great effort by all the gardeners and it is truly<br />

welcomed by many in the wider <strong>Windellama</strong><br />

<strong>Community</strong>.<br />

Thieves in the area<br />

Keep on the look out for 2 utes (1 red, 1<br />

cream) that aren't supposed to be on your road<br />

or cars with trailers. Trailer number plates are<br />

usually useless so grab the car plates if you<br />

can. These ute owners are thought to be from<br />

Goulburn area, they drive onto your property,<br />

but turn around if they see that someone is<br />

home.<br />

Goulburn Mulwaree Council has launched a<br />

facebook page to keep residents up to date in<br />

real time. They will be posting all notices, news<br />

and happenings as they happen so that<br />

everyone gets information and has a chance to<br />

respond with feedback. Council is always<br />

interested in community feedback and<br />

consultation so we will be offering as much<br />

information as possible via facebook in addition<br />

to traditional media and mail notifications.<br />

GOULBURN WORKERS CLUB<br />

ANNUAL ART PRIZE<br />

EXHIBITION & SALE OF ART<br />

The Goulburn and District Art Society and<br />

Goulburn Workers Club are holding the annual<br />

art prize at the Goulburn Workers Club in late<br />

September.<br />

The opening night is at 6.30pm Thursday 26th<br />

September and the exhibition is open 10am –<br />

4pm on Friday 27th to Sunday 29th<br />

September.<br />

The Annual Art Prize always attracts hundreds<br />

of entries from artists locally and elsewhere in<br />

the state. Each year there are a large number<br />

of high quality works all of which are for sale. It<br />

is an ideal exhibition to visit to not only view art<br />

works but also to buy works for your home, for<br />

gifts and for your work place.<br />

The opening night is a good social occasion<br />

where visitors can view the art, enjoy the<br />

delightful nibbles and a wine all for only a $5<br />

entry fee. It is not essential to let the art<br />

society know you are coming to the opening<br />

night but it helps for catering if you RSVP by<br />

phoning Lesley: 0417 240 595 or Helen: 4829<br />

2300.<br />

A raffle with an art-work prize will raise funds<br />

for The Crescent School, Goulburn.<br />

<strong>WINDELLAMA</strong> PROGRESS ASSOC. HALL Inc.<br />

It has been a relatively quiet month since the last report. The Garden Group hosted their annual<br />

Cancer Day at the hall and a great day was had by all. A wonderful sum of money was raised and<br />

presented to the local Can Assist group again this year.<br />

The Progress Association lodged an objection to the proposal by Ardmore Park Quarry to<br />

transport its products via our local roads. Submissions closed on August 9th and we are awaiting<br />

the decision to be made by the Department of Planning. Goulburn Mulwaree Council voted by a<br />

majority of 7 to 1 to support the resident’s objections and lodged an objection to the proposal. It is<br />

now just a waiting game. At our most recent meeting, a vote of thanks was moved (and carried<br />

unanimously) in respect to the help given to us by the Bungonia Progress Association in preparing<br />

our submission. Their assistance was invaluable.<br />

We have received our recurrent funding of $2,000 from Council. We have used this money to<br />

purchase a new gas stove for the kitchen and the volunteers who have been using it for the<br />

various functions we have catered are most impressed. We wish to thank Council for this help<br />

which is very much appreciated.<br />

Our 20th anniversary Field Day is fast approaching and plans are well in hand. We are looking<br />

forward to a bigger and better day this year and hope the community will assist again with<br />

preparations and help on the day, as it always has over the past twenty years.<br />

The committee of <strong>Windellama</strong> Progress Association meets on the third Monday of each month at<br />

2 p.m. at the hall. Members of the community are most welcome to join us.<br />

Next meeting will be held on Monday 16th September.<br />

<strong>Windellama</strong> SES First Aid & CFR<br />

August so far has been rather quiet on the CFR front, very pleasing to our people. October will<br />

see the next training for our new recruits for the Unit, God bless 'em. We had to have our<br />

recertification for Resuscitation last Monday night. I am sure that some of you out there would like<br />

to learn more in this type of activity, so come and join our "team".<br />

Our new premise is still in the final stages of being finished, a few minor details still being rectified.<br />

Some tiling has been done, with the ablutions block being put in. Painting of that is still to be done.<br />

