Fundraising Record for Pink

By Keer Moriarty Canungra’s Biggest Fundraiser, Turning Canungra Pink, is set to raise a record amount of over $60,000 this year.

Coordinator, Joanne Kennedy said the events and donations have been outstanding, including a donation of almost $10,000 from Aquis.

The thoroughbred racing company held Pink Polo in late September and matched the gate tickets dollar for dollar.

They also donated a stallion service to Dubious, valued at over $13,000.

This year marks 10 years of Turning Canungra Pink, and every year more businesses and volunteers join the cause.

Volunteers are the life of this event, going from strength to strength since its creation, and with many new faces this year this fundraiser is thriving.

Joanne thanked the community for their support and said the skills of the new volunteers on the committee have helped raise the fundraising bar

this year.

“The new thing we have done this year is the web page with online ticket sales,” she said.

“We amped up social media, mainly thanks to Courtney Guerin who has put together a lot of the social media for the events.”

“The letterbox competition and voting for shop front was done by the public via a QR code.”

“We were lucky enough to receive a community grant of $3,500 from Scenic Rim Regional Council which helped to pay for the decorations and marketing material.”

The pink Honda motorcycle raffle, run by The Butchery Canungra was won by Richard Otten of Ormeau with ticket number 1091.

Richard had his own challenges with prostate cancer in the past which was an added motivator to support the cause.

He also has nine grand children just the right age to put the pink bike to good use!

HUMANS of CANUNGRA

By Keer Moriarty Photo by Katie O’Brien

Luke O’Brien is a mountain of a man. The first thing you notice about him is his size. As a builder, he has worked on a lot of homes in the district, but what I was taken with is that he and his wife Katie have been together since high school (I love a good romance story).

I don’t know much about you, apart from you being a builder.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Coffs Harbour.

What was that like ?

Coffs Harbour is a great spot, great beaches, great fishing.

Awesome spot for a kid to grow up.

Lived there until I was 18 then moved to the Gold Coast. It’s a great spot to go back and visit.

Did your whole family move up this way?

No just me and my wife, Katie So, you met her in Coffs Harbour?

Yes, we went to school together. We have known each other for a long time, 30 years.

We have been married for 17 years.

We went to school together, known each other since we were 13 or 14.

We went out in Year 8 and then we went out again in Year 10, and have been together ever since.

When you finished school, did you do an apprenticeship as a builder ?

I did an Apprenticeship on the Gold Coast for four years as a stair builder. Then I did carpentry and joinery and then eventually got my builder’s licence.

We lived on the Goldy for seven years, then we found Canungra.

How did you come to be in Canungra?

Back in 2004, I was doing a renovation for a local builder on Pine Creek Road and drove into town to grab smoko (a pie from The Outpost Cafe).

I went home that afternoon and told Katie about this little town called Canungra.

Six months later we bought a house here

which we fully renovated.

We’ve been here now for 16 years. Brought up two kids, built up a good business and made some great friends.

What was it that made you want to be a builder?

I always loved working with timber.

I would say my brother in-law was a big influence, he’s a builder.

I saw how they were getting ahead in life; thought I should start doing the same.

It’s always nice to stand back and look at something you have built or see the look on your client’s face because you made them their dream home.

What’s some of the most interesting jobs you have built?

About 10 years ago I did a straw-bale home out at Sarabah, this was for an owner builder, but it was definitely

Luke O’Brien a different way of building.

It is always good to be doing something different. That’s why I love my job.

I always liked doing renovations, working on the older homes and giving them a new life, always thinking on the go, you never know what you’re going to find.

What do you do when you’re not working?

I always try and keep busy.

I play the guitar a

fair bit, been playing a lot more these days because my eldest son started playing.

I used to be right into doing weights, but bad shoulder injuries stopped that for now.

I like to hang out with friends and family for camping and barbecues, day trips within the Scenic Rim and we love going overseas.

Bali in the summer, snow boarding in New Zealand in winter hopefully will be able to do this again soon.

Authenticity Sets Scenic Rim Apart

By Susie Cunningham The genuine community spirit of locals even through adversity has set the Scenic Rim apart on the world stage.

The Scenic Rim is the only Australian destination in travel bible Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2022 guide.

The region features in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2022 Top 10 Regions alongside the likes of Burgundy in France, Vancouver Island in Canada and the Westfjords in Iceland.

The major global promotion for the region was celebrated nationally on live television, plastered across the front pages of major mastheads and all over the top travel blogs.

Locally, tourism leaders said the recognition was a win for the community.

Lisa Groom, who runs

ParkTours and is the granddaughter of Binna Burra Lodge founder Arthur Groom, said it was exciting for Canungra.

“Canungra is the eastern gateway to the Scenic Rim, well positioned to welcome all the people coming through, but it is a thriving destination in its own right,” she said.

“We always stop in at Canungra on our tours and everyone loves it because it’s got its own charm and there’s so much happening on the main street with all the cafes and shops.”

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen said it was an incredible achievement for the region.

“While the official title is Best in Travel, this award isn’t only for our tourism industry. Lonely Planet also highlighted the authenticity and warmth of our local com-

Ready for their Next Adventure

By Keer Moriarty In a small town there are always those ‘lynchpin’ characters - the people who shape the character of the town - like Paul and Shona Kraayvanger.

The couple have owned and run the Canungra Hub Cafe for the past five years, and are now moving onto the next chapter in their lives.

“Paul and I bought Canungra Hub without any experience of owning and running a cafe, but we are so proud to now hand over the keys to a very busy business,” said Shona.

They recently sold the successful cafe to staff member Verity Robinson and her partner, Ivan Tapia.

