THE battering by ex-tropical cycloneOswald has cost the Scenic Rim

Regional Council almost half a milliondollars just to clear up trees and othervegetation on Tamborine Mountain.In a question and answer session at a

recent Tamborine Mountain Chamber ofCommerce lunch, Council’s InfrastructureServices Director, Patrick Murphy, saidthat while the final calculations had yet tobe done, the green waste pick-up fromparks and footpaths on the Mountain wasedging towards $500,000.A guest speaker at the lunch at Cedar

Creek Wineries, Scenic Rim Mayor, JohnBrent, said he stood by his previousremarks that it made a lot of sense toremove trees from around power linesalong roads and streets.“I’m not talking about wholesale

bulldozing as some people are implying,”said Cr Brent.“I’m talking about practical and sensible

measures that will help maintain theintegrity of electricity supply to theMountain.”His view was strongly supported by

many of the 40 guests at the lunch, as wellas senior Energex personnel, who said thattrees near power lines posed the biggestthreat to the integrity of the Mountain’s

power supply.Energex believed

that many peoplewere planting thewrong types oftrees beneathpower lines.In the past two

years, some $9million had beenspent by Energexon improving theelectricity system’sreliability on Tamborine Mountain but thatwithout clearing trees from around powerlines the area would still suffer powerinterruptions.Chamber president, Chris Kite, said that

the answer to Tamborine Mountain’selectricity problems would be solved bythe installation of underground powerlines.While acknowledging the high cost of

underground installation of power lines,Mr Kite said it was imperative that a startbe made as soon as possible.He was strongly supported in his views

on underground power by Warren Mortonwho said: “If we don’t make a start now,we’ll be sitting here in 20 years time stilldiscussing it.”

IT’S said that if you want to get ahead,get a hat, and no more so when it comesto an Easter bonnet parade.In the countdown to the school holidays,

there was plenty of egg-citement asstudents from the Mountain’s schools andkindergartens paraded their Easter bonnets.There were sensational confections

trimmed with confectionery and bold andbeautiful bonnets to turn a mad hatter’shead.This is how children and teachers from

Coleman Square CommunityKindergarten, St Bernard State School andTamborine Mountain State Schoolprepared to celebrate Easter.

WEATHER reports usuallymention low and high

pressure systems, fronts andtroughs because these termsrelate to atmospheric airpressure which is a majordriver of wind and weather.Air pressure at any point is

the total weight of the airabove that point. This isdetermined by the number of moleculespresent. Dense humid air contains moremolecules than less dense, dry air andtherefore exerts more pressure.One cubic metre of air weighs about one

kilogram. At the surface of the earth, this isabout 10,000kg (10 tonnes) per squaremetre, or 14lb per square inch. Pressure canbe expressed in millibars, the height inmillimetres, of a column of mercury neededto balance the weight of the air in a mercurybarometer; or as hectopascals which is theinternational unit for measuring atmosphericpressure (1hPa = 100 Pascals = 1mb). At sealevel normal air pressure is 1013.25mb.Due to unequal heating, the atmospheric

air pressure also becomes unequal, and thepressure gradient created by this inequalitycreates air movement, wind and weather.Parcels of air that are homogenous areas

of pressure, temperature and humidity aresubject to processes which can transformthem into areas of low or high pressure.Low pressure systems are formed when a

parcel of air is lifted. As the air rises, thepressure falls, causing expansion, whichpushes back against the surrounding airwhich expends energy causing the air parcelto lose heat. The rising air spirals inward ina clockwise direction in the SouthernHemisphere (anti-clockwise in NorthernHemisphere). As the air cools, water vapour

condenses, causingclouds, precipitation,storms and high winds.The clouds act as ablanket so low pressuresystems do not haveextremes oftemperatures.High pressure systems

are formed when a parcelof air sinks down. As the air subsides, it issubject to compressional heating by thesurrounding air which evaporates watervapour and dries the air parcel. The sinkingair spirals outwards in an anti-clockwisedirection in the Southern Hemisphere(clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere).High pressure systems are associated withclear skies and dry weather, because thereare no clouds to blanket the atmosphere.High pressure systems have more extremesof temperatureAcross the globe there are several

consistently low and high pressure regions:Equatorial low – 0-10°, sub-tropical high –20-35 degrees, sub-polar low 60°, polar high90°. Air pressure is also an important factorin the creation of regular cyclical weatherpatterns such as the monsoons.High and low pressure systems are mobile

and move over the Earth’s surface. Theleading edges between the moving air massesare delineated as cold or warm fronts.Weather maps indicate pressure as isobars

drawn at 4hPa intervals, black arrowsindicate wind direction, barbed lines showcold with the barbs indicating the directionof movement.Birdwalk – Wed 17/5 Coombabah LakelandsBushwalk – Sat 13/5 – Border Track

