Help Celebrate Canberra’s 100th Birthday

A feature of the Rally will be period fashion competitions. The American author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book and current Baz Lurhmann movie “The Great Gatsby” has raised community interest in the amazing style of the 1920’s. This has inspired communities including Tarago and Bungendore to provide gala events including competitions for the best period costumes. Costumes can represent any period from 1913 to the eighties.

Prizes will be offered in a range of categories including for each decade. I suspect the 1920’s will be most competitive. Finalists will be encouraged to compete with rallyists for the most stylish outfit at Old Parliament House on Sunday October 20.

In Tarago there will be prizes for locals participating in the day with the categories of Best Local Car on Display, Best Dressed Local and Local’s Choice, where we get to choose a favourite car in the rally plus every volunteer at Tarago goes into the draw for a prize.

Our group has a very busy week organised for mid-October, with not one but two field days involving people eminent in their particular field. You are warmly invited to attend either or both of these days.

PLANT and BIRD FIELD DAY - Tuesday, 15th October 2013We are welcoming back to our group an old friend, Rainer Rehwinkel, who is an expert in all things natural in this landscape. Rainer works in the Ecosystems and Threatened Species section of the NSW Office of the Environment and Heritage, formerly the National Parks and Wildlife Service and will be accompanied by Kathryn Wells, Manager of the Grasslands Project, Kosciuszko to Coast (K2C).

In the early days of our group, Rainer spent a lot of time out here identifying plant species at different sites on all our members’ properties. These species lists became a vital part of the Overview. Rainer has returned many times over the years educating us and helping us to discover what treasures we have here right under our eyes –things we had not realised before. For example, I was amazed to find we had, at Sunnybrook, five species of ferns growing in one area near Taylors Creek towards the boundary with Pylara. This area was in a grazing paddock that had been grazed by sheep and cattle for well over one hundred years, yet still these little plants had survived.

This field day Rainer is returning to some of these sites to identify plant, animal and bird species. It will be an opportunity for visitors to see what has been done on large and small properties since the early days of our group. In the beginning the group decided to protect what native vegetation we have and then in later years, we have begun making wild life corridors. We are learning all the time and using this knowledge to care for our part of this wonderful landscape.

Following is the program for the day, meeting at 9.15am for a 9.30am start.1. Bracken Ridge, Jean Underwood’s place at 2033 Bungendore Road, Tarago. This is a small farm not previously visited by Rainer.2. Nardoo, the Willson family’s place, on Taylors Creek Road. This is the site of a wonderful Yellow Box/Red Gum Woodland, part of which was fenced off many years ago to allow revegetation. Immediately above this site is Nardoo Sands. This was also fenced off and the regeneration has been remarkable. 3. Sunnybrook, Max and Joan Limon’s place, at 784 Taylors Creek Road. We will visit the Big Hill site where a small Snow Gum woodland was fenced off many years ago and planted with species native to this area. There has been an impressive survival rate in this steep site, totally exposed to all the winds. Already the planted acacias are regenerating but also, the ancient Snow Gums are regenerating, something that would never have

happened prior to fencing out the stock. 4. Lunch will be held either in the Shearing Shed or garden at Sunnybrook, depending on the weather. 5. Currawang Travelling Stock Reserve (TSR) on the Currawang Road near the intersection with Collector Road.6. Duck Flat TSR, on the intersection of Taylors Creek and Bungendore Roads (optional)

If you have a 4 wheel drive that would be handy but not essential, depending on the rainfall prior to this date. Please bring your own lunch (tea and coffee will be available at Sunnybrook), water, hat, sunscreen and walking boots. Anyone with an interest in this part of the world or identifying plants and animals, is invited to attend. For further information please phone Joan on 4844 6250.

DUNG BEETLE FIELD DAY – Friday, 18th October 2013Here is the opportunity to meet the world-renowned expert on Dung Beetles, John Feehan, known as “the Farmers Friend”. You are warmly invited to come along to the “Willeroo” Shearing Shed on the Collector Road, meeting at 10am.

