Jeremy Scott with Rotarian Roger Platt Heartfelt Thanks!

The Rotary Club of Bribie Island was honoured to have Jeremy Scott, adventurer and author of “The Long Road from a Broken Heart”, as guest speaker at their meeting on 22 September 2016.

Rotarian Roger Platt gave a creative and thought provoking introduction and explained that Jeremy has raised over $30,000 for the Australian, New Zealand and British Heart Foundations and was awarded the 2015 Australian Heart Foundation “Heart Hero” Award for his work in raising funds and awareness about heart disease.

Jeremy told attendees his personal story about having major life saving open heart surgery as a four year old child. Following this surgery he faced many challenges and on 5 October 2011 he commenced a challenge of his own design - he started an unaccompanied bicycle journey which took two and a half years to complete. During this time he cycled almost 52,000km around the world, riding from London to New

Zealand This allowed him to accumulate enough kilometres to circumnavigate the world.

At the end of this journey, Jeremy wrote his highly successful book and now dedicates his life to inspiring others.

Those who attended the presentation said it was very entertaining and inspirational. The images from around the world were quite stunning and captured the hardship and joy Jeremy experienced during his journey. He is a gifted storyteller and his natural speaking style had his audience spellbound, amused and saddened.

Jeremy said “my story will highlight what anyone can achieve with an adventurous spirit, a little self belief and the courage to take that first step into the unknown; no matter what their dream or goal”.

Jet Skis – Personal Watercraft or Powerful Weapons

WANT A NEW POOL FOR XMAS??

In the wonderful environment that we live in on this beautiful island, it is only natural that many locals and visitors spend much of their leisure time on the water, either in boats or riding jet skis.

As with many pastimes, this can be a great way to spend a leisurely day but, along with the majority of sensible and law abiding boat and jet ski operators come that small percentage of idiots that spoil it for the rest and The Bribie Islander has been made aware of how this situation seems to be escalating in Pumicestone Passage.

A reader has told us that every time her and her partner are at the beach or out in their boat, they witness jet ski riders behaving without any consideration for the safety of others or their own welfare. ‘’On one occasion, there was a couple fishing in an anchored boat and there were three riders constantly circling the boat at high speed. This was such a concern for the people in the boat that they raised the anchor and returned to the boat ramp’’, she said. ‘’We have also seen occasions where riders have been riding at high speed very close to the shore or coming nearly right up to the shore at full speed and turning at the last moment’’, she added.

The rules pertaining to the operation of

a jet ski state that: ‘A jet ski rider must maintain a distance of no less than sixty metres from an anchored boat, boat ramp or the shore if travelling at greater than six knots’. Therefore one has to ask the question, have these inconsiderate riders forgotten what they were taught when getting their licence or do they in fact even hold the necessary qualifications to operate a jet ski.

A local boat hire operator said that the only way to minimise this errant behaviour is to introduce greater restrictions as to where personal watercraft can be used and for tighter enforcement of the regulations.

Commodore Bob Skinner of Volunteer Marine Rescue Bribie Island told us that he would advise anyone who witnesses these type of incidents should take o photo of the craft, making sure that the registration number is visible, and to hand it over to the police.’’We do talk to them but they don’t seem to take any notice of us and quite often we get abused for our trouble’’, he added.

Whilst this is not a problem that exists in our area alone, the fact that it seems to be becoming more prevalent in our area is something that we, as a community at large, must be aware of and do whatever we can to lessen the effect on the peaceful enjoyment of our waterways.

The Dog – The Rat and the $1,200 Repair

By Neil Wilson

A timely warning to vehicle owners A reader of The Bribie Islander has told us about a repair to her car that was caused by a very unusual set of circumstances.

For two days she had been unable to prevent her little Jack Russell terrier Molly from running back and forward at the front of the car and barking as if there was something in or under the car. She said that the next day when she started the car, many of the warning lights for the engine management were illuminated.

When she was driving her car which has what is called intelligent drive, a system that controls the power input, it felt very sluggish so after taking it to her mechanic she was told that the sensor on top of the motor had failed.

Upon further investigation at the workshop, it was discovered that a rat had made a home in the engine bay of the car. “Rats settle in there for the warmth” the mechanic told her. “We’ve seen the rat in there but at this stage we just can’t get him out” he said.

Apparently the rat had been nibbling on the wiring harness and this was what was causing all the problems.

After a long, drawn-out process of trying to source a new wiring harness from Subaru in Japan, the mechanic finally was able to obtain a used section of wiring and fix the problem. This unfortunate incident ended up costing our reader over $1,200. ‘Not long after this, some people came to visit me for a few days’ the unfortunate Subaru owner

How do you prevent the same thing happening to you if you think that there are rats around? The experts advise that rats go into engine bays for the warmth and have been known to build substantial nests in there so the best preventative measure is to make sure that when you park your vehicle at home, you leave the bonnet up so that the engine cools down quickly and does not become a prospective home for the nearest rat. Our reader’s advice, always take notice of your dog.

Always leave the bonnet up

told us, ‘and one day little Molly started running around their car the same way she was doing with mine’ she said.

Apparently the little dog had smelled another rat and was trying her best to let everyone know. After using compressed air and then a stream of water they were able to chase the offending rat from under the bonnet and Molly finally got to hunt it down.

Water birds are not usually very colourful but Purple Swamphens are an exception with their black and purple feathers, red beaks, legs and eyes. As they walk they flick their tails exposing a large white triangular patch at their back end.

They are a large, handsome, bulky fowl belonging to the rail family and very common to Bribie Island. Their call is a loud screech which is often heard during their many altercations.

Aquatic plants, frogs and snails are part of their diet. Their long toes are often used to pull food from the water. They are able swimmers but are usually seen wandering around the edges of waterways in their hunt for food. Sometimes they will raid the nests of other ground nesting birds for eggs and occasionally will take a young bird if they get the chance.

They fly well for such a large bird and will take flight with their legs trailing behind when alarmed or when they wish to change their feeding spot.

Usually there are more males than females in the groups and several males may mate with the one female. Both sexes are similar in appearance but the males are a little larger at about 44-48 cm.

From July to December is their normal breeding season. Their nest is usually a platform of reeds and leaves in which three to five eggs are laid. Both male and female and sometimes other family members take turns in the incubation duties over a period of about a month and tend to the young after hatching. In a good season two broods are sometimes produced. The chicks are a bundle of grey fluff and tend not to wander far from adult

birds during the early days.

In New Zealand Swamphens are known as the Pukekos. In previous times they were revered by the Maoris because of the red colouring of their beaks, legs and eyes. Red was a noble colour and the Pukekos were kept as pets by the chiefs.

The main threat to Purple Swamphens is the loss of habitat but they have adapted well to life near suburban waterways and their conservation status is so far secure.

HOVEA ACUTIFOLIA

THE BRIBIE ISLANDER

bribie grows

One of the first wildflowers to bloom in the Spring wildflower season on Bribie Island is the Hovea acutifolia. About mid-August is the time when splashes of purple appear in shady forests and in sandy soils in the area. Vivid, purple, pea-like flowers attract birds and bees. The leaves are green on top and a mustardy colour underneath. The fruit is a hairy pod and when mature will break open. Plants grow from seeds or cuttings and the seeds will regenerate after fire. The shrub grows up to about four metres and has a life-span of 6-10 years. It is a very attractive plant to have in your garden and lasts well as a cut flower. Sometimes the flowers are white but the purple variety is more common.

Small plants can be bought from some nurseries. Hovea bushes have been planted in some of our garden and forest areas on Bribie Island which makes a lovely sprinkle of colour amongst the other wildflowers.

Hovea was named after Anton P Hove, a Polish botanist who had ties with Joseph Banks and Kew Gardens. Acutifolia means sharp leaves and its common names are Pointed Leaf Hovea or Purple Pea Bush.

There are about 20 species of Hovea in Australia but only one on Bribie Island.

attract them to your garden.

Now that we have prepared our gardens and selected and planted our favourite flora, it’s time to consider insects and their helpful role.

Ladybugs look great but did you know they like to eat aphids, mites and scale?

To help them take up residence, try including some plantings of Queen Anne’s lace, tansey, dandelion, fennel and dill.

Bees are the primary pollinator in nature.

You can attract them by including flowering plants, particularly those with petals coloured blue, purple and yellow.

Suitable shrubs are eucalypt, grevillea and banksia. For your herb garden, try sage, thyme, borage and lavender. Quick growing, bee-attracting flowers to keep in mind are salvias, marigolds, alyssum, forget-me-not and geranium. By adding these plants to your garden, the bees will be frequent visitors and your gardens will thrive.

Did you know that bees tend to forage within 3 km of their hive? A supply of local fresh water is also essential. Make sure you regularly change the water to reduce the chance of breeding mosquito larvae.

Praying mantis are a good addition to your pest-controls . They enjoy snacking on most other bugs and have a particular fondness for mosquitos and moths. They will help keep the number of bugs in your garden down to a manageable level.

Lacewings also prey on other bugs, particularly mites and aphids. Coriander, tansey, dandelion and angelica will help

Hoverflies eat aphids, and some of them are good for pollinating your flowers.

They look similar to native bees except they only have one pair of wings, not two.

Hoverflies are the second most important pollinator in nature. Try attracting them with caraway, fever few, lemon balm and statice.

