Bronwyn Wade- Village Manager We had a wonderful morning for the Biggest Morning Tea.

What a great result we raised $877.55. It was lovely to see us

all come together as a community for such a wonderful

cause. Thank you to all who helped on the day especially

Graeme & Margaret for allowing us to use their garage &

Paul & Bernice for the Marquee.

We now have caught up with all our forms and we

appreciate you’re understanding. If anyone is not sure of

how to submit their periodic payment for monthly fee please

call the office.

We have the monthly Luncheon coming up on the 26th of

June we hope all can attend. Ron has suggested “Xmas in

July” for the following month. Please discuss at the Luncheon

maybe Battai Barn they have a great lunch and

entertainment. Please let me know and I will put a list up for

the following month.

The NBN is now connected up to unit 117. Please arrange

with your preferred provider to get your own telephone

connected example- Telstra, Optus etc. The village phone

Line out function will be disconnected on the 3rd July so this

means the village phone is only for internal not external you

will have to purchase a phone. Please call the office if not

clear.

Thanks to all for making me feel so welcome!

Ron Murray – Sales Manager

Welcome to winter @ Walka Grange – Brrrrr!

Over the next two months we will have a further 32

New residents with us.

Thank you to Garry & Albert for their “Queenslander”

Impression – about as exciting as watching the “knees

Brothers” on their daily afternoon walk.

Stop press: A third “knees brother” big Brian from

Villa 7 to join the daily double.

Sales are still strong and provided we continue to get good

weather. We should make our target of 110 villas “out of the

ground” by Xmas.

Project Manager Chris

Unicomb Construction Update

Also a warm welcome to our latest residents:

Peter & June Smith – Villa 94

Rhonda Spencer – Villa 95

Barbara & Ron – Villa 101 (Waiting for Villa

106 to be completed)

As always, there is much planned for

construction at Walka Grange over the

coming weeks and months.

Work is either underway or planned for and

near the community centre and the rail

passage… just when some residents think the

dust had settled in their area, we return!

The next stage of dwellings is due to

commence mid-June.

This will see construction extending along the

rail passage and will primarily include free

standing villas. Presently, the acoustic wall is

taking shape along this rail corridor and

when complete landscaping will be added

here.

Following this it is anticipated August will see

the completion of the triangle area below

the community centre.

A large common area has been

incorporated here and will include

vegetable gardens for residents to

coordinate.

And finally, plans for the community centre

have progressed to the next stage, with the

architect now working with the engineer to

complete design plans and the demolition of

the existing dwelling has begun.

Kind Regards,

Chris Unicomb

SONGS OF THE SEVENTIES

CROSS WORD TIME!

Whether you were born in the 1950’s or the 1990’s or somewhere in between, chances are

you’ve heard most of these classic hit songs from the 1970’s. Each blank line represents a word

missing in the title. Note: There are no blank spaces in the crossword. If the answer was Love song,

for example, you would simply write in LOVESONG.

Once you have completed the cross word as best as you can make sure you stop by the office

to tick off the answers if you get all the answers right you will receive a sweet reward.

How well do you remember the seventies?

Good luck!!
