Gordonvale has in years past produced<br />
outstanding vigoro players. 2017 was<br />
one of those years.<br />
The Queensland State Titles were held<br />
in Ipswich in January. Two Gordonvale<br />
Under 18 players, Kelsie Gammie and<br />
Heidi Schneider were selected in the<br />
honorary Queensland team, based on<br />
their performance during that carnival.<br />
Kelsie was appointed Vice Captain of<br />
the Queensland team.<br />
Local Gordonvale achievements did not<br />
stop there. Jodie Auld playing in the<br />
veteran side was also selected to play<br />
for Queensland. With very good vigoro<br />
played over that weekend, and although<br />
excited to be chosen, this did take<br />
Jodie by surprise. Team captain, Leanne<br />
Coutts said, “Jodie put 100% into the<br />
whole carnival. With her fitness level<br />
high and fielding mid boundary, Jodie<br />
consistently ran fielding balls. She was<br />
open batter and always got runs to start<br />
the innings.”<br />
Young Kelsie Gammie’s contribution<br />
to vigoro through her fundraising<br />
efforts and playing performances was<br />
acknowledged by being awarded Cairns<br />
Vigoro Association’s Junior Player of the<br />
Kelsie Gammie, Jodie Auld and Heidi Schneider<br />
Year. Kelsie assisted with fundraising<br />
to get the Under 18 team to Ipswich<br />
by selling chocolates, assisting at the<br />
Gordonvale Lions Club Food Van and also<br />
selling raffle tickets. Her performance<br />
on the field with strong bowling figures<br />
and competitive fielding and batting<br />
contributed to her Gordonvale team in<br />
the Cairns competition. As captain of<br />
the Gordonvale team, strategic game<br />
play was her forte. Kelsie was selected<br />
as Captain of the Cairns Under 18 side<br />
and has played for Cairns for the last 4<br />
years.<br />
Vigoro is in Kelsie’s blood. Her mum,<br />
Lynelle Crappe played and continues to<br />
play and coach vigoro. She previously<br />
represented Queensland in the Seniors<br />
side. Lynelle’s own mum, Collette<br />
Crappe, a life member of the Cairns<br />
Vigoro Association played vigoro in the<br />
1950’s and 1960’s, playing at Norman<br />
Park, Alley Park and in Cairns. It’s a<br />
game that is passed down through<br />
generations.<br />
Congratulations girls….. we are proud of<br />
you.<br />
Cairns Vigoro Association’s Season<br />
commences in August and plays<br />
LITTER LEGEND<br />
Some of you may have seen a woman<br />
braving the hot temperatures around<br />
Christmas time picking up litter around<br />
Gordonvale. That woman was Helen<br />
McGuigan. Helen from Dublin was<br />
home visiting her parents for Christmas.<br />
Riding a bike to as far away as Green<br />
Hill, she collected litter along the way.<br />
Clean ups are not new to Helen. She<br />
participates in the National Spring<br />
Clean in Dublin. National Spring Clean<br />
is Ireland’s anti-litter program, a yearly<br />
event during the whole month of April.<br />
Thank you Helen for all your efforts to<br />
keep Gordonvale clean!<br />

AUSTRALIA DAY<br />
Despite the rain, our community still enjoyed the Australia Day activities in Norman<br />
Park. This event was hosted by Rock Impact Inc. Rock Impact Inc is an organisation<br />
that delivers early intervention programs for children and families.<br />
There was something for everyone- thong throwing competition, face painting,<br />
pie eating competition, live music, and free lamingtons with tea & coffee. The kids<br />
were also entertaining themselves by playing in the puddles.<br />
Thanks again to the Gordonvale Lions Club for their sausage sizzle. The hot food<br />
just hit the spot on such a wet day.<br />

MARK & ELLEN’S CASH STORE<br />
Depending on the era of your residency,<br />
you may know 42 Riverstone Road<br />
only as it is now, the premises of North<br />
Queensland Equine Clinic or if you have<br />
been around Gordonvale for a while you<br />
will remember a number of businesses<br />
located at this corner of Riverstone<br />
Road and Moller Street.<br />
42 Riverstone Road. ‘Mrs Van’ had the<br />
shop until 1980 when it was purchased<br />
by Mark and Ellen Trevor. It became<br />
‘Mark & Ellen’s Cash Store’ and<br />
continued to offer the same popular<br />
lollies everyone reminisced about years<br />
before. It was a place to catch up with<br />
local news. Shopkeepers had the time<br />
to have conversations and get to know<br />
their customers.<br />
Wayne and Marjorie Maitland continued<br />