THE police news reported fortnightly inthe Tamborine Mountain News is just

one way we endeavour to keep ourcommunity informed about what we are upto or what has occurred in the NorthTamborine Police division of late.Probably the most significant event that

will occur for us in the near future will bethe closing down of the Coomera PoliceDistrict. This in no way will affect the wayin which we respond to jobs or the way wedo business or interact with this community.Two super police districts will be created inthe South East Police region which we havealways been a part of: namely the LoganPolice District and the Gold Coast PoliceDistrict. Our station will return to theguardianship of the Logan Police Districtand life will go on as usual.TAKE CAREAGAINST BREAKANDENTER OFFENCESSergeant Jones has asked me to just

remind readers to be aware that we do havethieves who visit the mountain from time totime, and that break and enter offences dooccur on the Mountain. Please lock yourdoors and set your alarms when not athome. But also keep a lookout foruninvited intruders even when you are athome, as we have had a few “sneak type”burglaries in recent times. If you are goingon holidays or will be away for a period oftime please inform a trusted neighbour orfamily member to keep an eye on yourhome, or inform us and we can make patrolsin your area.SAFE DRIVING OVER EASTERI have to say that conducting traffic

patrols on the Mountain has become adelight recently with very few trafficoffences being detected. I personally wouldlike to thank drivers for driving safely (onthe whole) during these Easter schoolholidays as I have attended no trafficcrashes during this period. I will not get theopportunity to advise drivers about roadsafety in the school zones before school re-

commences Monday, so please just takecare in the 40km/hr zones next week.DOCUDRAMAMIRRORS REALLIFESITUATIONRecently, Police, Ambulance and the Fire

Service were invited to the TamborineMountain State High School to take part inthe annual docudrama event. Thedocudrama depicts a mock traffic crash inwhich a number of young persons areinvolved in a car crash where alcohol isinvolved. The driver is breath tested and asa result of that test is arrested for a drinkdriving offence, a number of youngpassengers are treated by paramedics at thescene and later conveyed to hospital; fireofficers are forced to cut open a vehicle toretrieve an injured person from a twistedwreck and one person is unfortunatelypronounced dead at the scene. The actorsare all students studying drama at the highschool, complete with makeup, skilled up intheir roles and with the appropriatedocudrama attitudes (drink driver abusive,argumentative and non co-operative withpolice, subsequently handcuffed). Ofcourse it’s all make believe, but it couldhappen and it does happen with seeminglyrepetitive outcomes. A number of otherpeople always attend the docudramas andtheir input – though less dramatic than fireengines, ambulances and police vehiclesattending with lights and sirens – is just asor even more important in the aftermath of atragic incident. I am talking about thelawyers/solicitors, doctors and funeralundertakers who were on hand to answerquestions and explain their roles to theGrade 12 students attending the docudrama.A number of the students were quite upsetafter viewing the docudrama and it wasgood to see teachers and other students andtheir mates supporting each other.However, if just one young driver walksaway from that docudrama and takes on thenotion not to drink and drive, we have doneour job. Thanks to all involved.

THERE are hopes within the Canungracommunity that one of Australia’s

premier training facilities, Patinack Farm,will be sold as a going concern asembattled mining magnate Nathan Tinklerprepares to jettison his horse racinginterests.Patinack Farm can accommodate more

than 300 horses and there were fears itsloss would deal a major blow to the localeconomy.There were reports last week that some

150 employees could potentially be out ofwork and that local suppliers would suffera loss in trade.However, Scenic Rim Deputy Mayor and

Division 3 Councillor, Virginia West, wasamong those hopeful that Patinack Farmwould find a buyer as some interest hadalready been expressed in the property.“It is a fabulous asset for the Canungra

area and I personally hope that it can besold and continue to operate as a goingconcern,” she said.

