Appeal lost but business as usual for water firm
HE Queensland Planning and Environment Court has ruled in favour of a Council decision in 2011 to reject an application by Gillion Pty Ltd to operate a commercial groundwater extraction business in Power Parade, Tamborine Mountain. Mayor John Brent said: “This has been a lengthy legal process, but one which is an example of Council’s commitment to listen and act on the concerns of the community.” Judge Robertson in the Planning and Environment Court last Friday dismissed an appeal by Gillion Pty Ltd against the refusal by Scenic Rim Regional Council of its development application. He found the use to be a “significant conflict with the Planning Scheme” with insufficient grounds to justify an approval despite the conflict. He qualified that by saying that if he had accepted Gillion’s argument that the conflict with the Planning Scheme only amounted to a “technical or mechanical” conflict he would have been persuaded, despite his reservations, to allow the appeal. Gillion’s barrister informed the court that Gillion intended to appeal against the decision in the Supreme Court. The separate matter of the suspension of an enforcement order – allowing Gillion to continue trading until the appeal was resolved – was heard later in the day. Both Council’s and the residents’ representatives objected strongly to any extension. They argued Gillion had already had more than two years of extensions to its advantage and to the detriment of local residents and that Gillion could source water elsewhere. Despite their objections, the judge granted Gillion at least a further six weeks in which to extract and transport water off the mountain. During this extension, the Gillion water tanker is required to use the Oxenford haul route: Power Parade to Main Western Road, into Hartley Road and Long Road, past the Tamborine Mountain State School, through Gallery Walk and down Macdonnell Road to Oxenford. continued page 3

This retired racing greyhound never won a race, but she certainly won Portia Warwick’s heart.
calm, sensitive and friendly nature has seen them used as therapy pets in aged care and special needs homes. Another misconception about greyhounds is that they need lots of exercise, but they are actually less active than other dogs more often kept as pets, such as cattle dogs and kelpies and have earned a reputation for being the world’s fastest couch potatoes. Greyhounds rarely bark and their short coats are a bonus for people with allergies as they do not shed a lot of hair and do not have an odour. The Million Paws Walk will begin at 8am with a barbecue breakfast at Geissmann Oval, where there will be a jumping castle and face painting for children, raffles, live music and competitions for the best dressed dog and owner. The event at Geissmann Oval will conclude at 10am, when the walkers will set out with the option of a two-kilometre or five-kilometre route. Participants can pre-register for the walk by logging on to millionpawswalk.com.au or by picking up an entry form at the RSPCA shop, 40 Main Street, phone 5545 3988.
Greyhounds a sure bet to win hearts at Paws Walk
ETIRED Rugby great, Garrick Morgan, will be helping some other retired athletes to make a new start by promoting greyhounds as pets at Tamborine Mountain’s Million Paws Walk on Sunday, May 19. The former footballer has kindly offered to fill in for Olympian Sally Pearson, who will now be competing overseas, as a special guest at the RSPCA’s fundraiser. As well as helping to raise funds for the RSPCA’s efforts to re-home some 18,000 dogs in Queensland each year, our local Million Paws Walk will focus on finding homes for former racing greyhounds, which make wonderful pets. Racing Queensland’s adoption group Greyhounds as Pets and charity organisation Friends of the Hound will each have displays at Geissmann Oval, where ex-racing dogs are a sure bet to win hearts. While many people associate greyhounds with muzzles and believe they must be vicious, they are in fact usually gentle and sweet natured animals. Patient and tolerant dogs, greyhounds are usually very good with children and their

Appeal lost but business as usual for water firm from page 1 This requirement is specific to the Gillion tanker, Reg No. 304 RNE. The tanker is not to go past the school during morning or afternoon peak times. The Gillion appeal to the Supreme Court must be based on an argument that the judge made an “error in law” in the methodology or reasoning he used in coming to his decision. No further evidence can be introduced. A spokesperson for the residents’ group, Jennifer Peat, described the court’s decision as a victory for the community and for Council. She said that until Gillion had formally lodged its appeal documents it would not

