Callouts 1. Chakola Fire Photos: Keith Howker Just as all the map-reading fun was winding up at training on Sunday, 6 May, the call came to assist Cooma and Bredbo Brigades with a haystack fire that had started around 11 pm at Chakola and burned through the night. It wasn’t the only recent haystack fire. Cooma and Bredbo had dealt with the fire and Michelago members, along with a large excavator, attended to the mopping up with much rake-hoeing to spread the dense, smouldering material, then hosing it. Taking the Cat1 and the command vehicle, all those at training attended: Brent, Keith, Alex, Rob Smith, Kylie, Bronwyn, Abby and Derek. Alex works the rakehoe, a tedious job.

Foggy Forest Road fire Photos: Keith Howker An alleged campfire near Foggy Forest Road, Anembo, had spread overnight and was attended to on Sunday 27 May by Michelago 1 and 7A, Anembo 9 and 7, Jerangle 7 and NSW NPWS units. Michelago members were Keith, Alex, Kylie and Peter. Above: View from Tinderry Road M i c h elago Rural Fire Brigade Bulletin - 1 5 J u n e 2 0 1 8 P a g e 2 | 9 3. MVA Monaro Highway-Kelly Road – Sunday 10 June After a 3.02 pm call, Michelago responded within 15 minutes to a two-car collision near the Monaro Highway- Kelly Road T-junction near Williamsdale. One car had caught fire, igniting grass. Michelago closed the Monaro Highway for 40 minutes to deal with the fire, then police organised a contra-flow on the southbound lane. Two people were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Brigades attending were Michelago with the Cat1, Colinton with two Cat7s and a Cat1, Queanbeyan Brigade 428 Fire & Rescue with one pumper, and ACT Fire & Rescue. Michelago members attending were Brent, Keith, Derek, Rob Green, Aldo, Bronwyn and Peter. Snr Deputy Captain Keith’s comment on Facebook’s Michelago Rural Fire Brigade Members Group: ‘Well done to everyone yesterday at the MVA. The team work between our crew and working alongside Fire Rescue NSW and ACT and NSW police was bloody awesome. One of the best- organised scenes I’ve seen in a long time. Big pat on the back. Thanks for your attendance.’ Photos: Keith Howker and Bronwyn Gattringer ACT Fire & Rescue used their Breathing Apparatus against the smoke while cutting open the bonnet of the burning car so Michelago could get water to the fire source.

M i c h elago Rural Fire Brigade Bulletin - 1 5 J u n e 2 0 1 8 P a g e 4 | 9 Portable Wi-Fi Hub Jim Puniard, District Coordinator of the Monaro Team, has told us that ‘the Telstra Wi-Fi hub is available to all brigades on request … It will work anywhere that there is Telstra mobile service, and there is a large external tripod signal booster for areas with low service. The device will provide internet to up to 20 devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc). There is more than enough data and sufficient speed to play training videos and the like, also.’ He added ‘…with sufficient notice, we could arrange a demo at your station. As for transport, people are all over the place all the time; we can arrange drop off/pick up as required.’ 6 May training Photos: L. Pattison After the usual truck maintenance check and convivial barbecue, Rob Smith and Brent Wallis coached a demanding navigation exercise. Each person had an area map, was given their grid references for starting point and target location, perfected triangulation, and had to calculate variables of compass bearing, speed, access roads or tracks, terrain and vegetation to estimate their ETA at the hypothetical incident.

Training – change of date From 8 July, training will continue to start at 11 am, but on every second Sunday of the month, not the first. June training Training on Sunday, 3 June was mainly to do a thorough familiarisation check, including pumping and drafting, on the recently commissioned new (to Michelago) Cat7A, a relatively new vehicle from the Bawley Point Brigade. Experienced members, led by recently elected training officer Dave Ferris, showed recent recruit Rob Buvari and potential member Greg McFaul the ropes. Michelago Music Muster – 2 June Such cold weather, but an event oh-so-warm, with friendly fires, fabulous food and marvellous music! Organised by the Michelago Rural Fire Brigade and the Michelago Region Community Association, the Music Muster was a community success and a good fundraiser for both the Brigade and the MRCA. The Brigade provided luscious lamb rolls and hot dogs. ORA Catering, from Googong, offered a choice of three Indian dishes. Catcher and Co Distillery Brewery supplied the bar. Thanks to Asset Construction Hire for donating the fencing. The highly entertaining Stewart Barton and Ivy Lane rocked us on until late.

    Free Feb/ March Your only free locally owned, printed and published Community Magazine here in the Snowy Monaro Region www.snowyriverecho.com 1 Welcome to the February issue of the Snowy River Echo. IN THIS ISSUE We rear in to 2017 with glee and some new columnists! I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for their amazing feedback and support. The Snowy River Echo is your only locally owned, pub- lished and printed magazine. We take pride in this and love supporting the community in any way we can. I had a phone call in early February from a resident in Berridale, the lady thought she had missed January’s edition. Explaining to me that she posts a copy each month to an old friend in New Zealand that used to work on the Snowy. I replied with joy now knowing that the magazine (if only one copy) gets to New Zea- land. As discussed with this regular reader, I mentioned that the magazine hasn’t been published in January before but as per the communities feedback we will as of next year publish 12 editions a year. The Monaro’s agriculture show season is upon us. So please support our local towns by attending or partic- ipating! I will be participating in a few of the horse events my self, feel free to come over and say hi! I took a drive to Buchan the other week, a little exploring down the Barry Way to the Mountain Cattlemen’s Get Together. Hosted by the Mountain Cattlemen’s Association of Victoria a great weekend was had by all and on pages 12 and 13 you have a read about some of the history and what went on.

  • Skiing in New South Wales
    SKIING IN NEW SOUTH WALES Located within Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains, NSW’s four snow resorts – Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Selwyn Snow Resort – each has their own style and personality. The resorts have invested heavily in recent years to extend the Winter snow and make sure skiers and boarders have optimal conditions. All-inclusive deals that bundle accommodation with transport, lift passes and equipment hire are a great way to stretch your dollar. The season generally begins on the June long weekend (the second weekend of the month), with loads of fun events planned throughout the weekend. Now is the time to start planning your Winter holiday – all you have to do is decide where to go. PERISHER The largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere, Perisher covers more than 12 square kilometres across seven peaks and four distinct resort areas – Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes and Guthega. It’s great for all ages and abilities with more than 1,200 hectares of skiable terrain, hundreds of runs, 100km of cross country trails, 47 lifts, five terrain parks and two halfpipes. 240 Current as at 8 February 2019 snow cannons ensure there’s a coating of fresh powder for the whole season. The large resort village has lots of places to eat and drink, and other restaurants are spread across the mountains. Once the lifts have closed for the day, there are plenty of welcoming bars and clubs. Enjoy comedy night at the Sundeck Hotel or, for something more refined, you can ski to the piano bar at the Base 1720 Bar and Restaurant or Curve Bar.
