These visits will show what the local area has to offer, and we will be accompanied on the bus by David Hilhorst from the Braidwood Local Land Services Office and other local experts who will talk about plants, trees, soil and wildlife. WINDELLAMA We will set off from Windellama Hall at 9.30 am (be there at 9 am). We will visit Tarago Truffles, the Tarago Worm Farm and an example of erosion control. Morning tea and lunch will be provided and there is no charge. We will return to Windellama Hall at 4.30 pm. Places are filling up on the bus, so please let us know by 7 September if you would like to come – contact details below. If you would like to participate in future Landcare activities - busy bees, talks, inspections, farm/tree walks – this will be a chance to learn about these and other activities of Windellama Landcare. Later in the year we will have some working bees on local properties or on public areas, so if you are inspired by the bus trip, you might wish to come to one of our busy bees too. See the flyer about the bus trip elsewhere in the Windellama news. JOINING LANDCARE If you are interested in joining the local Windellama Landcare Group or you would like to come to one of our working bees, please call Tony or Sandra Greville on 0418 412 460 or Irene Turner on 02 4844 5214 or John Pearce on 02 4844 5244. Annual membership of Windellama Landcare is $10.00 per family. Busy bees begin at 9:30 am with a cuppa. Morning tea and lunch are provided. Children are very welcome too at our working bees AND BUS TRIPS! You will learn about tackling some of the land management issues of our sensitive soils. It is also a great social activity – meeting local people while learning about our unique local area. AND ANOTHER THING Have you seen Carina Clarke’s collection of articles she wrote for the Windellama news? They have been brought together in a two-volume set – called Wild Windellama. The articles cover just about everything about the flora and fauna of the area – birds, animals, water creatures, flowers, trees and shrubs – many unique to Windellama. If you are interested in obtaining a set, call one of the numbers above. The set of two volumes is $10.00. Windellama SES First Aid & CFR There has been very little activity for us during the month, fortunately. We have some members away this weekend 19th participating in a large animal rescue course. SES does branch out into various fields. The "sniffer" dog team is also coming back into action. We are fortunate, in as much, that we have over the past few months,had some new YOUNG members join us. Just a reminder once again, that we are holding an open day on the 17th of November. Please be aware of the very welcome Police activity in our region.
