(WITH THE HOPE THAT WE NEVER HAVE TO USE IT)

Over the past few years, the Wallum Action Group has used the profits from it’s Community Nursery to assist so many worthwhile causes within the community and as a follow on from donating a number of defibrillators in 2017 to various groups, another of these was handed over to the Bribie Respite centre recently.

When accepting the defibrillator from Wallum Action Group volunteers, Respite Centre representative Joanne Allison-Schouw said that this was an item that the centre had been wanting for quite some time and, whilst it was so good to finally have one on hand, she hoped that it never had to be put to use.

On hand to observe the presentation was an unfamiliar face at the nursery and this belonged to a young man who is assisting the other volunteers for three weeks as part of an overseas work experience initiative by his school at Alphen aan den Rijn in South West Holland. Eighteen-year-old Jeroen van Velsen explained that, from when he was little, he has been interested in nature and the animals that he saw on the Discovery Channel and coming to Australia is like a dream come true.

‘It is a really wonderful opportunity for me to expand my cultural horizons and to come in contact with the fascinating animals and the wondrous nature here,’ he said. The Wallum Action Group Community Nursery relies solely on the money raised from plant sales to continue the assistance that it provides within the community and this has included funding the purchase of diabetes pumps, wheelchairs and making a large donation to Camp Quality each year.

They have an absolutely amazing range of plants available and I would recommend a visit to the nursery which is right next to the Orchid House on First Avenue. Opening hours are from 8 am until 11 am each weekday and if anyone would like to enquire about becoming one of the volunteers who are responsible for the total operation of the nursery, 0407 699953 is the number to call.

AUSTRALIAN PIED OYSTERCATCHER – HAEMATOPUS LONGIROSTRIS

Tags: Wildlife. Australian. Birds. Queensland. Animals

By Marj Webber

Handsome black and white waders with bright red eyes, red bills and legs are commonly seen walking, feeding alone, in pairs or in small groups along the sandy beaches of Bribie Island and the Pumicestone Passage.

They are 42-51 cm in length and weigh between 400 and 780g. Their strong red bills are used to prize open molluscs, dig in the sand for worms and to catch insects. Young Oystercatchers have to be taught by their parents to open shells and obtain their food. Australian Pied Oystercatchers are beach-nesting birds and breed usually between August and January along our shores and beaches all around Australia.

Pairs remain together for many years but will change partners. Nests are mere scrapes in the sand just above the high tide mark. Female Oystercatchers incubate the 2-3 brownish speckled eggs which hatch in about 28-32 days. The young, when hatched, are tiny, brown, striped chicks which leave the nest within a few days. Adult oystercatchers will defend their nests by pretending to be injured and luring the predator from the eggs or chicks.

Managing with one foot.

They will sometimes dive bomb from the air. During the 42-48 days before the chicks can fly they face many perils. To protect themselves when danger threatens they will often hide in grass or foliage on the beach until it becomes safe again. As the nests are out in the open on sandy beaches they are very vulnerable to predators such as raptors, off-leash dogs and cats. Nests are very hard to spot and it is easy to step on them while walking on the beach.

If the parents become too disturbed they will often abandon the nests with the loss of eggs or babies. People using the beach on horses and in 4WD vehicles are a huge threat to beach-nesting birds. There are five species of beach-nesting birds in Australia four of which are found on Bribie Island.

Pied Oystercatchers, Beach Stone-curlews, and Red-capped Plovers breed on our beaches while Sooty Oystercatchers are not common but can sometimes be seen from the roost at Banksia Beach or on the beach near Buckley’s Hole. Beach-nesting birds have a very poor breeding success because of the popularity of our beaches. In Victoria, Birds Australia has a programme in place to save the Hooded Plover which is a beach-nester and an endangered species but not found on Bribie Island.

Small group

Australian Pied Oystercatchers are not migratory waders but are locally nomadic. They are territorial and claim a strip of beach of about 200 m and will move if need be. Their call is high pitched and sounds a little like a squeaky toy. I sometimes hear them calling as they fly over during the night. Conservation status – federally secure but vulnerable in NSW.