to use the premises as a corner store<br />
until they relocated the business next<br />
door in 1986. Mark and Ellen still owning<br />
the premises leased it out, modernising<br />
and adapting to cater for different types<br />
of businesses.<br />
Mark, Ellen and Christine Trevor<br />
Records could be found back as far as<br />
1931 when Michael McCabe owned/<br />
leased this corner. Searches with the<br />
Department of Natural Resources and<br />
Mines revealed future owners/lessees<br />
Thomas & Anna Bowen (1939); Albert<br />
and Annie Thomsen (1946); Edward &<br />
Mary Hunter (1948); Alfred Way (1949);<br />
Francis & Edna Dwyer (1951); Archibald<br />
& Lorraine Daddow (1952). Despite<br />
research, not much information could<br />
be found about what happened at this<br />
location prior to Daddows owning and<br />
managing their shop.<br />
Perhaps locals upon reading this will be<br />
able to provide some further history.<br />
Archie’s Shop (Archibald) was probably<br />
quite typical of corner stores from that<br />
time. It was a general store stocking<br />
the basic essentials including bread,<br />
milk, cigarettes ….and of course lollies.<br />
Recollections about Archie’s Shop<br />
from residents during this time always<br />
mention the lollies. This was a common<br />
thread right up until when Maitland’s<br />
had the store. Mark Trevor also recalls<br />
eating by- jingos with his mates sitting<br />
on the wooden stool at the front of the<br />
shop.<br />
McCallum Family<br />
From that time on these premises were<br />
used for purposes other than a general<br />
store. The outside physical features of<br />
the building have not changed much<br />
over the years but the inside structure<br />
has been modified to suit the particular<br />
businesses leasing them including Qld<br />
Health; Fast Eddy’s (Pizza), Punky’s<br />
Pizza & Pasta (Colin and Carollyn<br />
McCallum), Phil Harvey Real Estate and<br />
today, North Queensland Equine Clinic.<br />

FROG FRIENDS<br />
Frog Pad<br />
My first green frog experience was on Daru,<br />
1973. Charlie, the big crocodile on Green<br />
Island in the ‘70s was on Daru at the time.<br />
Charlie was a gentle giant in a chicken wire<br />
fence and he enjoyed a chat and pat on the<br />
head. His flight out of Daru chained to a long<br />
plank of teak full of valium, plus all that local<br />
art, is an interesting story in itself. For my six<br />
weeks on Daru I was billeted with “Crazy”<br />
who had been on the island too long. He<br />
had two pet green frogs that were on the<br />
back railing every morning waiting for “a<br />
rub”. Wild frogs as pets.<br />
Now I am ‘the crazy’ with frogs around the<br />
house, two of whom like a wash of water<br />
when on the window sills. The old guy at<br />
the back door has been in the same water<br />
base pot for seven years. He likes to stick<br />
his nose out and watch the world go by<br />
much to the delight of the g-kids. I can rub<br />
his nose in the pot and pick him up when he<br />
is out. He survived a recent two day effort<br />
by a full sized iridescent blue tree snake to<br />
get him. Had to use some homemade ‘shoo<br />
snake’ to make it move. Less fortunate were<br />
some of the frogs in the trees behind the<br />
house that we lost to a speckled monitor.<br />
The g-kids heard those plaintive frog cries<br />
so we decided to make some frog pads to<br />
protect them in the future. Frog pads are<br />
storm water pipe lengths providing hiding<br />
spaces with frog friendly opening.<br />
The 2017 mosquito illness report for Cairns<br />
Dengue Fever, Barmah Forest (a Forest is in<br />
Victoria) virus and malaria are all declining.<br />
Green frogs do their mosquito thing. But<br />
micro bats (the 5cm ones) do better, a<br />
thousand insects a night (but they do suffer<br />
from associated bad bat media coverage)<br />
and birds like the Spotted Pardalote<br />
contribute.<br />
The Gordonvale Community Garden is<br />
working on housing for each of these<br />
options. See them at the markets.<br />

IN THE GARDEN<br />
with Carmel Peatey<br />
When you walk through the gate of Carmel<br />
Peatey’s one acre property on the outskirts<br />
of Gordonvale, you know you are in for a<br />
special treat. This garden is a true labour<br />
of love, time and knowledge for what plants<br />
work well with little water in the dry times.<br />
Deep mulching with shredded prunings<br />
from their shrubs and trees is an integral<br />
component in drought proofing the garden<br />
