Enjoying the first event for October’s Canungra Turns Pink month - the Pink Shoe Party at The Shoe Vault.
Canungra Turns Pink for Cancer
The flags are out on the main street as Canungra Turns Pink to raise money and awareness for the Cancer Council. A initiative of the Canungra Chamber of Commerce and The Breeze, Canungra Turns Pink will see businesses and community organisations throughout the town rally together. Ashley Palmero, Promotions Manager from The Breeze and Rebel Media said, “Each year, the Breeze donates over $1000,000 in advertising airtime
to local charities and groups and last year we wanted to be hands on with a major fundraiser for the Cancer Council of Queensland. Many of our staff have been affected by cancer either personally or indirectly so we decided to tie in with Pink Ribbon Month and Turn Canungra Pink in October.” “Last year was a huge success, raising over $20,000 for the Cancer Council of Queensland and promoting Canungra across Logan and the Gold Coast. We
are looking forward to turning Canungra pink again and if the support we have received from the local businesses, the Canungra Chamber of Commerce and the Canungra Times so far is indicative, then this year is going to be huge.” Events include a high tea, Shoe Party, Garage Sale, Bowls Day, Markets, raffles and special promotions and donations by businesses. See the Date Claimer on page six or pages 14 and 15 of this Canungra Times for further details.

Miss Lisa’s Garden
Lisa Fay was a teacher at Canungra State School from 1998 until 2007, when tragically she was rediagnosed with cancer. She taught children of all ages and loved the town and the school community deeply. Her younger students knew her as ‘Miss Lisa’. Sadly, Lisa passed away in 2009. Her funeral was held at the Canungra School of Arts Hall where the Canungra State School Choir sang some of her favourite songs, as Lisa had requested. Lisa asked people to bring living trees to her funeral, to be planted at the School. She is buried in Canungra cemetery. During her illness, she arranged for a garden to be planted in the Prep playground for the children to play in. Lisa wanted the children to be able to use this garden, and to pick the flowers as she knew Prep students would want to do. Lisa loved children and was a dedicated mother and teacher. Please remember this very special lady as you pass by Miss Lisa’s Garden.

Bridge Renamed To Honour Family Patriarch
Canungra’s new Murphy Bridge is to be renamed in recognition of the late patriarch of the family Robert (Bob) Murphy. Mr Murphy, a prominent dairy farmer and lifelong resident of Canungra, passed away in May 2015, just shy of his 90th birthday. Council completed the replacement of the original timber Murphy Bridge, which was damaged by flooding associated by ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald in early 2013, with a new concrete structure in June of this year. Deputy Mayor and Division 3 representative Cr Virginia West said Mr Murphy had been a near daily visitor to the bridge construction site, adjacent to the family property on Murphy Rd, prior to his passing. “After the new bridge was completed in June, the Mayor and I met with the family to officially commission the new crossing,” Cr West said. “It was wonderful to hear stories from both Bob’s family and the contractors involved of the rapport he had established with the workers on the new bridge during his regular inspections and how he had been very much looking forward to its completion.” “In consultation with his family, it was proposed the new bridge be renamed Bob Murphy Bridge in recognition of his connection to the local area spanning some 89 years.” Corporate and Community Services Committee chair Cr Nigel Waistell said given the close connection to the existing bridge name, Council had waived the normal public submission period for naming proposals. “Given the significance of Mr Murphy’s contribution to the Canungra area and the fact this bridge was originally named after the family, Council has waived this process and the renaming will take effect immediately,” he said. “It is certainly an appropriate recognition of a man who was a lifelong resident and supporter of the Canungra community.”
Flying Fox Strategy Adopted
Council has adopted a new strategy for the management of Scenic Rim flying fox population. Corporate and Community Services Chair Councillor Nigel Waistell said the adoption of the Scenic Rim Flying Fox Strategy followed a six-week public consultation process in respect to the draft document. Cr Waistell said Council had received one public submission in relation to the document during the consultation period. “The strategy seeks to provide a long-term solution to managing the impact from flying foxes across the region and identifies 11 locations within the Scenic Rim where flying foxes are known to roost,” he said. “At the core of the Flying Fox Strategy is a commitment to ensuring the health and safety of the Scenic Rim community, balanced against the need to provide a habitat for our native wildlife.”