Nerriga Gardeners<br />

Thank you Robyn & Justin for your hospitality.<br />

We had a good day, even though one member<br />

may be taking on full time work soon & we will<br />

miss her. So many camellias looking good!<br />

On Wednesday 18th September at 10am we will<br />

be having a working bee at Nerriga Hall where we<br />

will hopefully create a garden. Please being any<br />

plants that you may think grow with absolutely<br />

minimal care and the appropriate tools.<br />

Please bring a plate to share for lunch. All are<br />

welcome. For further info just ring Kay Hamer<br />

4845 9021 or Di Roberts 4844 5344.<br />

Willowglen Gardeners<br />

http://www.whispersfromwillowglen.blogspot.com<br />

We met on a very cold and windy day at Pam<br />

Hibbert's place for a working bee in her garden.<br />

We had a good turn up and after a short<br />

meeting we were pruning protea bushes,<br />

digging the vegie garden and weeding around<br />

the steps.<br />

We were all rugged up against the sleet, but<br />

the sun was trying to shine. Pam had the<br />

house nice and warm and we came in for a<br />

cuppa and something to eat to sustain us<br />

against the weather.<br />

The garden is very large and although we<br />

didn't get to put everything right, we made a<br />

dent in it and I'm sure Pam was pleased with<br />

the effort and overall achievement. I know<br />

there were quite a lot of barrow loads of weeds<br />

and pruning cuttings stacked up at the end.<br />

Many thanks to all the workers who attended<br />

on a very gusty day.<br />

Our next Garden Club is at Riversdale on<br />

3rd September. 1 Maud Street, Goulburn.<br />

Morning tea is available at Riversdale @ $5 –<br />

Devonshire Teas, 1 scone tea or coffee, or<br />

Cake or slice, tea or coffee $6.<br />

Tours also available – Garden tour $4,<br />

House tour $4.<br />

The CanAssist Fundraiser<br />

Our club is being congratulated on the great<br />

day we had, very successful money wise, but<br />

it was not us alone. We had lots of donations<br />

of a variety of cakes, the meat & bread rolls<br />

were donated also.<br />

To the people who came and supported us<br />

and gave a helping hand, spending money on<br />

our stall, chocolate wheel, food and raffle, a<br />

big thank you.<br />

Thanks also to <strong>Windellama</strong> Progress for the<br />

use of the hall on the day.<br />

Graeme Welsh did a wonderful job with the<br />

cake auction, awarding trophies for the highest<br />

bidder, the person who baked that cake, and<br />

the best decorated; a novel idea and we thank<br />

him.<br />

We raised over $3,000 and our club added to<br />

this to give CanAssist a cheque for $3,500.<br />

<strong>Windellama</strong> Landcare<br />

My, how time flies when you are hibernating!<br />

<strong>Windellama</strong> Landcare is still in a state of<br />

hibernation for another month – but we’ve been<br />

dreaming up new plans for work parties: so,<br />

when the ground dries out a little, we will be<br />

finishing the work at the Chain of ponds (have<br />

you seen the new sign?) with a new fence on<br />

the western side of the Ponds ….zzzzzzzz<br />

Contributions wanted<br />

If you have something you wish to share with<br />

the community which is general in nature, let<br />

us know at:<br />

newswindellama@gmail.com<br />

Or just telephone the editors<br />

The <strong>Windellama</strong> Garden Club held the Annual<br />

Cancer Day Appeal, all proceeds going to<br />

Can Assist, the Goulburn branch, all monies<br />

raised go to local people of Goulburn and<br />

district. Volunteers run that organisation, so<br />

your money is not wasted on administration.<br />

I would like to, on behalf of our members,<br />

thank those who donated food and all other<br />

items most sincerely. I am reluctant to thank<br />

people individually, but with one exception, and<br />

that is Judy Yates, who helped us out in the<br />

food servery, this is community spirit at it's<br />

best.<br />

This happened to be one of our most profitable<br />

days so far.<br />

A prickly problem<br />

Prickly pear Opuntia spp is the weed of the<br />

month for August. The common prickly pear -<br />

Opuntia stricta is pictured here as one of the<br />

class 4 noxious weed species in Goulburn<br />

Mulwaree Council. There are many different<br />

varieties of prickly pear and it can be<br />

challenging to tell them apart.<br />

