a home giving the building a wow factor. "The owner's brief was to keep with the style of the church, and make use of existing materi als," said Ian. "They did it and it looksTheamazing."church owners repur posed a lot of materials to main tain authenticity, whilst reinvent ing the internals of the building by adding a mezzanine floor. Ian works in 3D and can visu alize the project before comple tion, however, upon seeing the end result Ian said it had a "wow factor" and was "quite uplifting toThevisit."building has incorporated the pulpit and altar areas into the design, opening up new spaces. "They left the pulpit in the same place but opened up the rest of it into a dining room. The stained-glass windows have become more visible. The rail that was originally around the altar area now runs around the mezzanine floor. The rail was architecturally designed to match the geometric shapes of theCurrently,windows."more than the own ers can appreciate the building as it is operating as a B&B. Though time will run out for a stay in the converted church as Ian said the owners will move into the premises in the future, which was their original plan.

After two and a half years of COVID-19, what does life with this virus really look like in our communi ty, and how effective is COVID19 vaccine immunity compared to natural viral immunity? These questions and more are being investigated in a Queensland Government statewide study and Southern Downers are invit ed to Theparticipate.Queensland COVID-19 Vaccination Safety and Efficacy Trial Statewide Study (QoVAX) will explore why and how differ ent people respond to the vac cines and the virus that causes COVID-19.Theresearch will also look into adverse vaccine effects, who is most likely to experience long covid in the community, and the health outcomes of COVID-19 on the vaccinated and unvacci nated over a shorter one-year period and a longer term of five years.This information will help governments, health services and communities make deci sions about the ongoing respons es to COVID-19 and COVID19 vaccines in individuals and communities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. On Wednesday a QoVax Community Day was held at the Warwick Redback Club house for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to find out more about the QoVAX study and meet the team. Kids activities with former NRL player Ashely Taylor were a hit and a variety of people came to find out more. Colleen Crummy attended the session and signed up for the study."Ithink this is a good thing and I got lots more information on what it is," she said. A researcher from the QoVax study was on hand to answer any questions and said the QoVax Community Day aimed to offer the opportunity for all to partic ipate in the study and build rela tionships and trust with commu nities that may be cautious.

If Council staff encounter locked gates or animals on the loose, a calling card will be left in the letter box asking residents to call 1300 697372 to arrange access.Water Consumption Notices for this half-year period will be issued in October 2022. Anyone experiencing issues with pay ments should contact Council to arrange a confidential payment agreement.Council provided a few tips for reducing water consumption including regularly reading prop erty water meters each week to track water usage and identify fluctuations. Early awareness of abnormally high water usage can identify water leaks before they get out of hand. They also urged community members to avoid pouring fats, oils, or grease down drains since they quickly clog drains resulting in blocked systems that can lead to costly repairs.
“Fats, oils and grease, or FOG, can severely impact Council's ability to maintain and repair wastewater systems across the region,” Council explained. “When you dump FOG-laden wastewater into your kitchen sink or outdoor drains, the neg ative impacts on the perfor mance of Council's wastewater treatment plants are far reach ing.”They included a few steps to help the community protect their homes from clogged drains. “Avoid pouring excess cooking oil or grease directly down the drain of your sink,” the Council spokesperson suggested. “Once cooled, solidified cooking oil can be thrown in the garbage bin once it is placed into a sealed container. Line a bowl with parchment paper before pouring in used grease and once it cools, lift it out by the parchment and seal it into a bag. Mix oil and grease with absorbent waste such as flour, cat litter, sawdust or sand for safe, easy disposal.”