Local Groups Share in $349,000 Grants
Community groups in Canungra, along with others in the Beaudesert electorate, shared in over $349,000 in grant funding awarded through the Gambling Community Benefit Fund. Member for Beaudesert Jon Krause said the money would make a huge difference to the 13 successful local groups. “It is wonderful to see so many local organisations receiving grants to fund activities and facilities for our community,” Mr Krause said. “This terrific outcome would not have occurred without many hardworking volunteers giving their time and energy to complete the grant application process. “I remind not-for-profit groups that the next round of Gambling Community Benefit Fund opens in mid-October and closes at midnight on 30th November 2015. “I am always happy to provide support for grant applications, simply contact my office via email to beaudesert@parliament.qld.gov.au or phone 5515 1100 for more information,” he said. Local organisations to receive funding were: • Canungra State School P&C Association received $26,649 to purchase desktop computers. • Tamborine Mountain Junior Cricket Club Inc received $35,000 to install practice wickets. • Tamborine Pony Club Inc received $31,818.18 to purchase a tractor. • YMCA Canungra Outside School Hours Care received $19,578.65 to purchase furniture and equipment. • Canungra Area Golf Club received $31,818.18 to purchase ride on mower The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) Community Benefit Funds Unit (CBFU) distributes revenue from gaming taxes to various not-for-profit community groups throughout Queensland.

Funky Dory owners Alan McCloy and Jamie Quetcher
New Owners Continue to Serve Quality
Jamie Quetcher has working in hospitality all her working life, and when Funky Dory Diner owners Neville and Isabel Appleyard decided it was time to retire, she was more than happy to take over the reins. Jamie has been working at Funky Dory for nine months and is excited about joining her partner, Alan McCloy in the business. Jamie and Alan assure customers that they will be carrying on the business with the same dedication to quality and service that Neville and Isabel showed. “We won’t be changing things,” said Jamie, “Working for Neville and Isabel, I had a good chance to learn the business and we are very happy to be able to offer our customers the menu and food they have enjoyed at Funky Dory for the past five years.” The popular takeaway shop is a career change for Alan, who is a plasterer by trade but he is excited about the possibilities the business has and appreciative of the assistance Neville and Isabel have given him and Jamie. Neville and Isabel are looking forward to spending time with their children and grandchildren. “We thank the community for their support and friendship over the years, we could not have done it without them,” they said. Funky Dory will continue to open seven days a week.

Residents in the Canungra district are being inconvenienced by a lack of adequate internet services in the area. ADSL broadband is unavailable to some households due to cabling restictions or a lack of available ports at the exchange, however alternative options can be problematic and expensive. Mobile broadband services are also unreliable in many areas due to ‘black spots’. Generally this is because signals can not reach into the valleys, something that can only be fixed with additional infrastucture. Illinbah is one of the most problematic areas, with residents opting for satellite internet services which may be subsidised by the Government. However this has also been unreliable. Loretta Mineo of Illinbah described her satellite internet service as “absolutely woeful”. “I have two kids at uni and they can’t even do their study here at home. I have to drive them sometimes seven days a week and leave them at friends’ houses to do their study,” she said. Another Illinbah resident, Monique Amala said, “While we are classified as a Telstra mobile ‘black spot’ - the government subsidised satellite internet service is also a disgrace. Internet speeds are ridiculously slow (particularly in the afternoon/evening) and render any opportunity to work from home useless. I run a number of successful companies and as a result of poor services, rather than having the opportunity to employ local community members, I am forced to manage my businesses (and therefore employ) outside the local area.” Telstra Manager Darren Clarke said mobile broadband reception can be improved with external aerials. He also advised residents requesting ADSL to put an order in to Telstra even if they are told it is not available so that they are aware of the demand in the area. The wait for NBN could be a long one. NBN’s Corporate Affairs Manager - Queensland, Kylie Lindsay said NBN is rolling out a three year plan as this paper goes to print. She said at this stage there is no NBN being rolled out in the Canungra area. “In the coming weeks the NBN™ will be releasing a three year construction plan, outlining the technology and areas that will be either in build or complete within three years, “said Kylie, “I urge local residents to keep an eye out for this.” The Canungra Times would welcome any information from readers about this issue.

Canungra Ambulance Officer Jud Hart was recognised for 15 years service in September.
Community improvements worth $900,000 will be delivered in 2015-16 as part of Council’s Vibrant and Active Towns and Villages initiative. Council is funding significant projects in Beaudesert, Beechmont, Boonah, Kooralbyn and Tamborine Mountain as part of its continuing commitment to local infrastructure improvements which enhance the character of Scenic Rim communities. “Our Vibrant and Active Towns and Villages initiative delivers outcomes which respond to the current and future needs of our community by creating new vibrant and active spaces or enhancing our existing facilities,” Mayor John Brent said. Cr Brent said projects in the communities of Beechmont and Kooralbyn would also benefit from VATV funding in 2015-16. “In Beechmont we will be undertaking a significant upgrade and refurbishment of the war memorial in Graceleigh Park,” he said. “Council is committed to ensure the service and sacrifice of those from the Beechmont district continues to be recognised in a fitting manner which meets the expectations of the community. Community improvements under the 2014-15 VATV program included: • A 100m addition to the Canungra footpath loop on Lamington National Park Rd. • Canungra beautification and landscaping - Christie St, DJ Smith Park, School of Arts.

