PRESIDENT REPORT - JUNE 2021
Well the good news this month is that the community hall is now air conditioned!! This
was made possible by a grant of $20,000 from RACQ Foundation. A big thank you to
them and to Wide Bay Air Conditioning who installed the system last week. It will now be
so much more comfortable during those hot sticky months.
Another long term project done and dusted. However, the next one looming on the
horizon is the revamp of the parklands at the hall. We have put suggestions to Council
regarding relocating the memorial stone and flagpole to a less cramped area. The work
was originally to be done in last year's Council budget but will now be done in the new
budget we understand.
It's a lovely time of year in River Heads with mild weather - sunny days and crisp, starry
nights. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning!
It certainly is a lovely area we live in and we are duty bound to protect our relaxed way of
life and our unique ecology.
The June Open Mic is happening on Saturday 19 June, starting at 4.30pm. This event is
sponsored by Fraser Coast RV Park and Ultra Music. RHPA is hosting the event. Entry is
by gold coin donation with proceeds going to charity. Anyone wishing to perform should
register beforehand with Suzanne Taylor from RV Park by email at
frasercoastrvpark@gmail.com .
Don’t forget, Fishing Club raffles are held on the 2nd Friday of the month. Great fun and
prizes as the old fashioned chocolate wheel clacks around. RHPA raffles are also held
every Friday from 5.30pm with prizes of Meat Tray or Breakfast Tray from Urangan
Butchers; Dinner for 2; selection of beverages, so come along and enjoy yourselves.
Great food, great view and great people!! All made possible by our fantastic
volunteer workforce! More helpers needed! Phone 0499 992 442.
Sporting Teams for River Heads: Anyone interested in forming a team should phone
0499 992 442. It is high time River Heads was on the sporting map. We have a wealth
of sporting talent in our community plus a fantastic playing field and canteen at the
Reserve in Seafarer Avenue, so let’s get mobilised!! A big thank you to all the guys
working on the canteen. They are doing a fantastic job – Nev Watson, Mark Hensel,
Nick Burgess and anyone else who has helped.
MORE VOLUNTEERS DESPERATELY NEEDED FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS PER
MONTH – PREPARATION OF FOOD – TILL OPERATION – PLATING OF FOOD –
BAR TENDING PHONE 0499 992 442. We can’t continue to provide services and
facilities to our community without our volunteers.
That’s all folks! Take care, stay well and enjoy life.

COUNCILLOR Division 7 NEWS
Winter is with us now and it really seems like yesterday that I was wishing you all a Merry Christmas. I
will blame that on last month’s little error with the community chat!
I have published that it was on Thursday June 1st and we all know that the 1st is not a Thursday, please
accept my apologies!
My June Chat will be Tuesday the 22nd of June, my May Gathering was Tuesday the 25th, not sure what
was going on there.
We still have a lot going on right across the region and I will do a bit of a shout out for two of my
favourites that are just around the corner, Relish Food & Wine Festival and the Teebar Rodeo.
Relish Food & Wine Festival is on Saturday June 5th at the Mary River Parklands and there really is
something for everybody with workshops to live music and this year a Pimm’s High Tea! For more
information please visit https://relishfrasercoast.com.au .
Our next great event is the Teebar Show & Sports Day, which is a great day out in the country with non-
stop action and lots to see and do.
This will be the 9th year I have volunteered at the event and I really recommend the day. For more
information please visit https://www.teebar.com.au .
Council has been keeping me busy with a number of large projects on the books as we speak. I do thank
the River Heads community members who took the time to pass comment on the Planning Scheme &
Open Spaces Strategy.
We have a number of other major projects underway and coming up. Council would love more
feedback and input so please keep an eye out for information or register to have your say at
https://frasercoast.engagementhub.com.au/ .
Community Chat
My next Community Chat will be Tuesday June 22nd at the River Heads Hall from 10.30 – 11.30 am. If
there are any matters that require attention please let me know.
If you can’t make my Community Chat, I am happy to visit you at home. To make an appointment,