and there is not a weed in sight.<br />
The boundary beds are full of contrasting<br />
shrubs and trees including many gorgeous<br />
Maniltoa lenticellata, ‘Handkerchief tree’.<br />
All the numerous garden beds have been<br />
raised and edged with substantial rocks<br />
creating neat and easy mowing spaces.<br />
You feel compelled to meander through<br />
shaded lawn areas designed for quiet sitting<br />
and contemplating. Other striking trees in the<br />
garden are the dainty leaved Radamachera<br />
‘Chrystal doll’, Xanthostemon chrysanthus<br />
variegated, ‘Golden Daintree gem penda’,<br />
Xanthorrhoea ‘Grass trees’, together with<br />
many citrus trees.<br />
Carmel has a keen interest in bromeliads<br />
and has a huge collection with riotous<br />
colour everywhere including shade houses<br />
chocked full of stunning well maintained<br />
beauties.<br />
It is no wonder that Carmel has been the<br />
worthy winner of Cairns Garden awards for<br />
many years when it was running.<br />
TASTE BUDDIES<br />
with Tenielle Massey<br />
Perfect Lemonade<br />
A great way to use up lemons and quench<br />
your thirst.<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup of brown sugar<br />
1 cup of water<br />
1 cup of lemon juice<br />
2 to 3 cups of cold water to dilute<br />
Method<br />
1. Make a syrup – place sugar and water<br />
in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.<br />
Stir so sugar dissolves completely and<br />
remove from heat.<br />
2. While the water is heating for the simple<br />
syrup, juice your lemons. 4-6 lemons<br />
should be enough for one cup of juice.<br />
3. Pour the juice and the syrup water into<br />
a jug. Add 2-3 cups of cold water and<br />
taste. If the lemonade is a little sweet for<br />
your taste add more straight lemon juice<br />
to it.<br />
4. Refrigerate for 30-40 minutes<br />
REAL ESTATE MATTERS<br />
with Robyn Hawley-Whitton<br />
What Do I Do to Get the Best Price<br />
for my property? – Part I – Selling.<br />
If you are thinking about putting your<br />
property on the market for sale it is<br />
surprising the little things that you<br />
can do to improve your end price. For<br />
Example:<br />
• Declutter your home, especially if<br />
you have years of memorabilia and<br />
treasures everywhere. Buyers want to<br />
be able to imagine their own belongings<br />
in the property. Sometimes it is worth<br />
renting a shed or starting to sort and<br />
pack, something you will have to do<br />
anyway.<br />
• “Kitchens and bathrooms sell houses”<br />
so, depending on your budget, it can<br />
be as small a change as replacing old<br />
taps, shower and towel rails, replacing<br />
plastic or timber handles for chrome,<br />
that make such a difference.<br />
• Moisture readings from leaking<br />
bathroom and kitchen taps caused by<br />
cracked grout and silicon are always<br />
found during a building inspection and<br />
can be easily avoided if attended to<br />
prior.<br />

LOCAL ARCHITECT DESIGNS POLICE AND FIRE STATIONS<br />
Shortlist for QLD Bluescope Steel Award.<br />
Sentimental about the Gordonvale<br />
projects, Julianne said, “ I was very<br />
honoured when Julianne McAlloon<br />
Architects were successful in tendering<br />
the Police and Fire Stations at Gordonvale<br />
and we took on the challenge with a<br />
great sense of pride and ownership.<br />
Both buildings were designed to sit<br />
comfortably within the context of their<br />
surrounds and to relate well to their<br />
MULGRAVE MILL<br />
APPRENTICE BEST IN FNQ<br />
Mulgrave Mill electrician Austin Fox has<br />
capped off the 2017 season by winning<br />
the Paul Quagliata Memorial Bursary as<br />
the most outstanding final year apprentice<br />
in the Far North Queensland sugarcane<br />
industry.<br />
Austin, who was a finalist in the Electrical<br />
and Refrigeration Apprentice of the Year<br />
category at the TAFE Queensland North<br />
Trade Excellence Awards earlier this year,<br />
won the prestigious award over the best<br />
fourth year apprentices from Mossman,<br />
Tableland, South Johnstone, Tully,<br />
Macknade and Victoria mills.<br />
Julianne McAlloon<br />
Designing two very significant community<br />
buildings in her home area was personally<br />
very satisfying for local architect, Julianne<br />
McAlloon. The new Gordonvale Fire<br />
Station on the Gillies Road and Police<br />
Station at 14 Draper Street were both<br />
designed by Julianne. Upon learning that<br />
a person originating from the area was<br />