Common prickly pear is an erect perennial<br />

shrub to 1.5 metres. It has 6 cm wide yellow<br />

flowers from late spring to summer and purple<br />

fruit when it’s ripe. This weed also has<br />

distinguishing clusters of small sharp bristles<br />

in depressions on the fleshy segments and<br />

fruit.<br />

All prickly pear species can spread quickly and<br />

take over large areas of land. Management is<br />

difficult and requires an integration of<br />

biological control options, manual removal<br />

and/or herbicide application. We are lucky in<br />

Goulburn to not have any known infestations<br />

and let’s keep it that way. Council asks that<br />

you dispose of prickly pear appropriately as<br />

segments can survive for several years and<br />

then take root again.<br />

The problem with prickly pear is its<br />

competitiveness with pasture and native<br />

vegetation as it limits the growth of small<br />

shrubs and groundcover species. The plant’s<br />

sharp spines or barbs can cause injury to<br />

stock and native animals, contaminate wool<br />

and hides, reduce or prevent grazing activities<br />

and reduce overall productivity.<br />

Large stands of prickly pear also provide<br />

harbour for pest animals, such as foxes and<br />

rabbits and, due to their spiny nature, can limit<br />

access for stock mustering and recreational<br />

activities.<br />

For more information on identifying and<br />

controlling common prickly pear get a copy of<br />

our Weed of the Month<br />

flier from the Civic Centre<br />

foyer, Goulburn Mulwaree<br />

Teaching Compassion and<br />

Empathy towards Animals<br />

With a huge Thank You to Voiceless who<br />

provided a grant to Peanuts Funny Farm to run<br />

camps for children and young people who have<br />

experienced abuse in the hope that we can<br />

teach them compassion and empathy towards<br />

animals.<br />

Peanuts Funny Farm is working with a number<br />

of different originations to help achieve this.<br />

The camps are aimed to be a fun educational<br />

experience that is focused on caring for<br />

animals and then the children will be able to<br />

use these skills with their peers and everyday<br />

life.<br />

The camps address alternative tasty healthy<br />

meals and snacks. All campers complete an<br />

evaluation form at the end of the camp and<br />

there has only been great feedback from the<br />

children and carers Some of the comments<br />

from the children have been, “I loved meeting<br />

the animals face to face” to “it was really great<br />

to hear the animals story.”<br />

The children of one camp were very excited<br />

and lucky to witness a training exercise from<br />

the <strong>Windellama</strong> Rural Fire Service and heard<br />

about a copy of animal rescue stories from<br />

bush fires.<br />

Thanks to Voiceless the children from Rosie’s<br />

were very lucky to be able to participate in the<br />

re-homing of 2 goats, a mother and daughter.<br />

Nelly 9 years old and Kioloa 2 years old. This<br />

gave a great feeling and accomplishment for<br />

the children to be a part of this process.<br />

Peanuts has been very lucky to have great<br />

volunteers that have spent hours cooking<br />

great food, building safe animal enclosures to<br />

playing games and teaching the children how<br />

to be safe around the animals and to enjoy<br />

what they have to offer to humans with their<br />

compassionate and affectionate ways.<br />

Peanuts would like to say a special thanks to<br />

Mick from Mick’s Multi Trades for the building<br />

of Nelly’s and Kioloa’s new enclosure and his<br />

great patience in talking to the children and<br />

explaining how he supports the animals at<br />

Peanuts and how it helps them.<br />

The camps have been a complete success.<br />

We are so grateful that Voiceless provided<br />

Peanuts with this opportunity and we look<br />

forward to further developing the partnership<br />

between other originations to educate as many<br />

as we can by Teaching Compassion and<br />

Empathy towards Animals.<br />

What’s Happening in Nerriga<br />

President’s Report 2012-2013<br />

Members of the Association have achieved a great success this year with every effort being made to complete<br />

the Supper room of the Hall. This is a brief snapshot of the year’s happenings:<br />

1: Over the year the stove annex was completed, the walls sealed and floor tiled; and we purchased the 6<br />