Stormchaser Turns Local Hero
Local Stormchaser Daniel Lutzke put his first aid training to good use when he came across a serious motobike crash at Advancetown on Saturday 19th September. Daniel scrambled 15 metres down the steep embankment to assist the rider who had been thrown from his bike after hitting the guardrail. The embankment was so steep that Ambulance Officers had to abseil down to the injured rider. Daniel said he took the first aid kit from his car and applied the first aid training he had recieved through Surf Life Saving and Junior Firefighters. Daniel stayed with the rider until he was safely in the ambulance. He gave the rider his own shirt to cover him after Emergency Services workers had to cut his clothes off to treat him. “He’s lucky to be alive,” said Daniel, “It was crazy, there were five ambulances, two fire trucks, one police car and my car as well as a chopper over head. Two other riders were down there with me till the firies and ambos got there.” Ros Bates MP congratulated Daniel on his bravery and quick thinking. “It is local acts of unsung heroism like this that make our community stronger, and I thank Daniel for his quick thinking and selflessness,” she said.

Orchid and Foliage Show Spectacular By Peter Rice, Secretary Beaudesert and District Orchid and Foliage Society
The Beaudesert Orchid and Foliage Society’s Spring Festival for Orchids and Foliage Plants was a great success with over six hundred visitors from across South East Queensland attending the Show. Visitors enjoyed a spectacular display of one hundred and eighty spring-flowering orchid plants and sixty-seven foliage plants, a small number of foliage plants compared to previous years, but not diminished in quality because many foliage plants are yet to awaken fully from their winter nap. Again, so many Canungra locals gave the Society their support, as well as some from the Beechmont area and a surprisingly large number
from coming down from Mount Tamborine. The Grand Champion Orchid was Dendrobium speciosum var grandiflorum exhibited by Ian Brown of the Tweed. This is a type of the king orchid that many growers have flowering now. The Grand Champion Floral Plant was a Davallia pyxidata, a fine type of Australian hare’s foot fern. This was entered by Merv and Gwen Stewart of Slacks Creek.

Scenic Rim Salutes Green Army Teams
Council has recognised the contribution of the Scenic Rim’s first Green Army participants in delivering improved environmental outcomes for the region. Mayor John Brent and Deputy Mayor Virginia West presented Green Army participants with certificates of appreciation from Council in acknowledgement of their work in the Canungra area over the past several months. Virginia said two Green Army teams had undertaken significant vegetation management work in Moriarty and Riverbend Parks. “Between them, team members planted more than 5000 trees and rehabilitated several hectares of riparian bushland. This included the removal of several tonnes of invasive weeds and plants from along the creek bank,” she said. “This work has certainly been noticed and appreciated by the local community and Council wished to acknowledge this in a formal manner. “They should rightly feel a great sense pride in what they have achieved over
100

Old
the past few months and I thank them for a job well done.” Cr Brent said Council would be sponsoring a total of eight teams from the Federal Government’s Green Army program over the next two years to assist in the delivery of works associated with Council’s Million Trees initiative. “We are undertaking an expanded range of programs to achieve improved land management and environmental outcomes across the region,” he said.
Wedding
By Carol Mahony
Nora Hart’s wedding dress is on display at the Templin Museum near Boonah until 25th October. Nora Hart was the granddaughter of Hugh Mahony - the first man of European descent to set foot in the Canungra area and take up land. Her parents were Thomas and Emma (Daniels) Mahony. Nora was born in 1886 and died in 1966 aged 80 years. On 9th December 1911 Nora married Walter Hart. They had one child, Mary Hart who lived in Canungra until her death in 2011 aged 99. She was well known in the town and very involved in the Canungra Bowls Club and St Luke’s Anglican Church. In DJ Smith Park in Canungra is “Mary’s Tree” which is a Mexican Pine brought back from a CWA conference as a seedling. It is the tree that is decorated each Christmas and is the centre piece of the Park. Page 12

“Participants in the Green Army program will be integral to this process over the next two years but in return will gain training and experience in environmental and heritage conservation. “I commend our first cohort of Green Army members for the great outcomes they have delivered in the Canungra area.” To find out more about joining the Green Army visit www.campbellpage. com.au/green-army.

Nora and Walter lived their early married life in a house rented from Amos Finch near Finch Road. In 1917 they bought a property just out of Canungra on Canungra Creek called “Irvinsford” where they built their house which still stands today. Walter and Nora initially ran cattle on the property and in 1929 they began dairy farming on their property. Walter was a timber cutter who had a Bullock Team in the Canungra District. In 1951 Nora and Walter moved into the house at 50 Kidston St, Canungra, opposite the Catholic Church. They employed share farmers to run the farm at Irvinsford. In 1961 Irvinsford was sold to John Finch. Nora’s wedding dress is still in very good condition along with Kid leather shoes. It is on display at the Templin Museum until 25th October. Templin Museum is open for visitors every Sunday 9:30-3:30 or by appointment during the week. Phone 07 5463 1970. The Canungra Times October 2015

