The criteria that defines a volunteer is endless. There are not too many countries in the world that can boast the mateship and generosity through volunteering that is known Australia wide. Our Council boasts that we have seven schools in our Council area and as part of those schools we see vibrant communities scattered across the District. This brings a real sense of belonging.

After two years of uncertainty, the council-owned cattle selling facility was saved from permanent closure after elected members backed a motion to keep the gates open conditional on the yards maintaining a yearly throughput of 8500. At Tuesday night’s council meeting, elected members resumed discussion on a motion by cattle producer and Councillor Moira Neagle to continue the operations of the facility until 2025, de- velop a management plan for the faculty and consider recurrent funding for capi- tal upgrades. But Penola-based Rick Paltridge - who has been a vocal opponent of continuing the saleyards - told the chamber he had spoken to “numerous people around the region” including stock agents, truck drivers, meat buyers and farmers who he claimed believed the saleyards should be closed down.

  • Historic Earthquake Studies-Safinal
    Historical earthquakes in South Australia Kevin McCue CQU Rockhampton, Queensland Abstract Three earthquakes have etched themselves into the collective memories of South Australians, the damaging 1897 Kingston-Beachport, 1902 (so-called) Warooka and 1954 Adelaide earthquakes but thousands more earthquakes in SA have been recorded since 1954, or were reported before the first seismograph was installed in Adelaide on 26 June 1909. The 1902 and 1954 earthquakes damaged buildings in Adelaide as did an earthquake in 1840 just after the city was born. Chimneys in Burra were knocked down in an earthquake in 1896. On average, between one and two earthquakes per month are reported felt in South Australia today (Alison Wallace – pers. comm.), but only half of these would be reported by the media which is a useful yardstick for historical studies such as this report. Several hundred earthquakes felt in Australia have been documented in three volumes of the Isoseismal Atlas of Australia and by Malpas (1993) and others but sources have not yet been exhausted as is demonstrated with new information on 51 felt earthquakes, many of which have not had a magnitude and location tabulated before. An earthquake in 1911 previously assigned to the Eyre Peninsula has been relocated to Gulf St Vincent, an example of an interesting feature of SA seismicity; the occasional almost simultaneous occurrence of earthquakes in different parts of the state. The combined Modified Mercalli intensity dataset has been used to make an earthquake hazard assessment for Adelaide, the result is in the same ballpark as that of Christchurch New Zealand, of the order of a thousand years return period for a destructive earthquake.

  • CFS Volunteer Yearbook 2017
    the VOLUNTEER YEARBOOK 2017 CFS volunteers give their all for others. When something happens to them, it’s our turn to give CFS Foundation – always there in a time of great need Although he claims he “just did what anyone would do”, young CFS volunteer Brad Dennis stands out for his bravery in facing great risks to help others who are in danger. More than a year after the devastating Pinery fire, its effects are still evident in the lives of many individuals and communities. Brad’s story of great courage and resilience reminds us of this. His story also demonstrates the clear need for the work of the CFS Foundation. Bushfires are a constant in South Australia, and we are well served by the selfless volunteers of the SACFS. However their service can at times come at great cost and they deserve our support in times of need. Brad, from Baroota and a member of the Port Germein brigade, suffered life threatening injuries in the Pinery fire. Family and friends have supported Brad at every step of his recovery. The CFS Foundation is proud to have contributed to the support offered to Brad as he undertakes his rehabilitation. Assisting volunteers in need, who have risked their lives for others, Brad Dennis is the core of the Foundation’s work. Please help – you can make a real difference Country Fire Service It’s inevitable that nature will again show us its almighty force in the future. CFS volunteers are always at the ready – 24/7, 365 days each year, placing their lives in danger Foundation to protect our communities.