There are also some varieties of nonstinging wasps that lay their eggs in caterpillars and hornworm. Wasps enjoy flower nectar so they will follow where the bees forage. There are some types of wasp that should be avoided so be sure to familiarise yourself first.

Nature also has some great plants that will help repel unwanted insects from your garden.

Lavender, sage, and oregano have a strong scent that annoys a variety of bugs and will encourage them to move on. Marigolds, rosemary and garlic are great choices too. Plus, rosemary and lavender sprigs can be cut and packed into wardrobe bags to deter silverfish and moths from munching on your garments.

By using a selection of these plants to attract the helpful bugs, you’ll end up with an easy care garden, all thanks to the helping hand of nature.

Pets With A Difference Blessing of the Surf

By Neil Wilson

Yes, most of us know how much joy owning a pet can bring and it is normally associated with a dog, cat, bird or even a mouse or a snake.

There are, however, a few other options available that are not normally considered when deciding on a furry or feathered companion. Who would think that a chicken or a pig could be regarded in the same light as the other more commonly known household pets found in animal lover’s homes today? Let’s examine the facts.

Pigs can be kept as an indoor or outdoor pet and obviously this will depend on factors such as the size of your house and yard as well as what style of interaction you wish to have with your chosen pet. Pigs are very intelligent, inquisitive and sociable animals. They require very little in the way of housing and can be toilet trained and taught tricks by using food treats the same as is done with a dog. Indoor pigs will need their own space, preferably their own room with a pile of blankets to nest in. They will also need an outdoor run so they can exercise and have an opportunity to forage for roots and fungi as is their natural instinct.

Outdoor pigs only need a simple shelter with some straw inside. Pigs do get sunburnt easily so they will definitely require shade and they do welcome an area where they can have a dirt bath. They can’t sweat and therefore overheat easily. By the way, make sure you have a sturdy fence.

Obviously there are certain regulations regarding a pet pig and you should firstly contact your local council to find out if they allow the keeping of pigs as a pet. Some do and some don’t. Also, you should familiarise yourself with the laws pertaining to the keeping of pigs, for example, it is illegal to feed anything containing meat to a pig.

Not for everyone perhaps, but then again, not everyone can say that they have a pet pig.

Another and possibly less uncommon choice of pets is a chicken. Whilst many people have been keeping flocks of chickens as a less costly source of eggs, keeping chickens as pets has started to become increasingly popular since the year 2,000. Breeds such as Silkies and the different varieties of Bantams seem to be the most preferred choice due to them being more docile, making them ideal pets for owners with small children.

– Woorim Beach

Chickens can be effectively tamed by hand feeding and constant handling but, unlike pigs, can not be toilet trained. Whilst there are some instances of chickens being kept as indoor pets, they are normally kept outdoors in a coop that is well set up with roosts and a nesting box for them to lay their eggs and a good supply of food and water.

A recent and very worthwhile development is that chickens can be specially trained to be of therapeutic benefit to those with anxiety, autism and to residents of nursing homes. The owners of these birds also need to be trained to handle the chicken when providing therapeutic visitation comfort.

As opposed to owning a pet pig, it would be feasible to own more than one pet chicken, ( who has room for more than one pet pig?) and space restrictions are less of a concern. As with a pig, you should check with council to make sure chickens are allowed, especially in urban areas and also check the rules about distance from neighbouring properties as this can avoid that unwanted complaint and the possibility of having to give away a pet and breaking your children’s hearts.

If you have an unusual pet and think our readers would like to hear about it, contact The Bribie Islander and tell us all about your Pet With A Difference.

Halloween – Where Did It Start

41 Benabrow Ave, Bribie Island

Ph 3408 6246 I was having a conversation with some people recently and the subject of Halloween came up and one of them said, ‘I don’t worry about all that stuff, it’s just something from America’. Whilst this is a common belief among many, it is actually far from the truth.

Halloween has been traced back to the ancient Celtic festival of the dead called Samhain, (pronounced Sah-ween), and it was on the last day of the Celtic calendar.

It was their most significant holiday and the belief was that on this day, more so than any other time of the year, the ghosts of the dead were able to mingle with the living because at Samhain, the souls of those who had died during the year travelled into the other world.

Samhain, with it’s emphasis on the supernatural, was decidedly pagan and, in an effort to eliminate these practices, early Christian missionaries aligned their holy days with those observed by the Celts. The effect of this policy diminished but did not totally eradicate the beliefs in the traditional gods and Celtic belief in supernatural creatures persisted and the church made deliberate attempts to define them as not merely dangerous but malicious. Followers of the old religion went into hiding and were branded as witches.

The Christian feast of All Saints was assigned to November 1st but the old beliefs associated with Samhain never totally died out. All Saints Day, or All Hallows continued the ancient Celtic traditions. The evening prior to the day was the time of the most intense activity, both human and supernatural. People continued to celebrate All Hallows Eve as a time of the wandering dead but the supernatural beings were now thought to be evil. People continued to placate

those spirits by setting out food and drink and All Hallows Eve became Hallow Evening, which became Hallowe’en – an ancient Celtic, pre-Christian New Years Day in contemporary dress.

Many supernatural creatures became associated with All Hallows and in Ireland, fairies were numbered among the legendary creatures who roamed on Halloween. In England, Halloween became a time of magic with a host of magic beliefs. One of these was that if a person holds a mirror on Halloween and walks backwards down the stairs to the basement, the face that appears in the mirror will be their next lover.

Just about all present Halloween traditions can be traced back to the ancient day of the dead. Halloween is a day of many mysterious customs and each one has a story behind it. The wearing of costumes, for instance, and going from door to door demanding treats can be traced back to the Celtic period and the first few centuries of the Christian era, where it was thought that the souls of the dead were out and about, along with fairies, witches and demons.

Offerings of food were left out to placate them As the centuries wore on people started dressing like these dreadful creatures and performing antics in exchange for food and drink. This practice is called mumming and it was from this that what is known as trick or treating evolved. To this day, witches, ghosts and skeleton figures of the dead are among the favourite disguises worn by people at Halloween.

So, there you have it, Halloween is definitely not something from America.

Spring Cleaning with Dogs

Dogs shed hair because they are losing their winter coat. Keeping up with daily grooming is essential even for short hair dogs. Now is a good time to have long hair dogs and dogs that don’t shed, clipped for easy management.

There is now some great equipment to help with cleaning such as a broom with a rubber head. These brooms are designed to grab hair of the floor and can even be used on rugs and carpets. On the market

Care

Pet

by Yvonne Bishop

Spring is in the air which means it’s a good time to spring clean the house. Not our favourite activity!

Most of us would love to maintain a sparkling clean house but find it difficult whilst living with a dog. Dogs especially at this time of year shed hair. Fleas and other parasites are also more active and don’t we love those muddy paws!

OCTOBER 2016 - ISSUE 27

THE “WILD DOG” GENE

there are many vacuum cleaners designed to pick up dogs hair.

Best mops to use are one with a microfibre head as it also attracts hair and dust to it. Afterwards the cloth can be washed and reused.

Add white vinegar to the water will help rid of any urine smells necessary if you have a puppy or a senior dog. Adding a scent such as tea tree oil or lavender oil in the bucket will help to rid doggy smells.

Neophobia is helpful for survival to wild dogs, as they are nearly impossible to trap, catch or bait.

They give anything different a wide berth, especially dog traps, vehicles and even people. We might describe them as highly skittish. Some of our domestic dogs share this trait and it is doubly important to expose such pets to a wide range of experiences at an early age (before 16 weeks of age).

This will help a neophobic dog, but nothing can entirely undo neophobia.

In spite of best efforts that personality trait persists.

You can teach your dog to wipe his paws on a mat or to wait at the door to have his paws wiped, so he doesn’t bring in mud and dirt in the house. There are now rubber door mats designed to trap dirt before entering.

A less common but intriguing set of behaviours in domestic dogs is known as “neophobia”, or extreme fear of anything new. Our homes have an endless supply of new things. In fact, most humans seek new things for pleasure. Dogs with the neophobic trait are constantly fearful to the point of extreme paranoia of anything even slightly odd, different, and especially unknown or confining.

Happy training and cleaning!

Some working breeds are neophobic (especially Kelpies), as some strains are thought to include dingo ancestry.

It can become a source of mild amusement to see your neophobic pet stalking a strange suitcase, or avoiding an area where something fell off the shelf near them weeks ago. In their world, many things try to “get” them!

Neophobic dogs can fit into home life with patience and early conditioning, and it is not a reflection of inadequate training or care. There are all sorts of dogs out there, just as there are people.

THE DECK - Cafe, Bar & Restaurant

F

rom the moment that we walked through the door of the Pacific Harbour Golf and Country Club, the relaxed atmosphere and well appointed casual surroundings made us feel completely at ease.

We were there for a meal at The Deck and as we moved through to the restaurant to our table, we were welcomed by the friendly staff who made sure that we knew our every dining need would be met. The Deck, Cafe Bar and Restaurant is made up of an indoor and outdoor dining area and both are spaciously set out so that there is no squeezing around other patrons to reach your table of choice.

We chose to eat indoors and, within a minute or so after being seated, a highly efficient waitress was by our side to present the menu and answer any questions we had about the dishes available. Her knowledge about the choices on the menu showed us that we were being looked after by someone who was completely dedicated to her position.

