Creativity Writing Submissions or Good News Stories We would love to publish some local literary talent. If you have a piece of poetry, short story or a local news story please forward it to [email protected] or post to 44 Forestry Road. Tech Support From the Editor Credit– Facebook Funnies Dear Tech Support Hope you enjoy Kind Regards Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband Sarah Brischke 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system Bauple Bulletin Editor performance particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. Why I Chose To Live In Bauple! In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other We want to share your story. What brought you to live in valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Bauple? What do you love about living here? What would Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable you like to see in the community? programs such as Big Bash 5.0, NRL 3.0 and Golf Send submissions to [email protected] Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do? Signed Desperate Dear Desperate First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Please enter the comment “I thought you loved me.html”, download Tears 6.2 and be sure to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If those applications work as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. However, please remember the overuse of the above applications can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Hay Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). In addition, please do not attempt reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. This is an unsupported application and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Cookery 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7. Why I Chose To Live In Bauple! In 2001 we had a sea change and moved to King Island. Then my son and his wife started a family in Nambour QLD. So we decided we wanted to be close to the kids, but we did not want to live too close. So we started looking around what may be within drivable distance. We decided to rent in Maryborough and look around. One day we were out driving here and there and came across a Real Estate Agent in Tiaro (we pronounced this tee-are-o) and decided there were some prop- erties we liked at a place called Bauple. So the Agent took us out to what we thought was the middle of nowhere and we fell in love. Bought a house with a couple of acres with no neighbours and never looked back. Having our Tree change now.

  • February 2017 ISSUE 289
    A volunteer initiative of the Howard & District Progress Assn Inc. Voice of the People Since August 1990 DISTRIBUTION 1600 COPIES VOLUME 1 February 2017 ISSUE 289 President Trump’s inauguration speech resonated around the world. He declared he would “… give power back to the forgotten people” For many of us that is just how we feel – forgotten by politicians, misled by media and forgotten by the public officials we pay to serve our needs. In 2014, then Treasurer Joe Hockey declared that the age of entitlement was dead. In that case he was referring to welfare recipients. Unfortunately, his colleagues on both sides of the house failed to understand that if it was over for the rest of us, it was also over for politicians and public officials. Political movements in Britain and the United States indicate OFF that the forgotten people are demanding to be heard. They are also demanding that politicians and public officials stop taking advantage of their position and start WITH providing the service that we ratepayers and taxpayers are funding. THEIR Are we in the Burrum District forgotten? Recent events at Fraser Coast Council who funded a HEADS $1/2 million boardwalk and multi-million dollar sports complex at Hervey Bay while we languish without sewerage and adequate drainage seems to suggest we are indeed forgotten. Our divisional councillor and local member are fighting hard for us but it seems that self-interest by councillors and public officials is too strong an influence. No, I’m not advocating that we rise up in revolt and shout “Off with her head”.

It was inscribed as Ramsar site 992 in 1999. Its 93,160 ha includes marine, estuarine and intertidal wetlands and salt pans. The intertidal wetland habitats consist of: 15,500 ha of mangrove forests, 12,300 ha of intertidal and subtidal seagrass beds, 2,800 ha of saltmarshes, unvegetated mud, sand and salt flats, and estuarine and channel waters of varying depth and width. The main freshwater wetland types are Melaleuca swamp forest and other palustrine wetlands. It is a very special place deserving the highest level of protection.
