Paralympian Visits Tarago Public School

I have known Rob for the last 10 years since he decided to take up dressage and aim for the Paralympic level At the time I was working with two equestriennes from the Riding for the Disabled who were trying to get onto the Sydney 2000 paralympic team The competition was very fierce as it was the first ever equestrian event for the Paralympics

I remember the advice that I gave Rob was as there were a lot of politics involved in the selections the best thing he could do was to keep working to make his performance the best and to never never give up Looks like Rob has done just that through the many obstacles and barriers that are found on the road to the Paralympics

Rob has muscular dystrophy and is rated as a 1A Paralympic athlete which means as the most disabled ranking of the four levels he will be competing in the Grade 1 Dressage event which is a walk test of approximately four minutes

Roblsquos horse and partner for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London is Statford Mantovani (Manny) a

(Continued from page 1)

black warmblood stallion owned by Jose and Fay Mendez Roblsquos coaches and is stabled at Marulan

Rob is also passionate about quad bike safety since a dear family friend was fatally injured at the young age of 12 He spoke at length about safety while having fun and this means wearing a helmet whether you are on a bicycle motorbike quad bike or horse Rob will be wearing a pink ribbon during the Paralympic games to help raise awareness of quad bike safety and the importance of safe head gear

So thatlsquos over 10 years training and dedication travelling by road 20000kms with his partner Manny to qualify 1440kms per week for the last three years and the flight for both of them to London of 16697kms all for a competition that lasts four minutes to achieve his dream I would say that Rob didnlsquot give up How far will you go to achieve your dream

Best of luck Rob and Manny The kids (and us big kids too) are dying to hear about your Paralympic experience when you get back

It is proposed that Councilors will receive business papers and s u p p o r t i n g d o c u m e n t s e l e c t r o n i c a l l y o n c e t h e appropriate techno logy i s

available

An existing policy already allows for use of a range of facilities and devices including mobile or smart phone technology facsimile and computer equipment Eurobodalla Shire and Queanbeyan City Council already use iPads or similar type technology and it is proposed that this trend become more widespread towards the

end of the year

To this end Goulburn Mulwaree plans to amend its policy to allow Councilors to be provided with appropriate technology for the electronic delivery of

Council papers and documents once available

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Paralympian Visits Tarago Public School

I have known Rob for the last 10 years since he decided to take up dressage and aim for the Paralympic level At the time I was working with two equestriennes from the Riding for the Disabled who were trying to get onto the Sydney 2000 paralympic team The competition was very fierce as it was the first ever equestrian event for the Paralympics

I remember the advice that I gave Rob was as there were a lot of politics involved in the selections the best thing he could do was to keep working to make his performance the best and to never never give up Looks like Rob has done just that through the many obstacles and barriers that are found on the road to the Paralympics

Rob has muscular dystrophy and is rated as a 1A Paralympic athlete which means as the most disabled ranking of the four levels he will be competing in the Grade 1 Dressage event which is a walk test of approximately four minutes

Roblsquos horse and partner for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London is Statford Mantovani (Manny) a

(Continued from page 1)

black warmblood stallion owned by Jose and Fay Mendez Roblsquos coaches and is stabled at Marulan

Rob is also passionate about quad bike safety since a dear family friend was fatally injured at the young age of 12 He spoke at length about safety while having fun and this means wearing a helmet whether you are on a bicycle motorbike quad bike or horse Rob will be wearing a pink ribbon during the Paralympic games to help raise awareness of quad bike safety and the importance of safe head gear

So thatlsquos over 10 years training and dedication travelling by road 20000kms with his partner Manny to qualify 1440kms per week for the last three years and the flight for both of them to London of 16697kms all for a competition that lasts four minutes to achieve his dream I would say that Rob didnlsquot give up How far will you go to achieve your dream

Best of luck Rob and Manny The kids (and us big kids too) are dying to hear about your Paralympic experience when you get back