(Sue Watson)
Jesus said “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart…” (Matthew 11:29).
There is an aspect to gentleness that is often a magnificent demonstration of noble
character - good manners. This is why those who have good manners are called
“gentlemen” or “gentle ladies.” Good manners are basically a way that we honour
and show respect for others. They have become so rare in these times that when
they are seen they can stand out even more as those who are of a different spirit.
Since the Lord said that as we treat even the least of His people, He will regard it
as the way that we treat Him; we should be treating everyone with the highest
respect and good manners.
It seems like the world was a far gentler and friendlier place when good manners
were considered essential behaviour. The degrading of manners in many areas
today has been in parallel to the way we have allowed God to be removed from our
culture, only to be replaced by increasing disrespect and intolerance for others,
and has increased into rage and violence.
To be truly gentle does not mean that we become timid mealy-mouthed pushovers.
Jesus was not, but boldly stood up to His accusers, calling them hypocrites, until it
was time to go to the cross. Then He stood mute before them. Since His
exhortation was to learn from Him we, too, must keep in mind that there is a time
for peace and a time for war (see Ecclesiastes 3), there is a time to respond to
accusations and opposers, and a time not to. Even when it is time to challenge our
opposers we must keep in mind that we are sons and daughters of the King, and
must conduct ourselves with the dignity of those of His household.

Welcome from the Fishing Club.
As I write this month’s article, the cold weather is on the way and the visitors from
southern states are heading north in big numbers for the best weather anywhere in
Australia. We are so lucky to call this area home all year.
With good weather for the next few months, fishing should improve but the iconic
species like barramundi and king salmon will be much harder to find in cooler
waters.
The review of the Great Sandy Marine Park is still to be released. We understand
it has been finalised and all relevant parties have had their submissions assessed.
Perhaps it will be released after the Queensland State budget has been handed
down sometime this month.
The Club produced a calendar this year with photos submitted by members in the
monthly photo competition. Quality is excellent and well worth the cost. This is just
an additional membership benefit. Other benefits include insurance cover while
attending Club endorsed events through QAFCA membership, River Heads
Progress Association membership, subsidised annual Club trip away, pizza nights
and the best of all, friendships formed with other members.
The Club chook raffles on the second Friday night of the month at the River Heads
Hall are still very well received although numbers drop off a bit through cooler
months.
Above is the photo of the Club record barramundi caught by Rob Mills a while ago.
It proves you don’t need a boat to catch the fish of your dreams.
Until next month-may your lines be tight, knots strong and hooks sharp.

FROM THE FOOD FOREST
‘RAID THE GARDEN’ Event - Sunday 6 June
You're invited to come and raid the River Heads Food Forest on Sunday 6 June
between 9 -12 am.
Bring some snips, newspaper, envelopes, bags, tubs, etc for cuttings or plants.
Address is 45 Ariadne Street, River Heads. BYO morning tea, or purchase from the
River Heads Cafe across the road.
As I am transitioning out of managing the River Heads Food Forest I am happy to
see plants go to good homes. The plant list pinned on the FB page and in the FB
Group will give you an idea of what's growing on-site.
Hard copies of plant lists will be available on Sunday, and will be updated in
August in time for RiverFest. It might be a much simpler list with less variety of
plants as the garden is no longer watered and maintenance is minimal.
The River Heads Food Forest
site will revert to Council at the
end of this year.
Meanwhile the adjoining
Community Garden inside the
fence will continue to be open
most Tuesday mornings from
9 -11 am.
Contact Billie Rustin, President
of the River Heads Progress
Association, if you would like
to be involved.