There were two menus to select from, the Bar menu, which offered a variety of tasty light meals and the main Lunch menu. As hard as it is when confronted with so many good things to choose from, we finally ordered a variety of this mouth watering fare.

After an appropriate amount of time to enjoy the drinks that we ordered, we were served the items from the Bar menu which were the spicy buffalo wings, (who ever heard of a flying buffalo) and these came with a generous serving of Vietnamese chilli dipping sauce. The taste was exactly what was expected and was the ideal start to an exquisite dining experience. There is nothing

Also from the Bar menu was the mushroom sliders with tomato and salad and these tasty food delights provided the ideal lead in to our main course.

the appropriate amount of chips and a beautiful salad. The fish had a perfect texture and the batter was crisp and complimented the meal. The chips were an absolute delight and the salad was a taste sensation.

MUSIC REVIEW!

By Nikita Chee

THE BRIBIE ISLANDER

By Neil Wilson

Whilst one could say that Bribie Island has not experienced the amount of bad storms known to occur in some areas, we have had some nasty weather events over the years. This writer can remember Christmas Eve in 1989 when a mini cyclone created havoc across the island. Another one that comes to mind was a major weather event in the early nineties which brought driving rains and destructive winds which tore down many trees along the foreshore.

Probably the worst most recent destructive storm to bring us grief was in April 2014 which saw winds in excess of 100 kilometres an hour tear down trees and power lines and even a very large water spout was spotted just off the shore. So, although this time of year is when we expect more prevalent storms, they can happen at any time.

“Na na na na na, na na na na”. No I’m not teasing you. Not yet anyway. Those “Na’s” are the first of many soulful utterances to be delivered from the depths of Jessica Mauboy’s, “Risk it”. Jess’ latest single, soon to be featured on Australia’s new TV series, “The Secret Daughter”, is a provoking tune that speaks about the gamble the heart must make in order to find love. The acoustic groove-vibes, similar Jessie J’s, “Price Tag”, provide a playful platform for Mauboy to showcase her signature brassy-bronzed voice.

Such ornamentation combined with real and relevant lyrics appeal to the listener’s sense of excitement, anticipation, doubt, insecurity but most of all faith that is experienced when it comes to untouched, un-vocalised love. “Risk it” will get you singing and bopping along in no time, and perhaps, inspire you to “Risk it all”, and show someone how you really feel.

Be Aware Of Storms Once again, October is here and with that comes what is regarded as the storm season.

“Risk It”, from Jessica’s new album, “This Ain’t Love”

Recent statistics reveal that, although most of us know of the dangers associated with bad weather events, just under fifty percent of Queenslanders do not make adequate preparations to give themselves the best chance of safely riding out the storm and minimising damage to property.

One of the areas that many of us could pay more attention to is regular maintenance around our homes. Trees in the yard should always be kept cut back and away from the house, any loose roof tiles or iron should be re-secured and leaks fixed as soon as they are noticed.

Gutters should also be kept clear and firmly in place.

When you become aware of an approaching storm, you should tie down or store any outdoor furniture, remove any unsecured items from the yard and move boats and vehicles under cover.

If extremely high winds are forecast, windows should be taped in an x pattern using strong packing tape. You need to choose a safe location to remain in during the storm, bring pets inside with you and unplug electrical appliances.

A very important part of being prepared for a bad storm is to have an emergency or evacuation kit prepared and close to hand and items to have in this kit are:- First aid kit, Spare batteries, Torch, Battery powered radio, Non-perishable food items to last about three days, Bottled water, Pet food and water and a basic tool kit. Also needed for your kit will be:- Essential medications, Mobile phone and charger, Toiletries, Disinfectant, Warn clothes and bedding and don’t forget to include important documents and valuables.

Important phone numbers should be to hand and you should prepare an emergency evacuation plan. Listening to the local radio station for updates before and during the storm is recommended. If you incur damage during the storm, you should take photos before any attempt is made to start cleaning up as this will be of invaluable assistance with insurance claims.

Phone numbers to have on hand are :Energex: 136262, SES: 132500, Police, Fire and Ambulance: 000, Council: 3205 0555.

So be prepared this storm season and stay safe.

Road antics in Moreton

Deprivation of liberty and robbery charges, Caboolture

By QPS Media

Detectives from Moreton Bay investigating an incident in which a man was allegedly assaulted, robbed and forced into the boot of a car at Caboolture have charged a man with several offences including deprivation of liberty.

It will be alleged that around 5am three men who had been at a Miles Street address got into an argument, with two of the men then stealing the other man’s credit cards.

The men then left the residence only to return a short time later where they then allegedly assaulted the man, bound him and forced him into the rear boot of a car, where he was repeatedly kicked and punched.

The daily grind of a Road Policing Officer is often mundane and thankless, however every now and then, something comes along to brighten the day.

This motorist has come up with an ingenious way to solve his mudflap problems. Who would have thought that three pairs of pluggers could be put to such good use. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.

On a serious note, motorists should ensure that any modifications made to vehicle comply with regulations.

For information in relation to vehicle modification, please visit http://www.tmr. qld.gov.au/Safety/Vehicle-standards-

and-modifications.aspx.

Anyone with information which could assist with this matter should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au 24hrs a day.

Crime Stoppers is a registered charity and community volunteer organisation working in partnership with the Queensland Police Service.

For all non-urgent police reporting or general police inquiries contact Policelink on 131 444 or Policelink.qld. gov.au 24hrs a day.

It will be alleged the two men then drove the vehicle around before releasing the man by the side of the road near Woodford at around 6.30am. The man lost consciousness and woke up around 8am on a service road running adjacent to the D’Aguilar Highway.

The man, a 33-year-old man from East Brisbane, was located by a passing motorist and taken to Woodford for

medical assistance before he was transported to Caboolture Hospital for treatment to non-life threatening injuries.

Detectives arrested a 27-year-old Caboolture man at an address in Caboolture yesterday afternoon. He has been denied police bail and is due to appear in the Caboolture Magistrates Court this morning (Monday, September 19) where he also faces charges of robbery in company and assault occasioning bodily harm.

Police investigations are continuing.

By Philip Arlidge

THE BRIBIE WINELANDER Are you a climate change sceptic that believes the current extremes in weather come along every hundred years or so and we should just put up with it and carry on as usual? Unfortunately if you are a lover of fine wine these unpredictable weather movements can have a devastating effect on your favourite tipple. The 2016 vintage for example threw up many challenges around the country as in South Australia and Tasmania where a sustained drought has not made life easy for winemakers as the vines stressed out and bushfires seem to be occurring more frequently around all parts of the country. I remember a few years ago opening a bottle of wine from Pemberton where the grapes had been exposed to a fire and there was certainly a slight aroma of the smoke in the wine which to be honest actually added something to the wine which wasn’t too unpleasant but any stronger and the wine would never have been bottled.

Some regions have had to resort to bringing water in by tankers as dry dams or dams whose water is too saline for their bush vines due to a lack of rain.

Other regions have received rainfalls never experienced in living memory or since records began and The Hunter Valley is one such region. After having a dry period in June July August and September last year The Valley was subjected to three major hailstorms in November followed by 330ml of rain in

January beating the previous record for the month by 150ml, but at times like this winemakers tend to pull together and traditional Hunter Valley celebrations such as a cricket match using a bung from a barrel went ahead as normal.

Whilst some fruit was lost eventually the sun shone and the vintage was saved at the bell and a good vintage of reds and whites was achieved so on this occasion your favourite Hunter Valley Semillon and Shiraz have made the grade but does Mother Nature have more in store for us, only time will tell. Wines to look for on the shelves include Brokenwood, Tyrells, Tullochs and McWilliams.

Our favourite red wine grape is Shiraz but where does this Australian Grape variety that put us on the world stage originate from? Shiraz has been linked to various European Countries including Albania, Sicily, The Greek Islands and Persia (Iran) where there is a city with the name Shiraz. Using modern detective tools such as DNA the true origin had now been established. It is a cross of the grape varieties Mondeuse Blanche (The mother) and Durez (The father) that hails from The French Rhone-Alpes region.

The outstanding wine writer from Britain, Jancis Robinson, in her excellent book Wine Grapes gives three possible family trees, but all have these two varieties as the grape parentage. When these cuttings were brought to Australia by James Busby in the 1800’s he would have had no idea as to how important

these cuttings would eventually become in our industry. Although Shiraz can make good quality wines from every wine producing area around Australia there are several regions that are a cut above the rest. For a special occasion look for wines from McLaren Vale, The Barossa Valley and The Hunter Valley although there have been some outstanding Margaret River wines of late.

One of my favourite wineries from McLaren Vale that produce outstanding Shiraz is Shingleback and they have a number of options which range from the reasonably priced Red Knot (exclusive to Woolworths/BWS) to The “D” Block which retails at around $55 if you can find it. Other wines in their range include The Gate, Davey Estate, Davey Bros. Estate, Haycutter, Vinvale and Mclaren Vale South Coast. Most of these wines retail at around $12 to $20.

With Summer just around the corner it might be the right time to try a wine perfectly suited to our warmer climate but derided by many as a non-wine and that is a Rose. I remember some years ago talking to the State Manager of one of the Australia’s major liquor retailers and he thought a Rose was made by blending white and red wine! In those days there was basically only a choice of Mateus Rose from Portugal, which was the leading brand world wide, except here in Australia where we had our own brand leader in The Kaiser Stuhl Gold Medal Rose, in those days the wines

tended to suit wine drinkers that enjoyed a sweeter type of wine which was just about everyone.