Burner Waldorf Stove. This has now been converted from town gas to LPG, installed and connected to the<br />

gas. It is now ready to be trialled and hopefully we can put it to good use for the Bargains in the Bush this<br />

coming September.<br />

2: A meeting approved the purchase of stainless steel sinks and benches in accordance our plans and the<br />

relevant guidelines for food premises. The flat packs were collected from Narellan and we put them<br />

together ready for installation by the plumber. Funds for the purchase of these items were donated by the<br />

Bendigo Braidwood <strong>Community</strong> Bank for which we are extremely grateful.<br />

3: The walls to the Supper room were insulated and lined and painted, ready for the plumber to install the<br />

hot water service, the sinks and the benches The plumbing work has been done. All that needs to be done<br />

now is put the tiles on top of the benches; re-paint the floor, and complete final part of the 4th wall with the<br />

door outside to the future deck.<br />

4: We catered for the Sassafras Endurance Ride in November, which was very successful, and look<br />

forward to doing it again this year. And we even had an early visit from Santa Clause.<br />

5: NPSA was asked to cater the Nerriga District Riders Club’s first major ride which was a fundraiser for the<br />

Cancer Council. As a result of their cake stall and coffee and cake bar NPSA donated $500.00 to the<br />

Cancer Council.<br />

6: Bargains in the Bush was held on the October long weekend at the Hall; with 12 stalls and the NPSA<br />

Cake Stall and Supper room Café the day was a great success; as were the many cake stalls throughout<br />

the year.<br />

After everyone’s stalwart support over the year, I would like to thank those who have constantly helped<br />

with baking, building and bartering. Thank you to all who donated funds or made purchases at our various<br />

