Timber for the project was all cut at the relocated sawmill, which op- erates on the first Sunday of each month. There are so many sheds full of vehicles that you will be amazed. Pride of place goes to a pair of fully restored traction engines. See two working Tangye engines — the 100 horsepower model is one of only two in the world still operating. “Everything is running. It’s not a static heritage park. It needs to be a working reminder of how things used to be,” Jill said. “It’s about ‘Keeping Memories Alive’ — our slogan — and we have heaps of space for parking caravans.” You will be amazed at the sheer size, diversity and presentation of this outstanding private collection. Family passes are available and there is a huge restaurant and one corner devoted to an expansive display of miniature vehicles. Allocate the day to get around this huge step back in time, which is largely under cover. 2 17th National Caravan Clubs' Rally Newsletter #15, April 2019 Still ‘room at the inn’ as October date nears Registrations are still being When the programme is settled, sought for the National Rally. a form will be available on the web- According to Canberra, there site for people to sign up for their were many late entries for the 2016 favourite activities. rally in the preceding months.

  • Early Commandants of Moreton
    385 EARLY COMMANDANTS OF MORETON BAY [By LOUIS CRANFIELD] (Read before a meeting of the Society on 24 October 1963.) The Moreton Bay Convict Settlement was one of five prin­ cipal convict stations in early AustraUa, the others being located at Port Macquarie, N.S.W., Macquarie Harbour and Port Arthur in Tasmania, and Norfolk Island. The Moreton Bay station was established following an enquiry conducted by John Thomas Bigge, who visited New South Wales between the years 1819 and 1821. The purpose of the enquiry was to investigate the possibility of abolishing the transportation system. The visit, however, appears to have had the opposite effect, for the 1820's are recognized as the worst years in the convict era. Bigge estimated the cost of buUding the settlement at Moreton Bay to be £4,150, and the annual cost of main­ taining it to be £27,500. Lt. Henry MiUer was appointed first Commandant and he arrived at Redcliffe, in company with the Surveyor-General, John Oxley, on 14 September 1824. He had charge of approximately 50 soldiers and convicts. UNSUITABLE LOCALITY The locality proved completely unsuited for the station and it was transferred to the present site of Brisbane in November of that year. The reason for the selection of the unsatisfactory site was probably due to Miller's observing the official instructions too closely. The instructions, which were dated 27 August 1824, are as follows: "To provide security and subsistence for the runaways from Port Macquarie." The Commandant was to be guided by the judgment of the Surveyor-General in the selection of the location, which was preferably to be an airy situation, close to fresh water, and not a moment to be lost in the construction of huts for soldiers and convicts.

Assessor's Summary of Significance: The Porongurup National Park is a place of exceptional biological and ecological significance. The Park has one of the richest concentrations of plant species in Australia with more than 700 native plant species within the park of 2,621 hectares. The place is also highly endemic for a wide array of plant species, and represents an important remnant of the rich flora of south west Western Australia in a largely cleared agricultural landscape. Examples of plant groups which contribute to this outstanding richness and endemism include: heaths (Epacridaceae) especially beard- heaths (Leucopogon); peas (Fabaceae) notably flame-peas (Chorizema) and also bitter-peas (Daviesia and Bossiaea), and poison-peas (Gastrolobium); native myrtles (Myrtaceae); pimeleas (Thymelaeaceae), notably rice flowers (Pimelea); sundews and pitcher plants (Nepenthales); bloodroots, conostyles, kangaroo paws and their allies (Haemodorales); and banksias and grevilleas (Proteales). It is also important for richness in lilies, orchids and allies (Liliales), notably native lilies (Anthericaceae), irises and allies (Iridaceae), and orchids (Orchidaceae).