I suppose that the question that automatically comes to mind because of the above heading is, “What makes a kilt waggle?” and, for anyone who doesn’t know the answer (all of us), I would suggest going along to the Bribie Island Recreation Hall on June 2nd at 1.30 pm when that popular group of entertainers, the Bribie Gleemen, will be holding one of the ten concerts that they are scheduled to perform this year.

The concert has been named “The Waggle of the Kilt” and naturally will be an afternoon of songs with a strong Scottish influence. Bribie Gleemen Publicity Officer John Gaffy said that to create a true Scottish theme, there will be a piper accompanying many of the afternoon’s ‘Kilt Waggling’ songs and he expects that as usual, the concert will be very well attended. John also told me that the Bribie Gleemen are always happy to welcome new members to the group.

‘We would really like to see some new faces coming along, especially a few younger ones,’ said John.

‘Anyone who is interested should give me a call on 3405 1837,’ he added. The Bribie Gleemen have a longstanding reputation for putting on great entertainment so I would strongly suggest that if you enjoy listening to the music of Scotland, you get along to “The Waggle of the Kilt” on June 2nd at the Recreation Hall.

By the way, if anyone thinks that a front row seat at the concert might give them the chance to solve an age-old mystery, forget it, the Gleemen won’t be wearing kilts.

With Nikita Chee

Hello Bribie-ites, You know that saying that goes something like, “One day I will…”. Or, “One day soon I’ll…”. Or just simple, “One day…”. What’s with that? Why do we say One Day? Whatever, that One Day, is about, it must be something we really want to do, otherwise, we wouldn’t say it. But why put it off? It’s kinda like that assignment for uni I should be working on, “One day soon I will get to analysing that advertisement through semiotics which is promoting hegemony and Western ideology…”.

Hmmm, but Pinterest is so much more fun! Anyway, what I’m thinking is that why can’t today be the day? Why can’t you be the first one on the dancefloor? Why can’t I start that new hobby I’ve been thinking about doing, today? We are such a cautious society. Always watching what other people are doing, waiting for them to make the first move before we make ours. Putting this or that off to retirement. Waiting for someone to introduce us first before we say hello.

Why are we so afraid and introverted? On the other hand, I realise that wisdom and patience are important life skills that carry through our decision making. And that impulsiveness can be a major character default. But there’s a difference between appropriate reservation and self-centeredness.

Unfortunately, people in leadership whether that be through official positions or in informal social situations (because there are always leaders at parties – you know the ones), cop a lot of flak for their outgoing-ness. I believe the reason for this being that their decisions end up affecting the lives of others in some manner, but, well, someone’s got to make those decisions right? We should give them more credit for taking steps to create life and maintain protection over groups of people and just make something happen really, especially if they do it with a sincere heart.

I suppose what I am getting at is that everyone has something to offer to the world. It might be your personality, your talent, your knowledge, skill or even just your presence. Don’t wait for someone else to share themselves first though, YOU do it. And watch the chain reaction of everyone else coming alive and the party starts! It is actually a brave and sacrificial thing to give of yourself first, and yes, it can make you feel vulnerable or even embarrassed, but you have to block that out and go for it!

You’ll begin to grow as a person and invite new people into your life. I mean, who knows where that could lead for you! I’m excited 😀 Go for it, babe. Go make LIFE! x

A VERY SPECIAL BOX

‘I think that including the seven that Pia is taking today, it’s about sixty now,’ said Kim Bowers from the Bribie Island and District Woodcrafters Association when I asked him about how many of the special Remembrance Boxes had been donated to the Advanced Breast Cancer Group by the Woodies.

Featured Image(above): Pia Hirsh (C) admiring the donated boxes with June Jeffries and Kim Bowers from the Woodcrafters Association

The boxes are designed to be used by women with terminal breast cancer to fill with their favourite items as keepsakes for their families and the provision of the boxes is only a very small part of the wonderful support that the Advanced Breast Cancer Support Group is able to offer through the state. Now in it’s twentieth year, the group is funded by Queensland Health and as well as facilitating weekly support meetings which give women the opportunity to talk about their situation with others who are facing the same outcome, there are workshops where families are able to discuss their difficulties and talk about how they are dealing with what’s ahead.