the architect of these two projects, the<br />
community has responded with pride and<br />
interest.<br />
Julianne grew up on her parents’ cane<br />
farm at Meerawa. Robin and Anne’s farm<br />
was only 30 metres away from Meerawa<br />
State School, a school with enrolment<br />
numbers of generally less than 10 in the<br />
late 1980s. After attending Meerawa<br />
State School, Julianne completed her<br />
secondary schooling at Gordonvale State<br />
High School and was Dux in Year 12.<br />
Being a creative thinker, a lover of the arts<br />
with a natural ability in both science and<br />
maths led her to studying Architecture at<br />
QUT and receiving the QUT Medal, The<br />
Board of Architects Prize, The Deans<br />
Award for Excellence for Faculty of Built<br />
Environment and Engineering, Andrew<br />
Brock Memorial Prize and the Noel<br />
Robinson Architects Prize.<br />
environment, capturing the prevailing<br />
breezes, having the civic street presence<br />
and appearing welcoming and engaging<br />
to the community at the same time”.<br />
Curtis Pitt, Member for Mulgrave said, “I<br />
was thrilled to learn that local architect<br />
Julianne McAlloon was successful in her<br />
tender to design both the Fire and Police<br />
stations. It is pleasing to see talented locals<br />
being engaged on significant community<br />
projects. Construction of Gordonvale’s<br />
new $3.5 million Fire Station was brought<br />
forward under the Labor Government’s<br />
Accelerated Works Program with the<br />
works complete in December 2017.<br />
Officers are now operational from the<br />
new site with the official opening of the<br />
station scheduled to take place in early<br />
March. While the future use of the existing<br />
fire station is yet to be determined, it is<br />
my preference to see it retained by the<br />
Queensland Government as an asset for<br />
shared use by local community groups<br />
and associations.”<br />

ANIMAL ANTICS<br />
With Steph Williams BVS MANZCVS<br />
NORTH QUEENSLAND EQUINE CLINIC<br />
The strange things animals ingest!<br />
Pets chewing objects up is one thing,<br />
but when pets ingest these non-food<br />
objects it can be a big problem. I thought<br />
it would be interesting to touch on just<br />
a few of the experiences I have had in<br />
dealing with animals ingesting random<br />
objects.<br />
Let’s start with the obvious, Dogs! It<br />
is a dog’s instinct to chew, and this<br />
behaviour can be amplified when a dog<br />
is a puppy, he/she is bored, or suffering<br />
anxiety (being left alone, noise phobic<br />
and so on). My own dog regularly passes<br />
bits of toys that he has decided to chew<br />
up and swallow! Unfortunately, not all<br />
objects can be passed and instead<br />
have to be manually remove from<br />
dog’s stomachs and intestines. Some<br />
common examples include corn cobs,<br />
golf balls, fish hooks, rocks, cooked<br />
bone fragments, bras, undies and even<br />
socks! Obviously, prevention is better<br />
than the cure in this instance, so keeping<br />
these objects out of reach and providing<br />
your dog with lots of SAFE alternatives<br />
to chew is essential.<br />
Most people probably don’t realise that<br />
cats can find themselves on a surgery<br />
table for foreign body removal too. Some<br />
cats, especially kittens that have been<br />
removed from their mother too soon<br />
may develop unusual sucking behaviour,<br />
whereby they suck and ingest fibres<br />
from wool blankets or even sometimes<br />
whole pieces of string. Cats tend to be<br />
better at hiding the signs of intestinal<br />
obstructions than dogs are, so it pays<br />
to identify these behaviours early and<br />
speak with your vet about how to avoid<br />
an emergency situation.<br />
I regularly get phone calls from clients<br />
who have right in front of their eyes<br />
watched their horse eat plastic bags and<br />
twine from hay bales. Some horses love<br />
mangos and while some clever horses<br />
learn to spit the seeds out, we have had<br />
to retrieve the odd mango seed from a<br />
horse’s oesophagus when he has been<br />
a bit too greedy. Ingesting chook food<br />
or dog food or even large quantities of<br />
grain after breaking into a feed shed can<br />
be life threatening for horses. Seeking<br />
veterinary advice as soon as these<br />
situations occurred is recommended.<br />
Perhaps one of the coolest cases I have<br />
seen was a tree snake who ingested a<br />
golf ball! The poor tree snake snuck into<br />