In actual fact Rose wines come from red wine grapes that when they are crushed are left on their skins for only a short period which gives them their blush colour and nowadays they represent some serious wine drinking. Next time you peer in the fridge in the liquor store for a white wine why not cast a look towards the chilled rose section and look for The Nine Vines McLaren Vale Grenache/Shiraz from Angoves, A Charles Melton Barossa Valley “Rose of Virginia, Mr Mick, Turkey Flat or Bird in The Hand, your palate may thank you.

Be careful after having one or two too many, nearly two thousand years ago Plutarch noted: What is in a man’s heart when he is sober is on his tongue when he is drunk! ….and so did Ovid With the wine before you, you will tell many things!

four wheel driving in south east qld

By Aleisha Gill

JeepFreakz hit Swan Gully Swan Gully is a 4wd Park in Bromelton 15 mins from Beaudesert (formerly City View 4wd Park) and JeepFreakzOz QLD ran a camping weekend there in August.

Swan Gully has the option for day visits only as well as camping. Their tracks range from easy through to extreme so it is a popular destination for us to run day trips as well as camping trips.

A group of jeeps from the northside of Brisbane met in Beaudesert on Friday afternoon to make the most of our trip to the area. We all headed to the local shops to buy our supplies for the weekend then headed off for the short drive to the park to arrive at 4.30pm to set up camp. As most of us are seasoned campers it did not take us long to set up camp. The next task was to collect some firewood to go with the wood we purchased from the park to get the campfire roaring as it was already getting chilly!

We spent a few good hours around the campfire, roasting some marshmallows, telling a few tall stories, dreaming about the modifications we had planned (especially as we had fabrication mastermind amongst us who had travelled from as far as Gympie for the trip). No late night was to be had for most though as we knew we had a big day of driving ahead of us the next day.

The next morning the rest of the crew

Back it up or Lose it!

arrived after meeting in at Beaudesert as some were coming for a day trip only. We then headed off to tackle our first track of the day – the track chosen was to suit all cars on the trip. This is the beauty of this park – you can head off for a drive with a difference in capability amongst you and still find a challenge for everyone simply by putting different cars through different lines.

The first challenge of the day was a nice little step for those with a nice set of modifications under their belt.

Those more standard vehicles were able to take a line around this step up, although even this easier line provided a nice challenge with a few rigs needing a winch to get through. But with the expert guidance of our president all cars got through safely and felt as if they had conquered a nice challenge. We even helped another patron of the park when he was having car troubles.

After this obstacle we headed of a more of a leisurely drive up around the dam and as it was nearing lunch headed back to camp down a different way.

Some members took this opportunity to head off to other commitments. There rest of us gathered our energy to attack the afternoons challenge ahead of us – a creek crawl!

In the afternoon we set off to the play area to where you enter a nice

empty creek bed which gives you the challenge of negotiating numerous rocks and boulders. A track like this is very technical as you really have to pick you lines carefully and you sometimes really have to rely on your spotters to get you through – lucky for me the club has plenty of great spotters to choose from!

We managed to get all rigs through the creek bed safely to the point that you start to climb upwards heading to the waterfall and as it was getting dark decided it was time to collect more firewood and head back to camp. This was not without a few amongst us deciding they were determined to come back tomorrow to tackle the climb up to the waterfall.

Once back at camp it did not take us long to get the campfire roaring again, the laughs a happening and chatter about what was ahead of us tomorrow.

It was a beautiful night under the stars with just the sound of great friends and the campfire.

The next morning a couple of rigs headed off to the waterfall track with determination and cameras to make sure none of the action was missed.

They gave it a good shot but as they needed to head off at lunch ran out of time and had to head back to camp before making it all the way – this was

not without setting a date to return to finish off what they started.

Myself did not head to the waterfall – instead we headed off with our daughter and son who are learning to 4wdrive and this was the perfect opportunity to take them off on an easier track to get some experience under their belt.

We then heading back to pack up camp but as we were all heading off it was noticed that one of the vehicles had fuel leak at the fuel regulator. After a quick phone call a replacement part was sorted and another member came to the rescue with a drive to collect the part and help fix the vehicle. This is the beauty of being in a club – no one is left behind and there is always plenty of people to help.

Swan Gully is a must do park for those who are love getting out there – they also have glamping on the way if you prefer more of the creature comforts.

ask eddie computing

We can replace your computer, but not your precious memories.

After more than 20 years in the IT business, the single most difficult part of our job hasn’t changed - Informing a customer that their hard drive has died and the data is irretrievable. Consider for a moment how this would affect you. Replacement of the drive is not difficult, and only a moderate expense. But, unless you have saved copies of your files to an external backup drive or cloud account you may be in for some heartbreaking news.

The message is simple “save copies of your files or you will eventually lose them!” All computers and their hard drives will cease to function – it’s only a matter of when.

Local backup methods include using an external hard drive or a simple USB stick.

Your choice will depend largely on the amount of data that you wish to store. A simple 8Gb USB stick costs less than $10, while a 1000Gb (1Tb) external hard drive will cost you under $100.

Remote or ‘cloud’ backups are saved to a remote computer server via your internet connection. These service providers include recognized IT companies like Microsoft’ One Drive, Google Drive and Apples iCloud, as well as specialized commercial products such as Backblaze and Carbonite. Pricing, for example Dropbox, starts at $10/per month for up to 1000Gb of data. Some providers offer small data storage, ie under 5Gb for free, but be aware that there may be a charge for

you to access your data.

Local Backup: Purchase an external USB drive and copy your pictures, documents and other folders to it. If you want to save copies of your email and other program data, this is usually done via an export function within the program. External hard drives usually come with automated backup software. Pros = No ongoing costs; no internet needed to access your backup data; your data remains in your possession; quick to complete a backup. Cons = If stored in the same location as your computer, a serious event such as fire could destroy your computer and your backups; upfront cost to purchase a backup drive.

Cloud Backups: Many companies now offer remote or cloud backup services. Put simply, you are renting an amount of drive

space on a computer system at a remote location. Costs vary so shop around.

Pros = You can access your files from any internet-ready computer, smartphone or tablet globally; stored at a different location to your PC. Cons = Ongoing expense; any remote server, no matter how secure, is vulnerable to attack; time required to complete a backup is dependent on your internet speed and uses your data allowance.

If you need any assistance with your data protection don’t hesitate to call in.

Sharmayne Kurtz

Out of all the people I’d like to be, There is no one I’d sooner be than me.

I could be the best footballer in Australia, but I’d sooner be me, a tiresome failure.

I could write books and be a success, but I’d sooner be me a tiresome mess.

I could be Priminister and rule all the land if things just went the way I planned, but to tell people what to do is not my lurk, ‘cause to me it sounds too much like work.

While I gather last tears into the pool of memory Let my heart bleed just once more While I tell pain to disappear forever Let my heart bleed just once more While I deal with a little fear of the unknown Then I set you free – rejoice!

NOW I demand your fastest beat And don’t ever trick me again – I will be watching you.

The first day of summer and the water is high People of Woorim are gathered nearby The Pastor steps forward to deliver her prayer It is about the sea and it’s journey from here to there She highlights on the gift we have received from above The cleansing action that caresses and loves It nurtures our plant life sea creatures as well She allows us to swim play and be under her spell We use it as a backdrop for ceremonies and events Or just the art of sitting and inhaling her heaven scent The wind and sun all play their part But the jewel in the crown is the sea by far

It is rugged and strong relentless and rough Large strong boulders on the bluff Quiet streams that trickle down The rough exterior to create a crown

As a beauty I’m not a great star.

Their are others more handsome by far.

But my face I don’t mind,because I’m behind it, Tis the folk in the front that I jar.

Make us dress and relax and feel serene There is fish and chips or a glass of wine Cappuccino on Island time

THE WOORIM PARK

Love it don’t leave it the rubbish is hell We owe it to our children to be under her spell Care and love that is all she asks The bell is ringing it is getting dark

Soft green moss and ferns as well That move and sway to the waters spell The fresh cool breeze that caresses your face After a high mountain climb of this distant place Large blue gum trees that grow out of the rock Create a bonsai or a frock Images dart here and there You just have to wait for them to stare

Sharmayne Kurtz There is a park by the sea at Woorim Beach With tall gum trees and lots of swings The black treacle stream that meanders in

Red ochre rock as old as time Indigenous paintings from the dreamtime Figures and faces hand prints as well Tell the story of the life on this shelf

Creates white bubbles like transparent cream There are bat wing lights and sculpture forms Paperbark trees and heaps of worms

The spell is broken by the black cockatoo Screeching as it glides over the forest view Lizards dart here and there The summer sun shinning over their rocky lair

Rubbish bins for the visitor’s days Where families eat and children play Late in the day you see them rest

A dead snake lay on the rocky path Earthworms finish him off nothing lasts The sun kissed yellow of the wattle blooms Winter is coming you can feel the cool

On a towel on the grass and a heavy chest Of life’s simple pleasures of sitting back BBQ burning and life’s flat chat

The winding path is rocky and steep It takes your breath and you just have to peep The massive rocks above your head Open large caves that are dark and dead Outside the palm trees grow to the sky The Earths Cathedral is very high

This little park creates a beat Of leisure and laughter and children meet Swings and water while playing catch Remembering days it takes me back The breeze that caresses the skin on your face The salt sea air that dilates your space