In the first six months of owning Canungra Hub Cafe, Shona was diag-

nosed with breast cancer, a difficult time that was overcome with the support of family, their staff and the community.

They went on to be nominated for, and win multiple hospitality awards and cater for many large events and celebrities, including the Governor General of Australia, David Hurley.

They also appeared on several television programs, promoting the cafe and the region with their friendly hospitality and fresh, healthy food.

Paul and Shona also ran Canungra Newsagency for ten years while raising their two children, Meg and Joel, and have been heavily involved in local community organisations including the Canungra Show Society and Moriarty Park Committee.

“Many local people remember our time at Canungra Newsagency, they watched our children grow up and have been part of our family with us,” said Paul.

The couple are grateful for the support they have

received from the community and their staff, some of whom have been at the Cafe since Paul and Shona purchased it.

While keeping their home in Canungra, Paul and Shona are looking forward to a long caravan

trip around Australia, and visiting their new grandchild in Broome.

“We wish Verity and Ivan all the best with their new adventure and hope it brings them as much joy as it did to us.”

Angus and Julia Stone headline The Long Sunset

Canungra will be home to the newest boutique camping and music event when The Long Sunset takes place on Saturday 12 February 2022 at Elysian Fields.

Angus and Julia Stone, Ball Park Music, Babe Rainbow and Hatchie lead the lineup the inaugural event.

The Long Sunset is a brand new experience, from Queensland Music Trails.

Australian indie-folk duo Angus & Julia Stone will headline the event, performing together in Queensland for the first time since their sold-out performance in Brisbane back in 2018.

The brother-sister duo’s performance at The Long Sunset will also mark the first opportunity for Queenslanders to experience the band’s latest record, ‘Life Is Strange’,

live and in person.

“It’s been a really long time since Angus and I have had the chance to make our way up to Queensland to perform together,” said Julia Stone.

“It’s a truly beautiful part of the world. We can’t wait to head north again and perform as the sun sets and the night comes alive. It’s going to be electric.”

“The Scenic Rim, like much of Australia, has felt the full weight of the pandemic over the past 18 months” said Scenic Rim Mayor, Cr Greg Christensen.

“From the generational family businesses scattered throughout the region to the brewers, the winemakers, the producers, accommodation providers and the artists who live all across this amazing part of the world,

A Lifetime of Memories in Boyland

By Keer Moriarty Allen and Evelyn Hinchcliffe are looking forward to new beginnings when they move from their Boyland property at the end of October.

It will be the end of over 100 years of family history for Allen, whose grandfather, Harry Hinchcliffe, bought the 98 acre property in 1908.

“I think he paid 500 pounds, which would have been a lot of money in those days,” laughed Allen.

The family had a dairy farm and they sent the milk to Kingston on the railway.

“Mr Barrett used to take it into Beaudesert on the horse and wagon, but when the railway was built it was very handy to take it to Kingston.”

The Boyland Railway

Station was located close to the back of the property, and in its heyday it boasted a large home and Station Master.

Allen has lived on the property his whole life, his father William ‘Bill’ Hinchcliffe continued the dairy farm which, like many properties in the area, eventually changed to beef cattle.

He has seen many changes over his time in the area, and remembers when the local cattlemen used to drove cattle to the sale yards on horseback.

“Arthur Finch used to drive cattle to the Beaudesert sale and Dad used to go in sometimes.”

“They used to leave the cattle in Hart’s dip yard overnight and sleep at Jesse Hart’s place.”

“There was a chap on Tamborine Mountain, who has passed away

Evelyn and Allen Hinchcliffe at their Boyland home. now, Ned Hansford, who told me he used to bring cattle from Tamborine Mountain down the goat track, meet up with Finches, then from the dip yard he’d ride back up the track.”

At 83 years, he and Evelyn felt it was time

to downsize to a smaller property near Boonah.

“We’re going from 100 acres to one acre - downsizing the acreage,” said Evelyn.

They are looking forward to exploring the area in the west of the Scenic Rim.

Allen and Evelyn are both keen bushwalkers and Allen has hiked up Tamborine Mountain from his Boyland property several times .

“I can still get about, just not as fast,” he laughed.

Feel Better with Suzanne

By Keer Moriarty

It took Suzanne Leyshan just under three months to write ‘Feel Better’ but it was the result of a lifetime of work.

Suzanne has lived just outside Canungra on her 60 acre horse property, Klemley Park, with her husband Jeff and children Jack and Abbey since 2008.

She trained as a draftsperson and then as a graphic designer before discovering Emmett Therapy through a practitioner who came out to the property to treat a friend’s horse.

Since then, Suzanne has undertaken extensive training in Emmett Therapy and has been a practitioner for humans, horses and other animals for the past four years.

“Emmett deals with the body’s communication system like an auto-electrician does for cars,” says Suzanne.

“I have been able to help many bodies so far and also love spreading Emmett Technique through teaching.”

Feel Better is not focussed on Emmett Therapy, but is an easy to read manual for life.

The book begins by explaining in simple terms the functions of the various body parts and how they work and the importance of wellness.

She explains that many people know what they should do, but they don’t get around to doing it.

“It becomes a case of ‘shoulda’ - people find it too hard to get into good habits because they don’t know where to start, or they aim too high initially,” said Suzanne.

Feel Better gives a roadmap to good health, starting with the real basics - breathing, drinking water and exercise before going on to give an overview of complementary therapies, and easy ways to tell if you need to make changes to your day to day routine.

As Suzanne says, “I’m feeling better than I have in years, now it’s your turn.”

Feel Better is available from Canungra Hub Cafe.

