Community Consultation for Draft Town PlanScenic Rim Regional Council

commenced community consultation sessions for the Canungra Town Plan last month.

Council officers addressed several community groups, including the Canungra Chamber of Commerce and the Canungra AH&I Society to provide details of the 20 year vision for Canungra.

SRRC Manager of Planning, Scott Turner, addressed over 60 residents at a public meeting at Canungra State School on Thursday 22nd November.

Mr Turner said the Draft Town Plan incorporates 800 hectares of the Canungra township and surrounding areas, allowing for population growth from 750 in the year 2012 to 3,000 in 2031.

The scope of the consultation is:• To gauge the level of support for the key

strategies for Canungra and consider any feedback/comments.

• To determine the preferred plan-ning scenario for managing growth in Canungra (these are outlined in the Draft Canungra Local Planning Study and Discussion Paper).

• To seek feedback on the draft planning study that will inform the new planning scheme.“The Town Plan has to reference

the Community Plan,” Mr Turner said, “We also have to take into account the

topography of the area - we don’t want houses in flood prone areas and we don’t want residential housing on very steep slopes.”

Several people at the meeting expressed concern regarding the town’s future water supply, however Mr Turner said the Town Plan itself can not address the water issue as this is not a responsibility currently under Council jurisdication. Council is, however, working with the State water entities to address this issue.

Following the consultation process, local planning strategies and land use scenarios will be reviewed and finalised and the new Scenic Rim Planning Scheme will be submitted to Council for approval.

The Draft Canungra Local Planning Study and Discussion Paper are available online, at Council libraries in Beaudesert and Canungra and at Council’s Customer Service Centre in Beaudesert.

Members of the community can submit feeback via Council’s web site or by filling in and posting the discussion paper to Scenic Rim Regional Council, Land Use Planning, PO Box 25, BEAUDESERT QLD 4285.

Feedback regarding the Draft Town Plan should be submitted to Council no later than 5pm on Friday 14th December 2012.

Vintage Vans Hold Christmas in CanungraOver 55 vintage carvans descended on

Canungra Showgrounds on 16th and 17th November for their annual Christmas in Canungra weekend.

Jean and Kevin Pellick travelled from the

Gold Coast for the weekend and said there were people from as far away at Coffs Harbour and the Sunshine Coast for the annual event.

“We love Canungra because of the relaxed country atmosphere,” said Jean.

The vintage caravan enthusiasts are members of a forum on vintagecaravans.com - an infor-mative and social web site which focuses on Australian built pre-1970 caravans and teardrop trailers.

Jean and Kevin Pellick and Cathie Miles relax during their ‘Christmas in Canungra’ weekend at Canungra Showgrounds. Jean and Kevin towed the 1968 Olympic caravan with their 1959 Cadillac.

Canungra Businesses Shine at Awardscontinued from page 1

The 2012 awards were an initiative of Council in partnership with the region’s combined chambers of commerce repre-senting the communities of Beaudesert, Boonah, Kooralbyn, Tamborine Mountain and Canungra.

Canungra Chamber of Commerce Presi-dent, Shane Stevenson said the Chamber was proud to be involved for the first time as a sponsor of the Scenic Rim Business Excellence Awards.

“It is great opportunity for the Cham-bers of the Scenic Rim to work together to support each other and, therefore, support all businesses within the region,” he said.

“There are very diverse and unique business interests across the Scenic Rim and the Canungra Chamber of Commerce believes it is important to support the indi-vidual businesses and business communi-ties so they prosper and develop success-fully,” Shane said.

Mayor John Brent said the Scenic Rim Business Excellence Awards provided an opportunity to gather as a region and celebrate the successes of the business community.

Canungra’s History…wonglepong counTRy women’S aSSociaTion

By Chloe PickardThe Wonglepong Country Women’s

Association has been active in the Scenic Rim for 87 years, starting from 1925.

In 1923, Sir Matthew Nathan, Gover-nor of Queensland, encouraged wife of Tamborine Shire Chairman Mrs E (Anne) Franklin, to form a CWA branch in the area. ‘Sarah Vale’, the land where the hall still stands, had been bought by Henry Franklin in 1872. The Wonglepong branch was formed with nine members and Mrs Anne Franklin as President. Rain often kept members from attend-ing as there were no nearby bridges over Canungra Creek and very few cars. The meeting place started to rotate from member to member in 1933. The branch got its own telephone line in 1926. In 1929, the idea of a proper meeting place was raised and a building fund was created to make a hall. This was paid off in 1935 with the sum of £58. A quarter acre of land by the entrance of Sarah Vale was chosen for the site, and Mr E Frank-lin allowed the branch a 99 year lease. He also supplied the stumps that the hall would rest on, and with the help of local volunteers the hall was built.

Over the years, Sarah Vale and the Wonglepong CWA were visited by many other distinguished guests. The Queensland Country Woman’s Associa-tion state president Mrs Ruth B Fairfax and Deputy State President Mrs Graham Mylne came to a garden party held at Sarah Vale. Then wheelchair-bound

Miss Sylvia Corner came to speak to

the branch. She had been injured helping people in Europe during World War 1. From her the group won a tiny doll dressed in clothes knitted by Queen Mary, which now rests in the Queensland CWA state office.