Leaders from Australia's livestock industries wit nessed last week how travellers to and from countries such as Indonesia are exposed to more than 20 biosecurity touch points enhancing the biosecurity wall protecting Australia from exotic animal diseases.
The behind-the-scenes inspec tion of Sydney's International Airport was hosted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry's Biosecurity and Compliance Group. It featured a step-bystep review of the increased biosecurity measures in place from plane arrival through to baggage collection and exit. The inspection was a col laboration between Government and representa tives from Meat & Livestock Australia, Australian Meat Industry Council, Wilmot Cattle Co, Australian Pork Limited and Australian Wool Innovation.The Australian Government has implement ed a range of further urgent measures to reduce the risk of exotic diseases such as foot and-mouth disease (FMD), lumpy skin disease (LSD) and African swine fever (ASF) from entering Australia.Agriculture Minister Murray Watt said it was a great opportunity for indus try to see firsthand the strong measures implemented by the government at the borders. "We have been working hand in hand with industry to make sure our response to the threat of FMD is appropriate," Minister Watt said. "Australia remains FMD-free and we will do everything we can to keep it that way." One of the outcomes of the tour will be a video showing the enhanced biosecurity measures.
The video is intended for Australian livestock producers, the broader supply chain and the community to help convey the industry leaders' confidence in the significant measures in place to protect Australia from an exotic animal disease incursion.

It will be a fascinating study in economic gymnastics to see how the Chinese government is able to extricate itself from the cur rent problems it faces. Many have been building for a number of years, (ageing population) and some are of more recent origin, (Covid zero, property price declines) but together they are building a formidable chal lenge for the government to tackle whilst maintaining growth and prosperity, and calm across a large population. The previous solutions of massive govern ment infrastructure projects have run their course, and are unlikely to be successful or affordable this time, so small tweaks across a large number of industries or sectors are the only possible course of action. Of course, the wool industry would be very happy to see an increase in uniform allowance for every public sector worker in China, and it seems like we will have to make do with that this year, and more or less live with a gap in the consumer market as it seems too late to resurrect their for tunes for the current season.
Bruce McLeish Elders The Australian wool mar ket softening slightly last week - in USD terms anyway. However, a fortuitous reversal of trend across the cur rency markets meant that Australian woolgrowers were shielded from this and were able to come out of the week unscathed. Overall, after 3 days of auctions the market closed down 18 US cents, down 9 Euro cents and was unchanged in Aussie dollars. Individual micron price guides continued to gyrate around as buyers looked for types they could sell, or specifications on particular types caused a buyer pile on. At the end of the week most types were more or less unchanged in price and the market continues to drift, waiting for news from the retail Europeansector.mills have begun to drift back to work after their summer holidays, which have been decidedly warmer than pre vious years in many parts, and continue to be so - making it difficult for some to get enthused about making and selling winter clothing. Mill owners are approving samples of top and yarn which have been delivered over the break, but still taking the time to assess things before committing to new purchased for the 4th quarter and beyond. They are quietly optimistic that the season will turn out as pre dicted, and they will need to buy further quantities of raw materi als to meet the demand, but they are understandably a little cau tious as well, given the turmoil going on around them. For those garment manufac turers also operating in the 'other' natural fibre - cotton, wool must appear to be a benign stable commodity. Over the past 12 months cotton prices have surged on the back of Chinese demand, as they were forced to purchase US cotton instead of using their own prod uct from a certain Province in the west of China, where work ers conditions may be a little undesirable. Then the price of cotton crashed again when the buying slowed down, and then just over the past week cotton prices have surged another 20% as US crop forecasts point to tight supplies again in the future as a result of dry conditions in the major production areas. Wool, by comparison has been trundling along in a fairly tight trading range and not hitting one extreme or the other. Manufacturers and retailers are comfortable at current price lev els, although every other con sumable they purchase is going up in price and making life diffi cult. Merino wool growers in Australia are happy with the cur rent price level for their fibre, although less so with the cost of diesel, fertiliser and labour et al. So, the textile community in the western world eagerly awaits the approach of autumn, to reduce northern hemisphere temperatures and put out some bushfires, but also to begin test ing the consumer response to