Organisation representative Pia Hirsch told me that anyone wanting to join can do so by phone or by going to the website which is www.abcg.org.au and following the instructions. She said that the website provides a very good description of the organisation and also has a link to an informative video.

If anyone would like further information, they can also contact either Mary O’Brien or Pia by calling 07 3217 2998. The donation of the latest seven boxes to the Advanced Breast Cancer Support Group is only one example of the generosity of the members of the Woodcrafters Association and from what I have seen personally, all the members are dedicated to not only creating some beautifully crafted items but also to helping others in the community.

Anyone who would like to find out about joining the Woodies should pay them a visit at their workshop which is situated at the rear of the Bribie Island Community Arts Centre on Sunderland Drive in Banksia Beach.

Cancer Council Queensland’s Biggest Morning Tea Fundraiser

THOUSANDS PUT THE KETTLE ON FOR AUSTRALIA’S BIGGEST MORNING TEA

This month thousands of Queenslanders will gather in living rooms, cafes, workplaces and community halls to pour a cup of tea for a special cause! Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, one of Cancer Council Queensland’s signature events, raises funds to support more than 27,000 Queenslanders diagnosed with cancer annually.

This May the campaign will celebrate 25 years of making a difference. Cancer Council Queensland CEO Ms Chris McMillan called on locals to register and host a morning tea to give hope for a cancer-free future. “Every cuppa poured and dollar raised enables Cancer Council to continue investing in lifesaving cancer research, prevention, advocacy and support programs,” Ms McMillan said.

“One Queenslander is diagnosed with cancer every 20 minutes – the length of an average morning tea break. “Dedicate your tea-time to making a difference this year so that patients and their families can be supported every minute, every hour, every day.

“Hosting a morning tea is easy. Simply gather your closest friends and family, set a date, raise funds, and enjoy a cuppa together.” In 2018, the official day to host a morning tea is Thursday, May 24, however, anyone can host at any time in May or June. Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the largest and most successful event of its kind in Australia.

Over the past 25 years, more than $31.2 million has been raised for Cancer Council Queensland by like-minded individuals pouring a cuppa for the cause. Register to host an event at biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 65 65 85 to receive a free morning tea host kit.

Okay, so after a bit of confusion about what the correct name is, I think that we are now aware that what was once called The Golden Age Centre is now The Bribie Activity Centre or, to use the full title, Bribie District All Age Social Activities Inc. and as I have found out, the range of activities that take place at the centre is absolutely amazing. It seems to me that each day is full up but apparently appearances are deceiving and Sylvia Deakins was quick to set me straight.

Featured Image(above): Square Dancing

‘As well as there being opportunities for more activities at the centre, some of the numbers in the current groups are diminishing,’ said Sylvia. ‘All the groups who use the centre are ready to welcome new members otherwise if their numbers get too low, they might have to close and that would be a shame,’ she said.

There are activities at the centre each day and on some days, up to three different groups make use of the facilities. As well as carpet bowls (3410 7720), clogging (0407 651 770), square dancing (3408 3452), table tennis (3408 3846) and Zumba (0418 431 421), other activities include cued ballroom dancing (3408 2279), old-time and new vogue dance (0414 320 515), social dance (0403 314 773), advanced table tennis (3408 3884), and country music (0403 481 943). I almost forgot, there is hoy (0408 060 849) and a session that is called U Can Dance (0408 182 254) as well as dance practice (3408 4009).

This well-equipped centre which is situated in Arcadia Avenue at Woorim on what is referred to as State Trustee land was built many years ago with funds that were raised by the Lions Club of Bribie Island.

Country Music, Carpet Bowls

Until last year, it was essentially meant to be used by people aged from fifty years through to ninety but, due to having recognised a change in the local demographics and the added requirement for appropriate facilities, the organisation has made the centre available to all ages. Anyone who would like to find out more about the centre should call either Sylvia Deakins on 3408 3452 or Janice Brown on 0403 481 943 for details.

PET CARE – DOG PARKS – PART 2

What should the other owners do? The dogs that are in the park like to gather at the gate to see who is coming in and if your dog is new then it’s a good idea for the owners to move their dogs away from the gate to allow you and your dog space to enter.