Hello residents and ratepayers

As this may be my last column if I am not re-elected on September 8 I wish to thank you all for your support to

date

Guidelines Policy for Council support for Festivals and Events

and Associated Road Closures

This policy has been placed on public exhibition and is now being further revised to accommodate the needs of the Lilac City Festival Markets in the preferred site of Belmore Park Council staff plan to assist the organisers with improved planning for stall

locations

Other Festivals and Events are to be encouraged to use other venues such as Victoria Park and the Goulburn Recreation Area to name

just two

September Council Meetings

The September meeting schedules are to be revised to allow for the election on September 8 There will not be any planning reports put to the September 4 meeting which may be cancelled and the September 18 meeting will be cancelled and replaced with an Extraordinary Meeting to allow for the completion of the voting count

by September 17

Future Presentation of Council

Business Papers

It is proposed that Councilors will receive business papers and s u p p o r t i n g d o c u m e n t s e l e c t r o n i c a l l y o n c e t h e appropriate techno logy i s

available

An existing policy already allows for use of a range of facilities and devices including mobile or smart phone technology facsimile and computer equipment Eurobodalla Shire and Queanbeyan City Council already use iPads or similar type technology and it is proposed that this trend become more widespread towards the

end of the year

To this end Goulburn Mulwaree plans to amend its policy to allow Councilors to be provided with appropriate technology for the electronic delivery of

Council papers and documents once available

If I am still your representative after September please remember that you can contact me any time on 0248494605 0434216342 or email me at dasturgiactiv8netau

bull Back to School Daylsquo was celebrated in April

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

cut process

wonderful meal at Torpys Restaurant

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Paralympian Visits Tarago Public School

I have known Rob for the last 10 years since he decided to take up dressage and aim for the Paralympic level At the time I was working with two equestriennes from the Riding for the Disabled who were trying to get onto the Sydney 2000 paralympic team The competition was very fierce as it was the first ever equestrian event for the Paralympics

I remember the advice that I gave Rob was as there were a lot of politics involved in the selections the best thing he could do was to keep working to make his performance the best and to never never give up Looks like Rob has done just that through the many obstacles and barriers that are found on the road to the Paralympics

Rob has muscular dystrophy and is rated as a 1A Paralympic athlete which means as the most disabled ranking of the four levels he will be competing in the Grade 1 Dressage event which is a walk test of approximately four minutes

Roblsquos horse and partner for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London is Statford Mantovani (Manny) a

(Continued from page 1)

black warmblood stallion owned by Jose and Fay Mendez Roblsquos coaches and is stabled at Marulan

Rob is also passionate about quad bike safety since a dear family friend was fatally injured at the young age of 12 He spoke at length about safety while having fun and this means wearing a helmet whether you are on a bicycle motorbike quad bike or horse Rob will be wearing a pink ribbon during the Paralympic games to help raise awareness of quad bike safety and the importance of safe head gear

So thatlsquos over 10 years training and dedication travelling by road 20000kms with his partner Manny to qualify 1440kms per week for the last three years and the flight for both of them to London of 16697kms all for a competition that lasts four minutes to achieve his dream I would say that Rob didnlsquot give up How far will you go to achieve your dream

Best of luck Rob and Manny The kids (and us big kids too) are dying to hear about your Paralympic experience when you get back

bull Back to School Daylsquo was celebrated in April

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

cut process

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

in memberslsquo gardens

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

their dormancy

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

An existing policy already allows for use of a range of facilities and devices including mobile or smart phone technology facsimile and computer equipment Eurobodalla Shire and Queanbeyan City Council already use iPads or similar type technology and it is proposed that this trend become more widespread towards the

end of the year

To this end Goulburn Mulwaree plans to amend its policy to allow Councilors to be provided with appropriate technology for the electronic delivery of