NPSA events all of which helps us continue to progress Nerriga<br />

Goulburn Evening Penny Post (NSW : 1881<br />

-1940), Thursday 5 December 1907, page 2<br />

GOULBURN POLICE COURT.<br />

NO JURISDICTION<br />

Charlotte Croker summoned George Roberts<br />

and charged him with maliciously destroying a<br />

fence by burning it, the injury done amounting<br />

to £5.<br />

Mr. Johnson appeared for the complainant and<br />

Mr. Meyer for the defendant, who pleaded not<br />

guilty.<br />

Charlotte Croker, a widow, residing at<br />

Pleasant Hills, <strong>Windellama</strong>, deposed that the<br />

property at Pleasant Hills was part of her late<br />

husband's property; defendant was a<br />

neighbour of hers; the fencing in question,<br />

which consisted of the usual six wires, posts,<br />

and droppers, was erected by her son, John<br />

Croker; the fence wag 86 yards; there would<br />

be about 17 or 19 posts and two droppers to<br />

each panel; a coil of wire was used; on the<br />

23rd of October witness watched the fence and<br />

saw defendant first pull the fence down, pack it<br />

in a heap, and destroy it; the wire was there<br />

now, and was useless for any purpose; it<br />

occurred about 10 or 12 o'clock at night.<br />

To Mr. Meyer: Her house was about half a mile<br />

away; she was on a hill about 50 yards away<br />

when she saw defendant; there was no<br />

agreement with defendant to erect a fence; the<br />

fence in question was erected after a fire three<br />

years ago.<br />

Mr. Meyer: Was not the old fence 50 yards<br />

further away from the creek than the one<br />

erected afterwards? Mr. Johnson objected to<br />

the form of question. It did not matter, he said,<br />

whether the fence was on defendant's property<br />

or not. The fact was that defendant had not<br />

only removed the fence, but destroyed it.<br />

Mr. Meyer said in the complaint his client was<br />

charged with maliciously burning the fence. If<br />

he thought he had a right to do it there could<br />

be no malice.<br />

Witness (continuing), to Mr. Meyer: There had<br />

never been any quarrel with defendant until he<br />

came into possession; there was no dispute<br />

between defendant and her about the land; the<br />

handwriting on the letter produced was hers;<br />

the posts and droppers were of the ordinary<br />

kind; the portion of wood produced was not<br />

used in the fence; defendant put up a fence<br />

which was not as good as the one she had<br />

erected.<br />

Mr. Johnson said he desired, rather than<br />

waste the time of the court, to know the<br />

Bench's opinion on the point raised by Mr.<br />

Meyer. There was no doubt whatever that<br />

defendant claimed he had a right to take this<br />

fence down. That was admitted, but the right<br />

to take the fence down did not give him the<br />

right to burn it.<br />

The P.M.: The word malice comes in. If a man<br />

thinks he has a right there is no malice.<br />

The Bench held the court had no jurisdiction<br />

GOULBURN HERALD<br />

MONDAY 7 DECEMBER, 1891, PAGE 2:<br />

<strong>THE</strong> SPA, <strong>WINDELLAMA</strong><br />

The tender for constructing the Spa and<br />

Jessop dam in the Nadgigomar Creek has<br />

been let and the constructor expects to have<br />

his plant on the ground in three weeks from<br />

date. The Jessop Company are cutting a new<br />

tail race at Black Springs. It is expected that a<br />

general start will be made after the Christmas<br />

holidays.<br />

A Melbourne syndicate have arranged with<br />

Messrs. Franks, Williams, Tennant and party to<br />

put up pumping machinery to work 240 acres<br />

of ground on Spring Creek adjoining the Spa.<br />

And if the Spa, the Jessop, and Whael Marion<br />

(the name of the new company just forming) all<br />

get to work after New Year, there should be<br />

any quantity of work to be had for good<br />

working men.<br />

The battery at Mountary over near Nerriga is in<br />

full swing on stone from the Welcome Reef and<br />

stone from a reef discovered some time back<br />

by Mr. T. Gregory and party. Both tables are<br />

looking well so far, and the owners expect to<br />

have a payable clean up.<br />

Messrs. Hutton and Ward are still driving on<br />

the 150 foot level to cut the old Manton Reef,<br />

and will, I hear, star to erect a whip next week.<br />

It is to be hoped this grand old reef will soon be<br />

rewarded by striking her as good as she was in<br />

olden days. December 2.<br />

GOULBURN EVENING PENNY POST<br />

TUESDAY 27 SEPTEMBER, 1892. PAGE 2<br />

<strong>THE</strong> NADGIGOMAR DAM WRECKED<br />

News reached Goulburn on Sunday that the<br />

large dam thrown across the Nadgigomar<br />

Creek, near Bungonia, by the Spa Gold-mining<br />

Company had been washed away early that<br />

morning as a result of the storm on Friday<br />

night.<br />

Some of the principal shareholders in the<br />

company residing in the city received a<br />

telegram from the engineer in charge of the<br />

works on Saturday afternoon, saying that there<br />

was then 30 feet of in the dam and that he<br />

expected to see it full before nightfall.<br />

Everything was reported to be safe and in<br />

excellent condition and the shareholders were<br />

naturally jubilant over this news. The dam had<br />

not long been completed and the shareholders<br />

were anxiously looking forward to the downfall<br />

of rain which would fill it, as operations could<br />

not be commenced until this had taken place.<br />

Their expectations, were however, scattered to<br />