Future Strong at Beaudesert High

By Susie Cunningham Connecting with the community and prioritising student needs underpin the way Grant Stephensen leads Beaudesert High, where he is four months into his role as Acting Principal.

He brings with him more than 20 years of experience in education, mostly at sporting schools, and a deep belief in the role sport can play in engaging students.

“I’ve played sport ever since I could walk, and I started rugby league when I was five years old playing with the under 7s, running around with no shoes on in the red dirt,” he said.

“Sport went a long way to keeping me engaged at school. I know the ben-

efits sport can have on a student’s self-esteem, giving them connection and pride beyond their schoolwork.”

Mr Stephensen said listening to students was key to engagement.

“As with all change, there’s excitement about what’s next and so many new ideas. I can hear a very strong student voice advocating to me about what they want and need around the school. The three big ones are sport, the arts and agricultural sciences,” he said.

He said he was in it for the long haul, and he could see plenty of room for growth at Beaudesert High.

“I don’t think you should apply for a job like this unless it’s a longterm prospect. A school

is a community asset so if you’re going to come in and work with the community you’ve got to invest heavily. Luckily, I’ve got a very supportive family and a wife who’s allowing me the time and effort to do a quality job here,” he said.

Canungra has a long association with Beaudesert State High School, being one of the major feeder schools.

Areas to the west of Canungra such as Birnam, Biddaddaba and Boyland are currently in the Beaudesert State High School catchment area however students outside the catchment area who have an interest in attending Beaudesert State High School are encouraged to apply for enrolment.

What’s Going on at BSHS with

Grant Stephenson PRINCIPAL BSHS

The end of the year is approaching and the final details are being worked out for our many Signature Programs. Since my arrival I’ve been engaging with students to find out their goals and passions, and from these discussions staff have developed a collection of programs to nurture enthusiasm and ability, whether sporting, academic, creative or practical.

Students have a wide variety to choose from, in Sports (Rugby League, Soccer and Volleyball), STEM, Automotive, Arts and Agricultural Studies – including Equestrian, starting next year.

Throughout my career I’ve seen the positive impact of these programs on young people. Enthusiasm is contagious!

All students here at Beaudesert SHS are empowered to drive their own learning through academic and personal goal-setting each term, via Get Connected classes with a caring and responsive teacher who follows each student through their 6 years of education.

Families wishing to enrol in our many Signature Programs may do so by completing our out-ofcatchment enrolment forms, however spaces are limited and early enrolment will get preference.

Please visit our website for more information, or just give our friendly staff a call and we will be sure to assist you.

I am very excited for the 2022 school year and I know our students will be very successful, both in and outside of the classroom.

Until next time ...

Men’s Shed Saving Wildlife

By Keer Moriarty Local possums will be sleeping better soon with 16 new possum boxes put together by the Canungra Men’s Shed recently.

The boxes will assist local wildlife carers to keep possums healthier.

Previous designs have been altered to include hinged lids.

“The hinged lids make a huge difference,” said wildlife carer Bren Dalby.

“It means if the possum is sick we can open the lid to get it out and treat it, rather than having to take the box apart.”

The men also added a lock to ensure goannas and other predators are not able to open the lid.

The boxes were made possible through a $500

Page 14

donation by Canungra Chamber of Commerce for materials.

Canungra Men’s Shed President, Ian Taylor said there is a core group of five to ten men meeting on a Thursday morning at the Shed now.

“It has made a huge difference to the men who come here, and we are doing work that is benefitting the community as well.”

“It is working exactly the way it should be.”

Ian took over the position of President from the inaugural President, Norm Graham.

“Norm has done a huge amount of work to get the Canungra Men’s Shed off the ground and we all really appreciate his efforts and his continued involvement,” said Ian.

The Scarecrow trail is definitely on and the dates are 11th to 20th September. Advertisements in papers, web site and face book will be appearing in early June providing all the detail. We hope to have a special guest on the Mountain who may open the festival and then provide an activity for families on Saturday 12th September. The Lantern Parade and other activities are subject to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. We have set a date of 1st August for a decision.

The talk of Scarecrow Town is who will be the winner this year? We can put smiles back on faces by putting scarecrows out on the trail and entering the competitions. We are sure that Scarecrow Senior Poetry will be on and children can take part in their Colouring In and Poetry competitions.

Entry is free and Entry Forms will be at various locations around the Mountain and on our web site for those off the Mountain who are coming to engage.

So, the message is: put huge coloured circles around the 11-20 Septemb er on your calendars, get your planning hats on for making a Scarecrow display or visiting the Mountain. If visiting, consider an overnight stay, enjoy our fabulous sunset and visit some of our attractions.

The Committee is keen to have a festival in whatever format is possible because it brings the community together and that is what we will need by Septemb er.

So, please plan on producing a scarecrow or visiting and staying on the Mountain and, if we can get the lantern parade and other activities up and running, we will do so.

Regards, Nigel Waistell Scarecrow Coordinator, Tamborine Mountain Chamber of Commerce

Australia Day Awards Open Nominations for the 2022 Scenic Rim Australia Day Awards are now open across four categories, highlighting the significant contributions of community groups and citizens of all ages.

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen said the awards program was an important opportunity to recognise the many selfless and hardworking community members who make a positive difference in the lives of others throughout the Scenic Rim. “Our Australia Day Awards celebrate community champions and quiet achievers who make the Scenic Rim such a great place to live and visit,” he said.

“It’s really important for us, as a community, to recognise the people who epitomise the character of our region, and shine a spotlight on their community events that showcase the best of the Scenic Rim. “I encourage every-

one to take the time to nominate a friend, a family member, a work colleague or a community leader who you feel is worthy of recognition for their contribution to our region, it is a simple yet powerful way to say thank you.”