Free breast screening and hearing checks in Beaudesert
BreastScreen Queensland and Australian Hearing are teaming up to offer free screening in Beaudesert. BreastScreen Queensland is visiting Beaudesert Hospital until mid December and eligible women are encouraged to book their free breastscreen early as appointments are expected to disappear fast. Last year saw a record numbers of ladies visiting the breast screening mobile service at Beaudesert, with more than 1300 local women having this important health check. On 21st October, members of the community can also take advantage of free hearing checks at Beaudesert Hospital, through Australia’s largest provider of hearing services. Australian Hearing will be onsite providing hearing checks for the general public from 9am until 4pm on this day, with no appointment necessary. BreastScreen Queensland health promotion officer Julia Foreman encourages people to take advantage of these free services on offer. “We know it can be difficult for people to find the time to attend screening which Page 14
BreastScreen Queensland will be in Beaudesert until December
is why we are bringing these services to Beaudesert to make it easier and more convenient for the local community,” Ms Foreman said. A breastscreen aims to detect breast cancer in its very early stages and is strongly recommended for women aged between 50 and 74 years. The Canungra Times October 2015
This free health service is available to all women from the age of 40 who do not have existing breast cancer symptoms. A mobile service will visit North Tamborine early next year. Eligible women can arrange an appointment at their nearest BreastScreen service by phoning 13 20 50.
Pop Up For Pink in the Park
Here in our beautiful community there are amongst us a number of families who are at the coalface of fighting cancer. Chrissy Keepence of “The Lindy Charm School for Girls” is one such warrior. Chrissy is a local and in the past three years she lost her father, baby sister and mother to the disease and then had to face her own cancer diagnosis in January this year. Di Crooks, the owner of Café Metz, is another such warrior, simply getting on with it whist enduring difficult treatments and difficult days. Both of these ladies have the BRCA gene that gives a predisposition to Breast and Ovarian Cancer, as do all of the females in their families and both of these ladies have tirelessly given their time and energy to raising awareness about BRCA and helping others who are struggling. Pop Up For Pink is an event to help people in our community who need a well-deserved pampering. It will be held on Saturday 3rd October from 10am - 3pm in DJ Smith Park (next to Cafe Metz). Chrissy is one of Australia’s leading Vintage Stylists and is setting up a styling booth to pamper anyone who feels they could use some TLC. On hand will be a wonderful photographer from “Redmond Photographics” who can capture your vintage make over and leave you with a memento. Chrissy goes by the motto that ‘if you look good you feel good’, even if it’s only for a moment. Chrissy’s husband Swing-a-Billy Ray will DJ some hopping swing tunes to put a pep in your step. There will be 18 (high end, real hair) stunning wigs available for anyone in the community who is in need of one because of chemo treatment. These wigs belonged to Chrissy’s sister Elisha Neave, who fought her own good fight before losing her battle with cancer last year, she would have LOVED having these go to women of our community. If you know of someone who would like to have one of these wigs please write a letter to us and tell us their story of their personal battle/journey with Cancer. Letters can be sent or dropped in to Cafe Metz, 37 Christie Street, Canungra or email to: cafemetz@bigpond.com. Letters accepted throughout October. There will be head scarves and Bandanas and Beanies all lovingly made and freely available for those who need them. Please come down and see Chrissy and Di who really want to help you share your load. This will be a fun, high energy, day filled with positivity and glamour. A day to embrace and celebrate the fabulously strong cancer warriors in our community. Call Chrissy on 0409 727 888 to book in your FREE Vintage Makeover on the day. Open to all Cancer Warriors, Previvors and Survivors, or just turn up for a pamper at our Pop Up For Pink Pamper Salon.

Faith Restored
From My Window with Keer Moriarty, Editor
Lives Cut Short This month, Canungra Turns Pink to raise money for the Cancer Council, as well as awareness of this devastating illness. Research and new treatments have prolonged and saved many lives but this disease, which can take many forms, remains one of the leading causes of death in Australians today. In 2012, 43,000 people died from cancer-related illness. Three out of ten deaths were from Cancer. Those who do survive are often affected by the illness or the treatment for the rest of their lives, from loss of limbs or organs or reduced functionality. So as you see the pink flags, decorated buildings and pink t-shirts around Canungra this month, pause to remember those who have fought this illness and survived. Spare some change when you can for the tins that are in businesses around town, buy a Canungra Turns Pink T-shirt, or attend one of the many fundraising events during the month.
Just lately I have despaired at what is happening to our youth, especially their inability to communicate without Social Media and the lack of real friends, not just faces on a computer screen. I also thought, why would I bother with the Halloween tradition, due to our old age and the fact that my husband is an invalid. I usually make about 200 toffees and the kids are usually appreciative, but as people come from everywhere and the numbers grow it has become a bit much. Wow!! All of a sudden my faith has been restored, about eight young ladies aged about 17 or thereabouts all beautifully dressed on their way out together walking up Picnic Place, saw me struggling up my driveway and called out to me asking me could they bring my garbage bin up for me. They had been talking together with not a mobile in sight and they looked so happy. Made me think all is not lost and maybe things will turn around and a whole new social fashion will emerge where friendship and fun through face to face communication will spread happiness, with no need for any horrible drug and it’s dreadful consequences. I’m sure primary school youngsters will lead the way, as at present they always smile as they pass me and are usually polite. We must encourage them. I also notice how so many young people come to help me put the wheelchair in the car when I’m at a shopping centre, this makes my husband and I emotional and we have teary eyes we are so grateful. So I’ll now continue with the Halloween tradition, as I’ve decided there is hope. Just issue a plea to the kids to please use the driveway and not the garden this year. I’m too old to clean up the mess. Keep a smile on your faces and the candle of hope burning. Jan
Cancer has taken so many of our residents, our friends and family. I’m sure everyone knows at least one person who has been affected by this disease, if not more.