John was a member of the CSIRO team tasked with introducing bovine dung beetles into Australia. Dung beetles are nature’s own recycling specialists and make our farming soils more productive and sustainable.Every day more than half a million tonnes of dung is dropped onto Australian pastures, locking up nutrients and creating a breeding ground for bush flies, buffalo flies and other pests, but beetle colonies are capable of burying cow pads in 24-72 hours.

Pic above: World renowned expert on dung beetles John Feehen John is committed to educating the community about the importance of the dung beetle and his work has made an outstanding contribution to Australian agriculture.He has been promoting the management of dung beetles for more than 18 years and has redistributed more than 4,500 colonies consisting of 18 different species to date.If wet we will meet inside the Shearing Shed.

Please bring your own lunch, water and walking boots. Tea and coffee will be provided. There may be a small fee involved – watch for the fliers closer to the date.Please phone Jean on 4849 4218 for further details.

TAYLORS CREEK LANDCARE INC



Native TrufflesOn Sunday morning, 15 September, a group from Taylors Creek and Tarago Landcare met at the TSR on Taylors Creek Road to hunt for native truffles. Our guide was Anthony Corrigan whose ecological work has led him into exploring the relationship between the truffle and native species, like the bettong, that feed on it. The relationship is a symbiotic one as the truffle is high in protein and bettongs and poteroos disperse the spore and ensure the spread of the fungi. Anthony began to wonder whether declining animal numbers would affect the truffle community.

He became interested in collecting data on Black Mountain with specialist scientists who have identified an impressive number of different species. It has been estimated that well over a thousand species of hypogeous fungi are likely to occur in Australia, Bougher and Lebel (2001). Individual species occur over a great diversity of habitats, but our search focussed around the base of a few eucalypts and acacias where the fungi was easily seen once the litter was carefully lifted off with a garden fork.

The fruit of the fungi, the truffle, is either bright yellow-orange or bright green, but after a gentle dig with fingers the only sign of a native truffle was a small dry ball from last year. We were probably too early in the season and plan to return in a month to search under the snow gums again.

What we learned was a valuable lesson on the interactions among the ground-dwelling animals, underground fruiting fungi and woody plants. Research scientists agree that each contributor of this ’three-way association benefits from the others’: the animals benefit nutritionally, the fungus benefits from the host plant, the plant benefits by receiving nutrients and water from the fungus and the fungus benefits from the animal which ‘acts as a dispersal agent of the fungal spores it has consumed but cannot digest’.*

We are grateful to Anthony for not only uncovering the fungi and the truffle sites, but for also for expanding our understanding of the interrelationships that exist and which are constantly under threat from human interference with natural processes. *Managing habitat for mycophagous ( fungus-feeding) mammals : a burning issues Andrew W.

Congratulations to Cr O’Neill on 30 years service to the community of Goulburn Mulwaree as a councillor Popular election of the Mayor At the meeting, Councillors considered whether the mayor should be directly elected by voters or continue to be elected by Councillors. A report by General Manager Chris Berry to the meeting explained that the Local Government Act 1993 provided for a popularly elected Mayor after a constitutional referendum has been held. ‘A popularly elected Mayor is elected for a 4 year term while a Councillor elected Mayor is appointed only for 12 months’, the report said. ‘The former Goulburn City Council held a referendum on the issue and was scheduled to introduce a popularly elected Mayor. However the merger with part of Mulwaree Shire occurred and the proclamation for the new Council did not provide for a popularly elected Mayor. This was in part due to Mulwaree Shire not having held a referendum on the issue. The pending Local Government reforms are proposing to introduce popularly elected Mayors for larger Councils.’ At the meeting, Councillors agreed not to directly elect the mayor. Cr Bob Kirk said: “a popular vote did not necessarily make an effective vote.”

Mayor Geoff Kettle said: “We don’t directly elect a Prime Minister, I see no reason why we would directly elect a Mayor.” Council decided not to hold a constitutional referendum on the direct election of the Mayor.Council votes to retain the number of councillors

The question of how many Councillors there should be was debated at the meeting. A report to Council by General Manager Chris Berry said the number of Councillors must be between 5 and 15.

