Jandowae Trail Bike Ride This year’s Jandowae Trail Bike was the best attended of three rides held in recent years, with 435 riders attending over the weekend of 5th and 6th July. We have received much positive feedback from riders about the track and the way our event was run.
Council, for in kind assistance. This event would also not have been possible without the cooperation of our landholders, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks for allowing use of your land both leading up to and during the Trail Bike Ride weekend.
Many arrived on Friday night and camped out under the stars, and were treated to a reasonably warm Saturday morning, but ice covered the hill early Sunday. This didn’t slow anyone down for long though!
As with every community event, volunteers are the driving force and it was fantastic to see a range of people from our community donating their time both before, during and after the Trail Bike Ride. Tracks were prepared and patrolled by sweeps over the weekend, signs were erected and the campsite prepared, tents went up and down again, people baked and served in the canteen, while others stood at gates, delivered fuel and coordinated communications. We thank everyone who assisted a little or a lot, as the combined effort made for a great event in 2014, with local community groups set to benefit financially.
A full canteen operated on both Saturday and Sunday, and riders also enjoyed wood fired pizzas on Saturday night while they watched the day’s activities on the big screen. Community events such as the Jandowae Trail Bike Ride rely on the support of not only the riders, who we thank for making the trip to Jandowae, but also sponsors and volunteers.

Warra Races
Jandowae “Jammin”
Patrons had a great day at the Warra Races on Saturday 5th July. The weather was fine and the cool south westerly stayed away for most of the day. A crowd of approximately 450 to 500 people came together to make the day a great occasion of racing and socialising.
WOW! What a Sunday session we had last month. I was run off my feet and we had at least 80 people and heaps of food for all to enjoy.
There was six races for the day which included an Arabian race to kick off events. Scott Cooper President

Over the next few months the hall will be going through a few changes, all thanks to QGC, JBCG and the WDRC. This is stemming from the efforts over the last year, and coordinating the grant and extra funds from the Western Downs Regional Council to have the Memorial Hall repainted and repaired. The JBCG was given the official announcement of the QGC Grant for the painting of the Hall. Let me thank Cr Tony Brame, Carolyn Fisher and Wayne Osburn from the WDRC and Sarah Worthing from QGC for all their work and enthusiasm. The Sunday session was again full of different and very talented people from our local area and also from Toowoomba, Kingaroy, Dalby and Chinchilla. All in all, about 16 different artists. Let me put a special thanks to the Boys of Boongara (Charlie, Geoff and Ken) and a local thanks to a talented young lady by the name of Lacey Brownhall; it’s great to see a young lady come and entertain the crowd. It was just beautiful. (I still can’t get the gist of the cup thing; guess I lack coordination.) It’s also great to see David Rice coming out of his shell and playing some great songs. Did everybody see the pictures in the Dalby Herald: a full page of photos of the day and everybody enjoying the music. Let me thank you for coming along and making the day what it is, I enjoy putting it together with Les and Oakey, two people who have a passion for the music and what it gives to the town. Again thank you all.