Council Comment By Cr Virginia West Scenic Rim Regional Council
Canungra Turns Pink For October
This annual event hosted by the Canungra Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with Breeze FM, sees a whole month of diverse “pink” themed activities with all proceeds going to Breast Cancer Research. Last year the community raised $20,000 overall so the target is higher for this year. This event certainly puts Canungra on the map and was even spoken about in Federal Parliament last year by Scott Buchholtz, Member for Wright. Christie St is looking fantastic adorned with pink banners and The Shoe Vault Pink Shoe Party hosted to commence the event was a great fun evening. Thank you Nora. You may notice Council’s Facebook page sporting a pink theme this month in support of this initiative.

Well Being
A Short Thank- You
With Clancy Beck
Spring Clearing
Lack of energy is a major cause of why people don’t feel like exercising, and it’s often not a physical condition, but an emotional one. Here’s a hypothetical energy-zapping day: You wake and worry about your work day ahead, you think about exercising but can’t be bothered, then feel a failure for constantly procrastinating. You get frustrated with the kids, annoyed with your partner, the car won’t start and you’re late for work. Your desk is a mess and you’ve lost the ‘to do’ list you made yesterday. To ease your frustration you eat cheesecake for morning tea, and vow to start your exercise program tomorrow. That evening you dislike what you see in the mirror and regret the cheesecake. The kids drive you insane, you blame them for your lack of energy, you worry about your parenting skills, and grab a beer or wine to ease your tension. Exhausted you crash on the sofa, watch a depressing newscast and some mindless reality TV. Imagine that you get 100 energy dollars deposited into your account every day. You’ve got complete control over how you spend them. Are you wasting them on worry, holding grudges or blaming others? Every one of these frustrations, worries, negative thoughts and emotions leak energy dollars from your account. You’ve used all your dollars - and none of them were spent doing something creative or rewarding! If you get a late night it’s like an overdraft, meaning you might start the next day with only 90 dollars. To increase your personal energy stores take a look at where your energy is leaking. Go through every area of life (physical body, emotions, relationships, living circumstances, finances, work, health, etc) and notice which things drain you. Think of at least one thing you can do to lessen or remove it. Maybe a conversation to ease a draining relationship, get the car serviced, tidy your desk and office, pack a healthy snack for work, or spend time to clear out closets to tidy your living area. It’s Spring! Time to prune out the dead wood, and let new shoots grow!
Canungra agency now open
The Hall family would like to extend our appreciation to the Canungra and Tamborine Village communities following the loss of our baby boy, Reilly, in February. Throughout what was an extremely difficult time, we were reminded again and again how fortunate we are to live in this wonderful place. We received lots of lovely messages of support from so many people, too many to list here, but we do want to make mention of some very special people in particular: Kate from Hinterland Harvest Catering, who together with Leigh Karolak, dropped everything to come to our home and provide such an amazing spread of beautiful food on the day of Reilly’s Service, and refused to accept anything in return. Laura Quinn, who took it upon herself to organise a massive fundraising effort for Sids and Kids Qld, in honour of Reilly. This took the form of donation boxes in businesses throughout Canungra, a sausage sizzle at Foodworks and a raffle, the wonderful prizes being generously donated by local businesses. Sids and Kids is a very special and unique organisation that provides the type of support that is difficult to adequately describe. To all the businesses involved and to everyone who donated, thank-you. Robyn and the quilting ladies who approached us and said they would like to produce a quilt for Reilly’s big brother Flynn. It is beautiful and even has dinosaurs. Thank you, Flynn loves it! The Lions Club of Tamborine Village who provided all sorts of things such as tables, chairs, marquees, crockery etc on the day of Reilly’s Service. We’re sure this is just another example of the sort of work that the Lions do day in, day out, quietly and without fuss, for so many people in need, in all kinds of situations. Last but by no means least, our wonderful customers, so many of whom sent messages of support, every one of which was very much appreciated.