the winds by receipt of the news that the whole<br />

dam had given way under the force of the<br />

water. This information was subsequently<br />

confirmed by the arrival of one of the<br />

contractors who had come from the scene of<br />

the accident.<br />

The particulars to hand are meagre and the<br />

only supposition that can be given for the<br />

collapse is that the water loosened the earth<br />

around the getaway pipes, with which the dam<br />

is provided, and, once gaining an outlet, it<br />

carried everything before it.<br />

Considerable surprise is expressed at the<br />

failure of the dam, as no expense was spared<br />

in making it as secure as possible. The earth<br />

work thrown across the creek was about fifty<br />

feet high and was fully a chain (length of a<br />

cricket pitch) wide on the top.<br />

An immense body of water must have been<br />

thrown against the embankment and it is<br />

surmised that the suction naturally gravitating<br />

to the four get away pipes, the water loosened<br />

the earth around them. A breach about a chain<br />

and a half wide has been made right in the<br />

centre of the embankment.<br />

The total cost of the dam was over £7,000 and<br />

on a rough estimate it is thought that it will<br />

take between £1,000 and £2,000 to repair the<br />

damage. When full the dam would have<br />

backed up the water for four miles and a half.<br />

The washaway will delay the operations of the<br />

company for some time and it will probably<br />

throw back the other companies that are not in<br />

such a forward state as the Spa. Nearly<br />

everything at this mine was in readiness and a<br />

result of the work was being looked forward to<br />

by capitalists concerned in other works in the<br />

vicinity.<br />

More definite particulars of the damage done<br />

to the Nadgigomar dam are to hand. Mr.<br />

Jessop, manager of the company, informs us<br />

that the breech made in the embankment is in<br />

the line of the outlet pipe, which gave way<br />

before the pressure of water and thus caused<br />

the collapse.<br />

He states that the earthwork now standing is<br />

looking splendid and is as firm as a rock. It<br />

withstood the force of the water for several<br />

hours until it had flowed through the breech<br />

immediately above the outlet pipe. If the<br />

embankment had entirely collapsed nothing<br />

would have saved the camp in which the men<br />

were sleeping.<br />

On Monday Mr. Jessop held a short court of<br />

enquiry into the cause of the accident and he<br />

has forwarded the evidence to the directors of<br />

the company.<br />

Frederick Graham, watchman on the dam on<br />

the night of the washaway, states that all was<br />

right until about 3 a.m., when he heard a<br />

creeping in the stone facing of the<br />

embankment. He first thought it was the<br />

waves, but immediately afterwards he heard<br />

the water rushing through. He observed that<br />

the face of the dam was sinking, accompanied<br />

by a great rush of water, and he at once ran<br />

and gave the alarm to the camp.<br />

The men were quickly on the spot, but it was at<br />

once seen that nothing could be done. Graham<br />

had examined the dam for a leak just before<br />

the collapse had occurred, but could not find a<br />

sign of any in any part of the dam.<br />

Robert Spense, one of the foremen on the<br />

works, stated that up to the time that he left the<br />

dam, at about 1 o’clock on Sunday morning, he<br />

had been constantly looking for a leak but he<br />

did not observe the slightest trace of any.<br />

In his opinion the cause of the leak was the<br />

collapse of the outlet pipe. The enormous<br />

weight of the dam in addition to the 30 feet of<br />

water proved too much for the pipes. He had<br />

found one of the pipes which had been thrown<br />

up by the water, and the fracture showing in it<br />

proved it had been broken by the weight<br />

thrown against it.<br />

In his opinion the manner in which the<br />

embankment resisted the rush of water for<br />

over an hour showed conclusively there was<br />

not fault in the construction of the earthwork<br />

itself.<br />

Mr. J. A. Gegg, who was watching the dam<br />

carefully, as his store was in the line of the<br />

wash if the dam burst, went home perfectly<br />

satisfied on Saturday night at 7 o’clock that all<br />

was well.<br />

Mr. Algernon Coombs, an experienced man<br />

employed on the works gave it also as his<br />

opinion that the collapse of the outlet pipe was<br />

the cause of the damage. He estimated that<br />

about 9,000 cubic yards of earth work and 800<br />

yards of stone facing had been removed.<br />

Fortunately no serious damage is reported<br />

through the rush of pent-up waters, but Mr.<br />

Clarke (secretary) and family had a narrow<br />

escape. The water just reached the house<br />

they occupied when it receeded. The<br />

occupants left the house and took up a<br />

position further up the hill.<br />

Mr. Jessop says that the indirect results will be<br />

worse than the actual damage. The company<br />

would have been washing gold within three<br />

weeks but for the accident, but he still hopes<br />

to be in a position to commence operations<br />

before Christmas. The actual cost of the dam<br />

is estimated at over £11,000.<br />

Sorry to have disappointed everyone that booked in for the excursion to Mapleville …. The good<br />

news is that we are going to Mapleville on the 21st September without fail, so book in now!!<br />