HE Queensland Government has appealed to Queensland motorists to pledge their support for road safety this month. Among its goals is a Fatality Free Friday on May 31. Fatality Free Friday is a nation-wide campaign to have not a single death for one day on Australian roads. State Member for Beaudesert, Jon Krause, said it was startling to see that almost one in five road fatalities in Queensland occurred on a Friday last year.
decide whether there was benefit in entering into the appeal. Council must respond necessarily. Throughout the appeal proceedings a core group of residents worked hard to represent the interests of those in the wider community who had expressed opposition to the removal of ground water from the Mountain. They raised points that Council could not. “This decision is welcome acknowledgement that Council made the right decision when it upheld the Planning Scheme and responded to submitters’ concerns by refusing Gillion’s development application,” said Ms Peat.
Since its inception in 2007, the Fatality Free Friday campaign has continued to expand its operation and is now recognised as Australia’s only national community based road safety program. To April 30 this year, 99 people had lost their lives on Queensland roads – 16 more than at the same time last year. Mr Krause said an inflatable car, on which people could sign to pledge their support for road safety, would be touring the State – or they could sign their pledge online at www.fatalityfreefriday.com.

Canungra vision focuses on village atmosphere
OUNCIL has endorsed the community’s vision for Canungra as a thriving rural village and has adopted the area’s Local Planning Study. The study document, created in consultation with the local community, outlines a 20-year vision and strategic plan for managing future growth in Canungra and its surrounds. Planning and Development Committee Chair, Cr Jennifer Sanders, said the study focused on six key planning strategies for the area. “Following our consultation with the community, amendments were made to the draft document to give an increased focus on providing land for employment and small business, as well as opportunities for the establishment of cottage tourist facilities,” Cr Sanders said. “We have also given more detail about the potential to link a walking trail network to green space and attractions in Canungra. “In addition, each of the six planning themes now includes an implementation strategy outlining how these outcomes will be delivered.” The study includes a land use plan which aims to provide a balanced approach to the area’s expected growth from 700 to 3000 people over the next 20 years. Deputy Mayor Virginia West said she believed the final document reflected the broader community’s aspirations for Canungra. "Residents expressed their desire to retain Canungra's vibrant village atmosphere and preserve its rural lifestyle and character, while providing increased opportunities for employment and small business," Cr West said. The Canungra Local Planning Study document can be viewed online at www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au.

TM Rugby raises goalposts at Long Road AMBORINE Mountain Rugby is raising the goalposts in more ways than one. With the aid of some hard work, the club has literally raised its first set of goal posts at the Long Road Sports Complex. The club has also extended its thanks to Tamborine Mountain Bushrats, who generously provided both the posts and other coaching and playing equipment to help get it up and running. There has been great support from wonderful local sponsors, including Ray White Rural, MainFitness, Hillbilly Coffee, Mortons Urban Solutions, Pinnacle Pizza and The RSPCA Shop. The club is going from strength to strength in its first year of operation, and the goalposts symbolise its official place in Mountain sport. On the playing front, the club now has the opportunity to train twice a week (Wednesdays 3.45pm and Fridays 3.30pm) led by head coach and former Wallaby Garrick Morgan. The club is also fortunate to have the talents of accomplished coach Graham Herlihy who, among his many accomplishments, has previously
coached the Australian Under 19 Junior Kangaroos and under 19 Australian Open Schoolboys. Graham’s immense skills and experience are providing the young players with an amazing opportunity to develop their playing skills, confidence and passion for the game. Additionally, the club has been fortunate to have some high profile visiting coaches to pass on their skills and knowledge. The players were recently treated to a visit by Alec Evans who as a coach is credited as being the unsung hero of the 1984 Grand Slam Wallabies tour of the UK. Alec is one of the most respected forwards coaches in Australian Rugby and generously shared his expertise with an eager group of players. With opportunities to work with coaches of this calibre, TM Rugby is sowing the seeds to develop some great future Rugby talents. If your child is interested in learning great skills and making new friends, come along to training, or contact Tori Sherley Price on 0401 584 124. Coaching or technical enquiries can be directed to Garrick Morgan on 0468 847 668.