Since its conception, the branch has made multiple donations to charities and helped people worldwide and in the community. During World War 2, it lodged members of the Navy and Air Force in the community with the help of the Victoria League as well as becom-ing a Comforts Branch and assisting the Red Cross. It has repeatedly donated to causes such as the ambulance committe and Careflight. To this day, the branch still helps those in need.

For more information about the Wonglepong CWA, contact Denise Blyth on 5580 5435.

In Brief...op Shop helping local FamilieS

Every year the Canungra Op Shop distributes a portion of it’s profits back into the community. In previous years they have assisted the Canungra Owls Soccer Club and Canungra Carols (run by the Moriarty Park Committee).

This year the Op Shop distributed funds to several local families with medical issues. Op Shop Treasurer, Michelle Aldridge, said while they were unable to distribute cash, they could pay for school uniforms, vouchers for groceries and other items to ease the financial burden on families.

“We are grateful for the support we have received and it is wonderful to be able to provide support to individu-als and community organisations through our profits,” said Michelle.

Remembering Our Fallen HeroesBy Chloe Pickard

Approximately 50 people attended the Remembrance Day service held on 11th November in Canungra’s D J Smith Park.

Canungra RSL Vice President Keith Cogzell led the ceremony and said he was glad to see so many people attend.

Kokoda Barracks chaplain Padre Don Parker led prayers. Local bugler Tim Hunt played the Last Post. Canungra Primary School captains Regan Lowry and Emily Hughes read In Flanders Fields and We Shall Keep The Faith.

Canungra RSL Services club president Bruce Williams said the day was to honour all war dead as well as Australian soldiers.

“Today we remember their bravery, their sense of duty to country and their sacrifice which makes up the Australian legend,” he said.

Wreaths were laid by representatives from the RSL, the Scenic Rim Council, Canungra State School, the Canungra Chamber of Commerce, the Army, the Royal Australian Navy and The Royal Australian Airforce.

Renowned Horseman to Visit TamborineIt has been two years since interna-

tionally recognised horseman, Franklin Levinson, visited Australia and he has included Canungra in his 2013 tour.

Local horse instructor and ‘Nag Nanny’, Teena Woodall, will host the first Level I Facilitator Clinic at her Tambo-rine facility. It is a four day clinic which runs from 10 - 13 January 2013.

Franklin grew up with horses. At the age of thirteen he was the youngest ‘regis-tered’ polo player in the US. By the time he was 17 he was training polo ponies for hire. Later he developed a passion for teaching the language, psychology, needs and nature of horses. Franklin discovered early on that knowledge about horses would enhance the experience that all his

students had with their horses. With his own unique style of horse-

manship and the increasingly popular therapy that is EFL, Franklin is sure to inspire, educate and enlighten those who attend his clinic.

Some of what sets Franklin apart from other trainers is that Franklin’s goal and agenda with any horse is the development of ‘trust.’ No relationship can develop and flourish without mutual trust and respect at its very core. Franklin teaches the skills, attitudes and paradigms essen-tial to developing this sort of successful relationship with horses, and between humans as well.

MAJOR UPGRADE FOR MORANS FALLS LOOKOUT IN NATIONAL PARK

Member for Beaudesert, Jon Krause, said the Morans Falls Lookout has been given a $52,000 upgrade and make-over, providing spectacular views of the 80-metre falls and the scenic Albert River Valley.

“Morans Falls is one of the most visited national parks sites in the Gold Coast hinterland, but it’s condition had declined due to erosion and an outdated design,” Mr Krause said.

“The improvement project included new seating and a rest area for visitors; a sealed track all the way to the lookout; stairs to provide access for resort guests; structural improvements to the lookout itself; and updated interpretative signage.

“And the stand out feature of the upgrade is the rock walls. Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) staff went to great lengths to find rock from local sources to make sure the walls fit in with the surrounding environment.”

Under the project, landscaping works also removed unsafe hazards like tree roots, while better-designed and improved drainage will ensure any erosion is kept to a minimum.

“This is great news for our area given the

importance of National Parks and tourism to our local economy” Mr Krause said.

National Parks Minister Steve Dickson said Eco-tourism is a major part of the State Government’s plan for growing the tourism pillar of Queensland’s economy.

“This is why we are working to increase opportunity for operators across our national park estate,” Mr Dickson said.

“Lamington National Park’s walking tracks and other public facilities are hugely popular, with visitors from all around Australia and overseas.”

Lamington National Park is one of the most popular national parks in Queensland and attracts approximately half a million visitors each year.

Seniors’ Club Kicks off at Beechmont

Beechmont Seniors’ Club, the brainchild of Derek Friend, is to be a weekly event held on Monday after-noons at The Hall On Graceleigh.

The first meeting will be on Monday 14th January 2013 from 12 noon until 3pm.

The club will offer local seniors the opportunity to meet and get involved in a number of activities includ-ing table tennis, badminton and cards. More activities may will be offered once organisers assess the demand.

The $3 weekly entry fee includes tea and biscuits.“I expect some people will just want to come and

have a chat, but we will have two table tennis tables, a badminton net and card tables available for all who attend,” said Derek.