In Your September Garden<br />

With the days warming up, get your garden<br />

ready by adding compost and lime, weed the<br />

plot and turn the soil ready for planting.<br />

VEGETABLE’S SEED:<br />

Carrots - if your soil is light and deep, sow the<br />

larger varieties such as Topweight, Western<br />

Red, All Seasons. All three varieties are<br />

resistant to virus disease.<br />

If soil is shallow try King Chantenay, Early<br />

Horn, Baby carrots. Mix seeds with coarse<br />

sand and plant at a depth of 10mm. Water and<br />

cover the rows with hessian to keep the<br />

surface from drying out too quickly.<br />

Parsnips - sow same as carrots.<br />

Lettuce, Silver beet, Onions, Cabbages -<br />

(cover with netting after germinating to keep<br />

the white cabbage moth grubs off them).<br />

Radish, Kohlrabi - sow the seed directly into<br />

the soil. Before sowing dig to spade depth, and<br />

spread a complete fertilizer over the area.<br />

Beetroot, peas and potatoes ( the tubers or<br />

seed potatoes are planted 15cm deep and<br />

75cm apart, add a general fertilizer at the rate<br />

of a good handful below the tubers per running<br />

metre).<br />

FLOWERS:<br />

Plant seedlings of violas, verbena, dianthus,<br />

carnations, stock, wallflower, dwarf sweet<br />

Williams, nemesia, polyanthus and petunias for<br />

early summer display.<br />

Plant gladioli bulbs, they like a garden<br />

containing compost and plenty of sun and good<br />

drainage. Gladioli from planting to flowering<br />

should be about 90 days, you can stagger the<br />

planting out and get flowers at different times.<br />

If the soil is sandy you may need to stake the<br />

plants as they grow. A light dressing of a<br />

complete fertilizer when planting will ensure<br />

large healthy flowers.<br />

You can sow lawn seeds now. Prepare the soil<br />

dig out the weeds, add a dressing of lime or<br />

gypsum and cultivate to a depth of 8-10cm,<br />

From Irene Turner<br />

about 4-2 weeks before sowing the seeds.<br />

Established Lawns; spray the weeds such as<br />

clover and bindii. Before spraying give the<br />

lawn a good watering. To rejuvenate your lawn<br />

apply a balanced or complete fertilizer, before<br />

or during the rain. There is a weed and feed<br />

product for the lawns.<br />

CHRYSAN<strong>THE</strong>MUMS<br />

Plant these now in<br />

time for Mothers day<br />

next year. You can<br />

take cuttings now<br />

and also divide the<br />

old plants to make<br />

more. If the weather<br />

is wet in summer<br />

chrysanthemums can be affected by fungus<br />

disease, the bottom leaves may turn brown<br />

and drop off and the top leaves show signs of<br />

black spot. Spray with Zineb or Benlare.<br />

O<strong>THE</strong>R JOBS:<br />

Plant delphinium, waterlily. You can pot some<br />

bulbs of Asiatic liliums for Christmas flowers.<br />

You can move and transplant perennials,<br />

shrubs and trees.<br />

Plant bottlebrush for spring and summer<br />

flowers.<br />

Lift, divide and replant canna and gerbera.<br />

Ferns can be divided and re-potted now. Use<br />

extra coir peat in the potting mix and add a<br />

slow-release fertilizer.<br />

Rake off old mulch from the roses, re-use it in<br />

garden beds well away from the roses, then<br />

apply fresh mulch. This prevents re-infecting<br />

plants with foliar diseases.<br />

Re-pot shrubs and trees and apply slowrelease<br />

fertilizer.<br />

Finish planting bare-rooted trees, shrub roses.<br />

Water in well, apply a diluted seaweed,<br />

manure, or blood and bone, and mulch.<br />

Council Update<br />

Excerpts from council meeting<br />

20 August 2013<br />

Flood Warning System<br />

Council resolved that the implementation of the<br />

flood warning system improvements be<br />

deferred until the Office of Environment and<br />

Heritage grant application is determined.<br />

At the December 2012 Meeting, Council<br />

endorsed the recommendations presented in<br />

the Floodplain Risk Management Study, which<br />

was partly funded from a grant received from<br />

the Office of Environment and Heritage.<br />

The Study recommended the implementation<br />

of a Flood Warning System and the provision<br />

of additional rainfall gauges and flow<br />

measurement stations and the preparation of a<br />

flood warning procedure. The estimated cost to<br />

deliver these recommendations is $90,000.<br />

Council has allocated $70,000 in the 2013/14<br />

Operation Plan to commence the implementation<br />

of these recommendations. In addition a<br />

grant application has been submitted to the<br />

Office of Environment and Heritage for additional<br />

funding assistance.<br />