Council papers and documents once available

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

cut process

bull In the July meeting members enjoyed a

wonderful meal at Torpys Restaurant

In September a Fashion Parade will be held at the meeting and in October 21st birthday celebrations will

be held

Goulburn Evening VIEW members were fascinated by the talents of Ewin Mathews at the recent August dinner meeting Ewin who has resided in Goulburn for eleven years does the most exquisite thread painting Retired from a computer company and very adept at water colour painting Ewin took up Digitalising Embroidery but not in the regular style he takes

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

It is proposed that Councilors will receive business papers and s u p p o r t i n g d o c u m e n t s e l e c t r o n i c a l l y o n c e t h e appropriate techno logy i s

available

An existing policy already allows for use of a range of facilities and devices including mobile or smart phone technology facsimile and computer equipment Eurobodalla Shire and Queanbeyan City Council already use iPads or similar type technology and it is proposed that this trend become more widespread towards the

end of the year

To this end Goulburn Mulwaree plans to amend its policy to allow Councilors to be provided with appropriate technology for the electronic delivery of

Council papers and documents once available

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

in memberslsquo gardens

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

bull Back to School Daylsquo was celebrated in April

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

cut process

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

their dormancy

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

cut process

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

their dormancy

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

bull Back to School Daylsquo was celebrated in April

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

cut process

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Members were encouraged to get dressed up in their school uniforms but the Finelsquo jar was well used as no one was game enough to produce a school uniform Discussion on changes to schooling over the years proved very interesting with members recalling the use of the cane and the feather duster for the simplest of discretions There was not a lot of money to spend at the canteen but cream buns and choo choo bars were favourites Flavoured milk provided for morning tea was often warm Teachers were remembered both positively and

negatively

bull Kerry Dwyer in May intrigued members with his

tales of being a Master Mariner and Port Master He told of the challenges he faced as a Cadet and in the role of Captain Kerry said running the ship was like looking after an extended family Taking command of the Commonwealth Lighthouse Ship was the highlight of Kerrylsquos

career

bull Julian Laffan in June spoke of successfully

combining his work as a Kindergarten Teacher at St Bedelsquos with his art A gifted wood cut artist Julian gave members a brief history of wood cut before showing tools and explaining the wood

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

in memberslsquo gardens

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

bull Let your seed

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Help Wanted

The TSAI needs YOU

Our annual fundraising event catering for the TLCC Willowglen challenge is on September 29th amp 30th and we are seeking volunteers to help cook and serve the BBQ food No experience is necessary so come along meet some of the locals and help the TSAI to continue to maintain the rec area and support the community Help us to help you Please ring Gill or Neil on 48494221 if you can spare some of your time over the weekend

Our annual and only fundraising event apart from the weekly raffles will be upon us at the end of the month The Toyota Land Cruiser Club Willowglen Challenge will be held on the October long weekend Sept 29th ndash Oct 1st so we are seeking volunteers to assist with the barbeque catering over the Saturday

and Sunday

No experience is necessary as the catering is serving bbq food with cold drinks so please if you have half a day to spare or even a few hours contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Many hands make light work and the weekend is always great fun as well as rewarding as we are located next to some of the best events with all

the thrills and spills of the 4WD athletes

Repairs to the walking track have to be postponed until the finer weather is upon us With the amount of cement mix required the temperature and forecast rain over the next few weeks the committee made the decision to postpone the permanent repairs until we

have favourable drying weather

We have received advice from the Goulburn Mulwaree Council that unfortunately no expressions of interest

were lodged for lease of the Tarago Tennis Courts

With no interest in the Pony Club in the past 9 months it appears that it will close with the first meeting held between the only current member and the past president TSAI will purchase the pony club equipment to ensure that it remains in the community should a group wish to start up equestrian activities in the future I will be researching various equestrian organisations to see if affiliation will be favourable to

the TSAI providing equestrian events in the future

If you can help the TSAI by going on the raffle ticket selling roster then please contact Neil or Gill on 4849 4221 Training is provided and it is a great way to meet the locals visitors and weekend residents We have lost quite a few members of the roster this year

with only one replacement

All proceeds from the raffle got to the maintenance and improvements to the Rec Area and support of