“I’m not exactly sure what activities those who attend will want to be involved in. I figure to start with what we have now and add activities based on the interest shown by those who attend the club events. For those who come along please be sure to let me know what kinds of things you would like to do at the club,” he said.Where: The Hall On Graceleigh, Beechmont Rd, BeechmontWhen: Mondays from 12 noon until 3pm starting from Monday 14th January 2013Cost: $3 (includes tea and biscuits)

If you are interested in joining the club, helping with activities or would just like to chat with Derek about it, email him at [email protected] or contact him by telephone on 0457 803 045.

SPONSORSHIP TO SUPPORT LOCAL EVENTSGrants of up to $5,000 will be available

to the organisers of major events in the region under new sponsorship guidelines adopted by Council.

Council allocated $50,000 to an event sponsorship program in 2012/13 as part of its new Regional Events Strategy which is aimed at supporting existing major events and helping others to get off the ground.

“Tourism is one of the pillars of the Scenic Rim’s economy and the impor-tance of visitation to the region is well documented,” Corporate and Community Services Committee chair Cr Nigel Waist-ell said.

“The staging of festivals and events plays a key role in attracting visitors to the region. These events also have a positive

impact on the host communities.”Cr Waistell said the sponsorship

program would help to deliver and attract events that showcased the region and supported the local economy.

“The program has been developed to support events that offer opportunities to promote the Scenic Rim’s industries and attract participants from outside the area,” he said.

“The guidelines Council has adopted will also ensure potential applicants have a clear understanding of the sponsorship evaluation process.”

Event organisers should contact coun-cil’s Tourism and Economic Development Team on 5540 5111 for more information

We are Part of the Solar FamilyBy Bill Zastrow

For all of those people passing or using our Canungra Sports and Recre-ation Reserve Grounds Inc you will have noticed that one half of our six bay shed roof is now covered by solar panels.

We are extremely pleased to say that the Gambling Community Benefit Fund supported our organisation by providing us with a Solar Grant of $26,250.

The full use of our new solar system should dramatically reduce our electric-ity consumption and show a substantial reduction in our power bill now and in the future.

Everyone involved with our organisa-tion would like to thank the Gambling Community Benefit fund for the very generous support and assistance in this matter.

The Canungra Sports and Recreation Reserve Grounds Inc received a Solar Grant of $26,250.

Letters to the Editor

DEADLINEThe deadline for the January edition of The Canungra

Times is 12 noon on Monday 24th December 2012.The January edition will be distributed on Friday 4th

January 2013.

I’m sure as I get older, time goes faster! This year has seemed like about five minutes of my life but looking back so much has happened!

Christmas and the New Year are almost upon us. The festive season is a time for celebration, for getting together with family and friends to celebrate new life, new beginnings, and to look forward to the symbollic fresh start that each new year brings.

Some of my best memories this year arose from unex-pected kindesses from people.

What immediately comes to mind is Rae Hope’s habit (even when she was very ill) of sending a text to friends out of the blue: ‘Remembering great memories brings a wonderful smile. Thinking of you.’

Those small acts can mean a lot and take no effort. Telling someone they look good, giving someone a hug, offering to help out when it is needed, or just offering a smile or a wave as a greeting to a neighbour as they pass by - all these things can make a real difference to somone’s day.

Life is here to be lived, enjoyed and cherished and everything we can do to make someone else’s life easier or happier has to be a good thing. It helps the person on the receiving end, but it also helps the person who is giving. Everyone wins.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone and remember to practice random acts of kindness!

changeS To canungRa libRaRy houRSDear Editor,In 2013 there are 12 public holidays, 11 of these are library days at Canungra Library

and six of these are on a Monday.What is the point of these statistical revelations?Well for starters, before Library days and times changed on 3rd September 2012 from

a Tuesday afternoon to a Monday morning, hours of Library services lost have doubled. We lose 43.5 hours overall per annum as opposed to 22.5 before the change. And that’s only for this year; the next four years does not get any better.

Wouldn’t be so bad if the Library was open full time, considering we are only open part-time we cannot afford to loose those extra hours, effectively going backwards in Services previously provided

In writing to the Council I was informed that survey forms were filled in during July 2012 requesting a morning session and apparently the majority of people requested a Monday morning; I’m wondering if this was the case and if so if people were aware of the loss of Library hours they would loose.

Having second thoughts? Then please contact the Council in writing or speak with the Library staff if you would like this reviewed for change as the trial for Monday morning opening finished on 3rd December 2012.

Personally I can put up with being a little static; however, going backwards in services is definitely not an option.

TMC SPEECH NIGHT – as another year comes to a close 2012 has been a difficult year economically

and financially for many Australians and other countries around the world. Many businesses have struggled and suffered. Many independent schools have felt the financial burdens from decreasing student numbers – some have even closed their doors. When times get difficult, this is the real test of strength and success.

Tamborine Mountain College has grown again this year with a total student population of 175. The Year 9 group is the largest, as many families have expressed that they let their child make the secondary schooling choice for Year 8 and it was only after considerable disappoint-ment at other schools that they decided to bring their child to Tamborine Mountain College for a better, caring, superior education – and how they wished that they had made this decision right from the start!

Tamborine Mountain College is still a small school and even as more and more people value this and wish to become part of its family, it will always remain small with a safe learning environment.

Tamborine Mountain College has had an excellent year, the pinnacle being the Opening of the “Prof Jack Walton Resource Centre”. This is a wonderful addition to the College and its students and teachers are extremely happy.

