THAT TIME OF YEAR

AGAIN The Pyramid was almost unrecognisable as a cascade of waterfalls spilled down the side of the mountain in the last week of January as the monsoon bought flooding rains to Gordonvale and surrounds.

The Mulgrave River at Peets Bridge reached a height of 6.3 metres, about 1.3 metres above the bridge at 10 am on the 23rd of January once again cutting off residents to their house for about 7 hours when the bridge opened just before 5 pm. Thanks to the road works on the Gillies Highway at the entrance to Peets Bridge just prior to Christmas there were no cars lost this year as has been the case in the last few years. In the 24 hrs to 9am on the 23 January, Gordonvale recorded 150mm and Goldsborough Valley at Peets Bridge 175mm. Goldsborough also received strong winds over the rainy period with winds up to 80km/hr recorded in the valley.

This is not the end of the wet with the Bureau of meteorology expecting more rains in the coming weeks. Of course with the rain brings a number of dangers. Police are urging motorists to drive with care especially along the Gillies Highway with an increase in the number of traffic accidents during this time of year. Every year a number of vehicles slip off the side of the range causing injuries and damage. It is important the motorists drive to conditions and slow down during this time of year. People are also warned about attempting to drive through floodwaters causing emergency services personnel putting their own lives at risk through rescuing stranded motorists. Another danger is playing in the flooded waters. The Mulgrave River and other recreational areas around the district are prone to rapid rises during heavy rain and swimming in these areas at this time of year can be very hazardous.

WOLTHER’S WONDERLAND By Wendy Maddocks

Seeking to: “get away from the unpleasant Cold War and give our sons a chance of a more peaceful life,” Lene and Lars Wolthers and their three sons, arrived in Australia in 1981 as non-sponsored immigrants which meant they had to have guaranteed employment before they left Denmark. Lars began work as an electrical engineer and Lene, although her Danish qualifications as a psychiatric nurse were accepted in Australia, still had to undertake additional training. In 2002, they retired to their two acre block of land beside the Little Mulgrave River. It was a life-changing decision prompted by their love of animals and the sense of freedom and peace they found in the countryside. They lived in a campervan whilst building the house they designed and, in 2004, were naturalized in Cairns. Their hard work and planning has created a wonderful world of animals, gardens and a high level of self supporting staples such as vegetables, eggs and fruit. Well water, solar power and a septic system all help to create a chemically-free environment. As an added bonus they have the joy and companionship of ducks, geese, chickens, two Boxer dogs and a mini horse called “Houdini”, as well as a spectacular range of native animals, birds and plants. It is a busy life but Lene finds time to spin, weave, make her own soap, create the most beautiful teddy bears and even teach these skills to others. Donations for this tuition can be made to the Little Mulgrave Rural Fire Brigade, which they have been active members of for more than ten years. Lene and Lars Wolthers have lived in Australia for thirty-two years and their contribution to the land of their choice cannot be calculated. As I wandered around their beautiful wonderland, I knew I would long remember the sense of peace and quiet and yes, sanctuary, that they have created.

AFL Auskick Coming to Gordonvale Over the coming weeks most of the various winter sports and footy codes will start kicking into action. Part of this will involve sign on days for parents to bring their kids along to sign up with their local teams. It is also a time for a variety of learning programs to commence, as clubs attempt to encourage new players to come along and give their game a try. Pyramid Power Junior AFL Club will be commencing their own 8 week Auskick program to be run by their president and coach, Brett Kennerley on Saturday 2nd March. This initiative allows for children as young as six to give the sport a go in a modified and safe environment. It also allows a great social experience, mixing with other children and families who have a similar interest. Auskick will be held at Power Park, on Maher Road, Gordonvale on these Saturday mornings between 10.00am and 11.00am. The cost for the program is $60.00, and this is an annual fee, meaning that if a child wants to participate in another Auskick program later in the calendar year they may do so without paying again (children currently involved with the Yarrabah Auskick program can join this Gordonvale program also, provided they have already paid in full). Also included in this price is a starter kit which includes a super footy bag, synthetic football, cap and other fun items. Also coming up are the AFL sign on days. Pyramid Power’s own sign on day is on Sunday 3rd February from 9.00am until 11.00am. This is a chance to sign up, meet the coaches and players and maybe have a kick on the oval. The AFL Cairns Juniors sign up day is at the same venue on Sunday 10th February at the same times. So come along and give the game of Australian Rules football a go, either through the Auskick program, or sign on with the clubs for the whole 2013 season.

RELAXATION

www.brainbashers.com © Kevin Stone 2013

With Bowen Therapy and Emmett Technique Robyn’s treatments are for relaxation as well as easing pain and discomfort. Many clients make appointments when they are getting stressed, generally feeling out of balance or just want to have a relaxing treatment.

See page 5 for solution

When our muscles are tense our whole body feels tight. This may result in restless sleeping patterns, headaches or just feeling unwell. When our minds are busy, tired or stressed our bodies react as well. A treatment restores balance to the body via the autonomic nervous system. When are bodies are relaxed, our nervous system has a chance to heal and a healthy balance is restored. It may take only one treatment to release tight muscles which results in a more relaxed boy and, in turn, will help calm the mind. Take some time out and treat yourself.

Robyn’s Real Estate Read... Welcome to this month's update on all things Real Estate. I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas and that 2013 is shaping up to be a good year for you. Well I know that I said that the Christmas New Year period is a busy one in real estate and I am happy to say that I have 12 happy sets of Buyers and Sellers since we last went to print! Many properties sold within a few days of being listed, some had multiple offers and a few sold at or above list price! With the rental stress of few properties available and weekly rents going up combined with investors, first home buyers and renters all now looking to buy and take advantage of the low interest rates, there has never been a better time to jump into the market. The market is firming and shows signs of slowing strengthening. For those of you hoping to sell to buy, especially when it comes to upsizing and downsizing, timing is crucial. I have quite a lot of experience in this type of sale so feel free to give me a call to discuss the different options. Robyn Hawley-Whitton - 0488 071 007 or E: robynhw@cpo.com.au