the new collections which are about to hit the shelves. The result of which will quickly determine if more orders are going to be required to replenish stocks in the short term, and also dictate the strength of next year's program and how aggressive they can be with their fore casting. Given the unfinished business that the European Union has still to do around fighting inflation, sorting out the special military operation in the East, cajoling the British problem child, and finding a stable government in Italy a smooth start to the Autumn/ Winter selling period will be a massive feat if they can achieve it. A bit of up and down turmoil is a more likely scenario, but at least in the European market they have the history and experi ence to have seen it all before to some degree, and should be able to see through the fog without making rash decisions, as some of the more inexperienced oper ators in Asia will do. The other market which is fairly important for woolgrowers these days - China - is running slightly less efficiently, with less positivity or optimism about the impending consumer season.
Currently orders for new prod uct are very few and far between as retailers either have stock already in hand, or take a very cautious approach to actually purchasing some thing. A fair din kum heatwave has set Shanghai back on its heels, initiat ed

Nettle uses outweigh its sting
Tell mum to get off the phone and put on your seatbelt. It's road safety week across the nation and to bring this important message to Warwick residents, road safety organisations, emer gency services and police set up stands and vehicles for display on the SDIEA (old St Mary's school) oval.It was an engaging morning where children were able to explore the internals of police vehicles and fire engines and sit on a highway patrol motorbike. The message of staying safe on the roads and acting responsibly in vehicles was reiterated to children andActingparents.Inspector Jamie Deacon from Warwick Police Station spoke."When kids are in the police vehicles, we address road safety. We have conversations on wearing seatbelts, don't distract your parents while they are driving, make sure parents look alert while driving and tell mum to get off the phone."Thisyear has seen an increase in road fatali ties on the Southern Downs and Darling Downs regions with the biggest emerging trend in road safety being phone use whilst driving. Warwick is recognised as a fatigue zone, said the inspector, "Historically accidents happen in fatigue zones as it is a pass-through point. And sadly, that is when acci dents happen."

After a few weeks of nox iously fragrant brewing, my stinging nettle com post tea is finally ready. This morning I started strain ing it, removing the mushy leaves and stems to the compost pile and filtering the liquid into glass bottles that now hold a gorgeous green brew that stinks to high heaven and is full of nutrients for our gardens, vineyard, and orchards.Stinging nettles are chock full of goodness. Not only are they rich in iron and nitrogen, but also magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, chlorophyll, and potassi um. This is because they’re dynamic accumulators, amazing plants that acquire minerals and nutrients from the soil then redis tribute them as they decompose.Inowuse stinging net tles in five ways outside and in the kitchen.
One: I let them grow in the veggie patch, orchards, vineyard, and wherever else they pop up. This means I need to wear trou sers whenever I’m out there to keep from getting stung, but the benefits they bring to the soil are worthTwo:it.I chop the young plants off just above the ground and use them for compost and mulch, letting them break down slowly and releasing their good ness into the soil. Three: I brew compost tea and use it as foliar spray and a top up in the Four:soil.Ibrew fresh nettle tea for drinking. Five: I dry the leaves for use in herbal drinks all year round.Six: I powder the dried leaves to sprinkle in soups, salad dressings, and smoothies.Plantslike stinging nettle delight me. They have long been derided as pesky weeds but they’re actually great friends to soil, plants, and bodies and don’t cost a penny. Photo shows a bottle of sting ing nettle tea sitting in patch of stinging nettles.
Uses for Stinging Nettle:
"The road safety campaign is a prompt for people to remember the importance of road safety," said the inspector. "This should be at the forefront of everyone's mind every week." Coffee with a Cop was a big hit with parents who scored free cof fee and a chat with a local police officer. Many families attended the event after promotions were made at local schools and on social media. Kirsty who helped to organise the road safety week event was encouraged by the turnout. "It is lovely to see all ages come out and par ticipate in the campaign. Promoting the road safety message will help save lives."