Bell Race Club to Benefit from QGC Sustainable Communities Fund The Committee and members of the Bell Race Club are delighted at having Communities fund was established to benefit communities within QGC’s area of operation in Western Downs, Gladstone, North Burnett and Banana secured a grant to further enhance their facilities. Shire Local Government Areas. QGC Pty Ltd has provided $29,467 from the QGC Sustainable Communities Fund to install roller doors on the covered spectator area at the Bell Wayne McGuire Treasurer Recreation Reserve. The grant will allow the Bell Race Club to enclose the covered spectator area and greatly improve the facility for year-round activities by providing protection from the elements. Spokesman for the Bell Race Club, Wayne McGuire, said he welcomed the QGC funding that would allow the club to add the roller doors. “It was a project which had been discussed by the club for many years without the financial means to achieve it. All patrons will now be able to enjoy a much more comfortable time at the many events hosted at the grounds by the various associations and private groups,’’ Mr McGuire said. Don McNamara, president of the Bell Show Society, who is one of the other associations sharing the facilities said, “This grant will provide a much needed addition to the covered area and we welcome the support QGC are providing through the Race Club. The doors will be most welcome especially with protection through the winter months from the prevailing easterly winds,” Don said. Wayne McGuire, Treasurer of the Bell Race Club and Sarah Worthing, Social Performance Coordinator, QGC, standing on one side of the building which will QGC Vice President Sustainability Brett Smith said the QGC Sustainable have the roller doors installed
Landcare News Brigalow Floodplain Landcare group will be holding their AGM on the 11 September at the Jandowae Cultural Centre and Library. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP so we can organise catering. With the new funding models proposed by both State and Federal Governments, it will be interesting to identify how the community perceives Landcare, and what new directions Landcare should take moving forward to the future. We can only achieve this with the support and input from the community. There are a few regional representative positions vacant at the moment, so if there is anyone interested in volunteering please contact us. These areas include the deputy rep for the Brigalow Floodplain and the deputy rep for the Yaralla/Pirrinuan areas. If anyone is interested in any of the management committee positions, please contact the BJFG. We would like to thank Kelly Waddell for all her help and the work that she undertook in the role of secretary for the Brigalow Jimbour Floodplain group. She will be missed and we would like to wish her all the best for her future endeavours. Kelly has been working for BJFG as secretary for the last four years and during that time has been an integral part of the BJFG executive. They will certainly be very big shoes to fill.

Jandowae and District Progress and Heritage Association Ian Gall and I have made two trips to Toowoomba bringing back weatherboards and regency pine boards which have been purchased from Toowoomba Recycled Timber and Furniture.
Over the Timbertown weekend, the Athlone Cottage precinct proved to be a very popular destination for both visitors and past residents. It was amazing how much interest was shown in the further development of the site-mainly the original school building.
With this timber now on site, we are in discussions with our preferred builder as to the cost of this work and as to when he can start the restoration. We are talking to the Western Downs Regional Council regarding their in-kind support scheme, which may be able to help us with the drainage of storm water from our buildings.
It was pleasing to see over 50 people attend the Sunday morning combined Churches service and a collection for the Chaplaincy at the Jandowae State School resulted in over $500 being received.
The interest in Athlone Collage precinct is growing all the time with more groups visiting our site. So far this year we have had weddings, school visits, men’s clubs, seniors’ groups, and caravan clubs visiting our historic site.
Following the Timbertown weekend, I received a phone call from Bruce Thomas. He was particularly interested in the school project and offered a very generous and substantial amount of money. As a result of Bruce’s generosity the committee has taken the first steps to commence restoration of the old building.

Jandowae Scouts
Lions Club
Scouts meet on Tuesdays from 5:30–7:30pm, while Joeys and Cubs are on Thursdays from 4:45pm–6:45pm. Joeys and Cubs are combined at present until the Joey group grows again. Remember, if you have a child aged 6 to 10.5 years old, please think about the adventure and personal development available through the Scouting movement. Our Section Leaders will be happy to see some new faces enjoying the programmes on offer.
The Jandowae Lions Club recently had morning tea at the Taralga Retirement Village, where we had great pleasure in presenting three sets of outdoor tables and chairs to the village for use by the residents when they are outside enjoying the lovely days. We are proud to be able to assist our local residents with things they are able to get use and enjoyment from. It was a lovely morning and the staff supplied a delicious morning tea for us, and we wish Mr Geoff Sullivan and all his staff a very good year ahead.
How quickly the past 4 four weeks seem to have gone. News this month is that a number of exciting Scout and Cub Camps are offered in the term programme, undertaken by Section Leaders. Section leaders are also in need of parent/family helpers for weekly activities. The more help they receive the more time they can devote to the youth programmes. Website - We are now part of the Darling Downs Region to be known as “Beauaraba” with the Regional Commissioner Michael Brown. We are linked to an overall website via a ‘tag button’. New information and pictures have yet to be added in. It would seem there have been past websites, now discontinued, with unknown webmasters. If anyone still has access to these defunct sites, would they please let us know ASAP so they can be deactivated or dismantled. At present, when they do pop-up they are misleading, even indicating no local contacts or are very out of date. Your help on this is sought. In the meantime, we have asked the HQ techies if they have any ideas how we might deactivate these old websites!!! Ah…the wonders and frustrations of the new technologies. Drum-Muster Update - The Drum Muster is continuing. Unfortunately, the expected July on-farm pickup was derailed due to an accident (broken leg!) of the driver/operator of the onsite drum crushing plant. Finding a temporary, skilled replacement in Toowoomba depot has taken some time. The pickup WILL go ahead. We have several good pickups registered. If YOU still have drums for pickup and would like to register there is still space for you. The truck takes up to 10,000 on a visit, so do not feel you’ve missed out. Ring up today and it will happen.