The 2022 Scenic Rim Australia Day Awards will be presented at a ceremony on 26 January at The Centre, Beaudesert, across four categories: • Community Event • Citizen of the Year Award (16 – 30 years) • Citizen Of The Year Award (31 – 65 years) • Citizen Of The Year Award (65+ years).

Further details are available on Council’s website and nominations can be made online at www.scenicrim.qld.gov. au/australia-day-awards or at any of Council’s Customer Contact Centres or Libraries.

Nominations close at 4.30pm on Monday 22 November 2021.

An Evening of Opera

Country Mile Escape hosts Murray and Trish Wilson, with co-hosts Monique Morcus and Karen MacAndrew from Aussie Lifestyle Properties were delighted in being able to host an evening of opera with Tenori at Country Mile Escape on Saturday 16 October.

This event was held as part of Turning Canungra Pink to help raise funds and awareness for all types of cancer.

Trish said it was wonderful to see a crowd of

100 people come and support the evening, with guests travelling from the Gold Coast and as far as Brisbane.

“Guests loved the outdoor atmosphere of the evening with an electric performance from Tenori,” said Trish.

Guests enjoyed platters from local supplier The Platter Company and local wines from Canungra Valley Vineyard.

The event was held in Country Mile Escape’s beautiful gardens set

against the backdrop of the spectacular Flying Fox Valley.

Trish would like to thank the businesses of Canungra.

“The support that goes into the month of October to raise funds and awareness, with each year trying to raise that little bit more for a great cause is phenomenal.”

“I would also like to thank the Scenic Rim Regional Council, for assisting the Tenori event with a $1,000 grant.

Keeping It Up Right

By Keer Moriarty Who do you think are the most at-risk motorcycle riders?

Young riders who have just gotten their licences, right? Wrong.

Statistically, almost half of the fatalities on Queensland roads in the past year have been motorcyclists, but not necessarily new young riders.

Which is where the ‘Keeping It Up Right’ course comes in.

Although all ages and levels of experience are welcome, the course is aimed at returning riders.

These riders (often men) rode bikes in their late teens and early twenties and then had families, sold their bikes then return to riding when they are in their forties, fifties or sixties.

The first of these courses was run by Smart Rider Academy at Jimboomba State School in October.

Most of the men who attended (I was the only

woman and the only L plater) had held their motorcycle licence since their youth, so even those who hadn’t ridden for over ten years weren’t restricted in what they could ride.

They ride high powered machines with high powered new technology.

The bikes these guys had were huge and included a six cylinder machine that made my MT03 look like a baby’s bike in comparison!

Sgt Rob Duncan from Jimboomba Police said this can be what puts returning riders at risk - the combination of the power of the machine and a rider who has been off the bike for an extended period.

The course included a video presentation by Darren Smith of Logan Police. His message was clear: “You must be constantly aware of what is happening around you.”

“Motorcycle riding re-

Stephen McDowall of Smart Rider Academy described the culture on the road as ‘pretty bad’.

“In seventy per cent of cases the rider is blatantly ignoring their safety. We can’t control what the car

driver does.”

Attendees ranged from people who wanted to improve their skills through to a gentleman in his sixties who was riding again after a 15 year break.

Smart Rider Academy has funding for 700 riders to go attend the course.

The program is the initiative of Queensland

Police and supported by funding from the Transport and Main Roads Community Road Safety Grants scheme, making the course affordable at only $50 per person.

You must have seen her, silver faced Tess, gracing the front step of Aussie Lifestyle Properties, watching the increasing Canungra activities, accepting pats and welcoming clients.

Tess, a terrier cross, was adopted by Karen and Monique from AWL at two years old and was immediate friends with their previous dog, Charlie.

Now at 14 years, Tess is living her best life, trotting the floorboards of her traditional workers cottage home, being taken for ‘walks’ in her stroller (found for her by Canungra Op Shop) and providing quiet camaraderie to office staff.

Karen and Monique say that Tess is very cuddly and likes to be constantly close, loved their recent five week outback caravanning tour but hates storms so much that they can often predict a storm from Tess’ behaviour.

Originally from Bundaberg, the Rankin family first selected land on Beechmont in the late 1800s, moving to the area early in the next century.

George Rankin (Snr), his wife Maria moved to the area with their teenage sons Ernie, Edgar, George, Bill and school age daughters Elsie and Nell in 1903.

They were hard times. Much of Beechmont in those days was native forest, huge gum trees and scrub land and the family worked hard to make their home from local timber.

Along with their cousins, the Sharps, the family intended to grow and can fruit in the area.

They planted and grew stone fruit which bore large amounts of quality fruit, but the fruit fly was devastating and it soon became clear that this plan would not work.

Eventually, Edgar travelled to Northern New South Wales and saw similarities to the Beechmont landscape. He realised the thriv-

ing dairy industry in that area would also flourish on Beechmont.

The family set to work, clearing forests and scrub and planting grass seeds for future herds. At first they planted paspalem but the grass was not suitable for the area and eventually someone brought kikuyu runners up to Beechmont, which is primarily what is grown on the mountain today.

When the land was ready the Rankin family went to New South Wales to collect the first of their dairy herd.

They bought their dairy cattle from Alphavale stud in Lismore, droving them through Numinbah gap and up the side of Beechmont.

The extended family worked the dairy, the children helping out as well.

A carrier came from Gilston to collect the cream cans. He would leave home on Monday morning, camp overnight and take the cream cans home on Tuesday.

The Canungra Times – November 2021

Beechmont Buzz

On Wednesday he took the cream to Nerang Railway Station where it was loaded on a train to Tweed Heads, a boat to Murwillimbah and then by train to Byron Bay Butter Factory.