Sport in our community

Ilsquod like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all those people who support us in selling the tickets buying the tickets and especially to Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not only support the raffle with 50 contribution to the Fuel voucher but who also buy $30 worth of tickets every Friday and to Ken Wells who collects the meat and fruit and veg

prizes every week

If you have any questions please contact me on 48494221 or 0419639254 or Email

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

the Tarago Hall

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

What an incredibly busy month it has been since our

last addition to the Tarago Times

Welsquove held a mini-Olympics for five schools had a Paralympian come and talk to the school we have a new lunch area a new principal has been announced and the Coles and Woolworths initiatives have closed

Thatlsquos just to name a few things

A Message from our School Education Director

Dear Parents and Students

I wish to formally inform you of the appointment of your new principal Mr Phillip

Katen

Mr Katen is currently the relieving principal of Breadalbane Public School and comes with a great deal of experience and understanding of the unique needs of small schools Mr Katen will commence as principal on Monday 10th September and I am sure you will make him

welcome

I would also like thank Ms Bronwyn Livesey who has done an excellent job as relieving principal She has worked hard in this role to ensure the smooth running of the school and to establish a high quality learning

environment for the students

Also thank you to Mrs Norris who has been the

full time teacher for years 4-6

Tarago PS is a wonderful community school which will continue to grow and strengthen in

the coming years

Ms Marian Grant

School Education Director

Rob Oakley

It was lovely to have Rob Oakley visit a few weeks ago He came with his daughter Ella and spoke to us about the process he has been through to get into the Olympics He told us about Manny his horse and the importance of wearing helmets when youlsquore on a

horse a quad bike or a motor bike

Rob had some terrific photos to show us of other

Paralympians and of him on his beautiful horse

You can find Mannylsquos Facebook page at Mantovani on

his way to London 2012

GCoPS Concert

During Education Week our year 3-6 students performed as part of the mass choir at the Goulburn Community of Public Schools Concert The concert is held every year in celebration of public education Students travelled in to Goulburn on two occasions to

practice with the other singers from the choir as well as multiple practices each week in class and lots of

practicing at home

Those who went to the show will agree with me when I say that it was a wonderful show and for the repeat attendees it was quite possibly the best show yet Students were intermingled with students from other schools which gave them the opportunity during practices to meet new people and get to know people

outside their usual social circle

New Lunch Area

Welsquove had lots of happy students recently as our lunch

area is finally finished and being used

The new area allows us more opportunity to monitor studentslsquo eating so we can keep a better eye on who is eating their lunch who is not and who is sharing

their food with others

The biggest benefit for the students is that as soon as they have finished their lunch (and yes they have to prove it) they can go and play This means that there are less bored students sitting around waiting for

others to finish their food so they can all go and play

The students seem very pleased with the new area and once we work on a way to enclose the back end and keep some of the cool breeze out it will be

pretty close to perfect

Thanks must go to the PampC for purchasing the new

seats

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

Tarago amp District Landcare group meet on the first Sunday of each month at 915am for a 930am start in

the Tarago Hall

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

Pruning Tips - Shrubs that flower on the tips of shoots (lilacs and rhododendrons) rarely need much pruning unless they grow leggy Shrubs that flower on stems that were new growths last season (Forsythia) should be hard pruned end of spring to encourage new stems during summer and so have plenty of flowers the next year The third class of shrub is that which flowers on short spurs along old wood Cut those back during winter After you prune cover cut with tar honey or flat paint to prevent bleeding and serve as a protection against disease Dont prune conifers azaleas rhododendrons or plants of the Ericaceae

family except to improve their shape

Pumpkin Tips - Plant the seed of pumpkin and squash in a central hollow and train the vines to grow away from it You can then soak the root area without wetting the foliage and fruit or to water pumpkins and plants that do not like overhead watering sink a coffee tin in the ground with holes punched in the sides No need to trench no erosion less weeds