What to do if a problem arises? Grab your dog and leave. Do not wait to see what may happen or to see if things will settle. If your dog is acting scared and running away from a dog or trying to get to you – leave. The owner/s of the dog/s that are the chasers etc then they should grab their dogs and put them on a lead and walk out. Otherwise, they are allowing their dogs to act inappropriately. This only reinforces their behaviour. The nervous dog will and can be more stressed if no action is taken.

Most important neither dog should ever be punished for their behaviours as it is normal pack mentality. It is better and safer to remove them. Most times these parks are wonderful experiences and nothing ever happens but unfortunately sometimes it can go wrong and dogs have been attacked in these environments and some even needing veterinary attention.

PETS AS A PATHWAY TO SOCIAL CAPITAL

People and dogs are profoundly social beings. What makes us happy and healthy? What is “capital” to a social being? Plain, simple, social interaction! Pets give it to us and we give it back. Over 70% of Australian households have a pet. But pets are also a bridge to further social contact; they are icebreakers and overcome any foolish inhibitions we have towards interacting with other people.

For instance, pet ownership is an ideal way for migrants to integrate into any Australian community. Most people know my dog’s name but much fewer know mine. The level of concern people show for the welfare of pets is truly commendable.

Sometimes, I suspect, it is a guise for expressing welfare concerns for their human neighbours too. That is why clever town planning includes parks, enticing walks and dog off lead beaches and facilities.

Reassuring concerned residents – Bongaree Jetty

Tags: Bongaree. Bribie Island. Local news. Blog

KEEPING IN TOUCH

Following an instance in which a number of local residents expressed their concern about the work that is currently being carried out on the Bongaree jetty, Division One Councillor Brooke Savige demonstrated her dedication to keeping in touch with her community by recently giving community members the opportunity to discuss those concerns during a public meeting at the work site recently.

Whilst the meeting was only attended by a few people, Councillor Savige and representatives from the Council Works Department were able to allay concerns regarding the type of material being used for the decking and they also explained why the rejuvenation was necessary. ‘As hardwood is no longer a sustainable resource and is subject to contamination in a marine environment, it was regarded as a much more viable to use the composite fibre product,’ said the Councillor.

Featured Image(above): The new composite fibre decking on the jetty will not rot or corrode

‘This will minimise the necessity for maintenance and more downtime on the jetty,’ she told those who attended. When I spoke to a Council engineer about the product being used, he explained that as well as the composite fibre not being subject to either rotting or corrosion, it also has a non-slip component which will mean that there is less chance of someone falling whilst walking on it.

One of the residents who came to the meeting made the comment that he would like to see the jetty painted in nice bright colours instead of the proposed grey that will be applied by the current contractor. He also remarked that an archway at the entrance would be a good way to finish the project off and suggested that the arch could feature a series of murals depicting the history of Bongaree.

In reply to these comments, Councillor Savige said that if after more discussion with the community, these ideas seemed popular, she would work toward achieving the proposed changes. ‘I am more than happy to help drive the ideas to completion,’ she said. The Councillor went on to point out that whilst there was sometimes the need to make certain changes to structures such as the jetty, it does not detract from their iconic nature.

The interested community members who attended were told that the revised completion date for the work on the jetty is May 23rd and the reason for the extra time has been the inclement weather.

Community Choir – The Sandstone Point Carols

YOUR CHANCE TO SING

As a true community focused event, the Sandstone Point Carols has become a very popular event in the lead up to Christmas and with the involvement of the Sandstone Point Lions, the Sandstone Point Community Association and the Sandstone Community Church continues to grow from year to year.

Now in the eleventh year, the Carols were commenced after the Sandstone point Community Association identified the need to foster the combining of all in the local community, not just from Sandstone Point but those from Bribie Island, Ningi and the other nearby areas, to celebrate the spirit of Christmas.

In order to ensure that the Carols continues to grow as a community event, the organisers have decided to put together a “Community Choir” and are putting the call out for those who are enthusiastic and have a bit of singing ability to make contact.

The Choir is open to all age groups and anyone who is interested should give Rajshree Hellyer a call on 0435 420 457.