Deb Wheeler Contributor Listening to the radio yes terday, I heard an announcement inviting men to come and find out more about Freemasonry in our region. This got me thinking of another era when Freemasonry in our region was very strong. The following article appeared on Friday 4th August 1922Warwick Daily News (Qld: 1919-1954) on page 2. The unveiling ceremony in connection with the honour roll, and entertainment of return sol dier members of the Star of Allora Lodge, P.F.A. S.O.A., took place in the Protestant Hall on Wednesday evening last, at which there was a splendid attendance, including a large number of visiting brethren from Warwick and Clifton. The W.M. Bro. J. Crookey presided, and after briefly announcing the object of the gathering called on Bro. H.G. Deacon, Grand Master, to perform the unveiling ceremony.Bro.Deacon, in the course of his address, remarked that he considered it a great honour to be asked to unveil the honour Roll of the Lodge, particularly as it was the Honour roll of the Lodge with which he had been associated all his life, and also because it had there on the names of members of whom he had known all their lives. The honour Roll was intended to be a lasting record of the names of those who were members of the lodge at the time of the world's greatest war, and who stepped forward voluntarily and freely offered their services to the empire at a time when such were most needed. He remarked that in all proba bility there were some who were inclined to say that those ser vices should be recognised in a different way than recording them by heaps of stone or in other somewhat similar manner, but he thought that the various Governments of Australia and the general public have in the main endeavoured to see that the soldiers' and sailors had not been forgotten in that respect. The Protestant Alliance Society has also, he thought, done its duty in the manner indicated. He drew attention that an honour roll was not erected as a recom pense to the soldier members but was intended to be a lasting record of those whom we were proud to see that time does not make us forget them and leave no record of whom they were and what they had done. It was not his intention to talk about the war. Some of those present perhaps had seen too much of it, and the majority had already heard all that can be said about it. Sufficient to say that the Empire was saved, and the men whose names were recorded on the Honour roll manfully took their part in saving it. The Honour Ross recorded that 40 members of the lodge had enlisted, and of this number eight made the supreme sacri fice. Those who had made that sacrifice were: A.A. Chard, P. Ford, S.G. Masters, J. McDowell, R. Ross, J.W. Laing, H.H. Dickey and A. Morrison. Those who returned were as follows: C.G. Anderson, C. Birkett, R.J. Donaldson, P. Jensen, A. Jensen, L. Masters, W.S. Neale, B. Ranger, H. Saunders, A. Smith, R. Stirling, R. Weatherby, S.J. Wightman, G. Ellis, C. Ellis, G. Bell, M.K. Dougall, E.G. Bourne, E.H. smith, S. Bebbington, S. Slatter, J. Mason, S.H. Tickel, W. Shooter, F. Shooter, O. Munro, F. Downes, C. Bishop, W.H. Allen, G. McMillan, T.A. Muir and O.C.R. Eastment.Ofthis number 18 were wounded and three gained the Military Medal - L. Masters, B. Ranger, and E.H. Smith. The number enlisted was about 25 percent, of the whole of the members of the lodge, and about 75 per cent of the physi cally fit. Personally, he thought this was a splendid record, and one which he felt sure stood out alone in the records of the soci ety of Queensland, if not in Australia. Taking the society as a whole in Queensland 1285 members had enlisted, and of this number 210 had made the supremeDuringsacrifice.thetime those mem bers were on active service the society paid the whole of their contributions amounting to the sum of 8,200 pounds. Funeral claims amounted to 6,600 pounds. The society had also invested the sum of 50,000 pounds in the various war loans, thus helping to make the silver bullets, which are the important factor in all wars. Bro. Deacon, in the name of the society of the Star of Allora Lodge, unveiled the Honour Roll, and prayed that it would always remain a lasting and permanent record of those who, hearing their coun try's call, nobly responded, and went out and fought for empire, home and duty. After the unveiling ceremony those present sat down to a sumptuous repast prepared by Mrs. S.E. Clarke, at which every available seat was occupied, the total number present being in the vicinity of one hundred. Bro. Deacon, Grand Master, presid ed, and was supported by Bro. H.J.H. Thompson, W.D.M., Warwick district. The following toast list was submitted and hon oured: "The King," silent toast to the memory of those who had made the supreme sacrifice. "Returned Soldier Members," by the chairman, and supported by Messrs. G.R. Tickle and a. Hamilton, and responded to by Messrs. R.W, Brown, S. Slatter and J. Taylor. "The Star of Allora Lodge," by S.H. Tickle, and responded to by Messrs. C. Burge and W.W. Anderson. "The Visitors," by W.J.T. Neale, and responded on behalf of the Warwick visitors, and C. Gillam on behalf of the Clifton repre sentatives present. The toast of the "Press" was proposed by the chairman and responded to by Mr. G. S. Briggs in a happy man ner.At the conclusion of the pro ceedings three cheers were given for the returned members, and also three hearty rounds for the caterer.Ifanyone has any further information on any of the sol diers mentioned in this article, I would appreciate it if you could contact me at the newspaper, Country Journal, 1/41 King Street, Warwick Q 4370 or phone Deborah 0414 852 492.