Expression of Interest to Host Australia Day 2015
The Role of the Committee, Group Leaders and Section Leaders - The Committee and Group Leader work hard to make these activities possible. The Committee and Group Leader have a focus which is concerned with outcomes and overall welfare of youth rather than direct involvement on a weekly basis. The Group Leader and Committee enable the Section Leaders to deliver programmes in line with Australian and World Scouting Guidelines. There is a good deal of background administration and paperwork involved. In turn fundraising and housekeeping tasks form a part of the Committee activity. These days much of this is still through monthly or ‘as needed’ meetings. However a good deal of the Group Leader’s tasks are via the internet and phone calls. Some of this is regular administration, as well as following up on grant and financial subsidies which might be available to the Group. The Section Leaders, on the other hand, are fully focussed on the youth members and the weekly activities in a closer, more personal way.
Each year, an opportunity arises for community groups to nominate an Expression of Interest to host the following years Australia Day celebrations. In 2015 a host organisation and venue is required in the Jandowae and District area for a breakfast event.
At our recent half-yearly report meeting, it was agreed that Committee and Section Leader names, contacts and positions would be added to our News Brief inline with general HQ and legislation requirements.
Expressions of Interest close Friday 26 September 2014.
Sincerely, yours in Scouting, the Jandowae Group. Grp Ldr. Olivia Rose (4668 5810) Chair - Jacquie Newton (0417 282 447) Fund-Raising Co-ordinator Michelle Hawton (4668 5507) Treasurer - Barb Briskey (4668 5456) Section Leaders: Kylie Lankowski and Justine Johnson......at The Den, High St. at times shown.
The aim is to have a function unique to other Australia Day events, displaying how proud we are to be Australian. Western Downs Regional Council is currently calling for Expressions of Interest from groups or organisations wishing to host the Australia Day Celebrations for Monday 26 January 2015. Why not get a committee together in your local town area to share the celebrations. Submissions are to be in writing to CEO Western Downs Regional Council PO Box 551 Dalby Qld 4405.

Brigalow Dresses Up Again for Cancer Research The glitz and glamour of the Annual Brigalow Licenced Ball is on again on Saturday, August 16. The ball has always been a much-anticipated event on the Brigalow Social Calendar. Dances and events have been held at the Brigalow Hall for 80 years. This time honoured tradition will be seeing locals and friends frocking up and doing their part to support fellow Queenslanders affected by cancer. The Hall committee took the decision several years ago to continue to run the event and donate all profits from the night to the Chinchilla Cancer Council. Having lost several long term and treasured members to cancer, the committee wants to their bit to help to help the cancer council with funds towards research, education and patient support services. As cancer touches so many people in our community the committee wants to make difference in the fight.
People from all ages and families will enjoy a night of dancing and socialising. There will be a licenced bar and prizes available throughout the night with lucky spots, Monte Carlos, raffles and lucky door prizes. The very popular Sound Elite, who will be encouraging us to try the “Gypsy Tap”, “Pride of Erin” and many other popular old-time dances, will provide the musical entertainment. For the young at heart there is always the “Chicken Dance” and “Hokey Pokey”. There will be a supper to top off a wonderful night. The Brigalow ladies are renowned for their sumptuous suppers with sandwiches, hot savouries and an amazing array of cakes and slices. So come and enjoy a wonderful evening and keep the traditional of old-time dances alive. See you on August 16. Brigalow Hall Committee
President, Bill Dalhleimer is hoping that once again the Brigalow and surrounding communities will once again support this enjoyable event.