Hope grows that local horse facility will rideout financial storm to remain a going concern

Mean-hearted theftdisappoints Ashleigh

FOR more than a year Ashleigh Cooper, aTamborine Mountain Year 9 student, has

been working hard collecting and baggingmanure to sell outside her home nearTamborine Village to earn money for theupkeep of her much loved horse.Every weekend Ashleigh spends close to

two and a half hours working on herproject. Recently, however, she againbecame the victim of a mean and heartlessact when 10 bags of horse manure, eachselling for the modest sum of $2, werestolen from in front of her driveway.Ashleigh uses an honesty box for people

to deposit the money for the bags they buy.In this case the bags were all taken and nomoney left.This is a low and despicable act that has

occurred more than once in the last fewmonths. A disappointed Ashleigh said thatsome people leave less than the correctamount in the honesty box, and others donot pay at all. She hopes that everyone whotakes the bags of manure in future will behonest and pay for what they take.

support the region’s small businesscommunity and shop locally.Member for Beaudesert Jon Krause said:

“Every dollar spent at one of our localsmall businesses stays local, and has adirect benefit to our region.Small Business Minister, Jann Stuckey,

who launched the Buy Locally Campaignwith Premier Campbell Newman, said thecampaign was supported by the Chamberof Commerce and Industry Queensland.The Chamber’s CEO, Stephen Tait, said

United planningscheme in thepipelineTHE first step has been taken towards the

development of a unified planningscheme for the Scenic Rim region.Council has adopted the commencement

report for the project, marking thebeginning of a three-year process to draftthe new document.Since the formation of the Scenic Rim

region in 2008, the council has beenoperating under three separate planningschemes: the Beaudesert Shire PlanningScheme 2007, Boonah Planning Scheme2006 and the Ipswich Planning Scheme2006. A single scheme is expected to bringconsistency.Planning and Development Committee

chair, Cr Jennifer Sander, said extensivecommunity consultation would beundertaken throughout the different stagesof the project.

COUNCIL has adopted a 10-yearstrategy for the management of its land

holdings throughout the region.Council currently holds 580 parcels of

open space that have been set aside for thecommunity either by the State, whereCouncil acts as trustee, or which isadministered by the organisation asfreehold or leasehold property.These parcels include land for

community use, such as parks, sportingfields, swimming pools, camping groundsand council facilities, through to landsuitable for future residential, industrial orcommercial development.“This strategy has been developed to

ensure Council’s significant bank of landholdings is managed in an effectivemanner,” said Council’s Corporate andCommunity Services Committee chair,Cr Nigel Waistell.

CORPORATE PLANThe Scenic Rim Regional Council draftcorporate plan extends from 2013 to 2018 sothe public only has an opportunity to makecomments on a corporate plan every fiveyears. Thanks to community members andcommunity associations who providedfeedback on the current draft corporate plan.The next stage is for a review of the draftdocument which includes consideration ofthe points raised by the community. e-NEWSIndividuals and associations who wish to keep informed of SRRCnews by receiving emails can subscribe to news@scenicrimthrough SRRC website.CHEMICAL COLLECTION PROGRAMChemclear provides agricultural and veterinary chemical userswith a collection and disposal pathway for their unwantedchemicals.

ROADSIn response to frequent complaints I have received fromTamborine Mountain and Tamborine constituents about the traffichazards and road degradation caused by the daily procession ofwater tankers travelling Tamborine Mountain roads to service asmall number of water extraction businesses, I wrote to theMinister of Transport and Main Roads. In response I have beeninformed that TMR acknowledges that the heavy vehicle advisorysignage currently in place can cause confusion to motorists andthat it plans to conduct a review of this signage on State-controlled roads leading to Tamborine Mountain. At present thesesigns are merely advisory, and are currently being ignored by thewater tankers. Unless the signage changes to become enforceableit is difficult to envisage how a signage review alone can alleviateeither the problems or public concerns.On a more positive note there are plans to improve a number ofintersections along Mundoolin Connection Road.Further information about roads can be obtained from Departmentof Main Roads website www.tmr.qld.gov.au telephone 131940.ANGER AT NAME CHANGE REQUESTA request to change the name of parts of Tamborine and CedarCreek to “Upper Yarrabilba” has been made to the StateGovernment. Although the area is within Logan City Councilboundaries, neighbouring residents of Scenic Rim Division 2 areangry and concerned not only at the possibility of the renamingbut also that they have had to take the time and effort to makesubmissions to counter a request by a corporation, acting in itsown interest, to re-brand existing localities.