Vines hang powerfully over the relentless climb Just when you think you cannot go on You feel the coolness of this shrine

The environment touches your very soul And your thankful for this pot of gold The black cockatoo that sits on the branch

The sound of the finches dart to and fro There is a clear river stream just below You peer through the branches of the big red gum

While the little quails sing and dance White timber tables and chairs to match The Surf Club there for people to catch That very special menu or special wine As they glimpse at the ocean on Island time

Down in the valley the river runs The sound of the water makes you kick back You stop for a while and look at the track Lost in this space of nature itself Makes you feel small and there is nothing to dwell You feel touched by the smell of the leaves and the damp The forest floor has you in a mystical trance The sweet smell of honey from the paper bark trees The blossoms and flowers that float in the breeze The magic of butterflies as they float and dance Around the purple flowers on the rock face and ground Nothing in the world can deliver all this Nature’s dance and natures kiss

The dolphins and turtles live on her shores Their future and garden are enjoyed by all So next time you touch the white sand and sea Make a pledge to the blessing there is no fee

Spiritual blessing on the wings of a bird Touches our hearts and her voice is heard Salt sea water we feel encased Floating through time and space If we all dance to the same beat The God of the ocean will feel complete The swim the sand the fun and the play Nurtures our being everyday The dolphins and turtles live on her shores Their future and garden are enjoyed by all So next time you touch the white sand and sea Make a pledge to the blessing there is no fee Love it don’t leave it the rubbish is hell We owe it to our children to be under her spell Care and love that is all she asks The bell is ringing it is getting dark Spiritual blessing on the wings of a bird Touches our hearts and her voice is heard Salt sea water we feel encased Floating through time and space If we all dance to the same beat The God of the ocean will feel complete The swim the sand the fun and the play Nurtures our being everyday

How lucky are we to have all of this Fairweather’s trail a gift of bliss My little house by the sea The value of experiences of what I see Birthdays Weddings families full of cheer Are all acted out throughout the year Activity silence then just the space A place so special to be encased No hustle or bustle on this parcel of land Just the surf the sea and lots of sand

By Nikita Chee

When Multitasking Goes Wrong Hello Bribie Islanders! Hope your Spring has sprung into action and begun to unveil all the wonder that has been in hibernation. Not long now and our beautiful Bribie Beaches will be beckoning us back to witness the shoreline once again kiss the blushing sand.

Any who, the other day one of my friends that I study with showed me a video clip on social media of some sort of small dog, perhaps a Chihuahua, being held over a baby pool. The little dog’s tiny paws were moving in a swim-like motion fully believing it was immersed in the water but all it was wading through was air. Paddling and paddling away with such poise oblivious to the fact it was not getting anywhere at all! We had a good long chuckle at this likening it to our current state of exertion.

More often than not, we find ourselves busting our guts (sometimes literally) to get things in our life done. Feeding bits and bobs of ourselves here there and everywhere for the noble purpose of efficiency and productivity. However,

it’s only a matter of time before we realize, we’re not really getting anywhere much and we’re tired, stressed and just plain ol’ grumps.

I will say this though, while we have a choice on what jobs we take on and how much effort we determine to put into them, the fault is more so on our system. This generation has indeed been blessed with the innovation of technology. However, with such convenience and easy access to these technologies that wire us in to the ‘What’s Happinin’ of today, we’ve lost the art of doing things simply. We’ve gotten in on the juggling act and need out!

For this reason, I believe that multitasking is a trap. It all looks so appealing: “If I can just balance all of these activities throughout the day, I will get so much done and look super productive”. “I shall be the multitasking Queen!” To some degree that’s applaud-able, on the other hand it can be downright dangerous. What’s the downfall? Stress. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Potatoes and onions remain at record high wholesale prices although many local fruit shops are not raising the prices instore, concerned for customers balking at buying fresh produce overall.

Throw some value-for-money mixed leaf salad, eshallots, herbs and continental cucumbers in the salad bowl but be prepared to pay a firm price for Lebanese cucumbers.

Squash and premium eggplants are also expensive but there is plenty of less costly vegetable on the shelves.

New season asparagus is of a reasonable price with the spears at their best from now until March of next year. Freshly harvested asparagus is similar to cut flowers and needs to be kept in cool, humid conditions. In ideal growing conditions, they can grow 1-2cm per hour.

Pumpkin, snow peas and mushrooms are at bargain prices while Asian vegetables, beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, carrots (with the exception of firmly priced large ones), field eggplants, fennel, leeks, silverbeet, sweet corn and zucchini are reasonable.

Beans are reasonable to firm in price and brussels sprouts are creeping up in price cost you a bit more.

Cauliflower, capsicum, sweet potatoes and parsnips are firmly priced, although larger parsnips are cheaper.

Expect some cheap avocados and

Tomatoes have fluctuated but are edging upwards to a firm price this week, although roma tomatoes are short in supply and expensive.

Strawberries are cheap as a glut of late Queensland varieties has occurred with new season Western Australian punnets arriving.

The best fruit bargains are blueberries, kiwifruit and pineapples. Some poorer quality end of season mandarins are also cheap but the best fruit is firmly priced.

You will pay firmer prices for apples, navel and Valencia oranges, imported grapes, watermelon, honey dew, pears and some rockmelon, which are fluctuating in price.

Bananas are expensive, as are raspberries, lemons, limes, figs, passionfruit and imported stone fruit.

Yellow pawpaw is expensive but the great tasting red variety, also known as papaya, is reasonably priced.

have found that work-related stress caused by trying to juggle too many tasks can cause headaches, sleeping problems, digestive issues, back pain and even things like heart disease and depression (Woolston, 2016). What’s worse is that the very things that you started out to do don’t get done or if they do they ‘re not your best work.

If you want to really produce the goods in your life and produce well, take things more slowly and do them with careful purpose and focus.

Take ripening fruit or vegetables for example. Many a folk have told me that home-grown i.e. slow grown produce tastes immeasurably better then store-bought prematurelyripened food. That is because the rich and heavy juices containing all the flavor have not had enough time in the sun to develop. Instead we get food that looks really good but is not anywhere near its natural state leaving it tasteless.

Everything in life is like this. Things that are done and done well take time. Growth: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, relationships, hobbies, skills and habits, success…

food. It isn’t easy though and I can honestly say that I have found it to be quite difficult myself! It takes discipline, determination and the ability to set flint on a task with patience and perseverance to see it through properly, but the rewards are so worth it. What is better, something that looks like the real thing but under pressure fails on you or something that has gone through a process of testing and trialing and thus has the stamina to pull the job off with expertise.

It all comes down to being able to live in the moment, and be entirely present.

It is then that true satisfaction in life comes. No more of this jumping off to this and that seeking after some kind of rush with a new project. No. Finish the job you’ve started and do a good job of it. You owe it to yourself and the people around you.

Until next time, Nikita

P.s Just out of curiosity, I looked up the antonym of multitask in the dictionary and guess what it was?

Focus. Pretty much says it all.

An African Safari With a Touch of Luxury

By Neil Wilson

Lioness with her kill

If you are considering taking a holiday overseas and want to experience something more than just a visit to other cities in foreign countries, read on to learn about one of the truly unique adventures available to those who want a holiday with a difference.

Long time friends and avid readers of The Bribie Islander, Lyn Chandler and Dawn Phillips recently travelled to South Africa on an adventure into the Kruger Private Reserves which are on the western border of the Kruger National Park.

Dawn, who is a lover of the wildlife in this part of the world and had made the trip before, convinced Lyn that it would be the trip of a lifetime, so the trip was arranged.

Departing Sydney on a Qantas flight direct to Johannesburg, after fourteen

hours in the air they arrived at Tambo International Airport and were transferred for an overnight stay at the Peermont Mondior Hotel at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg.

In the morning it was back to the airport for a one hour flight to Hoedspruit where they were met and taken to the Chapungu Luxury Tented Camp for six days of what is known as glamping (glamorous camping) and expeditions into the bush each morning and evening to see the abundance of wildlife that roam the area.

This beautifully appointed camp offers a range of features that one does not normally expect when camping and takes you back to the elegance, style and class of a bygone era. However, you can easily step back to civilisation with professional

spa treatments and the gastronomical delights on offer.

Each of the camp’s luxurious tents rests on a raised wooden deck, sleeps two and is furnished with snippets of decor from the days of the great African explorers.

Each en-suite bathroom extends onto a deck with a large bathtub, allowing campers to submerge themselves in luxurious relaxation in the great outdoors.

There is also a toilet and a shower for a quick freshen up.

Each morning during their stay in the camp, after a quick cuppa they were taken on the morning game drive in an open Toyota where the tracker is seated right at the front of the vehicle so he can spot the tracks of the wildlife and hopefully guide the tourists to a sighting.

And they were never disappointed

by what they saw. ‘We saw so many different animals each time’ Lyn said.

‘We saw lions, kudu, elephants, giraffes, impala, zebras, rhinos and leopards’ she added. Lyn said that she was hoping to see a cheetah but sadly none appeared.

I bet she felt cheated by that but was probably happy that they spotted a leopard.