Jandowae participants are also noticing improvements in their posture and balance, and report that they feel “more aware of self and less likely to fall”.
The Jandowae group meets each Monday at 9am in the Anglican Church Hall at Market Street and they have derived great benefit from these lessons. Joan Seiler, an excellent teacher, is a Level Two Instructor of Tai Chi for Arthritis and has made this program enjoyable. Anyone can learn Tai Chi; men and women of any age. Don’t be put off if you have mobility problems or other physical ailments. Once mastered, Tai Chi may help relieve your symptoms.

Kindy Kapers The Jandowae Trail Bike Ride was once again a very successful fundraiser and I would like to extend a huge thank-you to Mandy, Sharyn and Sarah for organising the catering and volunteers. Thank-you goes to the parents and grandparents who also helped out. I noticed people who volunteered despite not having children at either Kindy or school and who have nothing to do with bikes. Your help was greatly appreciated. I heard great reports about the tracks for the different age and skill levels. Any money raised will be shared between the Kindy and the Jandowae School P&C and will go toward equipment for the local children. The official opening of the Kindy was held on the 27th of July at the Kindergarten. Whilst researching when the Kindy opened, I was surprised at the many locations and forms that Kindergarten had taken over the years. Thank-you to Jocelyn Martin for helping to open the Kindy. The kids enjoyed having their faces painted by Celeste; a huge effort, thanks Celeste! The variety of morning-tea provided by the parents was fantastic (but not the day to start a diet). Thanks to Kelly, Courtney and Connie for setting up the Kindy and the memorabilia. We have a new “name” sign at Kindy; thanks to Red Clark for organising and installing it! All past and present attendees of the kindergarten were invited to attend and it was great to see some local faces whose children have also attended our Kindy. I am sure that everyone enjoyed their morning. Once again, I would like to thank the 2012 committee, lead by Kate Haig, for securing the funding and the 2013 Committee for enabling the building of the Kindy. The building subcommittee had many challenges during the project and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Jill Alexander and Annie Cusack for persevering and making the building a reality. A representative from C&K has advised us that our application is next to be assessed, so hopefully I will have some news in this regard in the coming months. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Chris Nelson for all the work she does not only having submitted this application twice, but for all the day to day work that is never too much trouble. Hopefully, Chris, it will not need to be submitted again! We are still working on our landscaping at Kindy and any donations of native plants and shrubs would be greatly appreciated. “Like” our Jandowae Kindy noticeboard page on Facebook for regular updates on Kindy events and activities. Until next Month. Maree Taylor President 18 - August 2014
Group A News A big welcome to Mitchell Rennick and his family. Mitch has begun attending Monday Kindy this term. Story time, in whichever form (books, puppets, felt characters), is our favourite session. We often have it two or even three times a day. This passion we believe was ignited from our own rich childhoods, where the memories of our parents reading to us are some of the warmest and most vivid. I think we all have ‘favourite’ childhood books in which we love sharing with children as adults. Story time at Kindy takes us on many wonderful learning adventures. We learn how to handle books, engage with print, build knowledge about an array of topics, learn about new concepts, practice language and build our vocabulary. Books take us on a journey where we can become so engrossed that we forget where we are (reduces stress and anxiety), we build co n ce nt rat i o n ability and curiosity! We could go on and on. Our job however, is to build children’s love of books to set them up on the right literacy path before they enter more formal instruction at school.
We strive to connect children to the stories we have read during their play. Our recent editions to our ‘Outdoor Bush-Mud Kitchen’ are supporting children to re-visit stories and engage in further explorations. Last week, we read the renowned ‘Wombat Stew’ written by Mem Fox. After reading this book, the children created recipes based on natural food objects found in our gardens and made a wonderful muddy mess. We have further explored literacy and mathematical concepts during cooking adventures such as reading lists and measuring ingredients which all came about from reading this text. We are also about to introduce children to their first ‘author study’ as we merge close to Book Week. The early childhood author we will explore is the talented Pamela Allen, who has written many award winning early childhood titles. We hope to have our children begin developing their own books very soon! Connie, Courtney and Kel
Group B News Welcome back to Term 3 at Jandowae Kindy! We have recently been exploring changes in season in relation to the Earth and sun. With this has come an interest in learning about space! After reading books and watching videos about the solar system, Zavier told me, “We live on the crust of the Earth.” Oliver said, “It is too hot to live on Mars, you would burn.” After thinking more carefully about Planet Earth, we discovered that Earth is home to so many living species both on the land and in our oceans.
where Denmark was on the globe, we discussed d i f fe re n t methods of transport. Can you get there by boat, car or an aeroplane? “You could use a submarine,” said one little voice. Apparently, When we got talking about different seasons, Alice you can get to China by boat! The children were told us about a friend who lives in Denmark where using this learning in their play when they made it snows at Christmas time. After discovering maps to track where they were going to fly their aeroplane. We are very excited to see our broccoli, carrots and lettuce growing! We should also have snow peas and radish growing soon. Stay tuned for next month’s edition as we build on our knowledge about space and in particular planet Earth! Courtney, Connie and Rhiannon

