Buchholz back as Christopher casts his first vote

COTT Buchholz, LNP Member for Wright, was returned with an increased majority in Saturday’s Federal election. Mr Buchholz, who said he was humbled by the result, saw his two-party preferred majority sitting at 62 per cent on Sunday, and with absentee and postal votes still to be counted, this could further increase. “I am very grateful to everyone who put their trust in me and gave me their vote. And I am thankful to my incredible team of 600 volunteers who manned our 62 booths throughout the electorate,” said Mr Buchholz. “There is nothing more comforting than having a great team behind you.” Mr Buchholz said there were many challenges in front of the incoming government that had to be dealt with in a disciplined way, foremost of which was for it to live within its means, as all Australians had to do. He listed the carbon tax, border security, and general tax matters among the issues that the new government believed it had a mandate to address after putting them to the Australian people during the election campaign. While Saturday’s election was the second time around for Mr Buchholz, it was a different – though nevertheless rewarding – experience for first-time voter Christopher Carter, of Tamborine Village. Christopher, a year 12 student at Tamborine Mountain State High School, said he had given the matter some thought in the preceding weeks and gone in well prepared to cast his secret vote. “It’s good to have a say and it does feel like a step up into adulthood,” he said.

Hard work a fillip for Philip and his bakery

P

HILIP Rands-Trevor describes the past year as perhaps the hardest – and busiest – time of his life. In June last year, his mother and popular owner of the Eagle Heights Bakery, Joan Rands-Trevor, passed away suddenly. Trevor was confronted with the shock and grief that everyone who loses a parent has to deal with, but at the same time he had to immediately set about meeting the challenge of carrying on the business that Joan had established. He suffered an eye injury when an oven mitt hit him in the eye, as well as several other setbacks, but his refusal to quit and his determination to press on now sees him in charge of a thriving and expanding business that employs an apprentice and six casual shop assistants. “The loyal support from our customers has been simply wonderful,” he said. Trevor believes he was born to make bread. Both his parents were bakers – in Brisbane and the Gold Coast – and he has now been involved in the Eagle Heights Bakery for eight years. “For me, it’s a passion – my life’s purpose. I cannot image myself doing anything else,” he said. “I try to make every product as if I were going to eat it myself. I use no artificial ingredients and everything is of the highest quality.” One of his great joys has been the expansion of his product range, quite often as a result of suggestions or requests that come from customers. His Ezekiel bread, for instance, is a recipe that was developed following a request from a customer attending a Christian retreat on the Mountain. It is now a popular choice for some of his customers. Other new ideas developed in much the same way include his

Roman bread, avocado bread, and pear and cheese bread. Philip is assisted in his day-to-day operations by first year apprentice pastry chef Talisa Dunlop (pictured above with Philip) a former TMSHS student. She will be fully qualified after four years’ practical experience as well as formal TAFE studies. Philip says he is constantly surprised at the good things that happen to him. “Just recently my mixer was on its last legs and I was wondering how I could replace it, when out of the blue someone came along and offered me an amazingly good mixer at an incredibly good price,” he said. Philip donates his leftover bread products to two local churches which use them in their food outreach programs. While Joan has been gone now for just over a year, Philip still finds her an inspiration and a help. “When I have a challenge or something is not going quite the way I might want it to, I stop and ask myself what Mum would do in the same situation. More often than not I then come up with a good answer,” he said.

Friesian horses a grand sight to behold

new and exciting attraction at this year’s Tamborine Mountain Show will be the lunchtime display by a group of elegant and powerful Friesian horses. The Friesian Performance Troupe will showcase the strength, intelligence and grace of these beautiful, coal-black animals at the show on Saturday 21 September. Its repertoire will include a quadrille and pas de deux to music, as well as a display of tricks and jumping.

Friesian horses originated in Friesland, Netherlands. Although they resemble light draft horses, they are graceful and nimble for their size. It is believed that during the Middle Ages their ancestors were in great demand as war horses throughout continental Europe. Though the breed almost became extinct on more than one occasion, the modern day Friesian horse is growing in number and popularity.