Nature’s Gems Cape Barren Goose (Cereopsis novaehollandiae) By Melissa Whitby
Goodie is a big, sweet hunk of love! This beautiful Bull Arab cross Mastiff girl is looking for a home where she can live with another calm, friendly doggy and be a big part of her family’s life. She can be quite shy, and is looking for a confident owner to teach her the world is not such a scary place. She enjoys her beach walks and walks well on leash. Goodie is five years old and is $250. She is vaccinated, wormed and desexed.
Georgie has previously lived with children, cats and a dog. He likes to to be held and also sits on your lap. Georgie is an affectionate, friendly boy who will make a great new member of the family. At only six years of age, Georgie’s easy going nature will ensure he fits in well with almost any household. Georgie is $50 and is vaccinated, wormed and desexed. Adopting an adult cat or dog has a lot of advantages - their personality has already been formed so you will have a good idea of what they are like and whether they will suit you; they may have already had some basic training; you don’t have to go through the destructive puppy stage; and they still have a lot of love to give. To meet Georgie, Goodie or any of the other animals, visit the AWL Gold Coast Rehoming Centre.

One of the most recognisable birds that I encountered in Tasmania was the Cape Barren Goose. This beautiful bird is easily recognised by its distinctive goose shape, steel-grey feathers and white patch on the top of the head. In the 1950’s, it was feared that the numbers of the Cape Barren Goose had dropped so low that the species was heading for extinction. Various conservation measures such as introducing the birds to locations such as Maria Island have helped to increase the numbers of Cape Barren Goose. I was able to observe this bird at close quarters on Maria Island in Tasmania. The birds have no fear on Maria Island and I took many amazing photos. However, it pays to be careful when observing these birds at close quarters, especially if young birds are present. Respecting the birds ‘private space’ is vital to having the ultimate viewing experience. The favoured habitat of the Cape Barren Goose is offshore islands and brackish lakes and swamps. Offshore islands along the coast of southern Australia including the Furneaux group, Kangaroo Island, Recherche Archipelago and Hunter group of northwest Tasmania make-up the distribution of the Cape Barren Goose. Some of these islands are vital to the survival of the species as the birds choose these areas to breed. The nest of the Cape Barren Goose usually has 5 eggs and is placed amongst the tussocks of its grassland home. Cape Barren Geese will usually feed on select native grasses and succulents. However, if food is in short supply, birds will utilise improved pastures as a food source. The future of the Cape Barren Goose is looking bright. The numbers of the birds are steadily increasing and many of their nest sites are protected. They were certainly not a hard bird to see in Tasmania but it was a thrill to be so close to such a unique Australian bird species. I will certainly look forward to the next Cape Barren Goose time that I see a Cape Barren Goose in the wild…

School Happenings - Canungra State School Talent Quest
September saw the start of the Canungra State School Talent Quest live auditions. Students danced, sang and performed tricks in front of a very receptive audience each morning tea. Thanks to the parents who have come along to support, it has been very entertaining. The finals were held on the last day of school and results will be in the next edition of The Canungra Times.
The cubby houses were built by Year 12 students from Pacific Pines State High School who design and create the houses as part of their Manual Arts course.
Year 5 Camp
The Year 5 Camp was held from 7th to 9th September. Mrs Hadwen visited the students and said they were having a wonderful time with some students asking if they ‘could stay a week?’
Show Your True Colours
The student council organised a fundraiser for Friday, 4th September. Students were asked to wear their team colours or team uniforms to school to support the ‘Show Your True Colours’ cause which raises money for kids and teenagers suffering with cancer. Students brought a gold coin to school as a donation towards this worthy cause and raised a total of $170. Congratulations to the student council for their ongoing support of charities that focus on childhood issues.
Green Team Working Bee
The sun was shining on Saturday 5th September for the Green Team Working Bee. It was fantastic to see so many parents and students out working in Miss Lisa’s Garden, which has been weeded and new plants and mulch added. Thanks so all involved, it was both a productive and fun few hours. Cubby Houses The Canungra State School P and C Association have purchased three cubby houses to enhance our playgrounds and give students a new avenue to develop their creativity, co-operation and imaginative play. Two of the cubby hourses will be in the Prep area and the third beside the playground at the front of the school.
There are some time after parade to allow students to state what they thought Aim High looked like at Canungra. Mrs Hadwen then invited students to draw or write what Aim High means to them and hand them in to me. Thank you to all the students and parents who have provided examples of what they believe Aim High looks like. Please keep those ideas coming in. Thank you also to the staff who have been discussing Aim High with their students.
Regional Athletics Carnival
Saxon and Trad successfully qualified for the South Coast Regional Track and Field Championships. Saxon has been selected for 11 years High Jump, and the 200m and 800m track events. Trad was selected for the 12 years 800m and 200m track events. Congratulations to both boys on a fantastic achievement.
Aim High
A few weeks ago on Parade the Principal, Shirley Hadwen, spoke to the students about the school motto – Aim High. Students looked at some visual representations about the concept of Aim High such as – achieve, champions, dreams, goals, stand tall, success, don’t give up, discipline, positive attitude. Mrs Hadwen then spoke about what that might look like at Canungra State School and some of the words/phrases I used were – Respect for ourselves and others, Doing our best, Positive attitudes, Working hard, Role models, Doing the right thing, Following rules, Pride in ourselves and our school, Persistence, Confidence, Resilience, Organisation and Getting Along.
Magpie Season
With the weather warming up, the local magpies are nexting the large trees at the front of Prep. There have already been several reports of the birds swooping so please be aware and take care as you walk along the footpath.