a chook nesting box, where the owner<br />
of the chooks had placed a golf ball to<br />
help encourage the chooks to lay their<br />
eggs in this spot. Apparently, to a snake,<br />
a golf ball with the scent of chicken on<br />
it, it is close enough to an egg and it will<br />
have a crack at it (pun intended).<br />
For this poor snake it could have been<br />
well over 6 months that the golf ball sat<br />
in her intestinal tract, preventing her from<br />
being able to eat anything else. She was<br />
very skinny when someone handed her<br />
in to the clinic. After rehydrating her and<br />
radiographing her we went to surgery<br />
and removed the golf ball (still in perfect<br />
condition!). She went into intensive care<br />
and was hand fed slowly before being<br />
rehabilitated and released.<br />
I could go on for ages about all the weird<br />
things animals have eaten, but I am over<br />
my word limit and when it comes to<br />
letting you know about ALL the items I<br />
have seen animals ingest, it’s probably<br />
best I keep the content PG, if you catch<br />
my drift!<br />
WHALE OF A TALE<br />
Lloyd Badger<br />
Young Lloyd Badger at 18 years of age,<br />
has scored his dream job as a crown of<br />
thorns (COTS) research diver.<br />
Looking for adventure, Lloyd applied<br />
online and progressed successfully<br />
through the interview stages then<br />
completing a rigorous 6 months of<br />
training. Lloyd’s qualifications include<br />
current Dive Master, Certificate of<br />
Business and a First Aid certificate<br />
including use of O2 and defibrillation.<br />
He would like to complete Coxswain<br />
and/or Master 5 ticket, enabling him to<br />
drive the research vessel.<br />
Lloyd’s job entails controlling COTS<br />
outbreaks, collecting live specimens<br />
for local and out of state universities;<br />
and completing reef health and impact<br />
surveys.<br />
One of Lloyd’s many highlights of the<br />
8 months he has been in the job is<br />
sighting a 6 metre whale shark on the<br />
edge of Rib Reef, 50 km off the coast<br />
of Mission Beach. This is not a common<br />
experience with Lloyd’s dive buddy on<br />
the day confirming he had never seen a<br />
whale shark in the 20 years of diving on<br />
the Great Barrier Reef.<br />
During the routine 40 minute COTS<br />
control dive, the large shadow passing<br />
over Lloyd was initially quite unnerving<br />
for him. Relief set in when Lloyd realised<br />
it was a large whale shark drifting past<br />
him at a close distance and then he was<br />
able to enjoy the experience.<br />

YARRIE YARNS<br />
with Vince Schrieber<br />
PUMP STATION IS ARTIST’S<br />
CANVAS<br />
“Being king, it was handed down<br />
from generation from my Great Great<br />
Grandfather so I’m fifth generation of<br />
bloodline. My Great Great Grandfather<br />
took the first role as he was the son of<br />
the first leader of Yarrabah. When the<br />
church came to Yarrabah, to the shores<br />
in those days, like how you guys (Police)<br />
get sworn in as Cops, you swear on an<br />
oath to the Queen so that’s the same<br />
oath I take on the seal of the cross.<br />
My Great Great Grandfather he was<br />
acknowledged as the tribal king of<br />
this community but the Kingship didn’t<br />
come until later on. In white man terms,<br />
when the church came to our shores,<br />
the sign of the cross had to be anointed<br />
before he could be acknowledged as<br />
the King.<br />
In traditional ways he was acknowledged<br />
as the king and the leader but in white<br />
man terms he was just acknowledged<br />
as a leader. To take that and work with<br />
the church in those days he had to<br />
have a title so they gave him the title of<br />
‘King’. He had to be anointed by sacred<br />
oil and that was handed down from him<br />
to his next son then to my Grandmother<br />
to my Father. It stems back a long way,<br />
I get to the first part and then keep<br />
going back and back and back. It<br />
brings out the strength in me when I<br />
think of that tradition. Back then being<br />
a tribal leader you had a lot of ground<br />
to cover in a small area. The area looks<br />
small but map wise it’s a big huge area<br />
where he used to control, we go back<br />
right up the coast, past Bessie Point<br />
to Gordonvale/Edmonton even to the<br />
bottom of the Cairns area.<br />
I have been the King for five years. It’s<br />
pretty good, I’m trying to work with<br />
everyone trying to keep Yarrabah the<br />