“If Council proposed to change the number of Councillors, a constitutional referendum would be required. There have been no submissions seeking a change to the number of Councillors. Nine Councillors gives a ratio of one representative per 3,330 head of population,” Mr Berry said. At the meeting, Council resolved that: “a constitutional referendum not be held on the number of Councillors.” This means it will stay at nine councillors for Goulburn Mulwaree.

Council allocates $5000 for Belmore Park play equipment Council was presented with options for play equipment to create an “equal access’ playground (primarily for disabled children) in Belmore Park. A report to Council by Parks Administrator Jason Moroney said staff had investigated the supply of such playground equipment that would meet the need of children with disabilities. “The cost of such equipment installed is approximately $2500. This type of equipment while generally consistent with other types of equipment in the playground in itself does not comply with the heritage values of the park and the locality,” Mr Moroney said.

Briefs from Ordinary Council meeting September 17 Mayor and Deputy Mayor re-elected Goulburn Mulwaree Mayor Geoff Kettle and Deputy Mayor Bob Kirk were re-elected at the Council meeting last night. They were the only nominations for both positions. When General Manager Chris Berry asked if there were any other nominations for the positions, Cr Andrew Banfield momentarily rose to his feet. “Ah, got you!" He joked and sat down. It is the fourth term as Mayor for Cr Kettle, having been first elected in 2010. There was a round of applause from fellow councillors and those in the public gallery. Cr Margaret O’Neill then stood to congratulate both Cr Kettle and Cr Kirk on the fine job they have achieved as a close team during the past 12 months. “Congratulations on the last 12 months. It has been a hard time for councillors. I wish you well for the next 12 months,” Cr O’Neill said.

TARAGO BUSHFIRE BRIGADE (est 1946)

Another quiet month for the Brigade but it is sure not to last now that we have entered the bushfire danger period. Please make sure that you have an appropriate and up to date Bush Fire Survival Plan –“what will you do to keep your family safe”. You can download your copy of a plan from www.rfs.nsw.gov.au or if you don’t have web access give me a call and I will get hard copy for you. It’s never too late to do a plan but the earlier you do it the more prepared you will be for the upcoming bush fire season. Please contact me if you would like a free booklet to help you prepare your Bush Fire Survival Plan.

PrepareYou need to take steps to prepare yourself, your family and your home. This means being prepared well before you may be affected by a fire.

ActYou need to be prepared to take action in the event of a fire.

On days of increased fire danger, such as when it is hot, dry and windy, you should pay extra attention to the fire risk in your area. There are actions you can do to save time in case a fire starts:• Contain pets so they can be easily found • Move stock to fully grazed areas • Check water pumps and generators to make sure

they are working • Review your Bush Fire Survival Plan with your family

and have your Emergency Survival Kit and protective clothing ready

• Listen to the media for updates and information • Talk to your neighbours, family and friends. • Make sure your whole family knows what your trigger

is and be ready to put your Bush Fire Survival Plan into action.

SurviveAs soon as you become aware that there is a fire in your area, you must put your Bush Fire Survival Plan into action.Hesitating or adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach could have deadly consequences for you and your family. More information is available at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.

Fire permits are required from 1 October 2013 before doing any burning off. If you require a permit contact the Brigade Captain Ken Vassel on 48494652.

Last fire season the majority of fires that we attended were started either by accident or neglect. Three of those fires were a result of slashing long dry grass and one by an illegal camp fire. Remember if you start a fire illegally during the bush fire danger period you may be prosecuted and if damage is done to other people’s property then you may be sued for damages. Please be extra careful during this period.

Fire permits are required from 1 October 2013 before any burning off

Publicity SeminarFrom Celebrities to Robots! As usual our editor, Gay Cowan managed to pack into 2 days another action-packed seminar for us ‘would-be journalists’. This time the seminar included some informative and impressive speakers and a tour to the Nationwide Newspapers at Chullora. In between we had some technical instruction on Facebook and websites, under the guidance of head office staff.