Mrs Melbourne, in her 11th year as Principal, was very pleased to announce that again this year there were many successes:• Year 12 students have the real world on their

doorstep – and no doubt some difficult times ahead which will require the same qualities that they have learnt at Tamborine Mountain College. “Victory & Valour” will see them through most situations in life. So not only is an excellent education important but the sort of person you have become over the years. Success educationally is highlighted by several guaranteed entries into university before OPs are even announced! College Captain Mary Mineo has also received the

prestigious Griffith University Academic Excellence Bursary!

• Two Year 11 students have been selected into the GUESTS program whereby they will study University courses next year with guaranteed entry into that course with a successful achievement.

• Sporting achievements have again been many, as part of the Independent Sporting Association for the major carnivals of swim-ming, cross-country and athletics. Several students have gone onto Regional represen-tation and even State level championships.

• The College Equestrian team is still going strong.

• Interschool sport in HIA (Hinterland Inde-pendent Alliance) with Hills and Kooral-byn Schools continues to grow and TMC students are growing from the experience.

• The Drama Dept presented “The Wizard of Oz” to local primary schools and the moun-tain community. It has become a tradition

and is an important community event.College Leaders for next year were announced

at the College’s Speech Night held at the Vonda Youngman Centre on Friday 16th November:• Captains - Jessica Leighton and Mackenzie

Waring.• Prefects – Ethan Kent, Jessica Tyrer, Grace

Seagrove.College life is truly wonderful – trips to USA,

Palazzo Versace for the Year 12 Formal again this year, Theatre productions in Brisbane, Art Exhibitions, camps, excursions, theme parks, recreational sports such as sailing, skating, bowling, golf; college lunchtime clubs – book club, game club, gym, choir, chess, Duke of Edinburgh club, science club etc. The Tambo-rine Mountain College DVD 2012 captures and records all those great moments this year.

And next year the College plans to take off to Europe and the Snow!

Congratulations to all students who received awards on the night!

Thanks also to Groundsman Trevor Skelton who ensures everything is organised so that the working bees are success-ful; and to Dave Staver, who brought a bobcat which made a difference very quickly! The efforts by all who attended were greatly appreciated.Friday 16Th November - disTricT rugby league

By Steve Moriarty, CoachThe rugby league team travelled to St Bernard’s State School for the

annual District Rugby League competition.The first game was against St Bernard’s with Canungra dominating

play from the kick-off, combining some great attack with outstanding defence to run out easy winners by 38 points to nil.

The second game was against Tamborine Mountain State School and was played under very hot conditions. This game ended up being the grand final as Tamborine had also defeated St Bernard’s earlier in the day. The game was an intense affair with both teams determined to win the title of District champions. Canungra managed to score first to take a 6 nil lead and eventually wore the opposition down to run out comfortable winners 26 points to nil.

This result ensured that the Canungra team are again District champi-ons and it is worth noting that they did not have a point scored against them in either of their matches, such was their commitment in defence. The team are to be congratulated on the fitness, skill and sportsmanship displayed throughout the day.

The Canungra team were: Regan Lowry (c), Callum Mann, Jasp leach, BJ Donnan, Thomas Sheppard, Callum Bayne, Zak Tilley, Zac Johnston, Brent Wilson, Tommas Skerke, Jasper Boland, Kaileb McConnell, Aiden Bell-McNee, Joshua Aiken, Kade Leach, Oliver Walker and Ethan May.

Results:Canungra 38 def St Bernard’s 0Tries: C. Mann (3), R. Lowry (2), B. Wilson and K. LeachGoals: B. Wilson(2), C. Mann, C. Bayne and O. WalkerCanungra 26 def Tamborine Mountain 0Tries: C. Mann(3), R. Lowry and Z. JohnstonGoals: C. Mann, C. Bayne, R. LowryThese results mean that the Canungra team are undefeated in 2012

having scored a massive 210 points in five matches while conceding only 26 points. Congratulations and well done boys on this outstand-ing achievement! The boys would like to acknowledge and thank those parents who provided transport and support during all of their matches this year. You are very much a part of our team. Thank you!

saTurday 1sT december 2012 - p&c Family Xmas discoThe P&C Family Xmas Disco was the P&C’s last fundraiser for the year. Everyone was welcome, even if they didn’t have children at the school. It was a great night, with students, staff and community members support-ing the disco.

Kids Booked Up These Summer Holidays

Kids are invited to enter a world of magic, legends and fairytales when they join the Summer Reading Club at Scenic Rim libraries.

Children of all ages are welcome to participate in the program, which was developed by the State Library of Queensland to encourage kids to keep reading over the long summer break.

This year’s theme, ‘Untangled Tales’, focuses on multicultural folk, legends, myths and fairytales and invites children to explore and untangle magical and wonderful tales from around the world.

Current and new library members can pick up their free Summer Reading Club pack including activities, freebies and a ‘reading log’ from any library branch.

Kids are encouraged to use the log to record their summer reading and drop it in to any local library branch during the program for the chance to pick up some great prizes.

A range of free Summer Reading Club activities will be happening across most library branches to keep kids captivated with reading over the holiday period.