They were back at the camp by nine each morning for a beautifully prepared breakfast and free to relax until lunch at two and then the afternoon game drive at three for another chance to see all of the beautiful animals that roam free in the park. ‘It is so good to see elephants walking quietly by inches from the vehicle and rhinos with their horns intact. To see a lioness gnawing on her dinner with her cubs just a few metres away, was a truly memorable sight’, Dawn said. ‘I

highly is the Protrack Rhino Task Team. This is the undermanned and underfunded group of people who give their all in an endeavour to prevent the all too frequent slaughter and mutilation of the animals in the reserve. They patrol the area mainly on foot and stay out for days without anything but the basic essentials to try to lessen the invasion of the poachers who commit atrocities such as cutting off the rhino’s horns and ears. Whilst their efforts have resulted in a reduction of poaching, they do not have the manpower to completely eliminate

Both Dawn and Lyn were full of praise for their time in the camp and said that the food was great, the staff were attentive and the accommodation was wonderful. They also spoke highly about the dedication of Jacinta at Helloworld in Caboolture for organising their trip which went off without a hitch.

Mental Wellbeing in focus

By Veronica Mercer

“But in the end it is only a passing thing…this shadow. Even darkness must pass.” - J.R.R Tolkien There is no doubt that Bribie Island is a slice of paradise with its beautiful blue waters, lovely sandy beaches and relaxing lifestyle. Driving across the bridge feels like I am on holidays; and I hope that never changes.

Hello I’m Veronica and I am a Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and I am going to talk about Mental Health. This is a topic that is not openly talked about enough, even though it affects large pockets within all communities. Currently one million people in Australian suffer from depression and 2.3 million suffer from anxiety. Depression and anxiety affect one in seven and one in four people respectively at some point in their lives. You will know someone who has or is experiencing a mental health issue.

Here in paradise there is a large population who experience mental health issues, and they come from all demographics. In my work I see individuals and families from all walks of life who are facing numerous health challenges. The two key challenges are often depression and anxiety, and though they are different conditions, it’s not unusual for them to occur at the same time.

Did you know that depression-associated disability costs the Australian economy $14.9 billion annually? In Australia today more than 6 million working days are lost each year. Depression costs the

Australian community over $600 million each year in treatment costs. At this time depression is currently the leading cause of non-fatal disability in Australia, with less than 50% receiving medical care.

Approximately 2000 Australians die from suicide every year, many are young men who experience depression and/or anxiety. Mental Health continues to be a taboo subject in society, we all need to work at breaking down the barriers.

When we shine a light on the dark things, they are not so scary or intimidating.

The good news is that most mental health issues can be treated and well managed. So STOP feeling like nobody will understand or that people will think I am weak or crazy. Reach out and talk to someone…life is way too short to waste it feeling distressed.

Isolation is not good for depression, so reach out to friends and loved ones, even if you feel like being alone or don’t want to be a burden to others. Simple by talking to someone about how you feel can be an enormous help. The person you talk to doesn’t have to be able to fix you. They simply need to listen — and be attentive without being distracted or judging.

Get active being on the move helps to reduce the symptoms associated with depression and mental health.

Get outside and enjoy the weather and scenery.

Remember you are not on your own, depression and anxiety are real illnesses; not simply something to “get over”. If you

or someone you know is struggling speak to your General Practitioner or contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800.

than not, have you

Do yourself a favor and have a mental wellbeing check-up.

• found that your anxiety made it difficult for you to do everyday activities (e.g. work, study, seeing friends and family)?

Depression checklist.

If you identify with several of the following signs and symptoms—especially the first two—and they just won’t go away, you may be suffering from depression.

1. You feel hopeless and helpless 2. You’ve lost interest in friends, activities, and things you used to enjoy 3. You feel tired all the time 4. Your sleep and appetite has changed 5. You can’t concentrate or find that previously easy tasks are now difficult 6. You can’t control your negative thoughts, no matter how much you try 7. You are much more irritable, shorttempered, or aggressive than usual 8. You’re consuming more alcohol than normal or engaging in other reckless behaviour. (Beyond Blue) Anxiety Checklist.

Anxiety disorders are medical conditions characterised by persistent, excessive worry. Anxiety disorders can take different forms. What is common to all is an anxiety that is so distressing, it interferes with your ability to carry out or take pleasure from day-to-day activities.

• felt very worried • found it hard to stop worrying

If you answered ‘YES’ to ALL of these questions have you also experienced three or more of the following: • felt easily tired • had difficulty concentrating • felt irritable • felt restless or on edge • had muscle pain (e.g. sore jaw or back) • had trouble sleeping (e.g. difficulty falling or staying asleep or restless sleep)? (Understanding Anxiety) If you find that your responses meet the specific criteria’s for depression and/or anxiety, please speak with someone, your doctor is a good place to start.

Some of my upcoming topics will include, grief and loss, PTSD, living with chronic illness/pain, social phobia, drug and alcohol abuse, different types of therapy, how therapy works, anti-depressant therapy, behavioral issues in children and adolescents, relaxation, mindfulness and if you have any suggestions or questions I will happily try to respond.

Wising you all good mental wellbeing Veronica

CONSCIOUS HEALTH

Conscious Living What road are you on?

I am a meandering path and the one who walks on it.

LET GO OF THE PAST...

I cannot see past each twist and turn.

Based on the work of Louise Hay A life changing program for anyone who wants to move on from the challenges of earlier life

I am overgrown with beauty and delight.

There are berries, flowers and an abundance of variegated leaves and bushes.

The path is soft underfoot with damp earth and the overlaying tree fall.

Imagine moving forward in your life with purpose, optimism and confidence.

I do not care where the path leads, for such is the wonder of each step, each moment.

I do not know what is around each bend, yet I feel safe. I move slowly, finding my own rhythm, not wanting to miss a thing.

I feel a childlike wonder at the abundance of activity in the stillness of nature surrounding me.

I want to treasure each leaf, each berry, each flower, each blade of grass, to experience it fully.

Dappled sunlight filters gently through the canopy and as it does I embrace the ecstasy of the warmth on my skin.

There is mystery and comfort hiding in the shade, exposure and delight in the brilliance of the sun. It is exquisite to stop, feel and absorb these opposites.

The path journeys me, into a rich and profound experience of now.

I almost need not walk any further, and yet, I am curious about what may await me around the corner. If now can be so wondrous, what else may be hidden from view?

It feels like my path has no end, and yet, I sense that at any moment I may come across a glade of luscious, verdant grass, flooded with radiant light.

This sense of impending revelation draws me

Imagine finally letting go of old self limiting habits to create an inspiring joyful life.

Imagine having faith in your decisions knowing you are on your true path. onwards on the path, despite the comfort in my present surroundings.

And so I am compelled to move forward by an invisible cord of light that whispers to me of a deeper joy, a greater love and an expansion within and without.

How about you? Is the road you’re on the one you WANT to be on?

I excel in working with people who feel stuck, whether from pain, anxiety, stress or just a lack lustre life and want to get their life back on the right track. Are you ready to re-groove your life?

I am a Physio, Yoga Teacher, life coach and intuitive healer with over 20 years’ experience and work with clients 1:1 in my Bongaree clinic, as well as running yoga classes and transformational events.

Life is full of opportunity although for some it may not start out that way. As children we don’t have the power to choose our environment and so we learn about life and ourselves from the people and experiences around us. As adults we are now able to take responsibility for our healing and happiness.

The only reason we are unhappy is habits, habits of thought and attitude.

Negative limiting thoughts lead to negative behaviors.

If you are unhappy with your life results it’s time to look to your habits. You have the power to change them. You don’t have to do it all alone however. We all need some support and guidance to navigate change.

I can talk with you confidentially and design a healing program to suit you.

Start your new life now.

In just 3 consultations, you will learn to: • Overcome limiting childhood beliefs • Forgive yourself and others

• Develop positive habits for daily life • Plan a powerful joyous future

islander extraordinaire Norm Thorley

This beautiful island that we are fortunate enough to live on is home to some wonderfully talented people and I had the pleasure of being able to interview one of them recently.

Norm Thorley and his lovely wife Denise have been residents of the island since 1993 and like most locals, have no intention of moving anywhere else. Norm remembers first coming to Bribie when he was a young boy of seven. ‘We came on the Koopa’ Norm told me ‘ I loved it even then’ He added.

At the age of four Norm began to discover his interest in art when he started drawing the pictures found in the Golden Books that were so popular with children for many years. In the seventies he successfully completed a commercial art correspondence course with the Melbourne Institute of Art with the hope of securing a position with an advertising agency but sadly this was not to be. He had also done a sign writing apprenticeship For some years Norm worked for paint companies including British Paints as a troubleshooter in their laboratory.

He then found a job as an artistic designer foe Arnotts which he held until his retirement in 1995.Over this time, Norm developed his skills, at first with sketching and then with the brush.

After retirement, Norm and Denise travelled extensively to overseas destinations including Britain, Europe, Egypt and North America. He was sketching and painting constantly throughout this time and sold many of his works, mainly in England and Canada. He also spent much time sketching some of the marvellous sights he saw among the ruins in Egypt and, as he always sketches an image before putting it on canvas, has sold many paintings of these since being back.

For a complete lifestyle change, Norm and Denise bought a forty four foot boat and lived on the vessel at Spinnaker Sound Marina until, just under a year ago they sold the boat and bought a new well appointed caravan in which they now reside in the relaxed atmosphere of the Bellara Caravan Park Whilst Norm has created a great variety of works, his favourite subject is wildlife and he told me that his goal is to make his paintings look like photos and I must admit that the ones that I’ve seen of elephants, tigers and birds definitely show that he has achieved his wish. .

