Be part of Bribie's biggest turtle sculpture!
Join local artist Geoff Ginn on Woorim Beach to create a giant turtle to raise awareness of nesting season and encourage everyone to do their best to protect our most precious visitors. When and where 04 Dec, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm Edwin Schrag Lookout, Boyd Street, Woorim QLD 4507, Australia About the event We need a big crowd of people to fill our local artist Geoff Ginn's creation of a giant turtle on the beach. There will be an outline drawn in the sand filled with people, and drone pilots taking lots of photos to celebrate the start of this year's nesting season. If all goes well, we may make this an annual event. To take part, make sure you arrive well before 1pm as we need to do this at low tide, which will be around 1:08pm. Please wear a turtle-coloured shirt/top (greens, browns, earthy tones) if you have one. Important: please register to get reminders nearer the time, and updates if anything changes. The BIEPA market stall will be there with T-shirts and turtlerelated goodies to buy. If you are a BIEPA member, please consider volunteering to come early to help set things up, and to stay to help clear up afterwards; contact Geoff Ginn on 0421 724 441 if you can help. We'll publish photos from the event in papers and social media to raise awareness of the vulnerability of the mother turtles, their nests in the dunes, and their little hatchlings as they quietly go about their annual summer breeding ritual along Woorim Beach from November through to April. We can all help to save these ancient mariners from extinction by protecting them during this critical time, and by supporting our dedicated Bribie Island Turtle Trackers who diligently monitor nest sites and hatchings at all hours and in all weather.

Do you know what GCBF stands for?
Dear Pumicestone,
If you haven’t already heard, the Queensland Government’s GCBF or Gambling Community Benefit Fund distributes around $60 million in grants to community groups each year, providing necessary and valuable funding for our not-for-profit community organisations.
Often it means they can improve or extend their services, grow and further benefit our local community.
We are so lucky to have so many wonderful community groups and organisations on and around Bribie. I am so proud of them all.
Over the past two years, over 40 of our organisations and groups here in Pumicestone have received GCBF grants.
A recent and very deserving recipient was our much loved Bribie Island Volunteer Marine Rescue.
Comprised entirely of volunteers, the VMR provides rescue, marine assistance and even flood operations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year out on our beautiful Pumicestone Passage and beyond.
The team at VMR received a $35,000 grant to purchase new motors for their rescue boats.
We asked VMR’s new Commodore Ces Luscombe what the Gambling Community Benefit Fund will mean for our community.
Ces said, “This grant will help us to put newer engines on the boats to provide a more reliable and cost-effective rescue service.” As well as giving organisations the chance to improve their facilities and services, the Gambling Community Benefit Fund tailors grants to clubs impacted by natural disasters. This Disaster Recovery round was one of the largest so far, with grants of up to $100,000 up for grabs. I recently had the pleasure of letting the Bribie Island Golf Club know that they will receive the $100,000 grant. I know local and visiting golfers have been frustrated by the aftermath of the February floods on the golf course, and this grant will help improve the drainage. It’s great to see GCBF grants being used to build resilience against future extreme weather events. The next GCBF round will open mid-January, 2023. I’ll remind everyone when the grant reopens on my social media accounts @AliKingMP on Facebook and Instagram.
You can find more information about grants at https://www.justice.qld.gov.au/initiatives/ community-grants. If you’ve got any questions please get in touch with my office on 3474 2100 or at pumicestone@ parliament.qld.gov.au
Warmly, Ali
Tips for
SELLING your Car ONLINE
Listing your car online can be a good option considering that it is easy and does not require much work. However, you should keep in mind that selling your car online also has disadvantages. So, you must know what to expect and what to look out for when listing a car online. Here are some tips to help you sell your car online:
CREATE AN ENGAGING DESCRIPTION
Creating an engaging description of your car is essential so potential buyers will be lured to inquire about it. Make sure you are honest in the description to attract buyers and not get into legal trouble. You should describe your car in the best way possible so the viewers will know its condition. Additionally, be sure to include a list of any upgrades or accessories and information on the type of fuel your car takes. If there’s anything wrong with the car, such as dents or scratches, be sure to mention it in your description so that you can attract potential buyers. This will help you avoid any issues or problems that you might have if you were to sell it in person.
TAKE GOOD PICTURES OF YOUR CAR
When listing your car for sale, you should prepare to take clear photos of it. Potential buyers will want to see the car, so take high-quality photos from multiple angles to get a good look at it. To make the buyer more interested in your car, you should load the photos with details about it, such as its mileage, model, and year. It is also essential to ensure that the car is clean before taking photos.
PRICE IT RIGHT
Another tip when selling your car online is to ensure the price is competitive. This will make it easier for people to buy your car from their mobile devices or computers. You should be aware that some buyers may find your car expensive because no one wants to lose money on their investment. However, you can attract more buyers if you price your car right, so they do not have to pay extra money to purchase it.
VET POTENTIAL BUYERS
It is essential to consider the level of trustworthiness of potential buyers. This will help you avoid buying scams and people who are trying to take advantage of you. You should vet potential buyers by asking for their contact details and getting a sense of if they are legitimate. If you meet the buyer, be sure to meet them in a public place to avoid people with bad intentions.
CONCLUSION
Online platforms are an excellent resource for people who want to sell their cars. However, you must follow these tips when listing your car to increase your chances of making a successful sale.