One of the good things about being in a moon boot for a week, follow ing a fracture to my ankle, was meeting the Italian Consul, Miss Luna Angelini Marinucci, on the Friday she visited the Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery. Consul Luna has a handful of a name, don't you think? And if you read her whole title, espe cially in Italian, it is again, long! She was very friendly and spoke to me in Italian and English because she knew I understand both languages as my papa` was born there and my Mum teaches and tutors young people and adults. Because everyone was talking a lot of Italian around me and because I knew the art gallery was closing only days later, I took the chance to look around and see the works still there. This was quite fun to have the space all to myself! I looked at the pictures in some of the art books upstairs, too. Here's a Rosella by Maggie Brockie, who was there in per son as well, and a great photo by Sandra McEwan, of a droplet. What a lovely hour or so it was! Thanks SRAG! See you after the renovation! After all that art and talking, I was feeling hungry so off to somewhere that we could drive to, was decided as best.

starting to hear a little in the media about the approaching fire season and the reality is after two years of high rainfall and especially this year, we will have the fuel for fires in the summer. It is time for everyone in the country to make sure it is clear around their homes and build ings.We are a bit lucky on our property at Greymare as we reg ularly mow and slash around the buildings and the cattle seem to like the grass along the garden fence and against the sheds. Reminds me of the one fire I lost control of 40 years ago. It was after a wet season and I was burning off with a permit in the late winter or spring to bring some new grass for our cattle. Later we had sheep but at that time, it was all cattle. I started the fire with a wester ly breeze against Mountain Maid Rd with the aim for it to burn the dry grass to the east. While the fire went out at night, it started up a bit more than I intended the next day and it got away. I called the Greymare Bush Fire Brigade (now called Rural Fire Brigade) and the fire was under control in a day or so. It mainly burnt land on our 2068 acres and 20 or 30 acres in a neighbouring property. My memory is about a third of our property.Ican’t remember if Greymare resident Geoff Thornton was on hand with his bulldozer to help out but know he has been on hand for most fires in the area.Down the years, we have been lucky in Greymare and had no homes or buildings threatened. I felt really day about losing the fire and getting all the volun teers in. I bought a scratchit for each volunteer and hand wrote a little thank you letter which I sent out.Doubt if anyone in Australia has done the same thing but that was my way of saying thanks. Didn’t hear about anyone having a big win. At the time, we only had a small pump on the back of our Fordson diesel tractor and two 44-gallon drums, now we have a barely used Honda motor fire fighter and 220 gallons of water as well as a 60-litre tank and bat tery-operated pump which can go on a trailer behind our grey Ferguson.RoadSafety Week My guess is my speed was 102km/h when I went past the black road safety police car on the Cunningham Highway west of Warwick on Tuesday after noon.Down the years, my wife Margaret would say every time I saw a speed camera I thought I might get a ticket but haven’t had one since speed cameras came in, my guess is more than 20 years ago. When I saw a camera, I hoped I didn’t miss a sign which said to slow down from say 80km/h to 70km/hMyfines down the years were police on the side of the road checking each motorist. For the past 50 plus years, I have known a road prayer. It was said by my parents every time they got in the car to drive the half hour from Greymare to Warwick and I got to learn it off by heart.. Now we say it as we head to Toowoomba or Brisbane but not on shorter trips like between Warwick and the farm. It doesn’t matter if people claim to be part of a denomina tion or not, there is a clear mes sage in this road prayer. Haven’t a copy, I just know it from memory, so don’t know who wrote it, if you know please tell me on editor@thedailyjour nal.com.au for next week. It goes like this, perhaps some readers may like to say it when they get into the car.