The program officially launches on Saturday 1st December and from Monday 3rd December kids can log on to the national Summer Reading Club website at www.summerreadingclub.org.au to access games, prizes and lots of fun activities.

The holiday program wraps up on Friday 25th January – so pick up your free Summer Reading Club fun pack from your local library and get reading!

Last year almost 20,000 children from all across Australia registered to take part in the national program and over 150,000 books were read.

For further information on the Summer Reading Club, Scenic Rim libraries and holiday activities, visit www.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/libraries or phone the Young People’s Librarian, Renee Mason on 5540 5141.

Beechmont Ready To Sparkle For ChristmasThe hills of Beechmont will once again

be the backdrop for an evening of music and Christmas festivities as the Beech-mont State School P&C Association hosts “Carols on the Mountain” on Saturday 15th December.

This year’s event, held at the Hall on Graceleigh, will be bigger and better with the inclusion of markets from 3pm, followed by carols, the lantern parade and fireworks (weather permitting).

Tasty food will be available and a licensed bar will be operating. There

will also be battery operated candles and Christmas novelties for sale and a free jumping castle.

Market stall holders are most welcome. Please contact Wendi at [email protected] or on 0414 721 473.

Entry is free and all are welcome, so pack a chair and picnic blanket and be part of the action when the spirit of Christmas comes to our mountain community.

Open Mike InspiresThe monthly Open Mike session at

Canungra RSL Services Club has inspired one young guitarist.

Jared Plant joined in the Open Mike session at the Club on Sunday 11th November and the encouragement and feedback from performers and manage-ment contributed to a fantastic first time performance for him.

“Music is a language that all people understand and appreciate,” said Jared, “Music is a way to just be in the moment I guess. Music’s also a great way to express yourself, without saying anything.”

“I remember being very young, like around 3 or 4, and my Grandma bought me my first guitar for Christmas. My uncle Tony was there and he showed me some techniques. I messed around on that guitar occasionally.”

“About five months ago I picked guitar up again. My Dad’s friend Johno taught me for a while, then I started learning music on my own. I upgraded to a Tangle-wood acoustic guitar.”

“I’ve been playing for my family, they’ve been amazed by how fast I’ve picked it up. A few weeks ago I got up at the Canungra RSL Open Mike. It was pretty sick seeing people enjoying the music I played!”

“I’m going to carry music with me all my life. My dream is to write songs that people can connect with. I think a good song can change the way you feel in many

different ways,” he said.Open Mike Sessions are held at

Canungra RSL Services Club on the second Sunday of every month from 1pm until 4pm. All musicians and vocalists are welcome to come along and join in the session. Bring your instrument and music (if needed) . It is a great supportive atmo-sphere for anyone wanting to perform.

For more information call the Canungra RSL Services Club on 5543 5524.

QCCU Helps Touch Football TeamBy Joane Hopley

The new Moriarty Park Touch Foot-ball Team are the proud recipients of new football gear bought by a grant from Queensland Country Credit Union via their Beaudesert branch.

The team wished to express their sincere thanks to QCCU for the amount of $848 which will be well used in their actitives.

Joane Hopley said establishing a new group like this is expensive and could not

have been achieved as quickly as it was without the grant from QCCU.

“The grant has opened up another sporting option at Moriarty Park which the Moriarty Park Community Sporting Centre Inc Committee are very proud of, catering for all ages and developing very fast,” she said, “We would also like to thank Canungra School for lending equip-ment until the new supply arrived.”

Horse Retreat’s First Show By Chloe Pickard

Rain did not stop a several hundred strong rider turn-out for the Tamborine Horse Rehabilitation Retreat’s first Open T-Shirt Horse Show held at Cedar Creek Pony Club on Saturday 10th November.

Approximately $2,000 was raised to support the Retreat. A Registered not for profit organisation, THRR Rehabili-tates neglected, surrendered and slaughter bound horses and aims to find them appropriate adoptive homes. Horses arrive from racing studs, slaughter yards, sale yards and as private surrenders.

Vice President Jessica Moreland said the day had been a great success with riders coming from as far away as Northern NSW and Brisbane.

To match the retreat’s message of healing, there was the Blemishes Don’t Matter class for those horses deemed unfit to show by conventional judging, as well as a wide range of other classes for all competitors. The novelty classes included Fancy Dress, Prettiest Mare and Egg and Spoon on Horseback.

In the evening two brave members of Tamborine Fire Brigade rode the mechanical bull and a live band played.

The Tamborine Horse Rehabilitation Retreat was started by Louise ‘Tozeland’ Francis. More information can be found on their website, www.tamborinehorser-etreat.weebly.com.

Historically, complaints to the telecommunications ombudsman exceed the national average for complaints by consumers for other services. Common points of frustration included consumers lacking timely and comprehensive information regarding their mobile plan. Customers complained that critical information, such as when they were close to exceeding their “usage cap,” was not available in a timely manner. Further, the cost of certain basic units of service (the cost of an SMS, a standard domestic mobile call and one megabyte of data), the lack of transparency in the complaint making process and confusing and often misleading advertisements rounded off consumer complaints. The new Telecommunications Consumer Protection code (most of which became effective from 1st September 2012) has been heralded as the solution to these problems.