Eyes – seeing and being seen

HERE is an old proverb which says that eyes are windows to the soul, and certainly eye contact between individuals of the same species, and even between individuals of different species, is an important form of communication. Eyes not only provide an individual with vision, but the appearance of eyes affects the way the individual is perceived and an important factor in this is eye colour. Eye colour is determined by pigments within the iris and also by the way the eye structure reflects light waves. The individuals of most species, including humans, have brown eyes due to the presence of a dark pigment called melanin. Species which usually have coloured eyes contain bright iris pigments such as carotenoids. However, even among dark-eyed species there are variations and mutations which produce individuals with coloured eyes. In humans the most common eye colour is brown and the least common is green. Eye colour is an inherited trait that is governed by the complex interaction of a multiple of genes; the Mendelian theory of blue recessive, brown dominant eye colour is simplistic and inaccurate. There are a range of human eye colours: amber, blue, grey, brown, green and hazel. Blue eyes are not produced by a blue pigment, but by a lack of melanin in the front of the iris. When light waves strike the iris the structure of the iris absorbs the longer light wavelengths but scatters the shorter light wavelengths. This is called Rayleigh scattering and it is the same process which makes the sky appear blue. The genetics that

produce blue eyes does so by essentially switching off the production of melanin from the front of the iris. Recent research suggests that all blueeyed people may be the descendents of a single individual with this switch-off mutation. Green eyes seem to be produced by different genes and processes which produce structural changes in the pigmentation. Unlike blue eye genes which simply switch off brown pigmentation, green eye genes seem to switch from brown to green pigmentation. An interesting aspect is the diversity of hair colour, eye colour and skin tones that developed within a few tens of thousands of years in dark haired, dark-eyed and dark skinned humans who migrated north from Africa and wandered widely through Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North Africa. Mummies in Asia have been shown to have coloured hair and even Genghis Khan was described as green-eyed and red-haired. Since there is no survival advantage in eye colour diversity, the likely reason coloured eyes became so widespread so quickly, was simply that a person with rare, unusual, beautifully coloured eyes would be more attractive to potential mates. This preference would be even more significant in a population with an imbalance between the sexes, as could occur with hunter/gatherers which had a high attrition rate of males.

TRAVELLING PLACES with Gina

T’S difficult to think of a better way to appreciate the diversity of Australia than embarking on an epic transcontinental journey aboard the Indian Pacific. Last week I was lucky enough to join the train from Adelaide to Sydney – what a wonderful experience. Not only do you enjoy a sense of the vastness of this country you also meet fellow travellers from around the globe. After all, the Indian Pacific is a true journey of contrasts - it takes you through the heights of the majestic Blue Mountains and across the barren expanse of the Nullarbor Plain, to lush vineyards and vast goldmines, and from cities of 4 million to ghost towns of just four citizens. Named for the two oceans the train encounters on its journey, the Indian Pacific travels between Perth and Sydney or vice versa in a spectacular 4352km journey. Travelling from Perth, you will cross the lush Avon Valley and WA wheatfields before starting your trek across the Nullarbor. Your first stop is Kalgoorlie – a traditional Australian goldrush town. Stepping off next at the isolated outpost of Cook, you have a rare opportunity to experience a real-life ghost town before arriving in Adelaide the following morning to tour the Festival City or sample South Australia’s rich food and wine culture at the Southern Hemisphere’s largest fresh produce markets. Guests are free to choose between one of the complimentary Off Train Excursions at Broken Hill. Have a drink at Australia’s most famous pub, get inspired at the gallery of celebrated artist Pro Hart or explore the city best known for its ties with the Flying Doctors and stories of riches found and lost. From here, the Indian Pacific travels through some of Australia's most productive farming country and into the arid Outback as the sun sets. The finale of the journey takes you through the spectacular Blue Mountains, reaching Sydney by late morning. Thanks to the recent introduction of all-inclusive travel with Great Southern Rail, your standard Platinum or Gold Service fare now includes all on-board refreshments including soft drinks, beers, high-quality wines and base spirits, as well as a superb regionally-based menu with flexible meal times.