‘Denise says that I’m improving all the time and it’s true’ Norm said. ‘When I started I have to admit that I really was not very good’ he added.

I first became aware of Norm’s works

of art when I visited The Art Shop Cafe and saw some of his wonderful paintings on display. ‘I used to paint using acrylic because oils were very hard to get’ he said. ‘Then one day I discovered a little shop near Scoopys that sold the oils that I had been unable to get and this was The Art Shop Cafe which has now moved to its current location in Bellara’ Norm said.

By Neil Wilson

Many of Norm’s works are on display at The Art Shop Cafe and there are opportunities for art lovers to purchase one of his beautiful works.

they’re racin Steeped in History As the most sought after win by racehorse owners, trainers and jockeys alike, the Melbourne Cup is one of the oldest events in the history of Australian horse racing and attracts entries from all over the world.

The race, which is ran on the first Tuesday in November each year, has made champions of horses that were previously unknown to many and had no past real success on the track.The inaugural Melbourne Cup was run on November 7th in 1861 and won by a beautiful horse by the name of Archer in a time of three minutes and fifty two seconds. Archer came back the next year to win again in the lesser

time of three minutes and forty seven seconds.

Over the years, multiple winners of the event are relatively few and has not been one since 2005 when true champion Makybe Diva took the prize for an unprecedented third time to repeat her 2003 and 2004 performances. In all there have only been five multiple winners of the Melbourne Cup in the 154 years that the event has been held. The others are Think Big in 1974 and 1975, Rain Lover in 1968 and 1969 and Peter Pan in 1932 and 1934 There are so many interesting statistics associated with this race,

some well known and some not.

The heaviest weight ever carried by a winner of the cup was when the formidable Carbine hit the track with a record sixty eight kgs in 1890. The lightest was fifty eight kgs carried by Makybe Diva in 2005.

Although in general racing statistics it is very often the case where the favourite passes the post first, in the Melbourne Cup, the chances of the favourite getting up for a win are only twenty three percent.

Due to outsiders very often winning the cup, punters have often been rewarded with a decent return for their investment and the more

notable examples of this are the three 100 to 1 winners, The Pearl in 1871, Wotan in 1936 and Old Rowley in 1940. In the opposite to this, Pharlap’s win in 1930 only paid $1.72.

With only a month to go before the race that stops the nation is run again, avid punters will already be making early predictions as to which horse will pass the post first but as we all know, anything can happen in the Melbourne Cup If there is a reader out there who can tell me the winner, please contact me at The Bribie Islander.

ng in the cup

By Neil Wilson

What a Day Whilst not everyone is an avid follower of horse racing, I doubt if there are many who do not stop and watch or listen to the broadcast of that most famous of Australian races the Melbourne Cup. This race is the longest, richest and most prestigious event on the Australian racing calendar.

1932 & 1934 winner Peter Pan ridden by jockey Darby Munro

On the first Tuesday in November, millions are spent by punters throughout the country on one of the most unpredictable races in the world. People who go the rest of the year without having a bet always like to have a flutter on the cup. Venues everywhere hold Melbourne Cup lunches in an attempt to create a

similar atmosphere to that which those who are lucky enough to actually attend Flemington on the day experience.

Ladies step out in the latest fashions (some good and some not) in an attempt to win the normally held competition for best dressed, best fascinator and other associated awards. There is also an abundance of sweeps for everyone to invest a few dollars in without having to go to the trouble of trying to pick a winner.

On a day where all are out to have a good time and most of us spend too much, be it on a bet or fancy drinks and a nice lunch, we all just can’t wait to do it all again the next time.

september crime report It was a busy month on Bribie Island as officers continued to conduct increased traffic enforcement for the school holidays, together with joint patrols with our local rangers in the off-road areas of the Island. In recent weeks there has been a number of complaints regarding public order problems at some of the more remote camp sites, and officers have been tasked to conduct patrols at those locations during the evening. Please call the station at the time to report any disturbances.

Across the month officers intercepted vehicles for breath tests, and issued traffic infringement notices. Officers from Landsborough Road Policing also conducted several patrols of the area, and issued eight traffic infringements, mainly for speeding. Heightened enforcement will continue throughout the school holidays and across the upcoming Queens Birthday long weekend.

Separate to the above mentioned results, Bribie Island Police conducted Operation Firefly 13, which was a joint traffic enforcement operation with staff from Queensland Transport, Roadside Drug Testing Unit, Landsborough Road Policing Unit, Road Policing Task Force and Caboolture Police Station. Starting just after 4am, officers intercepted over 640 vehicles for breath testing, with one alleged drink driver apprehended. Of particular note, officers conducted 43 drug driving tests and detected eight alleged offenders, which highlights the serious issue of drug driving on our roads. 17 defective vehicle notices were issued, together with several other fines for a range of traffic offences including driving an unregistered vehicle and being unlicensed. The number of drug driving detection’s is highly concerning, and further enforcement activity is planned. I would encourage anyone with information about the use or supply of dangerous drugs in our community to contact the station or to call Crime Stoppers.

You may always remain anonymous.

During the last week of the month officers attended to 11 domestic violence incidents. If you or someone you know is living with domestic violence, please contact the station for help.

Always ring Triple Zero (000) in an emergency.

‘Escapades’ follows this tradition, with comedy interspersed with thoughtprovoking drama.

A new work, ‘Gallery Visit’, is set in an art gallery with some rather surprising exhibits.

The cast are excited about bringing these popular and iconic excerpts to local

audiences as they explore the often fraught environment of adult relationships .

The play performances are being held along with displays of works by many of the U3A Arts and Craft classes.

During the year the 23 art and craft groups have been developing their talents in a wide range of areas including drawing, painting with mixed media, acrylic, water-colour and print-making as well as pen-and-ink, pottery and bonsai, card creations and handcrafts.

Many of the members are looking forward to presenting their work at ‘Escapades’.

THE FIRST ROAD BUILT ON BRIBIE ISLAND IN 1924 The following article is provided by Barry Clark, Founder of the Bribie Island Historical Society, and tells the story of the first road built on Bribie Island in 1924.

To mark the 150 year anniversary of the State of Queensland in 2009, a number of Bronze plaques were installed along the waterfront at Bongaree.

This is the fascinating detail of the construction of the first road on Bribie in those early days. If you have any information, stories ,photos of documents that relate to any aspect of Bribie history you can contact bribiehistoricalsociety@gmail.com or speak with them at the Bribie Library on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Temporary jetty on left for unloading road metal 1923

Buses at Bongaree Jetty 1925

First Avenue Originally named Campbell Rd., For the director of the tug company who had the road built from Bongaree to Woorim in 1923. It was planned to be a four lane road and steam tramway, but this did not eventuate although initially it was a toll road.

Construction of the road to Ocean Beach.

• On Bribie Island, a pioneer tourist industry was growing by 1913, but anyone disembarking from the SS Koopa and wishing to go to the surf beach at Woorim, had no real choice but to walk.

• In 1914, Mr GP Campbell of the Brisbane Tug and Steamship Company, obtained the lease for a ‘right of way’ from Bongaree jetty to Woorim intending to provide a steam tram for passengers, but World War I interviened.

• After the First World War, the Brisbane Tug & Steamship Company employed William (Bill) Shirley to supervise the building of the road between Bongaree and Woorim. This was initially named Campbell Road but later changed to First Avenue.

• In 1923 Blake Brothers were contracted to supply and transport gravel and porphyry stone from a quarry at Windsor to a riverside wharf in Brisbane from where it was taken by ship to Bongaree.

• A temporary wooden jetty was built at Bongaree to unload the road materials using a steam-driven derrick to lift the stone into the skip on the jetty.

• Blake Brothers provided the trucks and men for the construction work. Lack of roads and bridges on the mainland, plus

Finished Road 1924

Campbell Road (First Avenue) 1950

having to load trucks on to a cattle barge to cross Pumicestone Passage added to the difficulties of road building.

• Owing to the nature of the sandy soil, workmen cut saplings to be laid across the track in corduroy fashion so that trucks and gravel didn’t sink into the sand.

First Avenue • Bill Shirley, having served with the Army engineers in World War I, came to Bribie Island to supervise the building of the a road to Ocean Beach. It was hard manual work and he camped with the workmen on the island. Returned servicemen were employed, some of whom were TPI pensioners.

• With the completion of Campbell Road to Woorim in 1924, Bill Shirley converted work trucks into simple buses with plank seats, which became part of the Bribie Bus Line, conveying passengers from Bongaree Jetty to Woorim.

• Bill Shirley was the local representative of the Tug & Steamship Company as well as the company’s toll collector on this road, and with his family was proprietor of a large guest house at Woorim Beach • Tourism rapidly expanded and Bill Shirley was very active in promoting trips up the beach from Woorim to the lagoons.

First Avenue—a Vital link • During World War 2 Bribie Island was of strategic importance to Australian Defences of Moreton Bay and Brisbane.

It was a major training area for United States and Australian troops. The road across the island (First Avenue) was the artery from Pumicestone Passage to military installations on Ocean Beach.

• First Avenue remains a vibrant part of island life linking Bongaree Village to the industrial and business area, recreation fields and to the surf club and village of Woorim.