Autumn Leaves
UTUMN is a lovely time of year on Tamborine Mountain – days are usually bright and sunny, yet there is a refreshing crispness in the air. As in every season there is a regular pattern of life cycles, growth and activities, such as migration and flowering, but the seasonal changes here are far more subtle than in many other parts of the world. One of the most colourful seasonal spectacles in nature is the autumn leaf display of deciduous trees, which is mainly seen in the USA, Canada, Europe and Eastern Asia. Why and how does this phenomenon occur? The leaves of deciduous trees are tender and unlike tough leaves such as pine needles, they would be vulnerable to the low temperatures of winter, so the loss of leaves is a means for the tree to shut down and avoid damage, and the autumn colours are a consequence of this strategy. Deciduous trees are sensitive to the length of days and nights. When a threshold day/night proportion is reached, the cells at the leaf juncture divide rapidly to form a corky layer of cells that block the movement of materials between the leaf and the branch. One of the materials that require constant replenishment from the plant to the leaf is the pigment, chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a strong green pigment that give leaves their colour, and plays a vital part in the process of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll breaks down in sunlight, and as the supply of chlorophyll is blocked, the green colour of the leaf fades. Other pigments always present in the leaves, such as yellows (xanthophylls) and oranges (carotenoids) can now be seen. Other colours
are produced from the sugars that are trapped in the leaves, which may form red and purple pigments (anthocyanins).It is thought that these pigments may act as a sunscreen, repel insect pests or reduce water loss. Some trees lose their leaves when they are quite colourful, and others retain their leaves until all the pigments in the leaves fade in the sun, and the only pigments that remain are tannins, which are brown. When the leaves fall to the ground, they decompose and form a rich layer of humus; this benefits both the individual tree and the entire forest. Certain colours are characteristic of certain species, eg maples are red and poplars are golden, but the change is also influenced by temperature, moisture, sunlight, drought, wind and soil conditions, so each autumn is different. Here on Tamborine Mountain we have a number of exotic deciduous trees planted as street trees and in private gardens. Their colourful transformation gives us a hint of the change of seasons and represents autumn, even in our land of evergreen trees. A correction to the article on highs and lows: humid air is less dense than dry air. The molecules of water are lighter than those of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, so a cubic metre of humid air will contain more molecules of water and will therefore be lighter than a cubic metre of dry air.

TRAVELLING PLACES with Gina
Burma or Myanmar? They may have changed the country’s name from Burma to Myanmar and its capital from Rangoon to Yangon, but the ambience of the British Empire lives on in the bar at the grand old Strand Hotel. Relaxing in wicker chairs, moustachioed gentlemen sip their Johnny Walker Black Label as their partners fiddle with glasses of Pimm’s No 1… the original quinine digestive alleged to ward off the dastardly malaria. You can almost imagine Rudyard Kipling walking through the doors cane in hand. Like Rip Van Winkle, Myanmar has awoken from a deep sleep. Many of you will be familiar with the iconic Bill Peach Journeys. I was lucky enough to join one in Australia a few years ago and I was delighted with the eye to detail and the excellent way these trips are arranged. Bespoke Journeys have been designed for those travellers who are looking for an exceptional travel experience with boutique modes of transport, but who prefer to travel privately rather than with a group. Bespoke Journeys offer flexible travel dates but still provide the same high degree of service and style synonymous with Bill Peach Journeys. Burma is a spectacular jewel that has remained hidden for decades, but is now opening up to the world revealing astonishing natural beauty and an unparalleled cultural heritage. Cruising gently along the Ayeyarwady River, The Road To Mandalay by OrientExpress accesses the unique sights, scents and sounds of Burma (Myanmar) in complete style and luxury. As always on a Bill Peach Bespoke Journey, you'll commence your journey at a sumptuous location, in this case the Governor's Residence in Yangon, and enjoy fully escorted and personal touring by guides with expert local knowledge in Yangon, Mandalay, Shanlay, Bagan, Mount Poppa National Park, Sagaing and Maymyo.