As natural disasters seem to be intensifying and the frequency increas ing, three Australian universi ties are asking residents of the Southern Downs and beyond to share their personal experi ences.Ifyou were affected by the 2022 floods in the Southern Downs, Brisbane, or else where, you are invited to take part in an independent social research project that is investi gating community experiences of the floods. The research is being con ducted for Natural Hazards Research Australia by research ers at Macquarie University, USQ, QUT and is supported by the NSW State Emergency Service and the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services. By contributing your personal experience to this research, you can improve regional safety strategies and influence future public policy to help the region adapt and reduce risks from floods.The researchers say they are interested in hearing a range of stories and views from residents of the Southern Downs.
“Lord help me to drive with a sure hand and perfect control so we might bring no harm to oth ers using the same road, protect O Lord those who accompany us from every mis hap or teachaccident,metomake use of this machine for my fellow man’s welfare and to curb my desire for excessive speed. May the beauty of this world thou has created, together with the joy of thy grace, ever accom pany us in our travels.

Continued from page 1... Sadly, the original location where the butterfly was found at Mt Emlyn outside of Millmerran was cleared of trees and now the butterfly is extinct there. There are two other locations where sightings have been made of the butterfly but these are consid ered unconfirmed until speci mens can be collected. Dr Don Sands was on the original team that described the butterfly in the 1969 and to this day is still working to understand the ecol ogy and threats to this endan gered butterfly. In fact, he finally published and helped describe the ant species after 50 years with another ant taxonomist last year."The butterfly has a symbiotic relationship with the ant species Anonychomyrma inclinata. The ants protect the caterpillars from other ants, allowing them to transform into butterflies. However, the dance of evolution is confined to bulloak trees, which are also rare.
KILLARNEY: KILLARNEY Country Markets on every 3rd Sun day of month at Canning Park, Killarney from 8am - 1pm.
According to Mr Head, the butterfly has a "very complex ecology" with special needs. " It involves several species of large old growth trees and small er plants, multiple mistletoe spe cies, a species of ant, birds, soil type, woody debris beneath the trees, protection from fire and likely more that is not fully understood. The male and female butterflies feed on flow ering mistletoes and several other species of trees including Queensland blue gum, Smooth barked apple, Dogwood and Kunzea."During the peak flying time the butterflies rely on two spe cies of mistletoe, Bulloak Mistletoe (Amyema linophylla subsp. orientalis) and Harlequin mistletoe (Lysiana exocarpi subsp. tenuis). However, the butterflies require a close rela tionship with a newly described species of small ant. The Bulloak Jewel Ant (Anonychomyrma inclinata) makes their nest in old growth bulloak trees in cracks, lightning scars, fissures and dead sections of the trunk. These ants don't nest in the ground and in fact don't seem to even like to travel across the ground and need fallen timber log bridges to move between trees. The female bulloak jewel will lay eggs at the base of the mistletoe or in cracks in the branches of a bulloak. If the bulloak jewel ant is present an amazing relationship occurs. The butterfly larvae come out at night from their protective holes in the trees and feeds on the bulloak leaves. The ants offer protection from predators and babysit the larvae while they feed and in return the larvae excrete honeydew from special glands for the ants to feed on. Birds like the hard-working mistletoe bird are needed to spread the 2 many species of mistletoes that are needed. The entire system needs to be free of invasive weeds and protected from intense fires that would destroy the ant's habitat on the ground and in the old growth trees." The Southern Down's rarest resident is now classified as crit ically endangered. Road reserves play an important role in the survival of the butterfly, and in fact, no other threatened butter fly is known to depend on intact roadside ecosystems. To save the Bulloak butterfly, the old bulloak woodland must also be saved.

