As discussed in previous updates, Veolia’s application via Transport for NSW to upgrade the crossing loop in Tarago to allow more efficient use of the siding has been approved. The $8.6 million project was announced this month by the NSW Roads and Freight Minister Melinda Pavey. This project will significantly improve access of our two trains to the siding, preventing the need to run a TARAGO third shuttle train from Goulburn. Veolia is not aware of when the works are to commence at Tarago. The project is an initiative of the NSW Government and will be project managed by John Holland CRN. PRE-SCHOOL Veolia has met with Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) this month regarding the truck access along the Ph. 4849 4427 Bungendore/Tarago Road. A funding strategy has been developed as part of Veolia’s $2.5 million commitment [email protected] to council to upgrade the sections of concern. The upgrade works will be done by QPRC within their road maintenance schedules. This outcome is a great step forward to improving country road infrastructure.
During the last Community Liaison Committee meeting, I mentioned that Veolia is looking to carry out a fortnightly Open 5 days a week domestic waste collection service in the Tarago district. The exact geographical area serviced is still being Monday - Friday discussed with representatives of Goulburn Mulwaree Council. However in concept, Veolia proposes a fortnightly collection of general waste, with a bin supplied. Veolia Children 18 months - 6 years will be in a position to provide more information in the coming months. This initiative is about giving back to the Standard Rate - $25/day community we live and operate in, and to provide direct support to our neighbours.
Casual and Half days available Leachate Treatment Plant Construction of the Leachate Treatment plant is Subsidised rates on application progressing well, with three of the large tanks constructed. Hydrostatic pressure testing has been carried out to test the integrity of the new tanks. The largest tank is 1.8ML. The engineering team is still on track to commission the plant by the end of September this year.
Tarago Village Plan Along with an Early Childhood Teacher our The Plan has been finalised and Veolia has met with staff are Diploma & Cert III qualified Goulburn Mulwaree Council about the implementation phase. Veolia intends to hand over the plan to the community on 12th July at the Tarago Hall.

Wildcare Queanbeyan Inc Media Release Squirreled away in care Wildcare has always believed squirrel gliders live in our area, but until last year we had no confirmed locations for these elusive creatures. Two sites were confirmed and so began an intensive study of these gliding mammals, should one come into care at any point. And two weeks ago one did! A 300gm female! To the casual observer squirrel gliders look like overgrown sugar gliders, having the same configuration, markings and colours. However, they are a distinctly different species, less territorially possessive and more sociable than your average sugar glider. Squirrel gliders have a narrower and more pointed face than do sugar gliders. The black stripe from their foreheads runs down their backs right to the rump while the sugar’s stripe ends before it reaches the rump. A good rule of thumb for identification is: any sugar glider over 130 gms is not a sugar, but a squirrel glider. Like the sugar glider, squirrels have a gliding membrane (patagium) joining wrist to ankle. They live in small tree hollows in woodland and dry sclerophyll forests away from the coast. Like sugars they eat insects, nectar, pollen, manna, honeydew, thrips, eucalypt sap and acacia gum but, on occasion, they have been known to kill and eat small birds and field mice. Bella, the squirrel glider, came into care as a result of one of the commonest perils for Australian animals - barbed wire. Caught by her tail, as she glided, she hung on that evil barb for at least forty eight hours before she was seen and rescued. In that time the lower half of her tail became necrotic so, to add to her trauma, Bella had to have that section of her tail amputated. She is making a rapid return to health in the hands of one of Wildcare’s experienced carers and has recovered her sense of adventure and fun, even to the point of escaping her hospital cage one night and exploring her surrounds before sleeping squirrelled away in her glider house. Eventually, since her amputation precludes a safe return to the wild, it is hoped she will join a breeding program to help ensure the survival of what is now officially a threatened species. What can we do to ensure that other squirrel gliders survive and multiply in our region? Removing the top wire of barbed fencing will help, albeit, this can be a ‘painful’ job (the remaining fence will still enclose stock). Glider- friendly species of natives can be planted and look after the old trees on our land, so that they continue developing nesting holes. Above all, keep cats indoors at night (they won’t complain one bit in our cold winters). Should you come across an injured or orphaned glider, wrap him warmly, enclose him in something secure (with air holes), and ring Wildcare on 6299 1966, 24/7. Jane Baker for Wildcare phone 6238 1717

I begin this news letter to inform everyone there will be another NSW Firearms Amnesty from the 1st July 2018 until the 30 September 2018. The aim of the amnesty is to either register any unregistered firearms or have them removed from the community. For the period of the amnesty, members of the public in possession of unregistered firearms and firearm related articles will be able to surrender those items without fear of prosecution. Prohibited Weapons can also be surrendered during the maintenance amnesty. If you need any further information you can contact the NSW Firearms Registry or you can email me plus on [email protected].