From 1905 to 1907 several families moved to Beechmont from the Richmond River region of New South Wales (including the Camerons, Slingsbys, Garlintons and Moffatts), bringing with them quality dairy cattle.

Edgar Rankin later married Fay Finch of Canungra. The couple worked the dairy farm ‘Lillianvale’ until it was sold to Mick Veivers.

George Rankin (Snr) was also a pioneer of the macadamia nut industry in Queensland.

He planted macadamias on his Beechmont property, shipping the nuts around the world as far as Hawaii.

Today, Phil Rankin is the only remaining descendant of George and Maria still living on Beechmont.

Phil and his wife Lou ran the Rankin family dairy farm until deregulation affected the industry.

Today they enjoy living in the family home which was built in 1923.

As Robert Longhurst describes in Taming A Plateau: A History of the Beechmont District, “The Mountain was effectively transformed in less than two decades into a prosperous dairy region.”

Gwingana Bushland Reserve

The second in our tour of Beechmont Reserves is the Gwingana Bushland Reserve which is a tiny piece of land high up on Gwingana Court.

Until a couple of years ago this reserve appeared to be just a collection of weeds including Moth Vine, Privet, Giant Devil’s Fig, Groundsel, Lantana and Camphor Laurel under a canopy of more established rainforest trees.

With the help of funds from the Federal Government Communities Environment Program we were able to employ con-

tractors to help get rid of these weeds. A couple of Landcare Working Bees have been held to plant and tend seedlings of native species with enjoyable morning teas hosted by nearby members.

This activity has motivated local householders to be more involved and interested in the Reserve.

On our last group visit in September members were thrilled to see all the native plants that are growing back.

The area is already abundant with birdlife and our gentle nudge away from exotic to na-

tive species helps to provide more of a balance that favours native fauna.

Gwingana Reserve was very close to where the fires swept through in September 2019. It is hoped that by replacing the weeds with rainforest trees this area will be more resilient to fire should it ever return.

It has been a case study of what can be achieved with a modest Government grant and community engagement. The surrounding housing estate can look forward to seeing it develop into a rich biodiverse oasis.

Canungra’s History by

Text taken from the book Canungra Heritage 1879 - 1979 by M Curtis The 1914 – 1918 War ended abruptly in November 1918 and the news was telephoned to Canungra.

Such was the relief that people celebrated then and there. The (timber) mill hands stopped work and the whole head of steam was blown off by tying down the whistles startling the countryside for miles around.

Armistice Day was celebrated a couple of weeks later, 30 November 1918 when the whole district gathered for a Procession and Sports Day. The “Worst Turnout” was won by Mick Corcoran and Company.

When the soldiers re-

nicRim #OneSce

turned they brought back the “Spanish” flu.

When this pneumonic flu struck Canungra in 1919 the school was taken over as a hospital.

Sister Dennis from Beaudesert was in charge, and Dr Cook and Josephine and Sybil Delpratt (Tamborine House) nursed others at Leighton House.

Two maternity cases died, Mrs Falkenhagen and Mrs Vin O’Brien, but one baby survived and still lives in Canungra (1979).

Matt Braiden (Ambulance Officer) visited many outlying properties to give what aid he could.

Now, 100 years later we are again struggling with a pandemic – COVID! Now we have perma-

The Canungra Times – November 2021

Thank You Turning Canungra Pink Team The hard working committee, led by Joanne, put together an extensive and varied program of events this year, with something for everyone. The town decorations have looked amazing especially in the night light and congratulations to all involved for their conscientious work and energetic contribution to a wonderful cause.

Wild Dog Issues I am aware some residents have had issues with wild dogs on their properties at night and I encourage any land owners in this situation to contact Council’s Animal Management officers on 5540 5111 so they can assist where possible.

Council has a biannual baiting program which is not always possible on some smaller land holdings but if they are aware of

the problem areas can target the adjoining larger land holdings.

Are You Ready?

Scenic Rim residents should have received a disaster preparedness pack in the mail so I encourage you to prepare your homes and businesses and have an evacuation plan in place, for your families and your pets.

Make sure you have the Disaster Dashboard downloaded - disasterdashboard.scenicrim.qld.gov. au as this is a valuable tool to check weather events, road status, power outages, river heights and emergency updates.

Bitumen Resealing Council has commenced the resealing of 230 sections of bitumen road throughout the region between now and December.

The road sections are selected on a priority basis following a condition assessment by experts every three years with annual

reviews by Council officers.

In the Canungra area Coburg Rd, Duncan St and a section of Monarch Dr and Beechmont Rd have been resealed.

Thank you to the two residents who contacted council directly following the reseal of Coburg Road which experienced some issues in the sudden hot weather. The resealing process not only improves the road surface but acts as a waterproof barrier to improve the longevity of the road.

Annual Report The Scenic Rim Regional Council Annual Report for 2020/2021 has been adopted

and is now available for residents to view on the website or in hard copy at the libraries and Customer Contact Centres.

Silt On Beaudesert Nerang Road I can assure residents that Compliance officers have investigated the property and all operational works are in accordance with their permits, however the rain event produced double the amount expected hence the retention basin overflowed despite walls being built up in anticipation of the event.

The contractors onsite will continue to work closely with Council and the relevant State agencies.

CONTACT ME I am always available to residents by telephone on 5540 5111 or 0407 630 052 or by email virginia.w@scenicrim.qld.gov.au I am at Canungra Library on the second Saturday of each month from 9am -11am to talk to residents. The next date is 13 November.

COUNCIL WATCH WITH AMANDA HAY

Email: frangipani1956@msn.com The following are my views, not those of the Editor. Any threats of legal action can be directed to me.

