DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
– HOW TO GET HELP
NATHAN GREAVES
Following a rise in cases of
dehydration from users on
the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail,
including one serious incident,
the trail’s Users Association is
urging people to stay on top of
their fluid intake.
Dehydration and heatstroke can occur quite
quickly in hot environments and through
strenuous activity, both of which often go
hand-in-hand on the Rail Trail.
Fluid can be lost through sweat, with tight
clothing or unnecessary layers making it
harder for the sweat to evaporate, leading to
a loss of fluid and higher body temperatures.
Feeling thirsty, tired, hot, faint, or having
headaches are strong indiciators that
something may be wrong, and it’s
recommended that trail users drink plenty
of water, use sunscreen, wear loose-fitting or
lightweight clothes than breathe easily, and
stop to rest in shady areas when necessary.
Using the trail in pairs or groups rather than
trekking alone is also beneficial, as this will
mean others are on-hand to assist in the event
of heat stress or other emergencies, such as a
fall or snakebite.
Toogoolawah Police are seeking
information from the community in
relation to the identity of the offender who
is likely to be male and alone at the time of
the offence. We also request community
members with vehicle dashcam footage
that may have been in the vicinity of
Dingyarra Street Toogoolawah (between
the Brisbane Valley Hwy and Cressbrook
Street Toogoolawah and between the
hours of 6pm and 8pm) to review any
footage they may have and report to us
if any footage is available of a single male
person in the area at the time.