The code shifts the onus onto telecommunication providers to ensure:- In advertising telecommunications, providers must not use the term “cap” misleadingly, and only use it when it is a “hard cap,” which cannot be exceed-ed. The unit cost of one SMS, one standard two minute domestic mobile phone call and one megabyte of data must be clearly advertised. All advertis-ing claims about data speeds, such as broadband speeds, must be reasonably substantiated (the cut-off date for implementing this was 27th October 2012). - The provision of a Critical Information Summary statement outlining perti-nent information detailing essential service terms including, but not limited to, pricing arrangements and complaint resolutions processes, (the cut-off date for implementing the above is 1st March 2013).- The provision to consumers of notifications for certain thresholds of usage when their value included plans reach 50, 85 and 100% of the total advertised usage. These notifications must be made within a 48 hour window from when the usage was reached, and must include disclosures of charges which apply

once usage has been exceeded. In line with these initiatives, providers must also give information on international roaming charges and can only access customer security deposits in narrowly defined circumstances. The cut-off date for implementing the above in relation to data plans is 1st September 2013 for all providers; while the cut-off date for compliance for SMS and voice calling plan providers is 1st September 2013 and 1st September 2014 for large and small suppliers respectively.- Providers must not bill customers for charges older than 160 days. Further, providers must have a ready record of a customer’s 24 month billing cycle, which must be made available to the customer free of charge. When a direct debit payment scheme has been authorised, 10 days notice must be given before each direct debit (implementation date 1st March 2013).

The code mandates that all complaints must be acknowledged within two days and resolved within three weeks. There are also provisions for the special circumstances which constitute urgent complaints which must be resolved within two days. Suppliers must now also proactively promote the services of the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman as a complaint resolution vehicle, (implementation date 1st March 2013).

Finally, the industry is obliged to undertake “Communications Compli-ance”, where compliance with the code is measured and continuously moni-tored in the context of clearly defined customer service metrics and regulatory benchmarks, (the implementation date 1st March 2013).

While most consumers may feel that enough information about pricing and so forth is available from the large telecommunications providers (an impres-sion created by sheer volume of text, fine print and cumbersome contracts) the aim of the new code is to increase the quality and simplicity of the infor-mation provided by these entities. This simplicity allows consumers to make more informed decisions when purchasing and comparing usage plans, while also alleviating the trauma of an unexpected “bill shock”.

Nature’s GemsReD-RumpeD paRRoT

(pSephoTuS haemaTonoTuS)By Melissa Whitby

Throughout my years of chasing birds, my first encounter with particular species has stuck in my mind. One such bird is the Red-rumped Parrot. This exquisite little bird was one of the first parrot species I ever identified for myself. I was 11 years old and on a family holiday on the Darling Downs at a rural property. The thing that jumps out about the Red-rumped Parrot is the startling colours of the male bird. The head is a vivid iridescent green, with yellow underparts and a red rump. Female birds are distinctively different to the male by having a dull-brown body and olive brown tail.

A similar species to the Red-rumped Parrot is the Mulga Parrot. The best way to tell the birds apart is that the Mulga Parrot is slightly larger and the male bird has a small yellow patch above the bill and a red patch on the back of the head. Whereas, the male Red-rumped Parrot has a vivid green head with no other colours visible.

Usually this parrot species is seen in pairs or flocks. It spends much of its time foraging on the ground for grass seeds.

When disturbed, the birds will fly a short distance, land and chatter to each other.

The call of the Red-rumped Parrot is a sweet musical song that is easy to recog-nise. At grain properties on the Darling Downs, I have seen birds come to feed at the base of grain silos where the grain has been spilled.

The Red-rumped Parrot is a bird I usually see in drier inland areas such as Dalby, Warwick and Stanthorpe. This small parrot seems to have adapted to habitat clearing and farmland development throughout its southern Queensland range. The range of this parrot extends from southern Queensland, through New South Wales and Victoria into South Australia. It can be seen in a variety of habitats, which include crops, farm paddocks, urban parks, timbered watercourses and suburban house blocks.

This bird can nest from August to January and inland populations are respon-sive to rainfall. Usually, the birds will utilise a tree hollow, stump or fence posts. Four to six eggs can be laid.

The Red-rumped Parrot is a common bird throughout inland southern Queensland. Many local communities have come to recognise the small parrots and the birds have adapted to the food sources that the urban areas provide. This is one species that I feel confident I will continue to see in years to come.

I hope that for any of the readers who see this small bird in the future, that you gain as much pleasure sharing their space as I do.

CT’s Movie ReviewLawless

By Chloe PickardLawless is the second film Nick Cave and director

John Hillcoat have made together, and it’s based on the book The Wettest Country In The World by Matt Bondurant.

Set in Prohibition-era Franklin County, America, it tells the story of the moonshiner Bondurant brothers. Trouble comes with psychotic Special Deputy Charlie Rakes (played by Australian actor Guy Pearce). He wants a cut of their profits, and starts a war when they refuse. To add to the trouble, youngest Bondurant Jack wants to expand their business by dealing with danger-ous city mobsters.

Lawless definitely earns its MA rating, with some very realistic violence in parts. It’s a little overlong, but worth watching for some great acting by Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain. I especially recommend it for fans of Boardwalk Empire.


The Right Time Is NOW for Tracey DavisCanungra singer, songwriter and bass player

Tracey Davis is country through and through, a self taught musician with a unique music style that is Tracey Davis.