Apple Cider Vinegar Recipe Ingredients and supplies:water5-6 apples, cleaned12-litre glass jar, cleaned and airdriedDirections:1.Roughly chop apples then bruise in a mortar and pes tle.
2. Fill jar at least 2/3 full with apple3.pieces.Cover apples water, tap ping jar gently to release trapped air pockets.
How to make apple cider vinegar
5. Store in a cupboard or pantry and check every 3 days for a month to make sure apples are still below the sur face. Top up with water if necessary. You should see a white scum form, and this is good. A gelatinous seal known as the mother may also form, and this is good too. Only worry if you see a black, green, or grey scum/ mould form. If this happens, throw out the concoction and start fresh 6. After a month, strain the vinegar, discard all solids except the mother, and return the liquid and mother to the jar. Cover as before and let sit for another month, tasting once a week until it reaches the flavour you like.
7. Once it tastes right to you, bottle and seal the vine gar and store in your pantry or cupboard, using as needed.

As we inch closer to spring, I think of warm days ahead where cool salads and crisp pickles will be the stars of my menu. Before those days arrive, I must prepare by making our yearly supply of apple cider vinegar. I love making vinegar. There’s something so exciting about see ing fruit transform into a tangy vinegar that adds zing and deli ciousness to everything it touch es.Not only is apple cider vinegar good for you, it’s also easy to make, stores like a dream, and can be used in all manner of recipes.Allyou need are apples and water. That’s it. You can add a piece of the gelatinous mass called a mother that forms in vinegar to kick start the process, but you don’t need it to make a successful vinegar. Use the best apples you can find because good apples make good vinegar. Give them a rinse and then chop them roughly, cores, skins, and all. I also like to give them a bit of a bash with a rolling pin so the juice releases easily. Once they’re chopped and bashed, pile them loosely into a clean glass jar until it’s about 2/3 full. Then top up with water, weight with a fermentation weight or a Ziploc bag filled with marbles or rice, cover with a tea towel and secure it with string or a rubber band.Set the jar in a dark place like your pantry or a cupboard, then leave it there for a month, checking it every 3-4 days to make sure the apples are below the water line. After a month, strain the lot (preserv ing the mother if it forms), then return the liquid to the jar, cover as above, and wait another month. Taste the vinegar once a week until it reaches the flavour you like, then bottle it and use as needed.
22 25th August 2022Town & CountryJournal
At this point you can leave the apple cider vinegar plain or you can add in flavourings such as garlic, a few springs of rosemary, some dried chillies, or a cup or two of fresh raspberries.

4. Weight apples to keep them below the liquid, cover with a tea towel or butter muslin and secure with string or a rubber band.

Warwick’s Matthew Devitt and his father John each won their classes as 223 drivers competed in the annual Leyburn Sprints at theGoingweekend.into this year’s sprints, Matthew was one of only three drivers to compete in all sprints, the others were Barry Smith (Ford V8 Special) from Brisbane and Sprints founder Mike Collins. Sadly, Mike died since last year’s sprints. John won his class in his Holden Special. There were 53 classes at the sprints. It is not all racing at the sprints with a charity auction, fun run and racing car rides as well as a variety of food stalls. In the Leyburn Sprints, it is all about time on a street circuit which started in front of the RoyalTheHotel.overall winner was Lismore driver Dean Amos who won his seventh overall title in a Gould car. He won the Col Furness Memorial Trophy pre sented in memory of a motor sport enthusiast who backed the sprints to the hilt in the early years. It was an outstanding effort for Amos to win as he had his house and automotive business flooded in this year’s Lismore floods.Hehas spent recent months rebuilding a lot of the machin ery and equipment in his busi ness. His racing car was one of the few things which wasn’t inundated.Warwick businessman Matt Clift won the trophy for fastest historic car in a Mazda. Sprints media manager Chris Nixon said there was a mam moth crowd at the sprints on Saturday with more than 500 camp sites booked on Saturday night.