Families Trees that Turn into Forests I know I suggested last month that this column would be about the sawmill on the Washpool. I may have even made another suggestion some months earlier that I would write about it next, as well. But due to certain circumstances I am at this time unable to write on the subject. I do have a good reason. I never asked the man with all the answers about the sawmill to share some of them with me. No more promises! So, on another tack altogether. Let’s look a family tree, or to be more precise, the Brazier family tree, which it seems as I investigate wider and deeper, is rapidly turning into a forest of trees.

The Young and Healthy We have a lot of loyal customers whom I have come to know well, but sometimes when I go out, I realise that there are lots of people I don’t know at all. They are the young and healthy. So what can their local pharmacy offer the healthy? Jandowae Pharmacy stocks giftware for all ages and offers free gift-wrapping. People often remark that our range includes unique things that aren’t in every chain store. We can do basic watch repairs such as changing batteries and bands. You can also order trophies through us or buy locally produced Moy’s honey. We are a parcel point delivery location, so as more online retailers use parcel point, we will be your local collection point. If and when you do get sick, your local pharmacy can offer free management advice ,which may include something they can do at home, referral to a doctor or a treatment plan using either the products a pharmacist is allowed to prescribe, or over-the-counter medicines. You can also pick up and get advice on a number of things a well-organised home should keep, such as first aid supplies, sunscreen and insect repellent and day to day needs from soap to cosmetics to toilet paper. You may not realise that we can safely dispose of your expired medicines. We also collect unwanted eye-glasses and frames for the Lions club to recycle overseas. Also, because I live in the pharmacy, and am not out very much, it is easy to lend a hand out of hours as well because the pharmacy is a room in my home. There is an after-hours bell in the middle of the building or you can get my attention by ringing the numbers on the front door. If I am home, I will hear the home number or the mobile if I am out and about. Sometimes I can help with advice over the phone anyway. It is just one of the advantages of living in a country town.