Bouquet A Parliamentary probe into the Office of the Independent Assessor has been announced by the State Government.

Hopefully the treatment of complainants and Council’s complaints process will come under scrutiny.

Brickbat Council decision received 22 October 2021 regarding my formal complaint about Council failing to make a planning decision within the required time frame (see

Page 32

court appeal 2001 of 2021 below).

Council has found a new “out” to avoid actually dealing with complaints (there were three similar decisions made on the same day).

“Administrative action complaints can only be made by an affected person” ie someone apparently directly affected. I have been deemed to be only “somewhat affected” and further investigation would be an “unjustifiable use of resources”.

Why do we have leg-

islatively required time frames if they are treated as optional?

Also: “So a failure by Council to reach a decision and the subsequent deemed refusal has minimal impact on you.” Really? Why have I been in court representing 43 of the 45 Co-respondents

by Election supporting council’s pathetic “deemed refusal” if I am minimally impacted?

Every single ratepayer within the Scenic Rim is impacted when council fails to make a decision which then gives rise to a court appeal.

Bouquet In a commendable act of transparency, the SRRC Annual Report 2020-2021 tabled at council’s ordinary meeting of 19 October 2021 stated: “Leaving the recordings (of Council meetings) on the website

for access at any time demonstrates Council is genuine about being open and transparent with Scenic Rim communities”….but where can we, the rate-paying public and media representatives, listen to the audio of the meetings during which discussions re development applications to be voted upon by council take place?

Development Applications OPW21/047 – Lot 6, 7-39 Finch Rd, Canungra. Lodged 14 October 2021: Vegetation clearing, earthworks, stormwater and drainage civil works. Why wait for the outcome of the court appeal?

GROW YOUR OWN with

Bill O’Sullivan

TULLAMORE FARM When we think pollinators we tend to instinctively think about the role of our traditional European Honey Bees.

We have many other pollinators here in Australia and our own Native Bees don’t receive the attention they deserve.

They are custom built for Australian conditions. Most of us know very little about these amazing insects. Many people think they are very similar to European Bees. We have over 1,800 different species of Native Bees in Australia. Only 12 of these varieties live in colonies. Even the colony varieties do things quite differently to European Bees.

The majority of Native Bees live a solitary lifestyle. Yes, largely alone.

Most hatch alone with no support structure. The different

varieties range in size from just less than two millimetres long to types like the Great Carpenter Bee which grow to 24 millimetres in length.

More and more Australians are purchasing Native Bee hotels and that’s great.

Around 25% of our Native bees will use them for laying their eggs. Unfortunately many purchased native bee hotels are too narrow and most are imported – think heavily fumigated (required to enter Australia).

There are many good reasons to help these wonderful little insects but I will focus on just one.

They are phenomenal pollinators but their range is tiny compared to European Bees.

They have a range of up to around 500 metres and less if enough food is available for them, whereas Europeans will

A much shorter feeding range may mean a better chance of survival when you consider what kinds of chemical sprays someone a few streets away may be using at their property.

As we have learned more and more about these amazing in-

sects we have tried to do more to keep our native bees and grow their numbers.

Like most things they need food and shelter. That varies significantly between varieties.

Encourage them and watch the improvement in your fruit and vegetable yield.

TRY TO LOVE AN

Australian Brush Turkey

By Susan Cully

The chicks emerge by digging up through a meter of mound material, they are born as orphans, receiving no parental care, able to look after themselves.

Many gardeners do not appreciate them. However, as much as they make a mess of a formal garden they can be a joy to observe closely: the entertaining exchanges between the male and female, the composting benefits to soil and natural seed germination, the extraordinary speed of the sprinting chicks.

The eggs, bigger than a goose egg, were eaten extensively during the Great Depression, and the CWA produced recipes for Brush Turkey omelets. So widespread was the use of these birds for eggs and meat that the species was nearly wiped out.

Legislation in 1972 to protect all Australian native animals has seen bird numbers recover.

Also known as the Australian Scrub Turkey, Alectura lathami, is wellknown in eastern Australia.

Their extraordinary mounds are actually primitive nests, the size of a small car and weighing four tonnes.

These nests reflect their ancient lineage and are comparable to the nests of crocodiles.

The nest is constructed by the male.

He gathers leaf litter within an area 300 meters in diameter. He is creating territory.

The size of his mound, his expertise in construction and his attention to detail, particularly temperature regulation, is assessed by many determined females.

The organic material breaks down creating heat and that in turn incubates the eggs, replacing the usual practice of a bird sitting on eggs.

Once eggs are laid in the mound the male continuously checks the temperature by grasping samples of litter in his mouth. The mound needs to be a constant 33oC and is regulated accordingly by shifting litter material in Australian Brush Turkey or out.

ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

By Alison Ford

Rotator cuff muscles act in a collaborative way to ensure a comfortable arc of movement.

Rotator cuff tears are the leading cause of shoulder pain and shoulder-related disability. They can be caused by degenerative changes, repetitive micro traumas, severe traumatic injuries, atraumatic injuries and secondary dysfunctions.

Traumatic injury to the rotator cuff can be caused by falling on an outstretched hand, by an unexpected force when pushing or pulling, or during shoulder dislocation.

Atraumatic causes can be age-related muscle deterioration and excessive repetitive motions. Extrinsic factors such as impingements, muscle

overloads or repetitive stress can lead to rotator cuff tears. Intrinsic factors such as poor blood supply, general poor health, smoking, thyroid disease and ageing can also be causes.

Sometimes rotator cuff tears are completely asymptomatic.

The tear might be incidental as adaptations can be made without the person knowing about it.