At Tuesday’s meeting, Council considered<br />

several options to progress work on the flood<br />

warning systems, specifically the installation of<br />

additional rain and river gauges to enhance<br />

Council’s Flood Warning System.<br />

At the meeting, it was resolved that the<br />

implementation of the flood warning system be<br />

deferred until the Office of Environment and<br />

Heritage grant application has been<br />

determined<br />

Tarago Tennis Courts lighting<br />

Tarago will soon enjoy lighting over their tennis<br />

courts with Council resolving to spend $34,000<br />

on this project. Recently, $17,000 was<br />

obtained from the NSW Sport and Recreation<br />

Facilities Grants for this lighting, with the<br />

additional $17,000 being funded by Council’s<br />

Special Projects Reserve.<br />

SES Local Controller<br />

Councillors endorsed the reappointment of<br />

Robert Bell as the Local Controller of the<br />

Goulburn State Emergency Service for a<br />

further two years.<br />

Constitutional Recognition campaign<br />

Councillors agreed with the recommendation<br />

based on one change that; The Local<br />

Government NSW request for a contribution<br />

towards the Constitutional Recognition<br />

campaign and for staff to work on Election Day<br />

for the campaign be declined. Goulburn<br />

Mulwaree Mayor Geoff Kettle stated that<br />

unless we have bipartisan support at all levels<br />

of government that this campaign would<br />

become unachievable. He felt that there may<br />

be alternatives to the current strategy and<br />

remains in support of constitutional recognition<br />

for local government.<br />

Country Mayors Association<br />

Council has agreed not to renew its annual<br />

membership to Country Mayors Association.<br />

However, it agreed to accept the SEROC<br />

(South east Regional Organisation of<br />

Councils) end of term report. SEROC will be<br />

ad advised of Council’s ongoing commitment<br />

to membership in accordance with the current<br />

SEROC Board Resolution.<br />

Redevelopment of Goulburn War Memorial<br />

Car Park and Forecourt<br />

The current tender for redevelopment of<br />

Goulburn War Memorial car park and forecourt<br />

will be cancelled in accordance with Local<br />

Environment Regulations - as the submitted<br />

prices are outside the available budget.<br />

The Goulburn War Memorial Redevelopment<br />

Project will be redesigned or restaged to<br />

account quantity surveyor and design advice.<br />

A Working Group be formed consisting of the<br />

Mayor, interested Councillors, staff and<br />

members of the RSL Sub Branch to discuss<br />

the scope and staging of the project.<br />

Joy E Allenby-Acuna ALPACAS - Anecdotes & Advice La Granja Holistic Alpacas<br />

Still in winter, but not long to<br />

go until Spring, I always<br />

regard this as the 1st of<br />

September but the equinox is<br />

on September 22nd.<br />

The Alpacas are very well and<br />

They have only had to be in<br />

the shelter because of the rain<br />

about three times. We have<br />

had rain on and off but not too<br />

much. The creek is still<br />

flowing and has rushed<br />

through up to the banks.<br />

Ninfo had a gunky eye but I<br />

washed it with eyebright and<br />

thanks to a good diet and life<br />

that is the only problem we<br />

have had. Except for Mbale who hurt his leg playing with Monty, but with TLC and homeopathic<br />

cures and a healing from Billie Dean he is getting better.<br />

Apart from the few aches and pains of advancing years, Heroides and I have been well, no colds<br />

or flu, we are very lucky!! . But we look after ourselves and eat well. My vegetarian diet is keeping<br />

me very healthful and I have also lost a little off my middle. I only fall down on cheese and the<br />

occasional egg now and will become a full vegan soon. As one person ,I cannot save the Alpacas<br />

from hurt and cruelty entirely (and all other creatures) so this is my bit towards it. Cannot stand the<br />

look or smell of meat now.<br />

There was an awful programme on Landline the Sunday before last, I missed it but was sent it by<br />

a friend. Disgusting and upsetting, how can humans do this to innocent creatures, I am afraid I do<br />

not understand. The look in the<br />

eyes of the two being led to the<br />

abattoir was appalling. How<br />

dare we breed them for this, to<br />

put in our mouths all for<br />

greed !!!! I think future<br />

generations will look back on<br />

this time with horror and rightly<br />

so.<br />

If you have a heart and care at<br />

all please sign my petition on<br />

Care2 www.thepetitionsite.com.<br />

Please do not kill and eat<br />

Alpacas. The Alpacas thank<br />

you.<br />