FROM THE MAYOR’S DESK
OUNCIL recently resolved by majority vote that an extra on-street disability parking bay outside Tamborine Mountain State School was not required in addition to the one already provided. It has been reported that this outcome did not reflect the prevailing community sentiment on this issue and, to quote one proponent, that Council’s handling of the situation had been farcical. This is incorrect on both counts. Matters such as this are not normally referred to the highest level for a decision. However, following two separate investigations into the need for an additional disability parking space and a subsequent internal review of the actions taken, the issue was brought before the full Council for a final determination. By all measures, in this case Council delivered a comprehensive response to an otherwise routine request, although the outcome was not to the satisfaction of the proponent. In making its decision, Council took into account the key conclusion of a Parking Investigation Report that there
was not sufficient demand for the designation of an additional disability parking bay at the school entry on Curtis Road. This report, prepared by Council’s Road Safety Auditor, was the second investigation into the matter within a six-month period. It involved on-site inspections of parking movements outside the school at different times over four days, discussions with the school principal and local police, and a review of the relevant regulations and legislation. Council also determined that the provision of an additional disability parking bay would result in a reduction to the already limited number of parking spaces available to all parents dropping off or collecting their children. However, while Council is responsible for managing on-street parking, it should be noted that there is an off-street parking area in the grounds of the school. This could be redeveloped to provide further disability parking should the school or Education Queensland believe it appropriate. A survey of parents at the school, which has an enrolment of approximately 525 students, was conducted via the school newsletter. We were advised the outcome was 12 responses, 10 of which were in favour of providing an additional space, certainly not an overwhelming outcome from the school community. John Brent

Tamborine Mtn Police News by Constable Peter Blundell, North Tamborine Police
MORE THAN 20 WEAPONS HANDED IN DURING AMNESTY The widely publicised general amnesty on firearms and weapons has now concluded. More than 20 weapons were handed into us at the police station over the three month amnesty period. Most of these weapons were category A classed weapons, meaning they were normally shotguns, .22 calibre rifles and .177 calibre air rifles. However, a few weapons that were surrendered were quite unexpected. Several semi-automatic rifles, including one military style semi-automatic, heavy calibre (7.62mm) Chinese-manufactured SKS rifle with bayonet attached comes to mind, as well as several pistols of varying calibre and size. It surprised me that those types of weapons were still out there in the community and not registered. Personally, I would like to thank all those persons who surrendered weapons to police during the amnesty period - you have all in a small way contributed to the safety concerns within this community. Please be aware that even though the general amnesty is over, you can still deliver weapons to us or to a registered weapons dealer (who may pay you for your item) for safe keeping or for destruction. However, you will be required to identify who you are and how you came into possession of the weapon/s. FAILING TO PAY FOR FUEL Please be aware we are still receiving reports from service stations about people failing to pay for fuel. If you fail to pay for fuel or make appropriate arrangements to pay on time, you could be charged with a stealing offence. You could even be banned from buying fuel in the future from a particular retailer.
HOW YOU CAN ASSIST OUR INQUIRIES As you can imagine, we as police officers are directed to attend all types of jobs, anything from break and enters to traffic
accidents to assaults and much, much more. Sometimes we cannot attend to matters as quickly as we would like and this happens for all types of reasons. However, victims, informants and witnesses can assist police and themselves by gathering evidence before police arrive. Without putting yourself in any danger, please record details of what was seen and when and where it occurred. Don’t trust your memory, write down car registration numbers, type, make, colour and model; take photos on your mobile phone if you can and gather the names and details of other persons who may have been witness to the event. Don’t touch anything of evidentiary value to forensic police, unless absolutely necessary. Be prepared to sign a statement under oath and appear in court at a later date if required. Everything you do as a victim or a witness to help police can contribute to criminals being successfully identified and prosecuted. DRINK-DRIVERS TARGETED ON MOUNTAIN Once again I have to mention that we continually target drink-driving offenders on and about the Mountain. North Tamborine Police officers conduct approximately 4500 random and roadside breath tests per year. Add to this the number of tests performed here on the Mountain by the Coomera Traffic Branch or other police crews passing through our area and the number of Random Drug Driving tests performed by visiting specialised police units. Needless to say, a small percentage of intercepted drivers will be charged with offences. I plead with all drivers and persons in control of vehicles (ie persons accompanying learner drivers) to drive safely, not drink and drive, and remain below their specific and appropriate blood alcohol concentration legal limits.