Health & Beauty Ask OptomTom Your questions answered by the experts at Eyecare Eyewear
In your Recent School Screenings, why did you include the Left Right Reversal Test? What has that got to do with Vision? The Left Right Test was designed to identify children who have difficulties in the recognition of object, letter, number and word reversals. Scores can be compared to those of children of the same age, providing an accurate indication of performance compared to peers.
In my opinion, the Jordan Left Right Reversals test is an effective screening tool to assist in the early detection of learning disabilities. It is certainly a worthy inclusion in any school based screening and is an important part of my comprehensive vision assessment.
While this test does not measure the important skill of being able to see things (visual acuity), it does provide invaluable information regarding the brain’s ability to process visual information. Deficiencies in these skills have been linked to problems with learning to read and to underachievement at school.

Eulogy
In Loving Memory of
O
Violet Jean Hawton
ur Mum, Violet Jean Hawton was born on the 28th of November 1927 at the Oakey Hospital. She was the second child of William and Violet Bormann (nee Hodges). Her brothers were Edgar and Don, and sisters Lorna, Daphne, Betty and Doreen. Her earliest memories were of helping raise her siblings and working very hard doing farm chores. Her Dad worked at the saw mill and her Mum did share farming. She went to school at Silverlea and Cambooya and various other places where the family moved to work. After she left home she worked at the hotel in Jandowae cooking and cleaning. She met our dad, Stanley William Hawton, and they were married on the 20th December 1947. They had five children: Sylvia, Margaret, David, Gloria and Peter. Dad passed away on 10th September 1975. Mum and Dad had moved into the railway house when Sylvia was only a baby. Mum continued to live there after Dad passed on and it was her home for over 60 years. As well as her home duties, Mum had various jobs including cleaning houses and childminding for many families in Jandowae. Some of those families were the Camerons, Erzetics and Bassingthwaites. She was a nurse to Dad, Grandma Hawton, her brother Edgar, sister-in-law Daisy, and brother-in-law Eric when they were very ill. The attending doctors always praised how well she looked after them. She volunteered to help on many occasions with activities like church cleaning and helping with organising bingo and hoy mornings. She enjoyed going to the races with Daisy and Eric.
As children, we may not have had that many possessions, but we always had clean clothes and
yummy food that Mum always took the time to provide. She would work all day for other people then come home and do all her own housework.
Mum was very proud of us all and whatever we achieved. She was always there to support us. She enjoyed spending time with all her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren too. Each and every one of us will have many memories of times spent with her. Mum loved her garden and was very proud about how she took care of it. When she could no longer do it, she supervised its care very thoroughly. Everyone admired it. It was indeed a wonderful park land. She would sneak extra water onto it when the restrictions were on. People were amazed how good it looked then. Through all the years she lived alone, Mum was very independent and did so much for herself. She was very proud of her tool shed with every tool in it you could ever want. She was a very organised and tidy person; very house proud. Everything she got she worked very hard for, and cherished all her possessions and took such great care with everything. She was a great cook, whether it was cooking her favourite yellow belly or cakes or Christmas puddings, which she still mixed up last Christmas. She loved cooking up people’s favourite foods. When any of the family were coming to stay, she would have everything done up and food bought, with things done the way they liked. She put so much effort in to making the time special. She was a good friend too and missed those who passed away or moved away. She has always been well respected by many people around Jandowae and district. Mum was a great letter writer and would produce pages and pages of local news for those of us she wrote to; some of us, weekly. As well, her letters always included her views on sport or current affairs. Tiger Woods was her favourite golfer. She would sit up late watching the golf on TV or lie in bed all night listening to the radio, when the Australians were playing cricket matches overseas. She loved watching TV and listening to the radio and knitting and
crocheting and doing her word books. She also loved playing cards with whoever came to visit. Her favourite game was Frustration and she always scored the game. For the last few years there have been some very special people who have helped Mum out in many different ways, some who are still living here in the town and others who have moved away. You know who you are and on behalf of Mum and all the family a very big thanks goes to you. Right up to the end she was mentally very alert and was frustrated when her body, especially her legs, just didn’t let her do what she wanted to do. She was able to look after herself until Easter this year when her ill health became apparent. She was lovingly cared for by Sylvia, Nev and family in Sylvia’s home until she was admitted to Toowoomba General Hospital in late May. She was seriously ill and into palliative care in June, where she remained until she passed away peacefully at 7:40 pm on Wednesday 18 June. She is much loved and will be deeply missed by all her family and friends and others who knew her. Gloria Binney

