YOUNG PARENTS AND PEOPLE MEETING TO DISCUSS YOUR VIEWS with Cr Margie Ryder After the last Community Meeting hosted by Clr. Margie Ryder down at the Landing, the Rollingstone Community Association received an unusual amount of feedback regarding the wants and needs of the younger parents/adults living locally. It was felt that most initiatives/ projects/improvements, etc., were made in favour of the old/older generation. This was most concerning and taken very seriously because this really is not the case, but obviously there is much to be done to help refute this feeling/perception. This being the case, we approached Clr. Ryder with the suggestion we convene a meeting at the Community Centre specifically for the purpose of hearing what the younger folks have to say, and that as our Divisional representative, she hosts that meeting. She has agreed and a meeting is scheduled for SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd at 1pm.
Thank you to the Rollingstone Community for supporting the Fund Raising Concert held on 31st August to assist our family following a fire at their home in Yabulu. Special thank you to : Rollingstone Lions; Maori Culture Group; Judyana and and Band and RaDCA
We are appealing to as many as possible of young parents and adults living locally to PLEASE attend to put forward your ideas, suggestions and requirements that you feel are needed in this area that will impact your age group and that of your children. This meeting is designed FOR YOU, so please don’t waste it.
A big thank you from the Centre and RaDCA to Ian Dow for placing an extension on to our generator exhaust following the addition of the new roof.
Your support was greatly appreciated. Carol and Doug Jennings
Chris has had her long hair cut off and donated it to Alopecia Areata Association . Well done and Thank You Chris!

I guess there are people in our community who are presently unwell or suffering some form of debilitation. However, we’ve had none reported to us so I’m sorry not to be able to recognise those not having a good time of it at the moment. BUT, we do send them our very best wishes to get better soon. •

I had the pleasure of presenting some trophies at the Fisherman’s Landing Fishing Club Kids’ Fishing Competition during October. How wonderful it was to see the kids outdoors AND enjoying themselves. I was so thrilled to be there and grateful to be asked to attend. Do you know Warren and Margie Butterworth’s grandson caught a fish and won a fishing rod and a tackle box – he is 3 YEARS OLD! And there were others there only 4 and a little older who also caught numerous fish and won prizes. Such a lovely morning………such great stuff. We haven’t had to do this for a while BUT the roadside chalk notice boards are a disgrace. The idea is that if you use them, you remove your sign once it’s reached its use-by state. This is not being done with the result the boards look gross and there’s no room left for others to use. If you have a sign still up on the board and it’s now irrelevant, please wash it down and leave room for others. It’s called respect. You’ve heard of the movie “We Bought A Zoo”, well, WE BOUGHT A BUS!! (We’ve already got the Zoo – and that’s meant to be a joke. Please don’t take offence.) It’s 4 years old with all the good points of the old one, except it’s so much younger and has 2 more seats. This has been a case of waiting until something good came along because we couldn’t afford a completely new one and there are no grants to cover that amount of money as best in that category is around $35,000 and a new bus would cost around $70,000. Well, our patience finally paid off: most timely and fortuitously. Some stuff is happening for us………..at last. Work should start on the Railway Display any time now, AND the Bush Tucker Gardens. Hope to have more ‘capital activities’ about which to advise in the last newsletter of this year. Presently, we’re also getting geared up for several important events: Brad’s “Open House”, the Lions’ Activities Day (incorporating “Cyclone Sunday” information per courtesy of the SES), Carols by Glowlight, Remembrance Day, hundreds of the dreaded Christmas parties, Closure of the Centre for our Christmas/Summer break, and probably lots of others I’ve forgotten about.

Rollingstone State School
Beach Clean-up Timetable The beach walk is a school program to help save our reefs. It is a fun and educational day where you learn about the reef and how to help protect it. The reef is one of the most valuable thing in the ocean. Kody Rollingstone has done a great job collecting rubbish along Balgal Beach for many years. However, 2012 was the first year we recorded any results. The pile of rubbish was over waist high and the weight was over 50kgs. We do the beach walks to save our ocean. -
In 2013 we had the Tangora Blue people help us count and sort out the rubbish for the first time. The rubbish weighed 45+ kg. During the rubbish pick up, the lady of Tangora Blue had a friend that wanted to help us. This shows us that are people are dedicated in helping the ocean life. Karina
September 2013
Unfortunately there was no decrease in rubbish in 2014. That means more rubbish had been dropped on the beach. The Rollingstone State School students got about 44kg that year.
Why do we do it?
Rollingstone State School has been taking part in a school beach walk for over 20 years now. The day has prevented many animals from dying. A plastic bait bag looks like a jelly fish which is a green turtle’s main food. Shelby
September 2014
A big reduction in rubbish picked up at Rolly Beach in 2019
Do you have any old memories of the first beach walks? Mr Bruce would love to hear from you so we can trace the history back to the beginning?