Tracey was born in Longreach and reared on a cattle and sheep station just outside Blackall, in Central Queensland. Riding, training and mustering horses was a regular part of her life and as a youngster she played bass and sang in her family’s band, New Image, for country balls and dances.

Any girl who has cut her teeth on the Stock-man’s Hall of Fame annual balls is obviously intended for a musical career. After years of playing at festivals from Charters Towers to Rockhampton, Tracey settled on the Gold Coast, where she was a founding member with her husband Rob Davis and Dave Luxmoore of the highly popular Bushfire Bluegrass Band. During the nine years she played in major events, festivals and corporate gigs with the band, picking up more awards in the process, Tracey penned and recorded her first album, It’s Hot with Bushfire releasing two singles and videos It’s Hot and Horses and Harleys.

Tracey Davis has performed at the Urban Country Music Festival; the Songwriters Café, Caboolture; the People’s Choice Awards, Tamworth and with the Bushfire Bluegrass Band was runner-up in the Toohey’s New Country Music Band Search at Tamworth Country Music Festival 2009.

She has also performed at the Suncorp Stadium and Twin Towns Auditorium with Dennis Knight and her sister Carmel Barn-field. Tracey has never forgotten those forma-tive country years – check out her Horses and Harleys video.

Four years after the It’s Hot album Tracey took a deep breath, bit the bullet and moved into solo performance.

Tracey teamed up with producer Chris Hartley from Rock The House Record-ing Studio in Toowoomba to co-write and co-produce her first solo album, NOW, which is due for release in early 2013. Tracey’s first single off the NOW album, Lover Come Back To Me (written by Chris Hartley) was an immedi-ate success in Hot FM Top 100 Country Chart Mildura. She followed this success with a video clip produced by Darren Scott which is played on CMC. Tracey’s second single The Silence Of Missing You (co-written with Chris Hartley) is out now streaming on the radio airways and is in the Hot FM Top 100 Country Chart Mildura.

Tracey feels very blessed to be living her dream of recording music and is very excited to be sharing and keeping live music playing. Every day is a celebration of living in the NOW for this life-loving musician.

In between recording her album NOW, Tracey is performing with Canungra’s Michael Quen-sier in his country rock band Perfect Strangers.

You will get to hear a couple of Tracey’s new songs off her forthcoming album NOW at the Canungra RSL at the Sunday Music Session on 9th December at 1pm, where she will perform with piano and hammond player Chris Hartley, lead guitar player Dale Robbins and drummer Mick Eastham.

Lover Come Back to Me and The Silence of Missing You are on CD Baby Distribution and iTunes.

Your Stars - December 2012ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Now that Mars is in Aquarius, you get the feeling you have wingsandcanfly.TherewasaflyingRaminGreekmythology,so it’s not entirely without precedent. With the open skies before you, you can pin back your ears, run - and be as happy as a kelpie in an open paddock.TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)

Venus moves through Scorpio and into Sagittarius. She takes you on a ride through emotional intensity, in her wake. The beauty of intensely emotional times, is that they can make us do a clean-out of any little white lies we might be living and get us back to truth. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)

For most of the next month, Mercury will be travelling through Sagittarius, your astrological opposite. This will force you to identify a part of yourself you sometimes pretend isn’t there. It is straightforward, focussed, passionate and sometimes blunt. Hit the truth target. CANCER (June 22 – Jul 22)

The Moon is slowly drawing you towards discovering your lion-heartedness. It is so easy to get lost in other people’s needs and entirely forget your own. Sometimes it’s important to put one’s needs and one’s ego aside. At others, like now, it is important to claim what’s ours. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

As the Sun moves through Sagittarius, so you get closer and closer to identifying what your journey, your passion, is all about. By the end of the month, you won’t just be philosophizing, you’ll be putting plans in place. Be expansive. Travel if you must. Find your joy. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

By getting out and about and being social, you are actually doing some research, even though you might not be aware of it. This gives you a strong sense of what the word on the street is – and what people’s needs are. As you begin to articulate it, so you garner responsibility. LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23)

The journey from being caught in an emotional whirlpool, to suddenly making sense of it all, will unfold almost mathematically. Whenever life moves us along to our next adventure, it’s natural that we have a few conniptions. Be patient and trust the process. It is elegant.SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)

You begin the month as the host of every second planet and their dog. By the end of the month, your guest list has thinned considerably. As a fan of transformative intensity, this should make you happy. Your great love is regeneration - and regenerate you do. Enjoy every bit.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Asgetonyourhorseandfireupyoursenseofadventure,remember that no matter how passionate, a sense of humour is vital to keep yourself on track. The Centaur is prone to shooting him/herself in the foot, when it all gets too grave. Remember your funny bone. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Though it’s not your turn on centre stage, the whole drama is moving in the direction of your impending entrance. Though it takes nerves of steel to climb perpendicular slopes, as goats do, when faced with an audience, even goatish persons are prone to nerves. Be forgiving. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Mars is about to drive his chariot through your domain. By theendofthemonth,you’llhaveabonafidewarrior,symbolofmasculinityinallitsflawedbeauty,inyourmidst.Nowisafinetime to do your homework. Prepare the ground for that moment when the doors open. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

After spending an interlude in reverse gear, Neptune goes direct. Whilst going backwards, he was helping you to shed some illusions. Whilst going forwards, he will help you put your soul, your longing, your vision into place. You are at home and happy with these deep currents.