RIVER HEADS OPEN MIC
Another successful and entertaining evening was held on 15th May. There were 3 drummers, which was
a first, and the Beacon Boys did quite a few numbers. Sneaky Licks debuted early in the night, letting it rip
with ‘Stormy Monday’ (see photo below), and also performed some dance tunes for the appreciative
audience later.
There was a raffle with a dolphin print and 3 Bowen therapy vouchers from River Heads Bowen therapist,
Di McNamara. We plan on having more raffles as they are a perfect filler between sets, and everyone
loves a good raffle.
This live music event is well patronised by visitors and
musicians who travel from near and far to plug in and play with
the professional sound equipment set up by our experienced
sound engineer, Lyle.
So if you want a great night out, entry by gold coin donation
supporting Just 4 Kids Children’s Charity with reasonably
priced drinks and gourmet burgers, come down to the Club
on Saturday 19th June. Doors open 4:30.

RIVER HEADS
History of Environment Projects at
River Heads Reserve (Part 2)
The main request as a result of the original community survey mentioned in last month’s
Review was a need for walking paths in the park at Seafarer Drive. Neville Watson of
Watermans Way used his ride-on mower from 2007 to provide these paths, and later in
2011 a tractor was provided by Fraser Coast Regional Council (FCRC) for establishing
these paths and maintaining the general area. Attempts were initiated for some Council
funding but money was tight due to the GFC.
In late 2008 a man representing Ocean Watch contacted my husband, Warren, who was on
the River Heads Progress Association (RHPA) Committee. This contact was initially
through a local National Parks Ranger, known later in 2010 for his research on local turtles.
An Ocean Watch grant was then applied for on our behalf through the Federal Government
Environment Department. Note: The River Heads Progress Association administered the
Ocean Watch Grant as sponsor.
The Ocean Watch representative had had concerns about the foreshore area with 3 main
projects and objectives:
1. The infestation of groundsel in the foreshore area and the need for enhancing natural
vegetation.
2. The erosion in the salt pan and mangroves through the illegal use of 4X4 vehicles, and
the need for some fencing to prevent the 4X4 vehicles accessing the foreshore.
3. The erosion of the drain running under Seafarer Drive through the Reserve to the silt
trap dam needing revegetation to slow down the body of water coming down the natural
water course and off the road.
The first job of eliminating groundsel was carried out by nine international conservation
volunteers in March 2009. They cut the groundsel and painted the stumps with weedkiller.
They worked for four days in the foreshore zone and also assisted an FCRC Foreshore
Environment staff member in replanting a line of trees off Bengtson Road that had been
illegally removed.
The FCRC staff member provided the gate and rocks still standing at the point that in the
past had been used by the 4X4 vehicles. Rocks were also placed either side of the gate and
at the end of the Bengtson Road cul-de-sac, as many vehicles had also used this to access
the foreshore. Part of the fence was constructed behind the then vacant blocks on Seafarer
Drive.
Some drivers tried to access the foreshore off the Watermans Way vacant blocks but many
became bogged in the area which is now the oval, as there were major drainage issues on
the site after heavy rain.
Page 11HISTORIAN MESSAGE (Continued)
All the plants were obtained from the FCRC Community Nursery for planting on the creek
banks to provide a buffer zone and to eliminate the erosion. This initial planting began in
April/May 2009. Initially, the Ocean Watch grant was approximately $9,000 and increased
to about $11,000, but there was also some additional support from the Burnett Mary
Regional Group towards a water cart. The housing of a water cart and road access were of
concern so instead the money was used for a contractor to work on the ground preparation
of a 240m planting buffer line for the 2010/2011 Caring for Country Project.
Application for this second grant was submitted through the FCRC Grants Coordinator,
who used the Concept Master Plan for a live on-line application in October 2009.
FCRC Director Peter Smith was the legal sponsor to the Federal Government for this
second grant (February 2010 to August 2011). A condition was put in place that all
volunteers working on-site should become Community Environmental Partners (CEP).
This was a means to cover all volunteers under Work Place Health and Safety.