Office of Nick Dametto MP P: 07 4765 4700 | F: 07 4765 4709 | Member for Hinchinbrook Visit: 86-92 Herbert Street, Ingham QLD 4850 E: hinchinbrook@parliament.qld.gov.au
Government needs to get tough on crime In parliament last month, I gave a speech highlighting the lack of real consequences for criminals who continue to destroy people’s lives.
My mother lost 12 months of her life because of the stress that one incident put on her. The perpetrators of crimes do not deserve to be out roaming our streets. If we do not come down hard on crime, all we are creating is a gangsters’ paradise for the perpetrators. People go to bed at night concerned that when they wake up in the morning their vehicle may not be in the driveway or their house or business may have been broken into. For business owners, it’s the little things that add up. The juvenile delinquents who are breaking into these places are only stealing the float, a couple of drinks and those sorts of things, but it is the $600 door that has to be replaced every time this happens or the cash register that has been ripped out and stolen. According to the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Crime Report, there were more than 240,000 reported property offences in Queensland during 2017-18.
The State Labor Government has failed in their duty of care to make our communities feel safe and need to drastically rethink their approach to crime. There needs to be real consequences and deterrents or else this misery will just continue for honest, hardworking people.

Rollingstone & District Seniors Time is galloping along merrily, leaving me no time to do anything. A small group of Seniors recently hired a bus and took off to the Outback, well... we did go West and we had a great time. We started in Hughenden where we saw the dinosaur memorabilia, very interesting stuff if you are into dinosaurs and called in to Corfield for lunch and a quick snort at the lone pub. We went on to Winton, where the water leaves a lot to be desired but once you get the hang of it, it’s not a problem, just boil it first. We went to the outdoor Movie Theatre, sat in canvas chairs and ate popcorn and lollies. Encountered cattle droving along the highway, which was an unexpected sighting. Onward to Longreach where we spent three days, as we had so much to do. We were welcomed to the caravan park by a couple of brolgas who stayed around the whole visit. It could have been the fruit cake they liked! Beautiful birds. We attended the Stage Coach Show which was fantastic, great laughs had by all. Nice to sit quietly to settle the scones, jam and cream before we went off on the Stage Coach ride. That was unreal, I never thought I would get to ride in a Kinnon and Co. Longreach coach. Then we had the river cruise which took us lazing down river while we snacked on cheese, crackers, salami, pickled onions and relish. Back ashore we were entertained while we waited for the Stockman’s Tea to be ready and enjoyed a Bush Ranger movie. I would encourage anyone to spend the money and go along to a great entertaining evening. This family run entertainment is tops and really worth your while. The young sons had us in stitches all evening even while driving the coach taking us there and back. Brilliant. The Hall of Fame was next on our list and we spent a very interesting time going through. I don’t like it though, when you see things you recognise from childhood displayed in glass cases as relics and antiques. Bah humbug. As we left Longreach, we passed a different mob of cattle, the two will never meet. We saw the travelling set up the Drovers had. They are so self-sufficient. We called into Ruby Vale where there were several jewellers, uh oh bad move!! Barcaldine was in the mix also where we stayed in a lovely house. I rather liked that place. There were some places of interest there. On to Emerald which we did not see much of at all and from there back to Charters Towers where we managed to go look at a few shops before we headed home. We also stopped at a few interesting places along the way and found some very good bakeries. I think everyone who went had a great time, thanks Peter and Gwen. The Seniors went over to Magnetic Island last week for the day with some staying overnight. A shame that so many pulled out but those who went enjoyed themselves and were made to feel very welcome. Melbourne cup day is coming up, anyone interested?? Ciao.