Canungra Owls Soccer News

By Bren DalbyIt’s great to hear so much interest already in an Open

Women’s soccer team (maybe two!) for next season.David Huynh has kindly offered to take on the coach-

ing position and will start pre-season training for all ladies from Thursday 6th December. Notices regarding times and contacts are in FoodWorks. It must be noted that until ‘sign on’ at the end of January, if any ladies didn’t play soccer with another club last season, they will not be insured, therefore any preseason training will be viewed as ‘social’ and not an official club training regime.

Sign-on for all teams will be in January. It is easier to formulate teams and have kids playing where they want and with whom they want, if everyone signs up by the end of January. Full payment is required by the end of March. Credit card payments can be made on-line and therefore there will be no payment plans through the club.

It was great to have several lovely people come forward on presentation day to help out. If a dozen or so people take on to do just one task, life is a heckuva lot easier for all involved! More volunteers, particularly in the canteen, would be terrific - if your children are training and you are there, please organise to open the canteen, even for coffee, soft drinks and lollies - although a few chips and the odd dim sim are easily done and generally much appreciated!

Looking forward to a terrific 2013 season!

FooDwoRkS SpoRTSpeRSon oF The monThOctober: The October Foodworks

Sportsperson of the Month is 10 year old Justin Morrow-Cleary.

Justin began horse riding when he was just 4 years old, joined the Canungra Pony Club when he was 5, and began competing when he was 6.

This year, Justin has been placed in the top four ‘High Point’ riders at every gymkhana he competed in except one. He was selected to represent Zone 2 at the Queensland Pony Club Association State Titles formal gymkhana at Warwick on 29th September. Justin received a 1st and 8th place to finish 14th overall out of 20 riders in his age group. On 9th September, Justin competed at the Queensland Pinto Horse State Titles at Caboolture. Compet-ing against 63 other horses, he was placed in every class, winning five state titles, Reserve Champion Hack of the Show and the coveted ‘High Point Performance Horse Under 14hh’ trophy, defeating adult competitors along the way.

November: The November FoodWorks Sportsperson of the Month is 11 year old swimmer Harrison Smith. At the State Sprint Championships in February, Harri-son won gold in the 50m Butterfly, and

silver in the 50m Breaststroke and 50m Freestyle. At the school District swim-ming carnival, he won 6 of his events and came 2nd in the other. At the school South Coast regional carnival in March, Harri-son placed 1st in four of his events, 2nd in two, and 3rd in one. At the school State Championships in April, he won gold in the 200m Individual Medley and bronze in the 50m Breaststroke, gaining selection to represent Queensland at the School Sport Australia National Swimming Cham-pionships at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. At the National Titles, Harrison won silver in the 50m Breast-stroke, bronze in the 200m Individual Medley, and bronze in the Freestyle Relay. In the relay, he swam the fastest split in the Queensland team and 2nd fastest split overall. In June, Harrison was named the 11 Yrs Age Champion in the Annual Gold Coast Swimming Awards. At the State Short Course Championships in August, he won gold in the 50m and 100m Breast-stroke, 100m Individual Medley, and 50m Freestyle, and silver in the 100m Butterfly and 100m Freestyle. During 2012, Harri-son has again achieved the Gold Star in the Australian Junior Excellence program from Swimming Australia and has broken at least 12 records on the Gold Coast in his age group at both school and club meets over the past 18 months.

As the October and November Sportspeople of the Month, Justin and Harrison each receive a $50 Foodworks voucher and a $50 sports store voucher kindly donated by Canungra Foodworks. Congratulations and well done!

Canungra’s 12 Week Challenge FinishesBy Steve Crook

Local Personal Trainer Stephen Crook has finished running his second 12 week weight loss and fitness challenge.

The challenge was hard but all participants perservered and came out the other end looking and feeling healthier. Not only did they learn how to get the weight off but they learned the most important lesson - how to keep it off. With training and eating healthy it is easy to keep weight off and look your best.

The winner of the challenge was Bernice Virag who lost a huge 18.4kg. She took home a $200 gift voucher for Personal Training

sessions, $200 voucher for Canungra Beauty and Acupuncture, $100 cash, $150 Sports watch. Bernice followed the training and diet all the way through and never gave up. Congratulations Bernice for such a great effort. It goes to show that if you can be motivated enough to follow all the advice given and never miss a training session you can achieve what-ever you want. Every day members in the chal-lenge were sent emails with training sessions and Bernice did just that and the results showed.

Other results were:• 2nd place - Chris O’Çonnell who lost 15.6kg;

• 3rd place - Jen Dougherty who lost 10.6kg;• Most Centimetres Lost - Bernice Virag with a

huge loss of 77cm;• Most Sessions Attended - Leigh Bartlett.

The Challenge started with 70 people and finished with 58 which was a great effort all round.

Steve will run another 12 Week Challenge next year. Personal Training classes will continue on Monday and Wednesday at 5:30pm at Moriarty Park hall and on Saturday mornings at 7:30am at the school. Contact Steve Crook on 0431 208 588 for details.
