New Bushcare Group gets down and dirty!

With the spirit of Clean Up Australia in the wind, a group of Headland Park residents decided it would be timely to start a long-term conservation project to improve a stand of original old-growth bushland near Deloraine Drive.

On the initiative of four families who for the previous two years adopted and worked in the Wilgan Lane Reserve nearby, Maroochy Shire Council offered the expertise of Nick Wills from Greening Australia to oversee their fortnightly working bees. Nick advises the volunteers on weed control, indigenous vs. invasive plants, wildlife corridors and sustainable replanting. Like 24 other local bushcare groups, such as the Foote Sanctuary and Maroochy Botanic Gardens groups, these projects will continue after council amalgamation in March.

“90% of our work is weed removal, many of which have taken hold after illegal dumping of exotic garden species, ” says co-ordinator John King. “Lantana, Singapore daisy and camphor laurels have also infiltrated. By removing these unfriendly species the native trees and shrubs, such as the majestic Rose or Flooded Gums can regenerate. Council also provides seedlings of local plants which we plant, especially on the reserve edges which are prone to infestation.”

The group expects its work to take at least two years to complete. The 4 hectare reserve extends from Deloraine Drive playground to Cumberland Way along a creek feeding into the Maroochy River catchment. Since council built a cycling and walking path integrating it with access to Maroochy Boulevard, many locals use it for recreation and non-motorised transport.

As well as getting down and dirty, the community conservation members hope that their work will educate people everywhere not to dump garden waste in reserves, plus create appreciation by beautifying an existing natural area. “On our first day we found a cache of reptile eggs and a rather lost scrub turkey chick. At Wilgan Lane we encountered wallabies, ducks, frogs and an echidna, emphasising these areas’ value as habitats.

The group meets at 9am every first and third Thursday of the month at Deloraine Drive playground. It’s amazing how much is achieved in only four hours per month. Helpers are always welcome.

Buderim Community Christmas Carols 16th December

The Carols by Candlelight event on Buderim is a much loved highlight of the local community calendar, attended by thousands of families across the Mountain and beyond. This year the Carols will be held on Sunday, December the 16th from 6pm at the Buderim Mountain School Oval.

The event is staged thanks to the personal efforts of many locals, businesses, and community groups, giving their time, talents and financial support to ensure the Carols is a success. Last year the rain caused a postponement of a week, but the final result saw Buderim treated to an outstanding theatrical show and public caroling. This consolidated the all new entertainment format into the seasonal calendar.

This year a whole new Christmas Story will be told by the crew of "That's Entertainment" to thrill both young and old, we will just have to rely on the Archdeacon for better weather!The Buderim Carols by Candlelight offers an outstanding opportunity for you to promote your business to locals and visitors. You can enjoy the advantages of such positive promotion shared by The Maroochy Councillors, Joyce Mayne Discounts, buderim.com, BWMCA, Limehouse Press, BNC Financial Services and Acclaim Apprentices and Trainees, when you buy a sponsorship promotional package. There are still opportunities available, but be quick to take full advantage of all pre-promotion.

The committee is calling on anyone who would like to volunteer their time to help on the night, we need people to hand out the songsheets and collect the gold coin donation at the entry points, plus people to help with the chairs and set up. Please contact Steve on 0416 234 838 for more details on sponsorship or volunteering.