Rollingstone and District Lions Club Inc. Hello all, well the biggest day on our calendar, The Pineapple Festival has been and gone. It was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended. The feedback we have received from many of the stallholders and members of the public has been fantastic. It makes all the hard work that’s involved worthwhile. The music and entertainment was terrific. Thank you all for making it a great day. Ten members of our club went to Mareeba for an annual district convention. This event was for 3 days and the people from the Tablelands spoilt us with their hospitality. You could see that this area is also being affected by the droughts. During the Pineapple Festival and the Country Music event at the Rollingstone Pub, we were able to collect just under $3,000 for drought relief. This will be distributed to those poor farmers in need. A few of the club members went to our Camp Kanga west of Proserpine to carry out some improvements on BBQ areas. For people who are interested Camp Kanga has a small caravan park and accommodation. Proserpine Dam is only one kilometre away from the camp. The Dam has great fishing with monster size barra and red claw. As always, any person who is interested in the work that Lions do can contact me on 0412396450. Dowie

Hello and welcome. Another quite busy month has passed in your Club with lots happening so we hope you participated and enjoyed yourselves. Saturday 28 September was the Annual Member for Hinchinbrook Inter-Club Fishing Challenge Presentation Night at The Landing and what a night we had. The trophy winners were; Senior Male, Mick Wellington from Toomulla and Senior Female was Debbie Wellington also from Toomulla. We can now see what this couple get up to in their spare time. The Junior Champion is Hunter Truscott from our Club. Congratulations to you all. The Champion Club for the year was bestowed on our Club again so well done those of you who participated. We also thank Mick Wellington and all Members of the Toomulla Beach Fishing Club for their participation and attendance at the function. Our Club Fishing Coordinator Dan Dale worked tirelessly to organize the event and he also drove the courtesy bus on the night. A huge thanks Dan. There are heaps of other Club Members who contributed to the success of the night, Robert Pratt, Col Pace, Mon Dale, Khwan Williams, Booie Haggerty, Di, and Kerrie Cochrane and the rest of the Committee all pitched in for which we are most grateful. Not forgetting, of course, Mr. Nick Dametto, MP, Member for Hinchinbrook who sponsors this annual event and who took time out from a very busy schedule to present the awards. How good was the Thai food Mon, Khwan and Booie prepared and served for our taste bud pleasure? Congratulations Ladies. No, Members, the prawns and oysters are not going to be an addition to the menu for our normal End of Month Club BBQs. We welcome new Members Geoff and Wendy Cooke, Dan, Jo and Anglic Kakela who hail from Toomulla and welcome back to this Gentleman after a very long absence from the Club, Gordon Payne and Sue Von Wald. On behalf of us all, welcome. From 25th to 27th October our half yearly Family Fun Weekend Away was conducted in Lucinda and 26 Club Members have registered to attend. A full report on the trip will appear next month. Don’t forget the Club Markets on Saturday 2 November at The Landing Park from 8.00 am to 1.00 pm.

Note there is no Club End of Month BBQ in December instead we are going to a New Year’s Eve Party at the Mystic Sands Golf Resort on 31 December. Members will be personally emailed full details of any costs etc at a later date as usual you will need to purchase your own drinks from the bar.

On the sick list we have Ron Condren (Condo) recovering from a recent operation, Richard Pickering has been seen out and about which is great news and Babz Armfield is out of hospital and on the mend but watch out, Babz now has a walking stick and reports are that she can use it to strike a swift blow; poor Richard. Russell Rowe is in Melbourne for a very long stint in hospital in something called a bubble which has something to do with having a bone marrow transplant. We all wish him well in his recovery. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you all. Saturday 12th October dawned just like any other typical day in Paradise, clear blue sky, the sea as smooth as glass, a cool breeze making conditions comfortable so what more could you ask for to make it that perfect day? Well, the kids Fishing Classic which started at 7.00 am of course. While the Mums and Dads sat in the shade shouting encouragement and expert advice to their offspring, the little ones had a great time showing off their fishing skills. After a free sausage sizzle lunch with drinks for all participants, including grand-parents, parents and friends, the children received other goodies before prizes were awarded to; Jade Cunningham for the biggest fish, May Dale (a Club Member) for the most fish, Talon Buckby, most species, Darren Cunningham, crazy hat competition and Tyrall Hutchinson (a Club Member) mystery prize. The prizes were presented to the young excited children by the event sponsors, Mr. Nick Dametto, MP, Member for Hinchinbrook, Sue Von Wald, President of Rollingstone and District Community Association (RADCA) and President Di. Mr. Dametto also stood in for Councillor Margie Ryder who was unable to attend at the last moment. We do thank the sponsors, Member for Hinchinbrook, Townsville City Council and RADCA for their generous support Finally, we have been advised by UNINET that the Stinger Net is scheduled to be installed for the season on Tuesday 29 October. President Di will shortly put out a call to all Members to seek volunteers to undergo a half day formal training course to maintain the net, P21 your participation is encouraged, Dickie cannot do the lot himself. Until next month, Ninger P21 P21

