It can be a link in a chain reaction that can have an impact beyond expectation. How do we make choices that sustain the sur- vival of species in a fragile environment? Can people-power influence decisions made at three levels of government, local, state and federal? Can we change the atti- tudes of a self-indulgent society that be- lieves a sea-view is more important than retaining a natural area? Have we lost our connection with nature in our quest for financial security and greed? Are we caught up in the rat-race and blind to the wonder around us? Can we make time to step outside in the rain to find the diamonds in a spider’s web? We cannot appreciate what we haven’t experienced. How blessed are those who have had close encounters with wildlife, be it flora or fauna! Our Nature Walks, our Nature in the Library talks, our Wildlife-friendly Gardens Workshops and other pro- jects, our submissions on various legislation, our provision of a university prize, our monthly newspaper column, and our membership of other conservation groups — hopefully public awareness is increasing due to the efforts of our Branch. Sustainability starts in our own backyards. The Indian mynahs are checking out the trap in my backyard. The feral cat has been trapped. I think I can live without using single-use plastic bags: I’ve been practising for years! And I’m going camping again soon. Care to join me? ● Audrey Sorensen, President Wildlife Queensland Fraser Coast – Activity Report 6 January - 31 March 2018 Walks, Talks, Workshops and other events • Our Nature Walks program kicked off for 2018 in March with a walk from Gatakers Bay through the mangroves at the mouth of Eli Creek, then return via Parraweena Park. This excellent walk was attended by 35 people. • We held two Nature in the Library talks at the Hervey Bay Library in this quarter: Alan Peebles showed another of his wildlife videos to a packed audience in February. Don and Lesley Bradley spoke about turtles and satellite tracking in March, also to a large audience. • Diane Christensen mounted a display on frogs at the Hervey Bay Library, during the school holidays, to drum up interest for MRCCC's Find a Frog in February. Wambaliman AUTUMN 2018 4 Wildlife Queensland Fraser Coast – Activity Report cont. • Quite a few of our members participated in Find a Frog in February, and had great fun learning about the frogs we saw or heard. • Carol Bussey organised a Butterfly Identification and Butterfly Plants afternoon at Tinana State School on Sunday 11 March, with Kelvin Nielsen as the guest speaker. Seventy three people participated in this, including 6 children. Many thanks to organiser, speaker and helpers. • Six of our members spent a morning with seven visiting Gympie Field Naturalists at Arkarra Lagoons and Mungomery Vine Forest. This excellent 'networking op- portunity' was organised by Cécile Espigolé. A highlight was the two juvenile magpie geese who accompanied us on foot for half the morning, including down a small track going right through to Chiquita Court, and whose quiet chattering confused some of the bird-watchers when they were trying to identify other bird- calls. Communications • Wambaliman SUMMER 2018 issue was released in January. • President Audrey Sorensen has continued to make excellent use of our 10- minute slot on local community radio FM 107.5, at 10 am on the second Tues- day of each month. • Since the Summer break, Rod Jones and Roland Schuller, two of the inaugural Facebook page administrators, have stepped down. Thanks to them both for their input in establishing the page. The arrival of Peter Duck as one of the administrators, with support from Vicki Perrin, has seen a re-energising of the Branch's Facebook page. Meetings and planning • The Executive met on 4 February. • General meetings were held on 18 February and 18 March at the Halcro St Community Centre. Working Groups, Advisory Groups and other groups • Rodney Jones attended meetings of the FCRC Environmental Advisory Group on 7 February and 4 April. Fund-raising • Peter Duck and Carol Bussey are organising the Bunnings sausage sizzles in 2018 and will be organising the rosters. No sizzling occurred in this quarter, but two sizzles are planned for the next quarter. Wildlife Qld Fraser Coast Prize • Branch representatives attended the presentation on 28 March of the first of three annual prizes awarded by our Branch to a student undertaking Cont. on p. 6 5 Wildlife Queensland Fraser Coast – Activity Report cont. studies in Endangered Animals and their Conservation at the University of the Sunshine Coast. The recipient of the inaugural $500 Prize was Ms Zerra Eger- ton. Submissions • We made submissions to two important government inquiries, on: the Federal Government's draft Strategy for Nature; and the Queensland Government's draft amendments to the Vegetation Man- agement legislation. ● Vanessa Elwell-Gavins, Secretary Environmental Advisory Group – Report Summary from Minutes of the meeting on 7 February 2018 Lauren Payler (Manager, Strategic Landuse Planning) provided an update on new staff positions, including a Sustainability Planner. The Offset Policy within the Plan- ning Scheme is being reviewed; Nigel Greenup to provide Policy to EAG members. Council will soon be appointing an Open-space Planning Officer who will assist in identifying potential sites for koala protection.

In addition, Lady Elliot Island to the north of Hervey Bay provides easy access to the Great Barrier Reef while inland, the heritage town of Maryborough, one of Queensland’s oldest provincial cities, and the surrounding hinterland, augments the natural attraction of the coastal area with its authentic Australian heritage and country charm. In 2016 the Fraser Coast region will be: Globally recognised for world class personal natural encounters on the world heritage listed Fraser Island and in Australia’s number one whale experience destination. Framework for Success This Destination Tourism Strategy provides the framework to guide tourism industry development in the Fraser Coast region by coordinating stakeholders in a common direction to maximise the tourism potential of the destination so as to achieve a balance of economic, social and environmental outcomes. For the Fraser Coast region to achieve its aspiration for 2016 it is critical that there is: a coordinated approach to destination Marketing and Promotion; innovative Product and Infrastructure Development across the region that delivers on the destination aspiration; and the tourism industry is operating at the highest standards of service, safety and sustainability through effective Industry Development programs FRASER COAST Brisbane Destination Tourism Strategy 2012 – 2016 Key strategies that will drive sustainable destination Domestic Market Marketing and Promotion growth to 2016 are outlined below.