FOLLOWING its highly successful BodyTransformation Challenge last year,

MainFitness gym is about to launch a brandnew 12-week challenge that is open to allages and physical abilities.You definitely don’t have to be a gym

junkie or the fittest member of thecommunity to enter.Winners will be selected according to

their individual transformation. This caninclude body fat loss, lean muscle gain,increased strength and endurance, andimproved cardio vascular fitness.Five personal trainers will be on hand at

the state-of-the-art gym to supportparticipants on their journey towards a newand improved version of themselves.A MainFitness spokesman said that last

year’s challenge had produced someoutstanding results for those who took part.He said that one of the key benefits of

committing to an organised group challengeand working towards a goal with like-minded people was that individuals weremore likely to stay focused and achieve theresults they wanted.Other new offerings at the gym include

Beginner and Immediate Circuit classes andPilates classes.The Beginner and Immediate Circuit

classes are best suited to participants whoare:• novices to classes or just starting backwith a fitness regime,

• new to classes in general and would liketo spend more time focused on teachingtechnique and terminology, and

• are of an older age or simply prefer towork at a slower pace.These classes are regarded as an excellent

way to combine all forms of fitness in onesession to get an all-over body workout.Many people have discovered the benefits

of Pilates as a unique method of bodyconditioning that integrates muscle control,breathing, flexibility, strength training andbody awareness. By dropping into the gym,you can find out all about the Pilatesclasses. If it is not possible to get to classes,personal training time can be booked.For MainFitness opening hours and

general information, go towww.mainfitness.com.u

HOSPITAL life has been made a littleeasier for premature babies and

cancer patients, thanks to TamborineMountain Lions’ recent sewing bees. Aclub member’s involvement in a sewinggroup led to the Lions’ involvement in theproject, with three successful workingbees already completed and anotherplanned for the middle of the year.

Bags have been made for patients under-going chemotherapy as well as ‘premmiepods’, used in neonatal units in hospitalsin Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast.“Premmie pods are used in humidicribs

in neonatal units to give babies a sense ofsecurity and to allow the baby to be liftedwith all the tubes still attached,” clubmember Frances Dempsey explained.

TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN WASTETRANSFER FACILITY

Last October, Council unveiled morethan $300,000 worth of

improvements to the TamborineMountain Waste Transfer Facility onKnoll Road.These significant improvements, which

provide the local community with a first-class waste facility, ensure the long-termviability of the Knoll Road site for thepurposes of green and general wastedisposal.The establishment of a temporary green

waste facility at the corner of Long andHartley Roads following the AustraliaDay long weekend storm was onlyrequired due to the unprecedentedvolume of green waste and debris createdby ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald.Suggestions a separate and new green

waste facility is required on the Mountainbased on massive short-term demandgenerated by a natural disaster do nothold weight. It is unreasonable to assessthe Knoll Road site against such ameasure.Council’s decision to remain at the

Knoll Road site for the foreseeable futurewas by no means an arbitrary one. Issuesrelating to the site, particularlysurrounding tenure, date back almost adecade. Eventually nine options werecomprehensively investigated beforeCouncil’s decision in August 2011 tocontinue operating at the site over thelong term.This lengthy assessment process

involved substantial consultation with

residents, stakeholders and the StateGovernment. Their feedback and concernswere all taken into account in Council’sdecision-making. I acknowledge there arethose in the community who continue tohold an opposing view to Council’sdecision, as is their right.However, having undertaken a

comprehensive consultation andassessment process in 2011 andsubsequently delivered a $300,000 plusoutcome to the community in 2012, theissue has reached its conclusion.Ultimately any additional transfer facilityon the Mountain would be a costlyendeavour for both Council and ScenicRim ratepayers, with the outcome ofduplicating a service that Council hasmade a significant investment to provideelsewhere.It is time for us to move forward and

focus on other matters of importance tothe Mountain.FLYING FOX POPULATIONSCouncil continues to consider its options

with regard to the management of flyingfox populations across the Scenic Rim andwill deliver a plan by the end of April toprovide clear direction on this issue.State legislation provides a range of

management tools to local governmentand primary producers to reduce theimpact of flying fox activity.At the core of any management

measures adopted will be a commitment toensuring the health and safety of theScenic Rim community, balanced againstthe need to provide a habitat for our nativewildlife.This is a complex issue. However, what

is abundantly clear is that large flying foxcolonies are incompatible with residentialareas.Our plan will align with the prevailing

community sentiment in relation to thepresent and future management of flyingfox populations.