Specific details of the 18 months $16,000+ project, as well as the RHPA Reserve entrance
path, will be covered in Part 3.

Latham’s Snipe
For 25 years the Birdwatchers of Hervey Bay have been observing the bird life at Dundowran
Beach, particularly around the various lagoons. From September 2020 to March 2021 several
Latham’s Snipe were repeatedly sighted. These migratory waders fly to Japan and back again
each year.
Latham’s Snipe are quite common in Summer from Hervey Bay to Victoria and South Australia.
They are secretive, preferring the naturally occurring plants and grasses around lagoons, as is
the case at Dundowran Beach. In some lagoons, where the vegetation has been mowed, the
Snipe may break their cover and be seen probing for bugs in mowed lawns; but ultimately they
depend on the long vegetation for survival.
Photo by Belinda Rafton
Not only do Latham’s Snipe benefit from natural vegetation fringing Hervey Bay’s lagoons but
also beneficial insects thrive there too. Beneficial insects are encouraged in commercial orchards
as they help reduce biting insects and help pollinate commercial fruit trees such as Avocado and
Macadamia. Similarly, local gardens can benefit from letting natural vegetation thrive around
lagoons. A few metres of natural vegetation around lagoons discourage cane toads, and the big
and rather messy birds invading lawns such as the Magpie Goose.
Latham’s Snipe share natural vegetation around lagoons with small colourful birds such as the
Variegated Fairy-wren and the Double-barred Finch. Wherever there is slow moving water or still
water, there will be mosquitoes and sandflies. With natural vegetation around lagoons, insect
eating birds, such as martins and swallows will be encouraged: these being highly effective in
controlling mosquitoes.
A fringe of natural vegetation around lagoons is a thing of beauty, and, also has so many natural
advantages rather than mowing to the water’s edge.

It has been many years since the Fraser Coast Branch of Wildlife
Queensland has invited a reptile expert to speak in our libraries.
Fortunately, the drought has broken. Chris Muller, snake catcher and
fauna relocator, will be speaking in the Hervey Bay Library on June 18
and in the Maryborough Library on June 25 at 1pm for both centres.
Chris’s life has been dedicated to the welfare of wildlife. From bringing
home lizards, turtles and snakes as a child to working voluntarily as a
zoological laboratory technician in the Queensland Museum as a
teenager, he was destined to a life involved with fauna welfare.
His first experience of being a snake rescuer, lasting ten years, occurred when he was placed on
the National Parks and Wildlife list which enabled him to relocate snakes from homes and other
places not totally amenable to reptiles.
After being a tour guide on Fraser Island for eight years, he worked in Central Queensland as a
fauna spotter. It was in this job, his knowledge of species widened and where he had the
unfortunate experience of seeing wildlife evicted from their homes.
Now resident in Hervey Bay, Chris continues his work as a spotter and is at present a snake
catcher, fauna spotter, and works in the disability sector.
Bookings for Chris’s talk can be made by phoning the
Hervey Bay Library on 41974220.

Page 25We need your property now!
We have been continuing to smash sales targets every
month with no sign of the market slowing down. But we
now have a long list of buyers with very little stock to
sell.
Vacant blocks in Turtle Cove are now starting from
around $250,000 if you can find one and any block
under 1000m2 with views are fetching around the
$170,000 mark.
If you are sitting on an investment block or have been
considering selling your home now is the time to sell!
With so much interest around many buyers are missing
out on properties and are desperate to buy.
Contact us for a free market appraisal and you might
be shocked at the prices people are achieving at the
moment. Some blocks of land have more than doubled
in price!
We would also like to welcome a new sales agent to
the team in Colin Cotter. Colin has been put on to help
deal with the massive influx of buyers.
Rentals are also very hard to come by at the moment
and we have many qualified tenants waiting to get
into a property, if you are unhappy with your current
agent or want to get an idea of what you could rent
your house for contact our property manager Tracey.