way it should be. There is some things I<br />
can do and some things that I can’t, it’s<br />
a bit of a challenge.<br />
I think learning from past experience<br />
and being around my Dad and<br />
Grandmother has been good. You<br />
either entice, embrace it or you can go<br />
with the flow but things could get out<br />
of hand if you do that. I would rather<br />
entice it, embrace it and then go with<br />
the flow because it makes life more<br />
easier, not only for me, not only for my<br />
family but for Yarrabah as a whole.<br />
As well as King I work for the Yarrabah<br />
Council where I have worked for thirty<br />
something years, I am the Water and<br />
Waste manager, I was in roads and<br />
construction before that with my Old<br />
Man, I learnt the tricks of the trade in<br />
that. It wasn’t a challenge anymore so I<br />
swapped jobs. It is my tenth year as the<br />
Water and Waste manager.<br />
I’m also involved in the Yarrabah<br />
Seahawks Rugby League club and<br />
have been involved since it started in<br />
2010, we are only a young club. I help<br />
out as a sports trainer.”<br />
Yarrie Yarns is a project promoting positive<br />
posting on social media with the catch<br />
phrase “Post Positive” It is a community<br />
involved project where members of Yarrabah<br />
tell their stories (in their words and views)<br />
about life in the community.<br />
The sewage pump station between<br />
the industrial area in Gordonvale<br />
and the Bruce Highway became the<br />
canvas for artist Anthony Vanghoua<br />
Vue. Vue is a multidisciplinary artist<br />
working in painting, sculpture, drawing,<br />
installation, public art and communitybased<br />
art. The work is titled RAWS<br />
ROOB (following mountains).<br />
Councillor Brett Moller said, “During<br />
2017, the Water & Waste Department<br />
proposed an art project incorporating<br />
public art on some of Council’s<br />
infrastructure. That was taken from our<br />
Water/Waste committee to a workshop<br />
and the whole of Council were in<br />
support of the project”.<br />
Vue draws on popular culture, street<br />
art, DIY ethic, and art history to bring<br />
aspects of his Hmong heritage into a<br />
contemporary art context.<br />
Sewage pump station<br />
Mountains have played a significant<br />
role for the Hmong as sites of conflict,<br />
fortress, refuge, sustenance, home and<br />
belonging. In this mural, the mountains,<br />
trees, and built structures of both past<br />
and present homes, including the<br />
surroundings of Long Cheng, Ban Vinai,<br />
Phu Bia, and Cairns’ southern suburbs<br />
of Mount Sheridan, White Rock,<br />
Bentley Park, Edmonton, and the town<br />
of Gordonvale are selected, abstracted<br />
and recombined into a reimagined<br />

WELCOME BACK BABINDA KAYAKING<br />
It’s a hot summer’s day in Far North Queensland and there is no better way to cool off than to hit the water. It is great to see<br />
Babinda Kayaking up and running again under the new ownership of Paul O’Brien. Paul has 15 years experience as a white<br />
water tour guide and Operations Manager so he knows his stuff but enough about Paul, let’s talk about the Babinda Kayaking<br />
experience.<br />
Once you arrive you are warmly welcomed by Paul who gets you kitted out before a safety briefing then we head down to the<br />
Babinda Creek and start our self guided journey.<br />
The creek is a pristine environment with crystal clear water enabling you to clearly see many species of fish, turtles and if<br />
you are lucky an elusive platypus as you travel the 9km journey down stream on this sandy creek. Babinda Creek is an easy<br />
paddle even for the novice paddler. You can sit back and just let the current take you whilst listening to the birdlife chatting<br />
away on the creek banks and you really get the feel of being right back with nature. Along the way there are plenty of spots<br />
to pull up the kayak on a sandy bank and get out for a swim and it is well worth it. You could even boil a billy and enjoy a<br />
nice cuppa.<br />
In total the journey will take about 3 hours if you really relax and enjoy it. There are single or double kayaks and for the more<br />
adventurous, Stand Up Paddleboards. Babinda Kayaking is family friendly catering to all age groups (we had a 4 year old on<br />
our trip) and is even dog friendly so it really is a fun day out for the entire family. At present there is a 20% discount making<br />
it a fun, affordable family day out.<br />