Your call will be logged and directed to our branch electronically, so that we can respond accordingly. FEATHERS & SPINES! As always, our volunteers will be only too happy to assist. By Kay Muddiman – Media Officer Until next time, take care all – Kay First – the feathers! A beautiful Barn Owl (Tyto alba) came into care one evening early in May, after flying into a window in the Crestwood Estate at Goulburn and knocking himself unconscious. We get lots of daytime calls for birds that have injured themselves by flying into windows, but this evening call for a nocturnal bird was a complete surprise. He came around after a while and thankfully didn’t have any visible injuries. The next day he was taken for a vet examination, including checking his eyes - perfect eyesight is vital to these birds. He was given the ‘all clear’, so that night he was taken back out to Crestwood where he was released near the river. The accompanying pics were taken during his vet examination - unfortunately it was impossible to get a photo of his release, because as soon as the box was opened he took off, flying beautifully - obviously happy to be home. Second – the spines! Some weeks back we had a call for an echidna at Binda that had somehow fallen into an ancient (fortunately long unused!) brick lined septic tank and was unable to get out. It responded to all efforts to get him out by ‘digging in’, making the task that much harder! It took the assistance of a young teenage boy to shimmy down into the tank and dig him out. Finally, after not a little effort, the echidna was retrieved. Other than being very thirsty and wanting a drink, he was thankfully uninjured, so was able to be released straight away. The caller (the occupier of the premises) was most distressed about the echidna’s plight, assuring us that she would be getting her husband to cover the tank to prevent any other creature from getting into the same predicament.
Another word on feathers!

Serve and your Health your decision stand back, and by the way, the gravy is the best bit. This is also a good one for the babies, if you remove Hi, Julie here. As I sit writing this on 16th May, the winds, the potatoes (they can sour if left too long. Puree the off the Southern Ocean have suddenly realized that it’s mix (without the dumplings) and it can be frozen in their turn to inflict weather on us. Of course, with the meal size portions and kept for up to 3 months. winds have come the requisite flu’s, colds, sore throats, and sniffles. So, what can we do? Julie Arbalis Honey and lemon, is always a good standby, but honey and apple cider vinegar will also act as a disinfectant for the throat. Either mix a teaspoonful of each together and Hilton just suck on a spoonful or pour in boiling water and make a hot toddy from it. There are those who will suggest adding a little something extra and this may enhance the Victor appeal for those who drink spirits, but funnily enough, there is very little evidence that this has any greater therapeutic effect than having the mixture straight! ROBERTS Liquorice or Echinacea lozenges will sooth even the stubbornest of sore throats, just suck on them as required, using the guidelines on the packet and a bit of common sense. With young children, be especially aware of what other ingredients are in any lozenge, as sometimes the additives can have their own adverse effects. My personal favourite is hot orange juice and honey. Use an orange concentrate, like you used to be able to get at the baby health clinics, blend in a spoonful of honey and then slowly add water, just off the boil. Be careful, this is hot. However, you can actually feel this one doing good. Cooled juice, made this way, is a very handy substitute for milk if baby is congested and is coughing up phlegm or mucus after drinking milk. It is not a long term substitute and remember to give baby clear water to rinse the mouth, but when they won’t accept anything else, this is one way of helping to keep fluids up. In previous columns I have written about the benefits of chicken soup as a cure all when one is under the weather. For my next best recipe how about an osso bucco and dumpling stew to warm every one up. This is a good “throw everything in and let it do its own thing”, so why not give it a try. Osso Bucco and Dumpling Stew Recipe 1. Take ox tail or neck rosettes, 1-2 for each person. In a heavy pan, put 4 tablespoons of oil and brown 2-3 onions roughly chopped; add garlic if you like and brown this too. 2. Add the meat and brown well; then add diced potatoes, carrots, leek, capsicum, corn, peas and ½ cup of pearl barley. Stir all of these in well so they get coated fully by the juices. Salt and pepper to taste and if desired add 1-2 oxo cubes. 3. When the mixture is hot, cover the contents with water, and allow it to come to the boil. Lower to a simmer and allow to continue cooking for an hour to hour and a half. Top up the liquid as required. Now, if desired, add some gravox mixed with a little milk. 4. Prepare a dumpling mix with two cups flour, a large spoon of mixed herbs, some savoury salt and water.

Producers should identify core animals to keep and feed and put together a ration that is suitable for the class of stock. For example, energy requirements will be increasing for pregnant cows and ewes. Hay is important to support animals during cold weather and producers should budget increased feed requirements for chill. Good quality hay has high metabolisable energy, and may be more cost-effective than some cheaper straws. However, in many situations hay alone may not be sufficient, and livestock managers will need to consider grain, grain by-products or other energy and/or protein concentrated feeds. Understanding the quality of grain and hay will be important in budgeting amounts required and how animals will perform. Producers should request a feed test, or can pay for testing through the DPI feed test lab. The body condition of animals should be assessed and feeding should be adjusted to maintain animals in optimal condition for their stage of production, particularly Lou grew up on a mixed enterprise farm in South Africa, moving towards calving and lambing. which included beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and cropping.