Stunning autumn show at local gardens UTUMN brings remarkable and distinctive changes in the colour of the leaves of deciduous plants and three of the Mountain’s outstanding private gardens will open their gates for two days this month to give local residents a glimpse of this seasonal phenomenon. They are Tallaringa, Glenloch and Avoca Park. Careflight on the Gold Coast will be the beneficiary of proceeds raised by each of the properties. ALL THREE GARDENS: Open 18 & 19 May 2013 10am to 4.30pm Admission $7 or $18 (under 18s free) TALLARINGA 268 Long Road, North Tamborine Tallaringa features a diverse array of cooler-climate plants, making autumn a perfect time to visit. It has many plants in varying stages of gorgeous autumnal dress, including maples, gingkos, prunus, dogwood, pistachio, ash, magnolia and persimmon. The garden also features lovely water
features and stunning panoramic views. GLENLOCH 42 Yuulong Road, North Tamborine Glenloch was just a homestead surrounded by a few old trees and some rough horse paddocks only eight short years ago. Now, stately avenues of London plane trees and pin oaks combine with Canadian maples and liquidambars to create a beautiful tapestry of autumnal colour, perfectly set off by a backdrop of softly sweeping lawns. Refreshments and light lunches will be available and plants will be for sale at Glenloch. AVOCA 70-81 Bateke Road, Mt Tamborine Vibrant golds, yellows and reds of liquidambars set the tone at Avoca Park which is filled with rich autumnal colour. Refreshments and light lunches, provided by Tamborine Mountain Community Care Centre, will be available for purchase and plants will be for sale.
The Wisdom of Solomon
Dear Geoff, Several years ago at the Woodford Folk Festival I overheard two men speaking about ‘wisdom’. They were deep in conversation about how amazing this wisdom is, and how easy it is to get, and how it just comes like a bolt out of the blue, and how awesome it is. They were fairly young men, still in the years when most of us are trying to figure out how to make the right choices in life. When I came across them later I realised that they had found this ‘wisdom’ through a ‘joint effort’. If it were only that easy! The Bible talks a lot about wisdom. There are a number of books of the Bible that are called ‘wisdom literature’, they were written about how to live life in its day to day stresses and challenges. Some of these books were written by King Solomon who was widely known for his wisdom. At one point in the New Testament Jesus is speaking about how he is different from Solomon. About Solomon he says, ‘The Queen of the South…… came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.’ (Matthew 12:42, NIV. Read about the Queen of Sheba, 1 Kings chapters 9, 10.) Jesus claims to be greater than Solomon in wisdom. He’s not just saying he has more detailed knowledge of
10 – TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN NEWS VOL. 1352, 7 MAY, 2013
everything Solomon knew. Jesus is saying that he is himself wisdom. He is quantitatively different from Solomon. Solomon had wisdom within the context of Old Testament redemption which was incomplete in the light of the expected coming of the Messiah. Solomon’s great wisdom was unable to grasp the mystery of redemption in Christ which was waiting for fulfillment in the future. Paul refers to the message of the gospel as ‘the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge’. Christ is our wisdom for life and for death. He has embraced all of humankind’s deepest needs in both life and death; not just the needs we think we have but our true needs as God sees them. We need redemption through Christ, and until we understand this and seek it we will be ever adding more of the wisdom of the world…and ‘the world through its wisdom did not know him’ (1 Cor. 1:21 NIV) But for those who come to him by faith, Jesus Christ ‘has become for us wisdom from Godthat is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.’ (1 Cor. 1:30 NIV). Your Brother, Kim