TOOLS STOLEN IN BREAK & ENTER Between September 3 and 4 offenders have broken into a shed at Jourdana Drive and stolen a large quantity of builders’ tools: The owner says the tools are valued at between $12,000 and $15,000. Most of the tools and boxes have DMC written on them in black Nikko pen ink. TOURIST’S BACKPACK SNATCHED Now this one really annoys me! It is alleged a male person on a bike too small for him (as described by the victim) has ridden past and snatched a tourist’s backpack containing an SLR camera, camcorder and assorted property on Main Western Road around 1.30 on Friday, August 30 in broad daylight. The victim was walking and taking pictures with another camera on Main Western Road between the hang glider and Rotary lookouts when the offender struck. The victim walked back to his car and then drove around searching but could not find the

ARSON OF BALI HUT AT BOTANIC GARDENS Last, and another shocker, is the incident in which morons set fire to the grass thatched roof of the Bali hut at the Botanic Gardens in Forsythia Drive overnight on September 3. Hopefully, someone who witnessed this incident will talk about it and we can tie it up quickly. Anyone with information relating to the above incidents please contact us urgently so that the offenders can be stocked in the town square … hang on, wrong century … I take that back … located and dealt with according to the law.

Councillor’s Comment Nigel Waistell – DivisioN 1

COUNCIL PLANNING SCHEME Council is in the process of amalgamating its three Planning Schemes into one. Phase one of the communication process was a series of one-on-one interviews with individuals who represent a cross section of the community. Phase two is a series of community forums with the individuals who were interviewed in phase one to confirm that the messages given in phase one were correctly received. These forums will occur at the end of September. Phase three will be a series of community workshops. Details of the latter are yet to be published. DRAINAGE For the 2012-13 budget, I was able to increase the drainage budget from $200,000 to $500,000 and I am hopeful that a good proportion of this increase will be spent on Tamborine Mountain. Council is currently conducting a review of drainage on the Mountain and projects will be re-prioritised. As a result, some projects will be brought forward into this and next financial year. Once the review is completed and decisions made, I will inform you through this column. YOUNGMAN DOG PARK Walking access to the Youngman Dog Park has been a problem for a while now and it was planned to construct steps and a rail directly down the slope from Geissmann Drive. After consultation with Tamborine Mountain Landcare, it has now been decided to construct a pathway through the trees which will contour the slope. Not only should this be more attractive but it will be easier on the legs. WASTE TRANSFER STATION The operating hours of the Waste Transfer Station have been changed to 9am to 5pm, six days a week, with Wednesday being a closed day. This is a six-month trial, with a review being conducted in February 2014. If you have any thoughts on the new timings, you should submit them to Council either through the Customer Service Officer at the library, or email to mail@scenicrim.qld.gov.au. TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN SWIMMING POOL The swimming pool will open for the 2013-14 season on Saturday 21 September and the season concludes in March 2014. Opening times are: Weekdays 6am-6pm; Saturdays 8am-6pm; Sundays 9am-4pm For more information on Council pools, admission prices and learn to swim classes visit Council’s website www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/swimming-pools. 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: • Contact me and I will report it for you; or • Phone Council on 07 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. CONSULTATION The next consultation in the Library will be on Monday 7 October, 4pm- 5pm. Please note the change of timings. 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

INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND CHARGES The State Government’s proposed changes to infrastructure planning and charging regulations include a number of changes that could have the effect of reducing the scope of financial and infrastructure contributions required of developers. The result would be to saddle ratepayers with even more financial burden and/or a lower standard of infrastructure. I would like to commend council officers for preparing a comprehensive and concise council submission. NATURE CONSERVATION ACT AMENDMENTS The Queensland National Park estate represents just 4.8 per cent of the state and includes a number of significant national parks in the Scenic Rim. The cardinal principle in managing national parks has been to preserve our natural heritage and this was also the intention of previous far-sighted politicians who have gazetted national parks since 1908. The current set of proposed amendments to the Nature Conservation Act undermines the present management principles of national parks, abolishes the requirement for management plans and reduces public consultation. For further information about making a submission visit www.wildlife.org.au Submissions close 13 September; email hcsc@parliament.qld.gov.au (these are my personal views). NEW SRRC PLANNING SCHEME FORUMS These are to be held in The Centre, Beaudesert on 25 September and Vonda Youngman Centre, North Tamborine on 26 September; doors open at 5pm and the forum commences 6pm. RSVP by 19 September. ROAD NAME CHANGES After a period of consultation, Council has renamed two service roads in Wonglepong, Mundoolun Connection (service) Road and Beaudesert-Nerang (service) Road to Mahoney Road and Caningera Road respectively. ROAD INFORMATION To check on road network work, please refer to SRRC website http://www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/roads-update SWIMMING POOLS Council pools will open on Saturday 21 September until the end of March 2014.