At the Sydney Print Centre we were amazed at the enormity of the place and the introduction of robots gliding around instead of people! It may interest you to know: • Each page requires 4 plates and one million are used each year. They are recycled but don’t come back to the printers but are most likely used to produce drink cans.• Roughly 25,000kms of paper is used each week; enough to get to Perth and back 3 times.• The Sunday Telegraph starts at 5pm Sat. night and they try to have all papers cleared from the building by 5am Sunday. Our speakers included TV presenter Geraldine Doogue. In person, as on the small screen, Geraldine was as charming as ever and spoke about ‘Life in the Media’. She has presented on Four Corners & Nationwide and is the recipient of a United Nations Media Peace Prize and two Penguin Awards. She has been the host of Compass since 1998. Geraldine has also received a Churchill Fellowship for social and cultural reporting and was recognized with an Officer of the Order of Australia for services to the community and media in 2003.

Andrew Marshall shared some practical tips on reporting from his wide experience in journalism. Andrew’s career in journalism started in the1980’s. Prior to his current role as Associate Editor, he was Editor at the Land for over 5 years and spent 11 years as Deputy Editor. He is also Group Agribusiness Writer for the Rural Press agricultural division.

Another inspiring speaker was Catriona Pollard, director of CP Communications, a cutting edge PR and social media agency based in Sydney. Known as a mover and shaker, she was named one of the top 100 PR people to follow on Twitter. Her blog, Public Relations Sydney is listed as number two in the ‘20 Best Australian Business Blogs’.

Our Primary Product of Study - WoolWool is a natural fibre with properties which make it superior to any synthetic fibre. It can absorb up to 35%

of its own weight of moisture without feeling wet, and while it is absorbing moisture it generates heat. Synthetic fibres do not give out heat when they absorb moisture. Wool is strong, durable and resilient. It is an excellent insulator. On the sheep, it traps enough air in its fibres to keep the animal warm in winter and cool in summer. Apart from Merino, other popular breeds are Polwart, English Leicester, Border Leicester, Lincoln, Corriedale and Romney.

International Day (Southern Tablelands Group)Southern Tablelands Group International Day was held at Yass. We celebrated all things Morocco with a delicious lunch with Moroccan dishes from each branch. Artist Mrs. Fatima Killeen gave an interesting presentation of her work, which included printmaking and calligraphy.

Principal’s Message (extract from Term 3 Week 10 newsletter)

What a term we have had! Starting with the Goulburn Community of Small Schools Creative and Practical Arts Day, our wonderful Book Week celebration, Camp, our visit to the Sport and Cultural Expo in Goulburn and culminating with all of our Eisteddfod competitors doing their best in the last week of term.

A thank you to everyone who has supported our students throughout this term. Can I especially thank Mrs Beryl Tarttelin for her dedication and commitment in preparing our students for the Eisteddfod. Mrs Tarttelin volunteers her time and travels from Bungendore, twice a week, to ensure our students are prepared for the Goulburn Eisteddfod. Her expertise and enthusiasm are very evident, seeing our students progress over the past few weeks, she has been joined by Mrs Diana Stutterd who has also volunteered her time to assist our students.

We have undertaken a minor upgrade to our school computer network and as a result have increased the WiFi capacity in classrooms. This will mean that students will have greater flexibility with both laptops and our iPads.

I hope everyone has noticed our new sign which has finally been installed. Keep an eye out for upcoming events!

Next term we will be attending a Science Day at Captain’s Flat Public School on Thursday 17th October. School resumes on Tuesday 8th October 2013. Have a safe and happy holiday everyone and I am looking forwrad to a productive, busy learning term 4. It is hard to believe I have been at Tarago Public School for a whole year! I would to like say what a great time I have had working with staff, students and the community at Tarago.

Braidwood Evening VIEW Club - Celebrating their 22nd Birthday in October at the Braidwood Services Club, with guests Sally Cullen, Zone Councillor and Margaret Gooch, National Councillor, being welcomed to help celebrate this milestone for the club.