Council application to control flying foxes CENIC Rim Council is applying for a Damage Mitigation Permit (DMP) from the State Government in relation to a flying fox colony at Boonah’s Bicentennial Park. Mayor John Brent said: “We believe that proceeding with a DMP application is the most appropriate step to manage the flying fox population at Bicentennial Park. “This application process involves approvals from both the State and Federal Governments under relevant legislation.” “This is a complex issue, so it is appropriate to seek expert advice to determine the best management measures available to Council under the DMP in support of our application. “Once the necessary approvals have been secured, Council will make a final determination in relation to implementing the endorsed measures.” Cr Brent said Council had weighed up the wellbeing of the Scenic Rim community
T
versus maintaining a habitat for native wildlife within a built-up residential area. “The reality is that we have a number of residents in Boonah who continue to experience a significant impact on their day-to-day living as a result of the proximity of this flying fox colony,” Cr Brent said. “This is not an historic habitat site impacted by urban expansion, quite the opposite. The roosting of these flying foxes has only become an issue in recent years due to the growth of vegetation in Bicentennial Park. “We have monitored this situation for some time with the expectation that the colony might naturally relocate of its own accord. “This has not happened and we have reached a point where doing nothing is no longer an acceptable option in the eyes of the local community.”
Tamborine Mtn State School pre-prep program
AMBORINE Mountain State School will launch its pre-prep program on Friday May 24 at its Under 8s Day. The pre-prep program is designed to engage children (aged two to five) in a variety of social and cognitive skill building activities. These include singing, shared stories and arts and crafts. The program is an extension of the
traditional playgroup, where parents and children can share, create and learn together. As part of the pre-prep program initiative there will also be a number of parents’ sessions run by specialists. An information session for parents and local early childcare staff will be held on Wednesday June 5, at 9.15am in the learning hub.

Councillor’s Comment Nigel Waistell – DivisioN 1
TELECOMMUNICATIONS TOWER, WITCHES CHASE A Telstra information session on the proposed facility has been planned for Wednesday 15 May from 4.30pm to 7.30pm at the Vonda Youngman Community Centre. Previously, I have asked if Telstra would liaise with Energex over whether Telstra could utilise the Energex tower at the end of Beacon Road. Liaison has occurred and the answer is no as the Energex tower is at maximum capacity. I urge residents to take advantage of this information session. The formal public notification period will commence Monday, May 20. SRRC PLANNING SCHEME AND THE STATE PLANNING POLICY I am having a meeting with the Council’s Project Officer for the SRRC Planning Scheme on Thursday May 9 and I will be seeking confirmation on how the community consultation process will work. Meanwhile, the State Government has produced a draft State Planning Policy (SPP) which is out for public consultation until June 12, 2013. The SPP will be used by local governments, developers, State Government and the general public. An information session will be held on the Gold Coast on May 14. For further details, visit www.dsdip.qld.gov.au/spp or call 1800 600 163. CONSULTATION ON MAIN STREET MEDIAN STRIP BEAUTIFICATION I conducted a community consultation on Saturday April 27, as previously advertised, and thank you to those who came to offer their views. The consensus was yes to more tables and seats but no to picnic shelters. The requirement for steps and rail from east Main Street, opposite the bakery, up onto the median strip was a question mark. A new initiative was the construction of a rotunda on the median strip opposite the post office. This rotunda could facilitate musical sessions on a Sunday afternoon, be used by library staff for their school groups or other community events. If you would still like to comment, please contact me. Finally, this beautification still has to receive funding. REPORTING OF FAULTS OR REQUESTS If you wish to report something to Council, you have a number of options. The best option is to: • Visit the library and speak to the Customer Service Officer. Other options are to: • Contact me and I will report it for you; or • Phone Council on 5540 5111 and you will be put through to a Council officer. Whichever option you choose, please ensure that you are given a reference number. If you have not received any feedback within a reasonable time frame, you can then contact Council on 5540 5111, quoting the reference number. FREE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED I know of a 70-year-old lady who requires short term accommodation for six weeks. She has three small dogs from which she is reluctant to be parted. If anyone can assist, please contact me. CONSULTATION The next consultation in the library will be on Monday May 13 from 4pm to 5.30pm. I am also available for one-on- one meetings at your convenience. My contact details are: Home: 07 5545 0223; Mobile: 0423 931 075; Email: npw1@sctelco.net.au; and nigel.w@scenicrim.qld.gov.au
Councillor’s Comment NaDia o’CaRRoll – DivisioN 2
STATE PLANNING POLICY The Queensland Government has released for consultation its draft State Planning Policy (SPP) which will replace a number of instruments with a single consolidated document, which where necessary is supported by guidance material. The draft SPP was released on April 15, yet a multitude of guidance material, including those dealing with agriculture, biodiversity, the coastal environment, cultural heritage, air, noise and other emissions, are marked “under development” and so are not available for scrutiny or comment. The SPP will have significant indirect and direct impacts on planning in Queensland. There is only a brief window of opportunity for public submissions on a complex document which is essentially incomplete without full access to guidance material. An SPP information session is being held on the Gold Coast on May 14 (call 1800 600 163 to RSVP); website www.dsdip.qld.gov.au. HEALTHY WATERWAYS Healthy Waterways is a non-profit, non-government organisation working to protect and improve our waterways through four key programmes: science and innovation, an ecosystem health monitoring program, water by design, and a communication, education and motivation program. This year three Scenic Rim entrants have been chosen as finalists in the annual Healthy Waterways Awards: Rural and Agricultural Award (Scenic Rim Regional Council), Sustainable Education Award (Canungra State School), and Community Award (Tamborine Mountain Landcare). BUSHFIRE SAFETY DAY Tamborine Mountain Rural Fire Brigade and Scenic Rim Council will hold this event from 10am to 3pm, Sunday May 26 at 82-88 Wagonwheel Road, Boyland to provide information about preparing for a bushfire. There will be entertainment and refreshments, and children are welcome. TAMBORINE COMMUNITY FORUM Tamborine District Citizens’ Association is conducting this forum at the Tamborine Memorial Hall on Sunday May 26 from 2pm to 4pm. Local councillors and council officers from Scenic Rim Council and Logan Council will be attending. DRUMLEY WALK Congratulations to all involved with this event. The Drumley Showcase was an amazingly diverse display of talent and the walk itself was a great opportunity for everyone to learn and appreciate more about the wonderful cultural heritage of our region.