ROAD RULES
Warren Butterworth
In an article that was published in the Rollingstone Rag in August, 2018, I wrote about Section 83 of the Offence of “Driving without Due care and Attention” under Section 83 of the TORUM Act, (a copy of article is reproduced hereunder). “There is one offence under this Act which is not taught to Learner Drivers and yet is one of the main causes of Traffic Incidents on our roads, not only today, but in years past. It is contained in Section 83 of the Act and is more commonly known as “Driving without Due Care and Attention or Without Due Consideration for other Road Users”. I will address the offence of Driving without Due Care and Attention first, as it is imperative that you fully understand the responsibilities that this Section imposes on the driver of a vehicle on a “Road or Elsewhere”. I would be certain that the majority of drivers are not aware of this offence, even though it is only “Common Sense”, yet it is one of the most important requirements placed on a driver, as you MUST drive with Due Care and Attention at all times. If you do not obey this Section, there is a very good chance that you could be involved in a Traffic Incident. From the time that you sit in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, start to motor and start to move off, this “requirement” must be obeyed. REMEMBER NEITHER VEHICLES NOR ROADS CAUSE ACCIDENTS NOR THE DEATHS NOR INJURIES. IT’S ALWAYS THE NUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. You must at all times remember that once put into motion a motor vehicle, it becomes a “Lethal Weapon capable of killing”, (it is more dangerous than a firearm). A vehicle can kill at any speed. An excellent example is when a small child in run over by the family car in the family’s yard. In most of these could have been avoided, if the driver had been driving with Due Care and Attention, and these children would be alive today. If the driver had just taken more care to ensure that there was no child /ren in the area or if they were properly supervised, these things would never happen. As the old saying goes, don’t “assume” anything as that word stands for make an “Ass” of “U” and “ME”. Don’t rely on rear vision mirrors or reversing cameras, as they can’t see sideways and have blind spots. Remember, the faster the speed, the more dangerous the vehicle becomes. As the term reads, “Driving without Due Care and Attention” means that all times when you are driving you must pay attention to the road (or place) where you are driving. Be aware of the road conditions and drive to those conditions. Be aware of any possible livestock that maybe on the roads edge (horses, cattle, pigs, kangaroos, dogs, cats, etc) and be ready to take appropriate action when one enters onto the carriageway (road). Never swerve to miss them as you could cause more damage, injury or death. It’s better to damage the front of your vehicle than lose control and roll it. You should be travelling at a speed at which you can either stop you before colliding or reducing the amount of damage to your vehicle. Another important thing is to be aware of the environment in which you are driving. Your eyes should always be to the front, watch the road ahead, watching for oncoming traffic, intersections you have to negotiate and what traffic is on all the roads, and what those vehicle/s may try to do, so you can take appropriate action to avoid a collision. If it has been or is raining and the road is wet, you must realise that your braking distance will increase dramatically. Moisture on the surfaces mixed with oil etc., make the road surface very slippery and regardless of what tyre company ads claim that “their tyres dry the road” they are false, as the road remains wet and the tyres cannot deal with the oil residue on the road surface. That if the reason for this Section, “to prevent traffic Incidents”. (By the way this term was introduced by our legislators, as statistics indicate that very, very few incidents occur by accident, but are caused by drivers’ inattention. Some obvious things that can be classed as driving without “Due Care and Attention” are: not driving to the road and weather conditions, turning your head to the left to talk to your passenger/s, adjusting the rear vision mirrors, (should be done before the vehicle is put into motion), changing radio station, music etc., bending down to pick something up off the floor, drinking from a container where you tilt your head back to drink the liquid, putting makeup on and one that may shock many, breast feeding bub whilst you are driving has been detected. In other words, anything you do that stops you from paying full attention away from your driving”.
You will notice in the last paragraph, where I gave some things that a driver could be doing which would constitute “Driving without Due Care and Attention” and on the 5th line of the final paragraph above, I refer to “Drinking from a container where you tilt your head back to drink the liquid”. Some of you may not be aware of the publicity on Facebook, in the newspapers and on Television where a driver was recently issued with a $173.00 on the spot fine for Driving Without Due Care and Attention when he was drinking water out of a plastic bottle on a day when the temperature was 39 degrees. I could say that to avoid a similar fine, carry a straw, but if you have to put the straw in the bottle whilst you are driving, you would still be committing the offence whilst you are putting the straw in the bottle. THE SOLUTION. Pull over, have your drink and then proceed. It might make you lose a couple of minutes, but what’s the choice “arrive a couple of minutes late, or be responsible P23 for taking someone else’s life or your own”.

