WOW!! - our sense of arrival has arrived

The new grid and entrance panels have been installed, we think you'll agree the panels look spectacular, and the grid is a delight, no more gate to hold us up!

Warm thanks to the Gambling Community Benefit Fund for making this project possible, also to Western Downs Regional Council for the grid and assistance with installation, and most of all to Jenny and Andy Cameron (pictured above) who designed and installed the panels. As some of you may know, Jenny is Dave and Dorothy Gordon's granddaughter. Thanks also to our volunteers who reorganised the fencing to suit the new panels.

WORKING BEES

What a transformation the working bees make, getting through more mowing, mulching, fencing, planting, and tidying up in one visit than we can cope with in a year.

Earlier this year we were visited by bands of helpers from Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Caboolture and Maroochy, and Caboolture has just returned for a four-day stint.

More details on the earlier bees in our winter newsletter.

Anyone wishing to assist us with future working bees is invited to contact us.