Tamborine Mountain rainfall for April, 2013
N April 1 heavy rain from a low with a thunderstorm was recorded. Thereafter there was continued instability associated with a big cloud mass offshore. This brought showers on most days and heavier rain from a trough on the 13th. On the 16th there was a trough and thunder and then it all cleared up – our big wet was over. It was succeeded by cool nights, heavy dews (due to back-radiation) and lovely clear, warm days – typical May weather! Fern Street received 155.4mm and the expected rain for April is 82mm and the average is 131mm. Rainfall for the first four months of the year remained the third highest on record exceeded only in 1974 and 1947. Mike Russell, 5545 3601

who have lost colleagues during Australia’s overseas operations. Last year, Major Jason Hayes was a member of the audience at Tamborine Mountain State School’s Anzac Day commemoration, just days before being deployed to Afghanistan. This year, he was back as a guest speaker, with a new perspective on Anzac Day after seven months during which four fellow soldiers lost their lives. “Anzac Day is a time for all Australians to reflect on almost 100 years of service and sacrifice and to remember those who are currently serving,” Major Hayes told his audience. “More than 3000 Australian Defence Force members are on operations today, including the Solomon Islands, South Sudan and many locations across the Middle East. “As I speak, many of them are preparing for their dawn services – a time to quietly contemplate the legacy of those who went before them over the last century and those who never returned to their families and friends.”

subsequent generations of Australian servicemen and women – ‘the importance of sticking by your mates, overcoming great adversity and getting the job done’. “I believe Anzac Day continues to draw large crowds because the community can relate to the values displayed by our military, past and present, and because they recognise the sacrifices of all involved in war have underpinned the stable, successful and modern nation that is Australia today,” he said. The large crowds at Tamborine Mountain’s dawn service and mid-morning parade and service were among the largest ever, according to the RSL. Almost 100 years after the landing at Anzac Cove, the names of two of Tamborine Mountain’s Gallipoli veterans, Arthur Geissmann and Edmund Jenyns were added to the Honour Roll. For the first time, Tamborine’s Anzac parade was led by the newly formed marching band under the baton of Bernie Klupfel.