One Thing You Should Do When You ‘Settle Down’ By You’ve tied the knot, bought the house, got the family car, baby number one is on the way and you have settled into married life. But have you considered organising life insurance to allow for all these factors in your life? Now that it’s not just you anymore, you need to ensure your loved ones will be looked after if you’re no longer there. Here are some things to consider when choosing or adjusting your life insurance policy: Does your life insurance cover your debt? Ensuring your house mortgage, car loan, credit card debt are covered under your policy is the first step to safeguarding your family from inheriting your debt and not having the home or car repossessed.
How to get the best deal We’ve all seen the daytime television commercials for cheap life insurance but how does it compare to others? Cheapest is not always the best. Do your homework and compare the deals because simple is not always cheaper, the cover may be inadequate or, worse still, may not pay out when you or your family need it most. It’s best to get advice on how premiums are calculated so you know you’re not going to be paying more than you need to over time. The best advice is to seek advice specific for your situation. Be prepared and talk through your options. Don’t leave it until it’s too late. Isn’t your family the most important thing in the world?

Gardening
Jandowae and District Garden Club Inc. The next meeting of the Garden Club is on Tuesday 26 August at the Jandowae Library • Reading Room. Helen Young from Proston will have her plants for sale. Please bring lunch to share, a mug and a flower for the Flower • Competition. Also remember to bring a soil and • water sample to be pH tested. In June, we travelled to Warra and met in the garden of Rob and Trish Henderson. We were able to sit in the sun on the front lawn where we were sheltered from the cool June wind. Paul and Olive Winter from Dalby were our nursery people. Paul, who trades as Landscaping and Natural Design, gave us a talk on how the pH profile of our garden soil and water is so important to the vigorous growth of our plants. He explained the pH scale and what we can do to alter the pH levels in our soil. Paul and Olive donated a pH Tester to the Garden Club so that members can bring a soil or water sample to our meetings and get it tested. Thank you for this thoughtful gift. It will be well used I’m sure.

To say that Rob and Trish’s garden is unique is an understatement. It is obvious they have spent many hours of thought and work to get • the garden looking as it is today.

Many varieties of ground cover shrubbery as it holds many different pot
plants fill in spaces. Ornaments and solar lights are scattered throughout the garden ready to catch the viewer’s eye. Imagine all of this amongst Trish’s relics and you can see what added effect these give to the garden. Relatively new shrubs such as white duranta, geraniums and a bottlebrush thrive on the eastern front fence. This area leads into the eastern side of the house where very little sun is had. Trish has established an attractive pebble area with strategically placed bricks to form a large square, a large circle and many smaller squares to emulate pavers. With many shrubs and more relics and plants this is all very eyecatching indeed. Adjacent to the carport at the back of the house is a bird aviary housing two happy Quarrion. An old trough sits in front of here where a large variety of herbs grow. A knapsack, a rusty dingo trap and other old farm tools hang next to the birdcage from an old gate attached to the carport wall. In front of this a flowering pig face, a murraya, mother-in-law tongue and several other cacti grow in a small garden bed. Lunch on the day was served on the large cemented patio at the back of the house. This area has pots hanging from the rafters, more pots on the back steps and also on the patio itself. An old washbasin with a corrugated backing wall sits at the end of the patio. Thank you to Rob and Trish for sharing their lovely garden with us. Our September meeting will be our AGM.