Goulburn Evening VIEW Club - The special guest for the September meeting was Goulburn High School Teacher, Dennis Carol, who teaches ESL (English as Second Language). Dennis has a small class comprising of refugee students from Africa, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Burma to name a few. Dennis said he enjoys his job immensely, as he feels it is a rewarding challenge which makes him very proud. He enjoys helping the students develop and watching them progress to the next level. He said the students have fascinating stories to relate of their incredible, sad and challenging journeys that eventually brought them to this country. Dennis said he started out doing a communications degree, then to journalism, travelled extensively, then became a teacher of English (ESL), which took him to Broken Hill for six years, then to Goulburn. Dennis was very informative and a delightful character, making the evening most enjoyable for all. Kathy Jefferys thanked Dennis for sharing his very special story with the ladies of the club. The October meeting will be held at The Gallery on Track in Blackshaw Road, Goulburn.

Queanbeyan Evening VIEW Club - In September, the club visited Tobin Brothers, where representative Mistie, spoke to the ladies about “Professional guidance while guarding our wishes and peace of mind for loved ones”. Members claimed it was an unbelievable evening where they and their guests asked lots of serious and funny questions with the answers being just as serious and funny. It was very informative and everyone was impressed, those that did not attend for various reasons, missed a wonderful evening and an even more wonderful supper.

“Party” girls have now returned exhausted from the recent National Convention in Surfers Paradise but with lots of information obtained whilst in attendance. The ladies will deliver a full report on what is news at a later meeting, however they were able to reveal that the next Convention will be held in Wollongong in 2015. The club reiterated how successful the Fashions on Parade evening was in August, where all the models did the club proud, males and junior models included. The evening raised a very substantial amount which will subsequently be used

to sponsor the club’s current Learning for Life Student. Sponsoring Learning for Life Students is a very proud part of this VIEW Club.Crookwell Evening VIEW Club - At the August meeting, Crookwell VIEW member Annika Chapman, was guest speaker sharing her passion of Elizabethan Embroidery and the many pieces on display showed her exquisite skills. The history of Elizabethan Embroidery dates from approximately 1558 through to the 1650’s. Annika’s passion for

this craft glows and part of her fascination for this type of embroidery is the research required to stitch these pieces as close as possible to being real.

Annika provided the following quote: “Let us not forget that the main object of all embroidery is to give pleasure in some way, to charm the eye or delight the mind and that is the principle reason for its existence”. All the members and guests wholeheartedly agreed that that has been achieved by Annika. As a young girl Annika’s mother bought her a tangled bag of thread from St Vincent de Paul at the cost of two shillings and created the design for her first piece. This framed picture gained Annika a highly commended award at the Royal Easter Show and her success continued when in 2009 she won the Best of the Best at the International Embroidery Convention receiving a $3,000 prize and a two year embroidery scholarship.

Annika thanked Sally Cullen, Carol Castles, Pauline McLaren and Nicky Spackman for their assistance and efforts in the preparation of the presentation. Elaine Delaney was delighted to warmly thank and congratulate Annika. Annika is willing to share her wide experience of all forms of embroidery and, in particular, hopes to inspire youngsters to take up this craft. She is keen for those interested to call her on mobile 042 746 4004 for

Bitumen Spray Sealing is the most common road surface used in Australia. A bitumen seal is formed by the spraying of a bitumen binder and covering with a layer of aggregate. A seal may contain more than one application of binder and / or aggregate. It is a semi flexible pavement product that can also be used as a surface for the following;

Rural roads and driveways

Urban & residential streets

Sub-divisions

Car parks

Patching

The benefits of a bituminous spray seal Bituminous spray seals are the most cost effective treatment for resurfacing roads.

A bituminous spray seal is more flexible and can resist fatigue cracking.

A bituminous spray seal provides a waterproof wearing surface whereas a hotmix asphalt overlay is porous.

Less greenhouse gases are produced in the application of a bituminous spray seal, as opposed to hot mix.

Don’t get caught out by bandits offering cheap bitumen!



The newly formed Palerang United Football club had an amazing season this year in the All Age Womens team remaining un-defeated almost to the end when only Belwest could beat them.