TIM Lyne was born in Sydney onDecember 12, 1964. He attended the

South St Ives Primary School and, at theage of 10, entered the Knox GrammarPrep School. He then moved to theUpper School, where he made goodfriends, and was well liked by the staffand students. Tim was no great academic,nor did he excel on the sporting field, buthe impressed the teachers with hisopenness and honesty.At the end of 1981 Tim, aged 17,

relocated with his parents Brian andWendy to Mount Tamborine. Oncesettled after the move, he attended GattonAgricultural College, where he obtainedhis Diploma in Horticulture in 1986.During his time at the college, Tim met

Robyn Gerrard who was also studyingthe horticulture course two years behindhim. They married in 1989 and moved toBrisbane where they were both employedby a horticultural company, with Tim asmanager of the landscape maintenanceworks at Sanctuary Cove.In 1994, Tim went on to start his own

horticultural consultancy business. Heset up an office at Eagle Heights afterfinding working from homeunsatisfactory, partly due to the arrival ofDaniel in 1996, Ellen 1998, and Sammyin 2000. The business started to grow,and Tim became involved in developingmaintenance schedules for the RomaStreet Parklands and the Sydney OlympicGames site, together with the design ofparklands and streetscapes for the PacificPines development on the Gold Coast.His many projects included a consultancyto Ipswich City Council, advising on themaintenance of the region’s many parks.Here on the mountain, Tim was

involved in the growth of St George’sAnglican Church. He was always presentat any working bees, subject to his ownwork times, was the clown and/or MC ata number of Spring Fairs, and a leader ina Youth Group in the early eighties. Timserved as a member of Parish Counciland was Priest’s Warden for some twoyears, showing great sensitivity andleadership during that time.In 2008, Tim turned his business mind

to new challenges, joining forces withothers to assist in the growth anddevelopment of an informationtechnology company providing ITsolutions to businesses. Tim never hadany computer training, was self-taught,and a marvel in his knowledge andability with computers.

Soon after, as the business was startingto grow, he was diagnosed with MotorNeurone Disease (MND) in February2011, and he had to retire. This diseaseaffects the neurons in the braincontrolling the muscles and over a two-year period Tim’s disabilities wereconstantly changing. The patterns ofweakness vary from person to personwith MND. Within a year, as Tim’smuscles gradually weakened and wasted,he lost the ability to walk. Within 18months he could no longer swallow andwithin two years he had lost the abilityto speak. The cause of MND is notknown and there is no cure. Only 48years old, Tim passed away peacefully athome on March 15 from respiratoryfailure. His funeral was held at StGeorge’s Anglican Church, which hadbeen a great part of Tim’s life, and hewas buried at the Tamborine MountainCemetery.Tim’s family are very thankful for the

beautiful people who supported them andtravelled the journey with them – fromtheir prayers to practical assistance inevery way possible.The Motor Neurone Disease

of Number Plates stolen from vehicles.Some of the stolen number plates are being used to evade

identification in various crimes such as stealing of petrol androbbery or to avoid paying tolls. When a number plate is stolenit can quite often result in great inconvenience to the victim,such as: reporting the matter to police; the possible numerousstatutory declarations & letters to explain that it was not yourvehicle involved when the stolen plate is photographed on a

speeding vehicle or going through a toll booth.

CRIME PREVENTION INITIATIVE – FREE OF CHARGEAs part of our Crime Prevention Initiative we are offering tosupply and fit FREE of charge, one way screws to secure

number plates of patrons’ vehicles. When this type of screw isfitted it makes the removal of the number plate very difficult,

deterring the theft of that number plate.

Tamborine Mountain rainfall for March, 2013

THIS March was another wet month following on the very wet January andFebruary. Fern St recorded 238mm. This gives a total of 1370mm for the first

quarter of 2013 which figure is the third highest for the three months after 2603mmin 1974 and 1834mm in 1947. At Fern St the expected March rain is 155mm and theaverage is 192mm. The SOI has been within +10 and -10 for most of the year which encompassed a

very dry period and a very wet period. These values of the SOI indicated aprobability of 50 percent drier or wetter than average; in other words average rainfall.It is a good example of probabilities. ‘Probable’ means likely but that likelihood isnot always met. So for the last year the rainfalls weren’t always what were likely.From the 14th there was a broad cloud mass over SE Queensland with embedded

lows which coalesced off-shore and gave us a drenching. Another trough into theupper atmosphere brought more rain from the 24th to almost the end of the month.