Living with Flying Foxes part one. If you live near Flying Foxes, you may be concerned about risks to your health and curious to know more about them. Flying Foxes are not a health risk to you unless scratched or bitten, so please do not handle them. As forest-makers, Flying Foxes do a lot of good deeds in our environment. But they are threatened and in decline and to conserve Flying Foxes we need to share our neighbourhoods and protect their habitat. INTRODUCING YOUR BATTY NEIGHBOURS.. They do make a lot of noise, they eat your fruit and you hear they’re dangerous, It’s no wonder they are not over popular. The Flying Foxes, the biggest of the Bats, are really not so bad when you get to know them. A local colony can be something to celebrate. Flying Foxes contribute greatly to the local environment and economy. When they fly out at sun down Flying Foxes are off to do their job as forest- makers. Incurable sweet-tooth’s,Flying Foxes eat fruit, nectar and blossom. In the process, they pollinate flowers and disperse seeds of important native trees. Winging their way around the land, up to a 100km in a night, Flying Foxes are responsible for the upkeep of many forest species. To be continued, part two next month when they return from their night out. See you in the great outdoors......Chris..

It’s believed Charlie Chaplin wrote the poem below at age 70 As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is Authenticity.
As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is Love of Oneself.
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call this Respect.
As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is Modesty.
As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call this Maturity.
As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it Fulfillment.
As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call this Self-Confidence. As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call this Simplicity.
As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart. We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing, new worlds are born. Today I know: This is Life!

Paluma in the Clouds - Colwyn Campbell
Having just returned from three weeks interstate, and not yet having had time to catch up on the local ‘goss’, I feel rather fraudulent contributing anything from Paluma this month. But my first duty is to report with sorrow, the passing in Maleny late in September of former Paluma resident, Andy Bishop. Many people in Balgal and Rollingstone will have known Andy and Ann Bishop who regularly attended social gatherings in the community. Andy and Ann Bishop were popular long-time residents having come to Paluma from Mt Isa in 1989 to take ownership of the renowned Ivy Cottage Tea Rooms. People came from far and wide to experience the warm hospitality of Ann and Andy, sample the Devonshire teas and see at close hand the many birds that flocked to the cottage gardens. One distinguished guest was David Attenborough. Bishops sold Ivy Cottage in 1998 and Andy took up the position of groundsman at Paluma Environmental School where he worked until retirement. During his time here, Andy built as their residence the unusually designed house at Number 13 Mount Spec Road. Always involved in community activities, Andy rode every year until 2017 in the Paluma Push cycle race. He and Ann were keen tap dancers and regularly attended aqua-aerobics. They moved from Paluma to Maleny in 2016. Our sympathy goes to Ann in her sad loss. Residents of the rural blocks outside Paluma have reported an invasion of currawongs on their properties – some have counted up to 80 of the birds. Although very dry, conditions here must be more acceptable than in their usual habitat west of Paluma. Another invasion has been that of feral pigs. Groups of four to six pigs have been seen on some properties where they have wreaked havoc, uprooting banana plants and devastating beds of valuable bulb plants and anthuriums. For the past three years a writers’ camp has been held at the Paluma Environmental School attended by primary school children selected from several schools around Townsville and environs. Students from Rollingstone school were among those who attended the first of these camps in 2016 with Leonie Norrington as mentor. At the fourth of these camps, during the week of 21 st to 25th October students honed their writing skills with author Kirsty Murray. Students have a great time exploring the rainforest, discussing issues then develop a story based on their experiences within this environment. Social activities for the month have included a very successful market day early in October; and a Dinner Under the Stars held at the High Ropes course. Coming events will be an International Night dinner at the community hall on 2nd November and a Tropical barbecue on 7th December. Photos from Facebook