For children to be eligible to attend Prep in 2016 they must have been born between 1st July 2010 and 30th June 2011. Parents can collect an enrolment pack and Prep handbook from the school office from the start of Term Four.
Farewell Jana
On of the special people who make up the Canugnra team left at the end of Term Three. Jana Zehr, the Business Service Manager who has done a fabulous job of runing the school finances has decided to retire. She will be greatly missed by the school community.
By Fiona Williams, greenteamcss@gmail.com
On behalf of our Green Team I would like to say a huge thank you to all the families who attended our Working Bee last month. We had an amazing turn out of nearly 40 people! It always warms my heart to see how many wonderful families we have in our school community! Many hands did indeed make light work and we were able to completely overhaul the garden at the front of Prep. This garden also incorporates a memorial to our former teacher ‘Miss Lisa’ (Lisa Fay) and I am sure she would be proud of how it now looks! The plants have a little ways to grow but it will look fantastic in
the coming months. Thanks also to the dads who helped put up the new cubby in the prep playground and to the children who helped paint it, it looks fantastic! We had a lot of fun also this term holding our Chicken Taco Cup day. We had over 100 students attend to make some delicious chicken taco cups and the proof was in the eating that it was another very successful recipe by our cooking club. A big thanks to all our helpers on the day, we would be lost without you! I can’t believe another term has come and gone but I am sure we will have more exciting activities installed for next term so stay tuned!
In Miss Lisa’s Garden: Former students of Miss Lisa, Victoria Lee, Aiden Bell-McNee and Morgan Lee with Phoebe Bell-McNee and Lisa’s teaching partner Becky Bell-McNee.

TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20)
Venus moves into Virgo in a week or two. This will bring you down out of the state of excitement you’ve been in. Excitement is more like stress than pleasure for a Taurus. A layer of tension is about to fall away. Life will then feel more like it should; simple, comfortable and delightful.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 21)

Mercury stays in Libra for the month. Life keeps bringing you back to the middle. It keeps insisting that you keep to balance. It keeps making you focus on what is beautiful. Extremes are chaotic. They aren’t attractive. To find equanimity, decisions are going to have to be made.

Slowly, slowly, your feeling world is beginning to thaw. Whatever it was that caused your emotions to stop flowing, is out of the way. As you come back to feeling more like the person you really know yourself to be, so jauntiness and joy begin to resurface. Process this patiently.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)
Venus moves out of Leo. The habit of endlessly consuming eases off. This comes as a huge relief. With numerous planets now in Libra, you can get back to an even keel. Keep an eye out for those people and activities that make you feel comfortable, relaxed and balanced. Find beauty.
33 34
Mars stays in Virgo for the whole month. On the surface this inhibits your flow. Deal with the superficial discomfort gracefully however and a deeper positive can be seen. Stop trying to place life into a template that is inaccurate and unreal. To do so will cut frustration off at the pass.

Though the Sun has moved into Libra, Venus, Mars and Jupiter are all in Virgo. Your sense of adventure, your capacity for delight and your desire to broaden your horizons, are all likely to be kicking in uninhibitedly. Use this energy to get yourself out of pickles and into the light. LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) The Sun and Mercury are both in Libra. The Sun will help you feel integrated, whole, aligned. Mercury will give you insight, providing you are willing to think for yourself. The more you get off the fence and take a position, the more insight you will get. Diplomacy is not in order.

News from St Luke’s By Di Ayscough
I am just listening to a song on the radio “Love is in the Air” and thinking how appropriate these words are at this time of the year. In lots of ways love starts at Spring time, don’t you just love seeing the the beauty of our gardens in bloom, the birds enjoying the flowers filled with nectar and seeing people shed their dark winter woollies for brighter, lighter clothing? All signs of happiness. I think these things are symbolic of what is to come. Longer hours of daylight, families enjoying God’s beauty and love. We have been very happy at St Luke’s as we have recently welcomed, through baptism, two new families. Brian & Jesseka along with their family and friends celebrated their son, Bryce’s baptism. While Melanie and Glen have celebrated the baptism of their boy, Charlie, who is a little brother for Abbey and Beau. We welcome these children and their parents. Another pleasure we have enjoyed is to find Mary a visitor from New Zealand, Mary is a serving member of the New Zealand Air force who is presently stationed at Canungra. Mary has willingly and cheerfully stepped in as our organist while Anne, our local organist is away on holidays. We feel truly blessed and thank Mary so much for her generosity. Yes, love is in the air in so many ways, I encourage us all to look around and enjoy what we are given so freely by our Lord. Remember to love your neighbour, your friends and your family. Until next time may you take a moment to feel the love that is in the air.

