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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
Helen Rolland, President<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 />

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 />

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 />