Concern at development changes CENIC Rim Council has aired concerns about the long-term impact on the community from proposed changes to the State’s infrastructure planning and charging regulations for new developments. The State Government sought feedback on proposed policy changes outlined in its Infrastructure Planning and Charging Framework Review Discussion Paper, with Council outlining its concerns in a formal submission. Key changes proposed include a reduction in the scope of community infrastructure a developer may be required to construct or fund as part of a project and the framework for the levying and offsetting of Council infrastructure charges. “The changes proposed under the reforms will have a significant impact on Council,” said Planning and Development Committee chair, Cr Jennifer Sanders. “A reduction in the scope of chargeable infrastructure is likely to have financial and resourcing implications for Council and impact on our long-term sustainability. “These issues aside, we are also concerned that over the long term these

S

changes will result in poor planning outcomes for our communities as the region grows.” Mayor John Brent said it was appropriate for developers of new land estates ‘to pay their own way’ by contributing to the cost of infrastructure which would be utilised by the new residents they attracted. “We are keen to work in partnership with the State and the development industry to deliver sustainable growth and affordable housing opportunities for our region,” Cr Brent said. “However, we do not believe our ratepayers should be unfairly saddled with subsidising new development. “By reducing our capacity to require developers to build or upgrade infrastructure as part of their projects or to levy appropriate charges for the provision of this by Council, the burden of funding this instead falls to existing ratepayers. “It is a false economy as infrastructure such as additional parkland and open space, road improvements to accommodate increased traffic from new development and the connectivity of new footpaths to the wider network could all be impacted.”

Local community improvements CENIC Rim Council is delivering a range of infrastructure improvements on Tamborine Mountain including drainage, footpaths and walkways. A section of footpath on the western side of Main Street, near Yuulong Road, will be upgraded, adding to previous works carried out two years ago. “The project was originally slated to start in the first half of the year but was delayed due to ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald and the need to carry out more pressing restoration works in its aftermath,” said Mayor John Brent. Construction work will generally occur between 6am and 4pm and some on-street parking may be restricted during various stages of construction. “Efforts will be made to keep disruption to businesses, pedestrians and motorists to a minimum, particularly during the Springtime on the Mountain festival,” said Cr Brent. Other minor works will also be carried out in the surrounding area, with motorists

S

and pedestrians asked to observe traffic advisory signage and directions from site workers. Cr Brent said Council had completed rehabilitation work on the Judith Wright Walkway in Eagle Heights Road, which was funded under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements by the State and Federal Governments. Work was also well-advanced on improvements to drainage infrastructure in Cliff Way. Council had also finalised the design work for drainage upgrades in Magnetic Drive, with construction due to start in October. Cr Brent said $160,000 worth of drainage upgrades in the area surrounding Arenga and Corypha Courts would also occur in the coming months. “Further improvements in Beacon Road to enhance work carried out in January are in the early stages of design, with construction planned for later this financial year.”

Leaf-tailed Gecko – Saltuarius swaini, MacDonald National Park O frequently do we see Leaf-tailed Geckos when filming at night that we tend to remark on their absence. Apart from Australia, these masters of camouflage only occur in Madagascar; each country having endemic species. This specimen has completely re-grown its tail; the indication being the discontinuity in the body patterning. We mostly see Leaf-taileds on trees where some have virtually merged with the bark. On two successive night shoots we encountered a Leaf-tailed on the path which allowed some different camera angles. Please check out my just re-launched website www.biodiversity.com.au with its vastly increased content.

Tamborine Mountain rainfall for August, 2013

HE expected rain for August at Fern St. is 42mm and the long term average is 56mm, and August is the driest month on the Mountain. This August, apart from a few dews, there were only two falls, one recorded on the 15th and the other on the 18th. They were due to winter troughs and the first was associated with some thunder. As the Mountain dries out there is danger from such storms of fires started by dry lightning strike. The usual high pressure cells succeeded each other across the continent bringing lovely sunny days but cold nights. There were a few frosts recorded for August. Our thermometers registered 5.5C on the morning of the 21st but that was the lowest we measured in June and July. Because rainfall totals were so low I have put in decimal places on the map.

environment and sustainability garden project. “This is great because the Environment and Sustainability Focus Group has already exhausted its budget,” said Mr Smith. “Our new garden – raised garden beds, worm farms, vertical gardens, shade house and work bench – will start to take shape in the coming weeks.” Competition link: http://www.disney.com.au/DisneyChan nel/friends-for-change/index.php