Physiotherapy Management of this injury is very successful and the earlier it is started the better. It consists of Laser Therapy, Ultrasound Therapy, exercises where appropriate and taping to assist in restriction of movement causing further damage.

NATURE’S GEMS Yellow-tufted Honeyeater Lichenostomus melanops

By Melissa Whitby In recent times, I have visited Girraween National Park on several occasions to photograph the vegetation flowering and to do a spot of birdwatching.

One of the most beautiful honeyeaters in South-east Queensland is the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater and it calls Girraween National Park home.

Whilst walking in the national park, I was astounded to see many of these beautiful birds.

The Yellow-tufted Honeyeater is easily recognised from the yellow colouring on its breast, chin and forehead.

There are several races of the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater in Australia and the race that lives at

Girraween National Park is the nominate race.

Sadly, the race cassidix in the far southern reaches of the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater distribution range is critically endangered.

The overall distribution of the three races of Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters extends from Victoria through New South Wales to as far north as central Queensland.

Usually these birds are very active early in the morning and many can be heard calling and seen feeding in the same area.

They are particularly drawn to areas where food is prevalent and there is thick vegetation cover in the form of thick heath or shrubs.

This can be seen at

Girraween National Park along Bald Creek.

I was also lucky enough to find a Yellow-tufted Honeyeater nesting with two chicks in late August.

The nest was cupshaped and placed down low in thick shrubbery.

The two chicks were very vocal and the parents were in constant motion bringing them food.

It was amazing to stand back and watch nature at work.

In observing the birds at the nest, I did not go too close and the photos I took were from a long way back.

For me, it was about watching these beautiful birds do their thing in their natural environments.

By early October, Girraween National Park was full of newly fledged

Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters.

It was incredible to see how many were around.

The first Yellow-tufted Honeyeater I saw was close to 20 years ago.

I remember being mesmerised by their stunning colours.

For anyone wanting to see this bird, I would

totally recommend heading to Girraween National Park from August onwards as the birds are easily seen and heard.

Girraween is a stunning place to visit and being able to observe a bird like the Yellow-tufted Honeyeater makes it exceptional.

News from St Luke’s

By Di Ayscough

It has been an interesting month at St Luke’s as we have celebrated the lives of two special Saints.

Firstly, we held our annual Pet Sunday to acknowledge the life of St Francis of Assisi.

St Francis is known as the patron Saint of the environment and animals. He loved all creatures and our pet service was attended by three very different dogs.

Firstly, there was Shirley, a 45 kilogram, much loved brindle dog who was very happy to accept Bundy, a small brown and white Jack Russell/Maltese cross.

As well Holly, a beautifully regal Corgi joined in the blessing.

I related these three very different creatures to humans. After all, we can be very different in shape, size, colour and actions and yet God loves us all.

We do not have to resemble anyone else. We can be ourselves, and enjoy being an individual yet we are all accepted under the same love and forgiveness. How wonderful is that?

More recently we celebrated the life of our own St Luke who is the patron Saint of Artists, as well as doctors and surgeons.

His writings in the Gospel of Luke in the Bible reflect family, love, sin and forgiveness, poverty and wealth.

All these things are important to us today. To help in the celebration the families of Little Lukies were invited to a time of prayer, food and fellowship.

This was a special evening and it provided a great opportunity for families to enjoy some social time together. We certainly plan to do this again.

There will also be a chance for everyone to come along on Wednesday 23rd December to enjoy an evening of Christmas Carols and celebrations. I will provide more details about this next month.

SPORT Pterodactyls on Top! MORIARTY PARK NEWS

A combination of Canungra and Tamborine Mountain players won the Grand Final in the Hinterland District Netball Association’s 13 years Division C grade.

The Tamborine Mountain Pterodactyls finished their season on top, winning the grand final 20-12 against top ranking team, Tallebudgera Tornadoes.

Coach Nicky Carr said the first quarter was the players’ best quarter, however they played exceptionally well through the game.

“What they did better in this game was controlled their emotions,” she said.

“They had played the Tornadoes earlier in the season and hadn’t beaten them until the Grand Final. They played amazingly, they were all incredible.”

This was the first year the girls had played together as a team, with two players, Amber Stephenson and Sienna Simpson, new to the Tamborine Mountain Netball Club this season.

Four of Tamborine’s seven eligible teams made the Grand Finals.

“For a small club that is huge - some of the other clubs have a lot of kids and teams so we were really happy to have so many in the final,” said Nicky.

Team Manager Kelly-Joe Uccetta said Nicky put a lot of work into training during the season, offering an extra training day and working closely with the players to improve their game.

Young Owls Take Grand Final

By Chris Jarvis Canungra Owls U12 Coach

The Canungra Owls Under 12’s team closed out a highly successful and enjoyable season for the whole club by winning their Grand Final against Southport 2-0 on Saturday 16 October.

Played at Broadbeach Soccer Club against a very strong Southport team who had hit more than 80 goals in their regular season, averaging over four goals a game, our boys put in another superb team performance.

Knowing Southport had only scored in one game against them all season, Canungra started the strongest and got into their stride with some good early passing and possession that set the tone for the game and made it clear to all watching there were no nerves to be found on the field.

Which I’m not sure could be said for the many parents and supporters around the sides.

For a group of young

men playing their first season in competitive fixtures, they have excelled in picking up and playing a mature style of football that is well beyond their years.

I wanted my boys to learn to play properly this year rather than just successfully and like on so many other occasions over the season, they were a joy to watch and got everyone involved in the game from the start.

A huge highlight for me as coach this season is how much pressing and pressure every one of our players applies to the opposition.