Volunteering program continues to grow T Bernard State School Volunteer Program continues to grow in size and diversity and this year is focusing on helping students to improve their literacy and numeracy skills. Many of our volunteers have an association with the school, such as John Halpin (above) who previously worked here as a teacher. John now works as a professional storyteller and offers his services to local schools free of charge. St Bernard volunteers are a mixture of male and female parents, caregivers and community members, ranging in age from early 20s to late 80s. They enrich our program with life experience and provide a link between our school and community.
We encourage volunteers to first establish a ‘safe place to learn’ with their students, a time when students will be encouraged and their efforts acknowledged. For some of our students, this may be the only occasion in each week when they have the undivided attention of someone to read to, outside of their classroom. If you are interested in joining our team, please contact the school to apply for Blue Card registration for the next training program on Friday May 24, from 9:15am to11:15am. No formal qualifications are required and the techniques to be used will be provided in the training session. Sharon-Lee Henningsen St Bernard State School

Net-casting Spider – Deinopsis subrufa – Joalah National Park IME and again I am in awe of the fact that the creatures I film in the rainforest at night are going about their business in near total darkness utterly regardless of my presence. So it is with this spider, poised ready to snare whatever hapless ant, beetle, cricket, even spider passes unsuspectingly a few centimetres below its net. I have filmed the other species of Net-casting Spider described in my Wildlife of Greater Brisbane, Avella despiciens, in Palm Grove, also at night. I filmed a much bigger specimen of Deinopsis on an Eagle Heights garage door. The species occurs in eastern Australia and Tasmania.

Letters to the Editor
Readers are reminded that letters to the editor must show full name of writer for publication.
MAL CUNNINGHAM A TIRELESS INSPIRATION I cannot let the departure of Mal Cunningham as conductor of the TMO pass without comment. I came to the mountain 12 years ago as a barely passable saxophone player, with a similarly inadequate knowledge of music, and playing in the orchestra forced me to practise enough to lift my game. I knew very well that I was never going to be a world beater, but that orchestra gave me an opportunity for musical expression that I would never have found elsewhere. I fondly remember Mal's virtuosic interludes in impromptu little sessions at practice, not to mention his concert performances as a soloist, and the range of orchestral and big band arrangements that, although mostly familiar to my ears, were not at first familiar to my fingers. Mal's THINKING ABOUT THE PLANET I am writing to respond to the ‘Earth’s Climate is Forever Changing’ Letter to the Editor (TMN 23 April). As a science student, I know that the natural biology of our planet has been able to form because of a distinct balance. Biology is balance; for example, the coral in the Great Barrier Reef can only photosynthesise in a certain depth of water, and if the sea level rises too much then the coral will die. The percentage of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere may be small, but that is a part of the balance. Plants depend on carbon dioxide to photosynthesise, but that does not mean that having an abundance in the atmosphere is a good thing. We cannot control nature; we cannot control volcano eruptions that emit CO2. What we can control is human behaviour and consumption which according to a majority of climate scientists is causing global warming. I think many myths may be dispelled if you read the information on the web page Skeptical Science – getting skeptical about global warming skepticism,
obvious discipline and dedication (and more than a little patience) were and still are inspiring. Miles Davis was once called Milestrumpet, because when he played, the instrument was inseparable from the man. During the five or so years that I played with the TMO, Mal was similarly glued to the orchestra, and kept it going through thick and thin, managing a passing parade of mountain musicians, who together under Mal's guidance and baton added up to more than the sum of their parts. No matter where the orchestra goes from here, it was Mal's mighty influence and musicianship during his 13 year guardianship that kept it going, and brought so much enjoyment to so many people, which will not be easily forgotten, certainly not by me. Roy Johnson
because many arguments against climate change have been fabricated on half-truths and are not science. I personally believe that humans are contributing to climate change, but I think arguing about the topic is distracting the public from the biggest environmental threat of our time. If environmentalists are correct, than climate change is caused by consumption, pollution, and deforestation. Consumption of finite resources, pollution, and deforestation are already causing environmental disasters all over the world. The human race cannot consume at this rate forever. So why don’t we shift the focus to the issues that are potentially causing climate change, but more importantly, doing irrevocable damage as we speak? Public opinion is an amazingly powerful thing, and I can only hope that people support environmental initiatives that will protect the amazing biodiversity that we have on this planet and also on Tamborine Mountain.