Drains slowly and confines the water to the roots

A lot of storage trouble is caused by bruising of fruit during harvesting so discard pumpkins or squash which are knocked or damaged Injury from cold also causes fruit to break down Keep them in a warm place sitting on straw preferably a shed and away from areas where there are frosts or cold draughts Pumpkins can be packed in straw to insulate them from cold Stand them on their sides so there is less danger of moisture accumulating in the hollow and causing decay Dip stalks in wax immediately they are picked If you want giant crops thread a piece of string through the neck and put ends of string in a tin of water For melons add a tablespoon of sugar to the

water

Rabbits - If rabbits are nibbling the bark off your trees smear them with Stockholm tar as high as the rabbit is likely to reach Trail a mixture of creosote and sand around your garden or individual beds Rabbits dislike the smell and wont cross over it If rabbits are eating your raspberries (or bark off your fruit trees) put a chunk of liver in a bucket of hot water for half an hour Strain and spray the liquid onto the brambles or tree trunks (or rub pieces of liver directly on the trunks) or try powdering your plants with cheap talcum powder Other pests hate it too

HANDY HINTS Taken from

TAKE 5 Top Tips

Just a short note this month with winter well and truly underway and glimpselsquos of spring starting to show itlsquos timely that our group start to plan and map out our next phase of the Tarago Hall garden planting in time

for spring

At our last meeting we discussed the types of planting and what look we are looking to achieve to demonstrate best planting for folks in town and out in

the district farms

A few themes we are looking to incorporate into the

garden are

bull Edible natives (Bush Tucker)

bull Local endemic species and other natives that do

well in our region and also in keeping with the Goulburn Mulwaree Councillsquos planning

specifications

bull Plants that up hold the heritage value of past

street-scaping with a European feel

At our meeting in September we will finalise our plan for submission to council for approval and then we can

start to acquire our plant stock for planting

New Members

August saw the addition to our numbers with Stephen Quilkey and Anne Lyons both from Curra lane out near Nirvalley Nursery We welcome Stephen and Anne to the group and look forward to their involvement and

contribution of knowledge on Landcare issues

Working Bee

Our next working bee will follow our meeting on the 2nd of September We will finish off the timber edging at the Hall garden and then over for some garden maintenance at the Recreation Grounds car park Members are urged to bring along tools barrows for

the maintenance tasks

Landcare Christmas breakup

This is a call out to members to get your thinking caps

on for a location for our Chrismas party this year

Meetings dates

Meetings dates for the next few months are as follows

bull September 2nd - Tarago Hall

bull October 7th - Tarago Hall

bull November 4th - Tarago Hall

bull December 2nd - Final Meeting for 2012

Also keep in mind that if you have any Landcare issues that need solutions on your property please come down and get involved at a working bee or monthly meeting meet others that have overcome similar

challenges and learn how to regenerate your land

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

WATER BIRD SURVEY IN JULY 2012 Michael Lenz our wonderful water bird expert from Canberra has been surveying Lake George again along with our members Ruth and Sue Corrigan and has recorded the following as the highlights Among the water birds we recorded at the end of July three species I was very pleased to see were Freckled Duck one of the rarer ducks in our area it appears rather irregularly usually seen in drought years when Lake George has water but not for a number of years now (there were a few earlier on Lake Bathurst and also some there in July) Always a good one to see

Pink-eared Duck a common duck of inland waters but over the last couple of months again back in our area A delightful species they chatter a lot

Hardhead They are regularly recorded but often only in small numbers However for the last 3 months or so they are here in larger numbers than usual In other years there were also good numbers but the birds tended to stay around for only a limited period This year however large numbers have stayed for several months now Hopefully all this indicates that these species may have had a good breeding season over the last two years on inland water and are now dispersing more widely ()

