Local events a runaway success Over the past few weeks, the Southern Downs region has played host to a variety of both tourist attracting and community spirited events. After an uncertain start to the year, a number of scheduled shows and events were postponed or cancelled, but this turned around with the arrival of the Apple and Grape Harvest Festival in late February.

A feral problem By Emily-Rose Toohey Rural Southern Downs property owners are facing the challenges of wild dogs, cats, and foxes impacting the viability of their land. Southern Downs Regional Council (SDRC) has a baiting program to help mitigate this

problem, which is undertaken in collaboration with the landholders. An SDRC spokesperson said the program is one of the controls designed to minimise the impact feral animals have on livestock and occurs up to four times a year. “The more landholders who participate, the greater the impact the program has to con-

trol feral animals,” the spokesperson said. “The baiting service for landholders does not incur a cost and a great deal of effort is focused on achieving high participation rates amongst landholders.” Grazier Paul Maher is one of these partici-

pating landholders and is part of a group of residents involved with coordinated baiting. Paul said the group met last Wednesday at Wildash and their aims are to make landholders more aware of the wild dog problem and to strategise ways of improving it. More on page 4
