Ergon Energy Work Group Leader Craig Maddy agrees the practice is a great way to reduce the risk of uncontrollable wild-firewhen it’s done right.
“In my roles, both with Ergon Energy and also as a volunteer rural fire fighter, I get to see a lot of examples of where fire and electrical assists don’t mix,” Craig said,“In just the last few weeks Ergon has had to replace more than a dozen poles that have been damaged or burnt to the ground due to hazard reduction burns where property owners have not taken appropriate measures to protect them.”

Following another try by Wanderers, Matt O’Dea secured the ball for Allora, and racing for the line, evaded the attempts of his opponents and crossed between the posts. He converted the try to level the score 9-all. With only minutes to go Wanderers again scored amid a great outbreak of cheering and tooting of motor horns.

This patrol was in charge of Jack Laws, who posted his sentries so skilfully that none of the attacking party, composed of another patrol, were able to enter the station premises, as soon as trying to do so were taken prisoners and brought back to the base.

The Hawks tired in the later stages and suffered a lack of ball, compounding their issues trying to come to grips with an up-tempo Wattles outfit who were making every post a winner.

Why The Queen Was Such A Great Monarch
Jeremy Lister, age 11
The teacher told everyone that the Queen died and I felt quite sad about it because she is part of everyone’s life and she’s the only monarch who has been on the throne when I have been alive. My grandfather called Dan Dan who is 75 said he remembers the Queen waving to him when she went past in a train back when he was a boy. He waited all day and he had a pear in his pocket which got squashed. I love reading newspapers and all of the newspapers were completely full of news about the Queen dying and it has been this way for about two weeks now. I have been reading all about the succession to the new King and how the funeral for the Queen will go. Last night I saw the Queen’s funeral on TV and it was such a huge event. I liked the Queen because she didn’t get into politics but everyone respected her. She had lots of experience with different Prime Ministers and she had 17 Australian Prime Ministers in the 70 years that she was the Queen. Today, which is Tuesday, I am going with my dad to a special church service for the Queen in Brisbane at St John’s Cathedral. Dad is going as our electorate’s MP and they said that he could take me along too and that is great for Ime.hope King Charles is as successful as the Queen was but there is no chance that he will be king for 70 years like her because he is already more then 70 years old. I like this photo of the Queen with all of the Australian flags.