Long-horned (longicorn) Beetle – Tricheops ephippiger, garage, Eagle Heights.

SEEING things that others don’t is supposedly part of my stock in trade. Alas, I havefrequently proved to myself that I am a master at not registering things in plain view. I

mention this because for years I passed a garage on my daily walk, never noticing themoths, some easily visible from the road, resting there on the morning after the nightbefore, thanks to the outside lights being left on overnight. Among the moths I have seenstick insects, spiders, caterpillars, cicadas, mantids, ants and on a few occasions, a coupleof specimens of this superb, bright yellow beetle.

fonts and layout changes, I particularlyenjoy Nadia O’Carroll’s column – nice tolook forward to these well-researched,well-written, interesting and topicalarticles.

the Tamborine Mountain swimming pool onBeacon Road on a regular basis. I am verysad the pool has been closed now. I want tocommend and thank the staff of the pool,Donna, Leah and Zoe Norton and Aaron

Benett, for their professionalism in workingwith children and adults, friendliness andoutstanding maintenance of the pool.For me and my family the swimming

pool has been a great way to be physicallyactive and I can recommend swimminghere for all mountain residents when itopens again in September this year.

RETURN OF KOALA A REASON FOREXCITEMENTAfter having the last of our colony of

koalas wiped out by feral predators, mainlyfoxes, over a year ago, we were excited tohave this one arrive this morning and hope itwill stick around. We have been battlingNational Parks for years to re-introduce foxbaiting around the escarpment to protect ourground dwelling wildlife but nothing isbeing done and koalas, wallabies,pademelons, echidnas, bandicoots etc arebeing completely wiped out.This lack of action is devaluing our

unique wilderness and from a commercialpoint of view, making what was once anexciting place to visit, very boring. Seeingwildlife in its natural state is one of thegreatest aspects and drawcards ofecotourism. Add to that the vital importanceof preservation.Over the border in northern NSW they are

running fox baiting programs in areas more

densely settled than Tamborine Mountainand getting good results. They widelyadvertise where it is taking place so thelocals are aware and can control their petsso they are not affected by the program.Now, if they can do it why can't we?

GLOBAL WARMING:PREDICTIONS v REALITYIn 1988, James Hansen, the head climate

scientist of NASA Giss, made threeprediction scenarios of near-future globalwarming during an address to the USCongress where he selected the hottest dayof summer and then turned off the airconditioning to embellish his points.These predictions of global warming

depended on the degree of our emission ofman made CO2.Since that day our CO2 emissions havespiralled exponentially, courtesy ofemerging economies as well as the rest ofthe world’s increases [in other wordsbusiness as usual] and will continueunabated for the foreseeable future.But what has happened to “global

warming”?

Well to put it simply, our warming hasbeen less than one quarter of the warmingpredicted for a business-as-usual scenario.Our warming is even less than that

predicted for us under the “stop-all-emissions-immediately” scenario!Our net warming is 0.22°C since those

famous predictions in 1988!Hansen 88 is the keystone of the

Catastrophic Man Made [anthropogenic]Global Warming [CAGW] enterprise thathas cost the world’s battlers trillions.It has caused our young impressionable

minds to be brainwashed in schools, andseen the wiping out of pristine rainforests aswell as huge environmental vandalism inthe name of ”carbon credits” etc.Today’s global average temperature that

hasn’t risen for the last 15 years clearlydebunks that foolish CAGW theory.

Blending accommodation with cuisine

THE Escarpment Retreat and Day Spa has joined forces withTamborine Cooking School to further enhance the hinterland’s

food and wine trail.“Marrying accommodation with food is just so logical,” says

Gary Poole, award-winning owner of The Escarpment, located onAlpine Terrace.“The lush volcanic soil on the mountain is unique to the area

which is what makes the mountain so outstanding for food. Thereare already wineries, food schools, fantastic restaurants, a breweryand cheese factory, organic vegetable markets and local cottageindustries making their own unique products.“Our message is to try to get people to stay longer, because that

is the only way they can really soak up all of these unique andcreative attractions.”The Escarpment is heavily subsidising mid-week cooking class

fees for guests who stay two nights. Course participants will onlypay half the normally $120 per person fee.The eight course classes are run by professional chef and

experienced teacher, Terri Taylor, who uses local produce to makedelicious Mediterranean, modern Australian and Asian dishes.Guests will sit down for a sumptuous meal after the classes.