This pressure and possession from the Owls consistently having the ball in Southport’s half gradually began to turn into better and better chances.

Half chances then became good chances which included a brilliant headed effort from James Dougherty and another with him controlling a ball perfectly with his feet from a great height.

Things were looking good and it resulted in a really confident goal

from Will Pickering to open the scoring towards the end of the first half.

Will’s finish was as good as the timing and it lifted the lads to keep playing in the same way.

Southport are a really good team and they were always going to have chances.

Sure enough, throughout the game they tested us by attacking but we have created the tightest defence in the league.

Two equally good keepers in Mitch and Jimmy share halves each match as well as then playing at full back.

Callum Honeycombe and Cooper Power are both such natural defenders and with Jacob Jarvis defending from midfield, no team scores easy goals past them.

This proved the case with the defensive work as good as our attacking.

Mitch in goal pulled off some great saves to keep us ahead at big times.

One standout was from a free kick for Southport which will live with me for a long time. Proving that goalies do win matches and at a time that could have changed the game going into half time. Not for the first time “Great Save Mitchy!”

The second half began in a similar manner with Canungra having the lion’s share of the ball.

No player in the league wants to have Jacob hounding and tackling them on the ball and playing alongside Cohen Martin in this game, they both were able to consistently win the ball back around halfway and play in any choice of player to turn defence into attack.

Whether that was through the awesome Ollie Anderson, James,

Cooper Crook, Ryder Stevens, Noah Turner or Will just made it all the more difficult for Southport.

Noah loves playing against his former club, having scored two goals previously against them, and watching these boys attack at speed and en masse is something else.

Cohen came to us mid-season and slotted into the culture of the team perfectly.

After scoring a “worldie” from nearly the halfway line in the 5-0 semi’s win against Runaway Bay, he continued his great form with that all important second of the match.

After superb work down the wing from Cooper Crook (he loves the big games), the ball came to Cohen just outside the box and he made no mistake.

Will, who was unplayable at times, also narrowly smashed a rocket of a shot just over the bar to keep up the threat.

Midway through the second half, with the score at 2-0, my boys started to tire.

Ollie, who always gives his maximum until he is spent and then puts his hand up for a rest always helps me know.

I decided to make ‘one or two’ subs to give the lads a rest to counter this.

Throughout the season the whole team have made mistakes, but I top the charts without a doubt, and I picked my moment to drop another absolute beauty.

During a period of dominance from Southport, I substituted Jacob as he was cooked. At the same time Southport somehow scored a goal past the invincible looking Jimmy. A huge thanks to James’ dad for

‘letting us all know’ that it was offside.

The linesperson had also spotted this too and rightly cancelled it out.

Cohen then picked up a knock so yet another call of ‘Sub Ref” from me followed.

I became unsettled to see that out of nowhere Southport began to own the midfield and take over the game.

Attack after attack from them and save after save from the heroic Jimmy in goal became a theme.

Confused as to what was going on I turned to my bench to see both my midfield generals staring back at me and the realisation that it was me costing these fellas the game crushed me.

I’m big enough and old enough to not care in the slightest what other clubs might think of me at any time but letting these lads down would have been a real hard one to take.

The solution?

More substitutions.

To the slight frustration of the Southport coaches (I do have sympathy) but for the benefit of the boys, our midfield was restored.

The game swung back to Canungra and 10 minutes of difficulty suddenly became three minutes to the final whistle.

They deserved it and they won it.

You don’t always get both at the same time in life, so a great day.

The celebrations began and I am still smiling weeks later.

Southport coaches gave the team some very kind words on coming up against them through the season too and I have lost count of the times someone has taken me aside on game days to say how well my boys play the

This is other clubs saying this I may add. Our kids are class acts. Every player has had their period of self-doubt this year but the only important thing is they all came through it stronger together and finished with belief in themselves and each other.

Special mentions must go to: • Ryder for being my one player who plays in any position asked of him and plays them all well. Scores big goals, runs miles and defends like a demon.

• Ollie for scoring direct from a corner on purpose.

• Jacob playing in his first season of football ever and doing all the unseen work that every team needs but doesn’t always get. I saw it mate!

• Cohen for looking like he has known us all his life.

• James for scoring against a big team in the biggest game (tick that box) and was also

awarded the Man of the Match for the final by the Gold Coast Officials.

The season has gone on longer than my write up (just) so credit for the commitment and the family support.

The team started with a 5-0 loss away to Runaway Bay on the first game of the season, never conceded more than two goals again in any game, played some beautiful football and ended beating Runaway Bay 5-0 in the Semi Finals before winning the Grand Final a week later.

I am immensely proud of them.

If you see them around our great town, pat them on the back, they are amazingly good blokes.

Big thanks to all who made the journey to the final and cheered them on.

The boys were buzzing from it. I love stories within the story and how good is Cindi Dare giving up even more of her private time to invest yet again in some of her stu-

The Canungra Times – November 2021

dent’s lives?

What a lady and quality asset to the town and our kids we have in her.

Huge thank you to Kelley Pickering this season as our Manager. She has organised everything for everyone and was a deserved winner of the Club Person of the Year award.

I could talk all day long about how good Canungra is and the people within it.

I’ve lived and gone to

heaven moving here. The soccer club has really established its identity again over the last couple of years and that is all down to the leadership of President Cam Mansfield.

As a boy who played junior footy himself here and now as a man who has grown this club into a real place to belong, I’m inspired by what he and his family group are building right now.

He’s a proper person running a proper club for us all.

A certain Bren Dalby returning hasn’t done any harm either it must be said.

It’s a special time to be an Owl right now and if you want to buy into this spirit, grow it and are smart enough to not want to change it, sign yourself up next year.
