Our Brigade has

been successful in

receiving State

Government funds through the CFA for a

much-needed extension of our station.

So, if you see building works going on

next time you drive past, that’s what’s

going on.

We hope work will commence soon and

be completed before the fire season.

In winter months, it can be difficult to get

the clothes dried outside on the line, and

many people may use drying racks or a

clothes drier.

Please take care to prevent house fires

this winter.

Remember to keep wet clothing at least 1

metre from heaters or fireplaces and

never leave them unattended. Always

use a fire screen in front of an open fire.

If using a clothes dryer, make sure it is

regularly maintained in accordance with

the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clean the lint filter every time you use

the tumble dryer.

Lack of care for clothes dryers can cre-

ate unsafe conditions which may cause

a fire.

WHAT’S ON

IN JULY

Nicole grew up in the Snowy Mountains NSW where her love af-

fair with horses blossomed at an early age. She had artistic talent

well beyond her years, and spent most of her spare time drawing

and taking photos. Known for her mastery of light, her photo-

graphs have been in the pages of The Age, The Australian, Arabian

Horse World, Australian Geographic, The New York Times and The

London Times. Her photographic book High on Horses released

Internationally in 2003 is an Australian bestseller. Nicole now lives

on a small farm in Gippsland along with her two children, eight

horses, three dogs and three cats. She is now concentrating on

photographing horses and pets, exhibitions, workshops and her

next photographic book. Nicole will also be running some work-

shops on photography—one will be held at the Gallery. For more

Jindi Landcare group recently hosted a group of volunteers from NAB. Each year volunteers from the bank come out from the city to help out a local farmer to plant trees on their farm as part of their giving back to the community. This year a group of 20 vol-unteers planted over 1500 plants at Chris & Charmaine's dairy farm in a morning!

The volunteers worked hard & also experienced a taste of farm life and some local hospitality! The Landcare group appreciates all the volunteers who give up their time each year to support local farmers! This initiative was started quite a few years ago by a Jindi Landcare member who works with the NAB. Thanks to all who came and helped!

With a few new families joining the local

community, we are hoping to organise a

catch up or activities. If you are interested

or have ideas, please contact Kathryn

Burke on 0411351134

JINDI LANDCARE GETS SOME HELP FROM NAB! LOCAL MUMS

AGM Monday 4th Sept 7:30pm

Guest Speaker is Peter Ware, local passion-ate naturalist and photographer from Gouldiae's Nature Blog.

Jindi Market needs your ideas!

The Jindivick market has been running for several years now, with support from the Jindivick Progress Association.

Unfortunately, the past year has shown a steady decline in support by visitors and stall holders for our little market.

If the market continues to make a financial loss for the JPA, we will have no alternative but to stop running this event.

Do you have any ideas of what the JPA could do to revitalise the market? Can you help with volunteer support?

If so, please contact Nikki Cadzow, before the end of July on ph 56285361/0447776178 or cadzow@dcsi.net.au