This year, the Sandstone Point Community Carols will be held on December 8th with free entertainment beginning at 4.30 pm and the Carols scheduled to commence at 6.30 pm.

The Bribie Island Boating Club’s Classic Boat Regatta

Tags: Boating Club. Bribie Island. Events. Brisbane. Queensland. Regatta.

TWENTY CLASSIC YEARS

On the weekend of May 19th and 20th, our beautiful island will become host to classic boating enthusiasts from near and far when they arrive here for what is regarded as one of the premier events on the country’s boating calendar, the Bribie Island Boating Club’s Classic Boat Regatta.

The regatta has earned the reputation of being a really well-organised event which has always been well attended in previous years and Bribie Island Boating Club CEO Doug Wilson is expecting the weekend to be even better than in the past. ‘The 2018 Regatta marks twenty years that the event has been held and going on the registrations that I have received so far, there will be more boats than ever before and this will include some large cruisers,’ said Doug.

Featured Image(above): The fleet will assemble in Pumicestone Passage

‘As well as the increased number of boats, there will be added attractions in attendance at the public part of the weekend on the Sunday,’ he told me. Whilst the Classic Boat Regatta actually gets underway on Saturday morning, as in previous years, those participating will get together on Friday evening at the Bribie Island Hotel when they will receive their “Showbags” containing all the necessary details of the weekend’s proceedings.

Boats will cruise the canals on Sunday from 9 am

As well as the required information, the bags will contain other “goodies” which are a part of the generous sponsorship package provided by Nautilus Marine Insurance who have supported the event for many years and also provide the participation plaques that are presented for each boat. After a BBQ breakfast at the Spinnaker Sound Marina which is provided by the local Vietnam Veterans Association, the boats will launch and assemble in Pumicestone Passage before a cruise up to Toorbul where the Boating Club will provide all concerned with a sumptuous lunch on the beach.

Lined up at Sylvan Beach for the public to inspect

‘We are able to put on the lunch because of the generous funding by Moreton Bay Regional Council Division One Councillor Brooke Savige,’ Doug explained. As well as paying for the lunch, this funding also goes a long way to helping us with the costs of organisation and promotion,’ he added. Doug also said that Moreton Bay Regional Tourism has become a sponsor for the event. In the afternoon, the fleet will proceed back to the Pacific Harbour Marina where afternoon tea will be provided through the courtesy of the Vietnam Veterans Association. From approximately 3.30 pm until 5 pm, members of the public will be given the opportunity to view the boats whilst they are berthed at the Marina.

Overnight berthing facilities at the Pacific Harbour Star Marina are provided free of charge by the marina and, for those boat owners who wish to extend their stay, berthing is charged at a nominal rate. On Saturday evening, the Bribie Island Hotel will be the venue for the annual Regatta Dinner where awards will be presented along with participants having the chance to catch up with old friends. Sunday activities will begin with some of the boats cruising around the Dux Creek section of the Pacific Harbour canals before the entire fleet assembles at Sylvan Beach by 11 am, some on the beach and of course the larger vessels will be moored offshore.

The public will be able to once again view the boats as well as enjoy the range of activities that will be there. Entertainment will be provided by the very popular Mullet Gut String Band, the Vietnam Veterans will be operating their food stall, boating enthusiasts will be able to inspect the products sold by Boatcraft Pacific who will have their goods on display and there will be an ice cream vendor in attendance.

There will be some larger cruisers in the Regatta

Various boating activities will take place from 12.15 pm until the Grand Parade at 2 pm and these will include a classic sail event, a demonstration by the Bribie Island Mahalo Outrigger Canoe Club along with Dragons Abreast and a Bribie Island Surf Club boat, a Classic motorboat event and a rowing boat race.

The Sunday events have been very well attended by the public each year and when I was fortunate enough to be there in 2017, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed being able to chat with some of the boat owners and inspect the beautifully constructed vessels, both large and small. I would highly recommend a visit to Sylvan Beach on Sunday, May 20th for a chance to enjoy the activities associated with the celebration of the twentieth Bribie Classic Boat Regatta.

Anyone who would like more information about the Bribie Classic Boat Regatta should call the Bribie Island Boat Club on 0490 471 930.
