Maleny District Sport & Recreation Club Community Newsletter “Saving the Dark in Maleny” The skies over the Maleny Observatory (North Maleny) are recognised as some of the darkest skies that are least affected by light pollution in coastal SE Qld. Positive action now can keep them that way! What if by simply replacing our town's streetlight ttings and bulbs, we could safely reduce light pollution, preserve the beautiful night skies, protect wildlife, improve our sleeping patterns - and it would actually be more cost effective? It seems like a no brainer! Well that is what a petition started here in Maleny aims to do. If by signing the petition we can enact this change, it could see Maleny as a test case and mean State-wide action in the future. Maleny and surrounding districts enjoy diverse wildlife, much of which is adversely affected by excessive arti cial lighting at night. A good example is the Northern Wetlands, established by UnityWater on the Maleny Precinct. Shaping up as one of the
Sunshine Coast's prime waterbird habitats, it has an extensive area of mixed aquatic vegetation, providing refuge to and attracting wildlife. Glare from arti cial lights impacts such wetland habitats, home to amphibians such as frogs and toads, whose nighttime croaking is part of the breeding ritual. Arti cial lights disrupt this nocturnal activity, interfering with reproduction and reducing populations. Scienti c evidence suggests that arti cial night lighting has negative and deadly effects on many creatures including amphibians, birds, mammals, insects and plants. The major contributor to light pollution is street lights, particularly those that shine light above the horizontal (unshielded) and have a high blue content in their light. It is hoped the petition can lead lights suppliers Energy Qld to start replacing the old-style mercury bulb streetlights with the approved new dark sky sensitive amber lights, with shielded ttings. Action is needed now so that the mercury bulbs are not replaced with even worse blue-rich LED bulbs. The money saved by moving to more energy ef cient lights completely offsets the changeover cost in just a few years. Here is the link to the petition and it’s easy and

“Saving the Dark in Maleny” Continued from Page 3 private - just click the link and follow the prompts: https://www.parliament.qld.gov.au/Work-of-the-Assembly/ Petitions/Petition-Details?id=3730 The Astronomical Society of Australia of cially declared the Brisbane Astronomical Society’s operations (conducted at the Maleny Golf Club) to be the Maleny Observatory, in July 2021. One comment by a happy visitor on their FB page https:// www.facebook.com/SunshineCoastAstronomyQLD said it all “‘I've been telling everyone how blown away I've been by the incredibe equipment available, similar or better than most observatories I’ve experienced. I just hope it doesn't get too busy that it becomes booked out! Congratulations on all the hard work and effort they all go to. The experience is nothing short of “astronomical!" This may just turn some of our Maleny kids into future astronomers. It's great for our town in so many ways. Now let's get on board with retaining our "dark sky" and rally behind the dark sky movement worldwide. Let's all get our outdoor lighting sorted and encourage retail and political parties to take this seriously.” Maleny Observatory’s Dr Ken Wishaw said "The Standards Association of Australia and New Zealand recognise the need for restrictions on outdoor lighting in the vicinity of designated observatories, so this will assist in keeping the Maleny Precinct dark”. But he needs our community support to go further. Already, Andrew Powell MP has taken up the cudgel, by sponsoring the petition, which has attracted 635 signatures already. Let's not be blinded by the light – and keep our starry skies. Please sign and share the petition!

Maleny Show is All Go
The welcome news is that the Maleny Show 2022 is to go ahead – and is just 6 weeks away, on the 27th and 28th May! The rst Maleny Show was held on April 24th, 1923.
Meanwhile, we thought you’d enjoy this picture of a very early Maleny Show and a few words about it from Desley Malone’s Maleny Historical Memories. This year’s show is a special Centenary Show, celebrating 100 years of Maleny Shows. So while the Maleny Show is always a great occasion, it’s extra special this year, with historical displays planned of memories of shows from a bygone era.
In this photo of an early Maleny Show, C1930, note Skerman and Mof tt’s sawmill on the hill on the left and the second butter factory, on the right. It looks like a patch of corn on the left. Photo Above: Maleny Show, c 1930
2022 Maleny Show Society 100 Years Lorna - A Champion of Champions There are champions. And then there’s Lorna of Arley. The story starts when Ernest Edward Downes Lawley married Minnie Almira Catherine Clark in 1917. They moved to the 84 acres of scrub land at Reesville which they called “Arley” (named after the village which the Lawley’s originally came from in Shropshire, England. They cleared the scrub, built their home, dairy and farm buildings, and planted pasture and turned it into prime dairy farm land. Their children were Evelyn, Alan and Val.
Written by Ed Lawley
Evelyn was born at home before Maleny had a hospital. In 1922, Ernie had high hopes for his favourite cow which he had bred (Lorna of Arley) so he decided to walk her all the way to Landsborough railway siding, loaded with a couple of weeks provisions for them both. They had two train changes to Brisbane RNA Exhibition grounds, and Lorna won the prestigious prize of Champion Butterfat Cow of Queensland 1922, with such incredible production gures - she produced 59kg of milk and 3.5kg of butter in 48 hours - considering the ordeal she had gone through to get there. Lorna went on to win the same accolade at the rst Maleny Show in 1923. The milking record stood unbroken for over 40 years. That was his rst “Lorna”

and her bloodline is still being shown at agricultural shows around Australia today. Amongst a collection of champion ribbons and trophy’s he gathered over a forty year period is a Champion's ribbon from the 1922 Brisbane Royal National, preserved and on display at Maleny Show 2022 along with other memorabilia. Ernie and Alex Bryce ,along with another unknown put in 10 pounds each to kickstart the Maleny Agricultural Show at a meeting in 1922. His son, Alan, and then grandson Edward followed in his footsteps to carry on the family dairying tradition with pride.