Coach Mark Roberts was a definite part in the girls success by only ever praising and seeing the positives in their playing. Two local Tarago girls, Dale McDonald and Hollie Wells played the season with this team from Braidwood only to find it was the best team they have played with and an exceptionally well run club. Both girls played the grand final against Belwest at Kaleen on the 15th of September, the entire team played their hearts out only to be defeated 5-3. I would like to congratulate the girls on their great season in football.

Newcomer Dale learnt the game quickly, with ease. And with the rather loud assistance and advice of “Run Dale run!”, from Hollie’s dad, Ken Wells from the sideline, she became a strong force on the field. Of course Dale, fronted up to the grand final on Sunday after playing 3 grand finals in netball the day before and winning two of the three games, but didn’t show any signs of tiring. Hollie also had commitments from playing at the Art Gallery to the Sydney Youth Orchestra and Year 11 exams. As well as a recent ankle and knee injury which left her on crutches and unable to train or attend school for days. Despite these obstacles she managed to kick a hard and determined ball and keep running. Of course her dad would never yell from the side line at her, it would be too embarrassing.

Both Dale and Hollie as well as Lauren Campbell also played with the Palerang (Braidwood) side in the Kanga cup back in July where they gained an enormous amount of experience, playing daily and sometimes twice daily for a week. We hope for better luck in next year’s Grand final, maybe Belwest will have moved up a grade by then.

Handy hint 1 - BananaramaPull bananas apart before displaying them in your fruit bowl. If you leave them connected at the stem, they’ll ripen faster and go brown quicker. Who knew?!

Handy hint 2 - Flexible vacuum To suck up hard-to-reach gunk under your fridge, or behind a bookshelf, insert an empty paper towel roll into the end of your vacuum cleaner and bend, or flatten it, to squeeze into these difficult spots.

Handy hint 3 - Buying capsicumWe’re not sure why, but a capsicum with three bumps on the bottom is sweeter than one with four. Oh, but four bumps makes for a crunchier, firmer capsicum, so you should weigh up crunch vs. sweet when picking out your pepper!

Handy hint 4 - Fend off weedsInstead of tossing your daily rag in the recycling bin, use the newspaper as mulch and deter noxious weeds. Simply wet the sheets and put the layers around your plants and garden beds, covering with soil as you go. The weeds won’t be able to get through the wet newspaper layers.

Handy hint 5 - So cheesyWrap cheese chunks in aluminium foil and store in the fridge to keep your cheddar fresher for longer and to keep mould out.

Handy hint 6 - Mozzies be gone!If you have the kind of blood that attracts mosquitoes like a moth to a flame, then listen up. To keep the pesky blood suckers at bay, place a fabric softener dryer sheet in your pocket. Mosquitoes are repelled by the scent and you’ll smell like summer breeze all night!

Handy hint 7 - Crispy leftover pizzaTo reheat a pizza so that the base is out-of-the-oven crisp, heat your leftover slices in a fry pan on low-medium heat on the stove until warm and wave goodbye to the days of soggy microwave pizza.

Handy hint 8 - Reopening envelopesIf you seal an envelope and realise you’ve forgotten to include something inside, just place it in the freezer for an hour or two and voila, the envelope will unseal without a trace!

Handy hint 9 - The power of garlicAdd garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a subtle taste and towards the end to blast it with flavour.

Handy hint 10 - Getting rid of antsIt may sound cruel, but if you have an ant problem, desperate times call for desperate measures. Put small piles of polenta where you see ants and they’ll gobble it up, return ‘home’ and won’t be able to digest it. Your ant problem (and the ants) will soon be dead.