Suduko
Solution page 35
This is a ‘classical’ sudoku puzzle - a grid 9 squares wide and 9 squares deep. The lines of squares running horizontally are called rows, and the lines running vertically are called columns. The grid is further divided by the darker lines into nine 3 X 3 square ‘boxes’. Some of the squares already have numbers in them. Your task is to fill in the blank squares. There’s only one rule: Each row, column and box must end up containing all of the numbers from 1 to 9. This rule has an important side-effect, which is the basis of all solving techniques: Each number can only appear once in a row, column or box.

Sport Moriarty Park News By Bren Dalby The Green Army completed their current project by the creek bank and it is magnificent. I had the pleasure of attending the presentation recently and meeting the great bunch of local youth striving to develop their skills and move forward in life. It has provided a catalyst for us to push on with increasing the family friendly project - but some assistance will be required! Dean Meldrum and his family have already come forward which is terrific. There has been some new graffiti around the place of a particularly infantile style so please keep your eyes peeled and alert our local constabulary if you see anything untoward. We are lacking Sportsperson of the Month Award nominees so please let Bren know if you know of someone who has had outstanding results in their sport this year. Our Committee is a tad in disarray, not due to disinterest, simply life changes which have detracted from our ability to avail ourselves for Moriarty Park issues. We will try to carry on till the AGM in April but please come forward if you think you can help; this is a great facility that is under utilised, and we can’t afford to lose it. Actually at this stage we can barely afford to keep it with rising costs, so anyone who can help with grant writing and sourcing would be welcomed! Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at Moriarty Park at 7pm. If you are planning to attend please text me on 0414 435 919 or email bren.dalby@bigpond.com in case we have a date or time change.
Canungra Owls Soccer News
By Bren Dalby
Well the season is over but already plans are in place for next season! No rest for the wicked, or the rest of us either. Encouragingly Jeremy Mansfield has rallied the men to continue off season training which is great, especially as we have suffered the loss of fabulous Coach, player and inspiration, David Huynh, who moved away to expand the Foodworks empire. The absence of Dave will create a huge void. We are currently tying up all financial strings with a view to holding our AGM early December, or even late November. We already have nominations for Registrar and Treasurer so please think about where you might slip into the operation. I will be doing less next year and am happy for someone else to take on any of my positions! Time for someone with young kids coming through to replace me and take the club forward another level. My boy Scott, by the way, is living the dream playing soccer and studying in New York and having a ball. This year we had more helpers than ever which lessened the load and made soccer more enjoyable. In particular, thanks to our sponsors Foodworks Canungra, Danny Gordon Seafoods and Canungra Veterinary Surgery. Thanks also to Canungra Hotel allowing us to run meat tray raffles and to Rachel Hamblin for organising the roster; thanks of course to those who showed up to do them! We will strive to maintain a prospering club as long as we are able. Thanks to all, and “Go the Owls”!

Local Boys in World Muay Thai Cup By Rebecca Torrens
Australia did an outstanding job in the 2015 IFMA Royal World Muay Thai Cup held in Thailand between 13th and 22nd August. Thirty five Australian competitors competed against 106 countries from around the world. The Australian team brought home twenty four medals nine gold, seven silver and eight bronze. There may have been bomb blasts going off and the threat of others still yet to be found but nothing was going to stop local boys Zak Tilley and Cameron and Josh Torrens from getting in that ring and giving it all they could while representing their country. The boys went over early to prepare and put in some torturous hours of training in local Thai gym Por Promin. Josh Torrens had a beautiful third round knock out against a tough Malaysian fighter for his first fight, then a win over Estonia for his
Cameron and Josh Torrens with Zak Tilley in Thailand
second fight, but was not quite strong enough for a tough Thai fighter with huge hands. However he managed to secure a silver medal. Zak Tilley had a convincing win over Hong Kong in his first round, however the competitor from Russia was
just a little too strong for him and he didn’t get the win but secured a bronze medal to proudly bring home to Australia. Cameron Torrens as a silver medallist in last year’s Australian games had gone over to train and maybe take
on a local fight while he was there and support his fellow team mates. However once he learned of an opening in the Australian team at his age but two weight divisions above his own he was keen to step up and give it a go. Cameron drew a fighter from the Czech Republic and although he gave it all he could the weight difference was just too much and he was stopped by the doctor with an unstoppable nose bleed. All three boys did their families, country and their fellow fighters proud. Their dedication and hard training truly paid off. Next month all three boys as well as other local fighters will once again compete at The Australian titles again in the hope to walk away Australian champions. They would like to thank their sponsors - Aquis Farm Canungra and Bolo Fightwear. These sponsors are always amazing with the support they give these juniors in the sport they love.