Michael and his group also record woodland birds that

they see around the Lake I mentioned that I was very

pleased to see the Flame Robin was listed in a few of

the sites that he visited as I have not seen any this

winter on ―Sunnybrook He said they have been

reported this season in varying but usually relatively

low numbers A COG group saw ten in July near Silver

Wattle on the Western side of the Lake

You could almost been forgiven for thinking spring had sprung early upon arriving at Irene and Lloydlsquos peaceful Oallen property Daffodils danced in the light breeze and the warm sun beat down on our backs allowing the sweet aroma of morning dew to rise from

the grass beneath our feet

As you begin to stroll around the grounds the sound of gentle bleats baalsquos and chatter of budgies emerge and it becomes obvious the pair are animal lovers They have created a haven for small farm creatures complete with baby lambs trotting around their motherslsquo feet a cheeky goat that likens himself to Houdini and a resident kangaroo willing to take the

grass from your hand

The gardens have been developed over a number of years to meet with the climatic conditions favourites such as a magnificent Magnolia Grandiflora are getting ready to burst into flower and we take turns to

breathe in the sweet perfume of the honeysuckle

Quirky ornaments draw the eye and inject a spark of personality into several areas of the property with fun

signage delighting visitors to the garden

We admired Irenelsquos thriving vegetable patch which consisted of a number of well netted raised beds spilling over with broad beans bok choy and other winter fare and then it was time for our twenty four strong crowd to go inside and talk about our gardens

over a delicious feast of homemade cakes

During our meeting we were informed that the time to prune back roses is now fertilising and spraying to prevent common problems such black spot is also recommended Apart from the never ending fight with weeds the cold has kept us mostly inside this month and there were thankfully very few problems to report

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning

bull Have you thought

about buying some Dahlias for a wonderful summer display Mine give me months of cut

flowers

bull Let your seed

potatoes start to shoot before planting Start looking for which variety you would like and buy

now

bull Aphids wonlsquot be far away as plants start putting

out their new soft growth Watch your citrus and roses Spray aphids with soapy water or

squash them with your fingers

bull When fertilising your fruit trees follow this

ratio method

500gms 1 year old eg 15kg 3 years old Up to

5 years of age

Once they are 5 years you will be adding 25kg of fertilizer per tree per year This should be divided into 3 feeds This is the optimum

amount of fertilizer that fruit trees require

You could use a bought product as well as aged animal manure The addition of potash dolomite or Epsom salts would be beneficial for the trees too Your wood ash

can be sprinkled around these trees too

bull Fertilize your spring bulbs as they emerge from

their dormancy

bull Start thinking about your vegetable patch Get

it turned over now

Faith By Malui Tolar

Without faith we would cease to exist in any fundamental manner It is faith that binds the pieces together when we are falling apart When we are facing unreal and difficult circumstances Even if it is in the form of the most miniscule and infinitesimal amount We have a chance of reaching for and finding that luminescent light At the end of that exhaustingly arduous tunnel of a journey that feels as though it will never end If we have this in our heart mind soul and our being then at least we have a fighting chance A chance to grow and to develop in ways we would never have imagined If it werenlsquot for that particular experience life has and continues to offer us

JULY MEETING

George Gundry spoke with great enthusiasm at the July meeting about paddock planning for increased productivity and resilience His presentation centred

a r o u n d photographs o f a n e x i s t i n g p a d d o c k w h e r e straight line fencing had a l l o w e d stock access to a central water point but had also allowed the animals to

take the shortest route directly uphill causing tracking and soil compaction with the potential for erosion

occurring along the tracks

Further photos showed how redesigning the fencing to follow the contours of the paddock would encourage the stock to move in a more dispersed manner across the slope of the land Tree lines can be easily incorporated into the contour fence design which also improves biodiversity and provides greater areas of shelter for

stock

With the new contour line fence any point in the fence can be lifted to move the c o w s through to the next a r e a eliminating the possibility of soil compaction and tracking Expect to see curving and wavy fence lines

as more of us move to contour paddock planning