All Welcome to St Luke’s Mayfield Commemoration

The locality of Mayfield has never had many public buildings but memories of one – St Luke’s Church which was located 16 kilometres from Tarago on the Mayfield Road – live on among those who were baptised and married in the little wooden church which was opened in 1899, enlarged in 1906 and closed in 1965. Built with funds provided by Robert Sturgiss (the grandfather of Councillor Denzil Sturgiss), St Luke’s was demolished in 1966 and some of the furniture was relocated to St Andrew’s Church at Tarago and continues to be used for worship. On Sunday 13 October 2013 at 10am (the Sunday nearest to the annual observance of St Luke’s Day), a commemorative service will be held on the (now privately owned) site of the old Church around the memorial plaque that still stands on the block. Parking will be available adjacent to the site. The service will be followed by a bring and share BBQ lunch. Anyone with a connection to the Church is invited to this important event and is encouraged to bring any memorabilia relating to St Luke’s such as photographs, certificates or newspaper articles. Items from the old Church, including the original offertory plate and two flags presented after World War II in memory of local servicemen, are being assembled and will be on hand during the day together with a number of historical documents. For more information contact Tom Frame at [email protected] or on 0417 468 304.

Magpies and plovers need plenty of space

Breeding season is in full swoop for magpies, plovers and many other native birds and these protected animals may become aggressive if they feel threatened.

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) reminds people to avoid territorial birds in the coming weeks, as their behaviour should mellow by October. All native species are protected and anyone concerned about an aggressive bird should contact their nearest NPWS office or call 1300 361 967.

Measures people can take, and should teach children, include to:• not provoke the birds • hold an umbrella or stick above your head to deter

swooping • avoid and hurry past nesting sites • wear a hat • if on a bike dismount to avoid falling off and move

away quickly • control dogs within 100 metres of nests • warn others about bird territories

HORTICULTURAL ADVICE & GARDENING TIPSCompiled by Wanda Egan

Willowglen Gardeners Meeting August 2013

October ‘13Have you started your summer vegetable patch yet? Best get started on it now. Add compost or manure and some gardeners lime to sweeten your soil. Plant veges 2 weeks after adding compost and turning it over well. We can’t wait to start planting ours early with this warm winter and spring that we have had. We have even started now with some Chinese veges and beetroot. We love the choice of veges that we have in summer in the patch. There is so much choice out there.

Keep your eye out for aphids now too. You will find them on your roses and on any citrus that has new growth. Spray with a horticultural oil (white oil/pest oil) or soapy water. It will be best to check these plants for scale insects too. They are usually white or black though they do come in other colours too. They are always in the company of ants. So if you see ants climbing your shrubs then there is a great chance that you have scale. Spray with the above sprays as per directions.

Fertilise your garden now too. Roses, fruit trees and any flowering plants will be happy for the boost. Remember that any fertiliser is better than no fertiliser. I really

don’t think that your plants will mind what type of fertiliser that you use. Always follow the recommended application rates and water in well.

Those pesky snails and slugs will be out and about with this warmer weather too. Leave out small containers of beer that have been half buried in the soil. You will need to empty container about once a week and put fresh beer in the container.

It’s now time to spread any seed of Cleome and other summer growing annuals. They are great gap fillers and reduce the weed in the garden. I always let mine go to seed so that I don’t have to buy the seed again. I now have Cleome and Poopy coming up everywhere. They give me months of colour too. Cut off any frost damaged leaves or stems now to allow for all the new growth to see the sun and they will jump into life.

Wanda

The Willow Glen Gardeners visited the Riversdale Historic property which is operated by the National Trust and run by volunteers. It was a lovely sunny day and a group of us met at Riversdale property in Goulburn on Tuesday 3rd September. The gardens are lovely and there were lots of blossoms, jonquils and daffodils and other flowering plants.

Ros took us on a guided tour and explained the history of Riversdale and showed us where there were gardens previously and what changes have taken place over the years. There were many trees over a 100 years old and still bearing fruit. It was very interesting and we then had a lovely morning tea; scones, jam & cream and tea or coffee. Warren then held the meeting. Everyone had a great day and we then purchased some plants before leaving.

Our next meeting is at Marjorie Nicholson’s place, 254 Bullamalito Ave, Quialigo.

The TADPAI meeting was held on 9th September 2013 - there were three items of interest.

Beautification of the Bungendore Road entrance to TaragoThis area is on the master plan prepared by Cid Riley. There are issues concerning the soil quality given previous contamination. Cid will discuss the issues with Goulburn Mulwaree Council and will report back to TADPAI.