Bribie Island Soccer Football Club Tigers Farewell the Season

The Bribie Island Soccer Football Club held its end of season Presentation Day on Saturday 17 September.

President John Aldous said “2016 has been a year of growth and achievement and the club is proud of all our teams, however two teams have had a tremendous year – our under 12 boys and our under 16 girls both made the finals this year and will be ones to watch in 2017.”

Presenting our awards were our sponsors, our local members of parliament Susan Lamb and Rick Williams, our local Councillor Brooke Savige, Bribie Island State School Principal Peter Keen and Bribie RSL Laurie Leonard.

In addition to our team awards, the Bribie Island RSL “Little Digger Award” went to

Logan who continued to support his team all season even though he was unable to play due to an injury and our Volunteer of the Year was Kayleen Waters who has worked tirelessly for the club.

Club sign-on will be held in the last weekend of January 2017 – 28th and 29th.

FOR MORE INFORMATION John Aldous President Mobile: 0404 056 830 Email: thepresident@bribieislandfc.com.au

Minor Premiers win preliminary final over Bribie Island Tigers Bribie Island’s Tigers went down to the Bee Gees 2-0 in the under 16 girl’s preliminaryfinal match at Caloundra on September 3.

With both teams pushing themselves for the win, the Tigers kept the pressure up to the Bee Gees. Both team were working hard and a number of shots at goal were missed on both sides.

With the Bee Gees finishing the season on top of the ladder, this game was always going to be tough, but the Bribie Island Tigers were a match for them. For almost 30 minutes the teams held each other at bay, until the Bee Gees scored the only goal for the first half.

With less than ten minutes to play the Bee Gees scored a second goal confirming their spot in the Grand Final. While the result does not reflect how hard these teams worked and right up until the full time whistle the Tigers gave their all. This team will certainly be one to watch for next season.

Minor Premiers win preliminary final over Bribie Island Tigers

An Oasis of Calm Artist of the month: Cath Grant @ The Bribie Island Community Art Gallery.

191 Sunderland Drive, Bribie Island.

Opening on Sunday, October 2nd Sunday, 30th October 2016.

I invite you to join me for a talk I am hosting, accompanied by a morning tea on Wednesday, 12th of October @ 10.00 am.

“An Oasis of Calm” pays homage to the unprecedented beauty of Bribie.

A collection of acrylic artworks that combines, colourism, pointillism and abstract expressionism.

A lover of nature all my life, over 2/3rds of Bribie Island is National Park, so it is a veritable wonderland. Moving to Bribie Island has been the spiritual equivalent of signing a new lease on life.

If I liken my life to a tapestry, then art has always been the common thread, woven into the fabric of my life story.

Painting for me is like riding an unbridled stallion across an infinite landscape. It ignites my senses in every conceivable way. It is my alphabetical road map, always leading me to Zen. Contact details: Cath Grant – 0468925391. www.cathgrant.com.au

OCTOBER 2016 - ISSUE 27

fishing bribie

September means big flattys The East Australian Current is slowly moving the nutrient rich water of the Tasman Sea, northwards up the east coast of Australia. Over the next month, the current will be almost non-existent out on the offshore reefs. The Bay, Passage and inshore Reefs, generally only get tidal movements, throughout the year, as the EAC, doesn’t really push in and affect the tidal regions.

Around the full and new moons, always means, bigger tides and stronger runs.

These bigger tides, are called Spring tides. The week after the full and new moons, bring smaller tides and not as much tidal flow. These periods of tides are called, Neap tides. Tides will definitely affect where and how you fish, depending

on the species you are targeting. Certain species love fast moving deep water while others move out of the strong current and into eddies or areas of lesser tidal flow. Moving around during the different stages of tides, and taking note of different bite times throughout will enable you to learn more about the area, and hopefully catch more fish.

As we know, the moon is the factor that affects catch results and bite times. So, OK ,the moon comes up every day for about 12 hours depending on the stage of the moon, will depend on when it rises. Around the Full Moon it rises at about 6pm,and every day after it’s usually 45mins to an hour later. So roughly 12 - 14days after a full moon, is the New

The author Vin, and Bretto who’s from Bellmere, both with another bag limit catch of flattys (5 each) 7 more where caught and released

Moon, which rises at 6am. 90% of the fish caught over any 24hr day, will be caught, when the moon is up or rising, or falling. You take note for yourself and you will see that this 12 hour period when the moon is up, will usually be the most productive time to fish. The moon phases definitely affect crabbing and prawning as well.

with still some nice sand crabs being caught out in the Bay. Fresh fish frames, mullet and whiting frames the best bait.

Good quality pro pots, and a good 24hour soaking, will see good results.

Mud crabs will still be a couple of months away. Generally, November through till June the best months to chase muddies.

Spring time, what a lovely time of the year to get out on the water. Whether it’s a serious off shore trip, a night up the Passage (fishing, camping, crabbing), or just a relaxing day on the water with friends and family. September and October should see quite stable Water Patterns throughout with maybe the odd low pressure system pushing up the Coast.

Now is a good time to get all your trolling gear and Pelagic gear sorted, for what I believe to be another cracker game season. The small Blacks, Wahoo, Sailfish, Dolphin fish and Mackerel species should turn up over the next couple of months.

The crabs won’t be too far behind either,

Lots of Duskies around at the moment, as the annual spawning run starts early September. Plenty of school sized male fish hanging around the big females at present. Nearly every fish hooked, has one or two following it to the boat. On one session off Bongaree, we caught and released over 22 Flatties, with the biggest going 89cm. These big fish are 100% breeding females,that produce thousands of babies every season. So ensure you take a few quick snaps, and release them back to produce a few more thousand fish, for next year.

Anyway, it’s going to be a great couple of months, to get out and enjoy what this lovely part of the World has to offer.

Tight lines! “don’t destroy what you came to enjoy”

THE BRIBIE ISLANDER

OCTOBER 2016 - ISSUE 27

letters to the editor

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

shopping areas.

You have lifted the bar with your latest edition, well done the paper looks great.

Is it Possible to create a Koala Habitat here on Bribie Island

Philip Alridge Banksia Beach

With the demise of habitats for Koalas in Queensland, is it possible to create a habitat for Koalas by planting species of Gum trees that will help and feed Koalas?

We also get those who for some strange reason pick up their dog poop in a bag and then throw the bag on people’s lawns or streets.

Dear Editor, I would like to pay the postage to have the Bribie Islander paper posted to me here at the aged care village Deception Bay. While living at Beachmere I was taking the paper since having to go into care here I cannot get it. I really enjoy the stories about the birds, insects, etc. And the photo club pictures are wonderful I have started to collect to start a scrapbook. The poets corner is usually great also. The ads are helpful to my family when they visit, not useful for me now though. I would like to pay postage and get the paper. Thank you for a really interesting paper.

Yours sincerely, C A Holloway Deception Bay.

More and more Koala habitats are being reduced through land development and city and town expansions why is it that no one is considering Bribie as a place that could help with the survival of Koalas?

I am only offering this as a consideration, if there are reasons why it cannot be considered I would like to know why?

Otherwise let us see someone follow through with this query?

C Frost Dear Editor, Bribie Island beautiful one day and awful the next.

Dear Editor, Again a newsworthy diverse edition giving insight to Bribie Island and surrounding area. Thank you to all of the team for giving insight and community participation.

Bill Peacock Bribie

We have a large area Forestry and National Park that could be utilised to give the dwindling Koala numbers a special haven.

Bribie Island is a fantastic place to live, beautiful beaches and for the most beautiful people.

So why do we have dirty lazy people littering our fantastic place?

I am not talking about cigarette butts, sweet wrappers or takeaway wrappers.

I am talking about filthy used disposable nappies, left on the beaches even at or near

If you want to live in this wonderful place be a better person and do not bring your disgusting habits with you.

I ask all to be vigilant and keep an eye out for those who bring these dirty habits with them and make your thoughts known to their dirty deeds.

C Frost Dear Editor, Recently, Moreton Bay Regional Council advised Woorim residents of the construction of TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES (roundabouts) at the intersections of Boyd and Benny Steets and at Boyd Street and Oxley Way. These two, and two earlier ones at Boyd Street and First Avenue and at Arcadia Avenue and First Avenue are apparently ‘’make work;; projects to utilise surplus employees, and to re-assure ratepayers that our money is being spent on localised improvements.

However, did the Council first seek resident’s views about the two new roundabouts? Of course not.

Ever since the closure of exits to First avenue, Blaik Street and Hutchinson Street, Oxley Way has now become a speedway for maniacs! Being a residential area, the speed limit in Oxley Way is officially fifty

| 51

kph but how many motorists adhere to that limit? If they dare to do so, the law abiding ones are tailgated, horn honked or finger abused by the road rage brigade Al day, and particularly from two to five in the afternoon, the noise of turbo powered four wheel drives and delivery trucks is incessant and the average speed for most being at least seventy kph. Often it is around eighty or ninety kph. Local children play at the intersection of Winnett Street and Oxley on their skateboards and scooters. It is here that a roundabout should be constructed to slow the speeding vehicles enter7ing Oxley Way from either end. and not at the Boyd Street – Oxley Way end as planned.

Many motorists loathe the essential gear changes and speed reduction when approaching roundabouts, but the sake of children’s safety and the peaceful enjoyment of the area surrounding the Winnett Street and Oxley Way intersection, the Council’s chief engineer needs to reconsider existing plans.