There are mornings or afternoon sessions and bookings are essential. Bookings can be made at<br />
www.babindakayaking.com.au<br />

PYRAMID POWER’S INNOVATIVE PROGRAM<br />
Gordonvale’s own <strong>Pyramid</strong> Power<br />
Australian Rules and Sporting Club Inc<br />
have created an Australian and probably<br />
a World First Youth Community Program.<br />
Called the <strong>Pyramid</strong> Power Community<br />
Program it has initially 5 key pillars of<br />
work which is driven by our Local Youth<br />
Aged Club Members.<br />
Dave Chalk<br />
Standing in water can make painful or<br />
weak movements easier. She has one<br />
client who cannot walk on the land but is<br />
safe to walk and swim in the pool with a<br />
floatation device.<br />
Access is easy. The ramp means that<br />
people can walk into the water holding<br />
a rail or be pushed in on the water chair.<br />
Even if you cannot swim there is plenty<br />
of activities you can do in the water to<br />
improve strength, flexibility, balance and<br />
general fitness.<br />
If you are unsure about how to start,<br />
book an appointment with Gordonvale<br />
Physiotherapy and they can assess your<br />
needs and safety and devise a program<br />
for you. Otherwise get down to the pool<br />
and feel the freedom of moving in the<br />
water.<br />

Buzacott Street<br />
Gillies Highway. It was towed behind a truck<br />
to smooth and level out the road. Pictured<br />
in the photo is Don and his daughter Sharon<br />
Inskip. (nee Leighton)<br />
Named after Jim Buzacott, one of the first<br />
entomologists at the Sugar Experiment<br />
Station at Meringa, just north of Gordonvale.<br />
He joined the Meringa staff in 1927 and set<br />
out in simple form a means of identifying<br />
species of grub that were detrimental to the<br />
sugar cane plant. He worked for the Bureau<br />
for 44 years, and his work culminated in the<br />
use of Gamma Benzene Hexachloride BHC<br />
– Gammexane, the only effective control<br />
measure against the Grey Back grub pest,<br />
which is one of the most damaging insect<br />
pests the Qld cane growers have ever had<br />
to contend with. Pictured are his four<br />
children from left is Jim Buzacott, (Jnr) Chris<br />
Smith, (nee Buzacott) Barb Manassero, (nee<br />

Leighton Crescent & Park<br />
Don Leighton is who these two land marks<br />
were named after. Don was a director of the<br />
Mulgrave Sugar Mill for 32 years and was<br />
Chairman from 1981 to 2003. Don’s father<br />
Richard bought their Aloomba cane farm in<br />
1921 and Don and his son Jeff continue to<br />
farm there today. Don tells the story that in<br />
his father’s era, most of the time the roads<br />
were impassable between Gordonvale and<br />
Aloomba.<br />
Wienert Close<br />
This close was named after the Wienert<br />
family.<br />
Peter Wienert and his wife Wilhelmina were<br />
born in Holstein, Germany and sailed to<br />
Cooktown on the S.S. “Dorunda”, in 1885.<br />
They moved to a cane farm at Highleigh,<br />
east of Gordonvale in 1906. They then<br />
moved to Fishery Falls in 1911. Heinrich<br />
(Harry) Wienert was one of 16 children born<br />
to Peter and Wilhelmina Wienert. Harry<br />
worked on the farm at Fishery Falls with<br />
his father Peter and his brother Augie. Viv<br />
Wienert (Harry’s son) and his son Graham<br />
and nephew Daniel are still cane farming<br />
there today.<br />
Viv is a very community minded person and<br />
has over the years volunteered his time at the<br />
Gordonvale Swimming Club as President,<br />
Secretary of All Saints Anglican Church at<br />
Gordonvale and has been a member of the<br />
Aloomba Progress Association for over 50<br />
years.<br />

Welcome, Gary Recklies!<br />
Meet our new principal, Gary Recklies. From<br />
one St Michael’s to another, Gary comes to<br />
us from St Michael’s on Palm Island. During<br />
his eight years there, Gary was instrumental<br />
in the delivery of quality education for<br />
students, professional learning programs for<br />
staff, and engaging the parent body to create<br />
a positive and supportive community,<br />
focused on children.<br />
Gary knows the importance of strengthening<br />
partnerships between school, parish and the<br />
wider community and is keen to embrace his<br />
new responsibilities!<br />
Being very attuned to the characteristics<br />
of our local community, we know his faith<br />
commitment, sensitivity to<br />
the needs of others and<br />
natural leadership style<br />
will be a great asset to<br />