FRRR grants are available for small communitiesThe Hall committee are considering applying for a grant to have solar power installed at the Hall, to help reduce energy costs. TADPAI decided that the ANZAC Committee would be the best group to apply for a grant in this round, as there is a short deadline for lodging applications. The grant will be used to provide wind protection at the park for the ANZAC Day service.

The FRRR Small Grants for Small Communities are offered twice a year and encourage rural and/or remote communities of population of less than 10,000 to apply for grants of up to $5000. Application forms and information is available from their website www.frrr.org.au

Veolia Odour issuesVeolia had 3 issues to address out of the latest EPA Odour Audit. Clean out the leachate dams, de-sludge and reline,

redevelop the leachate management system in the void, and make improvements in gas capture. Denzil asked for a date when the odour will stop, as he has been receiving more complaints recently. Justin told the meeting that the end of October this year is the date. Problems with odour have been identified as due to equipment failure, where a pump may fail overnight – which causes leachate to fill pipes which in turn leads to release of the odour. Veolia are implementing a different leachate management system in the void to prevent the release of odour when the pumps fail. The next EPA Odour Audit is scheduled for September this year.

Tarago RockQuizThe next round of Tarago RockQuiz is on 12th October at the Tarago Hall - doors open 7.00pm. These nights are a lot of fun and great value for a quiz and live music and dancing afterwards for $10 per head. And as usual all proceeds go to the upkeep of the Hall. I look forward to seeing you there in your Blues Brothers costumes, rumours are that there will be Soft Drink/Icecream spiders for sale as well as cold and hot drinks. The next TADPAI meeting will be held on 14th October 2013 starting at 7pm at the Loaded Dog Hotel.

Have a great month.Neil Shepherd

That Road - A Poem by Malui Tolar

I found that road againThe road that was less travelled onThe road that led me to youThe road that continues to fulfil my dreamsThat road that at times seems so far away, yet in reality it’s just there right before me I just need to focus and take note of the signs along the wayThey always take me back to youMy dreams, our destiny, to my missions in this lifeThat road is a constant in my life as far back as I can remember, even as a little girl with a vivid and creative imaginationI am still that little girl in many many waysKeen to be taught and always open to learning from my surroundings and others that enter my lifeBe it for a brief moment in life or for a long period of timeThis road led me to a lot of amazing moments and different journey’s throughout my lifeThat road, that long stretch of a road.That straight road and at times a very windy crazy roadI love it though; I wouldn’t change a thing. I take it for what it is and I am very grateful to have it.For it has made and help create the person that I am and continue to beRight here, right before you allThose of you, the special and important people in my

life; Our lives.At times our roads may diverge for a while but in time they always meet up and blend together as one againInto that one wide smooth roadOf course with many little bumps along the way,This simply just to make it that little bit more adventurous and interesting and thoughtful.After all isn’t that what we are here for?



METHOD:Cut the tofu block into 2cm cubes.Mix all marinade ingredients together thoroughly (the best way is to put them in a large screw cap jar and shake vigorously).Put tofu cubes in a large bowl and cover with the marinade mix and leave 24 hours.Thread all components alternately onto soaked bamboo skewers (ie cap/tofu mush/tofu apricot/tof), till they are all used. (Be careful not to skewer yourself in the process).Cook on BBQ or grill basting occasionally with marinade or whack them on an oven tray at 160 degrees for 10 mins turning once. Don’t over cook or the tofu goes tough and rubbery

1 pack of Tofu makes about 8 skewers.

Many thanks to my friend Amanda who couldn’t be there on the night but gave me her fantastic tofu skewers recipe to share with everyone.

Bon Appetit.

Laughter is the best medicine

Be true to your teeth, or they will be false to you.Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so: Douglas Adams Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes: Oscar Wilde Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.Knowledge is of the past, wisdom is of the future: Vernon Cooper Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don’t: Pete SeegerIf at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. Imagination is more important than knowledge: Albert Einstein Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.There is a fine line between genius and insanity. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity .A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. A light heart lives long: William Shakespeare