our school community.<br />
A warm welcome to Gary<br />
and all our new and<br />
returning families.<br />

The only reliable way to get between the two<br />
settlements was to use the cane rail line.<br />
Families would design their own makeshift<br />
railroad handcar and manually push up and<br />
down to go along the track. When they<br />
saw a train coming, they would all jump<br />
off and lift the handcar off the track until it<br />
went past, then put it back on the track and<br />
continue on their way. The old grader that<br />
you see in Norman Park, was bought by Don<br />
at a council auction for 25 pounds and he<br />
donated it back to the town of Gordonvale.<br />
This grader was used to help build the<br />

COUNCIL CONVERSATIONS with Brett Moller<br />
<strong>FEBRUARY</strong> 2017<br />
A big welcome back to Gordonvale and<br />
district Division 1 residents for the <strong>2018</strong><br />
and I hope everyone enjoyed their<br />
Christmas/ New Year break. I am certainly<br />
keen to get started on a number of<br />
projects that I would like to see come to<br />
fruition this year.<br />
I thought I would cover off on the new<br />
car parking charges in the Cairns CBD.<br />
Residents may not be aware that the<br />
meter rates have not increased over<br />
the last four years and there has been<br />
a modest increase this year of 20 cents<br />
from $1.20 to $1.40 per hour. As all<br />
sensible thinking people know nothing<br />
stays the same and whilst product and<br />
service costs increase, Council has to<br />
be mindful of the need to ensure our costs<br />
that need to be increased to match the<br />
increasing costs of living, are reasonable<br />
and affordable to the rate payer. However<br />
there is a broader vision at play in our<br />
parking strategy. This is on the back of<br />
feedback of many employees taking<br />
advantage of car parking CBD spaces<br />
and swapping parks every few hours<br />
to the detriment of the businesses they<br />
work for as customers and clients of the<br />
business are denied access to<br />
parks to be able to transact business.<br />
Increased fines will be a deterrent for<br />
those over staying in a parking bay. This as<br />
well as now introducing regulated parking<br />
on weekends so it is now 8.30am to 6pm<br />
seven days a week will ensure there is<br />
a regular turnover of vehicles providing<br />
much needed spaces for those wanting<br />
to shop and dine in the CBD. Please<br />
note though centre medium parking will<br />
continue to be free, seven days a week.<br />
Some say this is just revenue raising by<br />
Council when what we are trying to do<br />
is to change a culture around the way<br />
people view CBD parking. In fact any<br />
money raised will be reinvested<br />
into improved parking options. Over the<br />
last five years over $8.5M dollars has<br />
been spent on parking, 450 new spaces<br />
created, new machines accepting credit<br />
cards to make it easier, and a major<br />
upgrade to the Lake Street car park that is<br />
still underutilised and has availability. We<br />
are supporting a Smart City technology<br />
approach investigating the ability to find<br />
car parks through sensors, real-time<br />
signage and parking apps, so watch this<br />
space going forward.<br />
It was great to invited to a Mulgrave<br />
Cricket Club old players reunion and<br />
meet current players at the new Walker<br />
Rd Sporting Complex at Edmonton<br />
recently. Council has worked with cricket,<br />
soccer, baseball and softball to create<br />
a wonderful venue so these sports can<br />
grow and service our southern corridor.<br />
Likewise the next stage of the Alley Park<br />
upgrade at Gordonvale will<br />
continue this year with a new club house/<br />
club room to be constructed for the user<br />
group.<br />
The Council depot team have started<br />
building a footpath that will complete the<br />
Gordon and Mill Streets section around<br />
the perimeter of Norman Park, from<br />
funding I allocated from my discretionary<br />
funds, which will compliment the new<br />
playground equipment to go in to the park<br />
in the next few months.<br />
So yes it was good to have the break,<br />
but already your Council is working hard<br />
to deliver improvements for community<br />
benefit and I look forward to continuing<br />
to work with our community to get things<br />
done.<br />
Until next time in <strong>2018</strong>, stay safe and<br />
enjoy being part of our local community.<br />
