Hello there,
My name is Kaye & I have been a resident in Toogoom for 14 years and in that time I have been very active in
community events as I continue to enjoy my lovely home and friends here in Toogoom.
I was recently elected to the Committee of the Community Association and for all those that read the June
edition of the local Chatter, you may have remembered the article on Stamping for Ava.
I helped co-ordinate this event & we are happy to advise that we forwarded the amount of $1,350 to Ava’s
family. Thank you to the Community Association who waived the Hall hire.
My next event is to co-ordinate a “Soup, Sweets & Slippers” Special Day.
The money I raise from this event will be used to purchase much needed
linen, kitchenware, etc so as not to cart my kitchen to the Hall each time we
organise an event.
Soup, Sweets & Slippers
Where The Soup Kitchen (better known as the Community Hall)
When Friday 14th August
Time Sometime between 11.00am – 11.30am

Toogoom Chatter - July 2021 Page 7
Coastal Futures Survey (Toogoom Community Support.)
It has taken the threat of global warming and the inevitable threat of sea levels rising for
our government, State and local, to do a survey of our coastline to determine the effects
this will have, and what can be done to soften its impact on coastal communities. This
survey can be found on FCRC Engagement Hub Website.
Toogoom for some time has been very vocal about the erosion on their beach, to the
extent they went to FCRC with a petition signed by 626 people to address this erosion
problem. Within the next few years, if left unchecked, this erosion will migrate inland and
threaten many properties along Kingfisher Parade as well as Fixter Park.
The result of this erosion can be put fairly and squarely on the shoulders of previous
Fraser Coast councils for ignoring the illegal clearing of the coastal woodlands to enable
a more clear view of the sea, thus allowing strong erosive winds to penetrate inland. The
rock seawall along Kingfisher Parade is evidence of this. Now the major contributor to
the erosion on the western end of the beach is this wall.
The survey has mentioned briefly setting up a Shoreline Erosion Management Plan
(SEMP) to manage this very serious erosion situation. The management team, whoever
it may be, will require community support to battle with some of the State Government
Departments regarding some of the activities that will take place on the beach. For
instance, trees that fall on the beach cannot be removed because they are now in fish
habitat. Special permission has to be given.
It is proposed that a small dredge and pipeline be set up to pump the lost sand out of
Beelbi Creek and the estuary back onto the beach close to the wall where geotextile
sand bags will be filled to make a reflective tidal barrier to protect the beach from
damage while the repair is taking place.
It is also proposed that no heavy earth moving machinery be used on this beach due to
the amount of damage to the infrastructure and biodiversity it will cause. History will
show that sand pushes and beach replenishment, which have been proposed are
expensive temporary measures with no structural value and must be opposed.
All levels of government are proposing a retreat from the coast policy due to the threat of
sea level rise. At the moment there is no imminent threat from sea-level rise, and I can
see no justification for retreating from the beach when a beach repair and stabilisation
process will protect inland properties for many years to come.
John H. McGinn, Toogoom.

The Fraser Coast Branch of Wildlife Queensland has chosen
two of its popular speakers for the Library Wildlife Talks in July,
namely Alan Peebles and Ruby Rosenfield. Both will be
illustrating their talks with captivating shots from their
comprehensive photo files.
Alan Peebles will again be presenting one of his descriptive bird
DVDs about our local birdlife. This will take place at the Hervey
Bay Library on Friday 16th July. Entitled "More Bird Watching
around Hervey Bay” and running for 40 minutes, the DVD will
show both sea and land birds and some of their specific habits.
There is always something new to learn from Alan's films and this one presents a must-see for the wildlife
lover.
Ruby will be presenting "Interesting Insects" at the Maryborough
Library on 30th July. She is a longstanding member of Wildlife
Queensland and has been working in the Fay Smith Wetlands in bush
rehabilitation for many years. While on her most treasured nature
walks, she has begun to notice a variety of different insects and has
cultivated an avid interest in them especially with dragonflies. She
often interacts with entomologists at the Queensland Museum. Ruby
is looking forward to introducing you to the vast and colourful world
of insects.
To book for both talks, commencing at 1pm, phone the Library on
4197 4220.
The Toogoom Community Book
Exchange is available when clubs
or groups are in the Hall, and we
are happy for people to come in
and exchange their books, while
the building is unlocked.
Please feel free to come at any of
these times, but please respect the
activities happening at the time.

…… latest from Project Linus
Hello everyone,
It's no good moaning about the higher electricity bill, some days we just need that heat. As you read this, a friend and
I will be away on a road trip to visit three friends. The route? First Toowoomba, then Manilla (near Tamworth) and
then down to Dungog in the Hunter Valley. Yes, we're totally mad! The thermals, socks and boots, gloves, scarves
and beanies will all be coming for the ride.
Our quilters have been extra busy! Liz and Zamie came to the Hall one Thursday and the following Sunday to catch
up on the backlog of quilts. With Susan's help with the pinning, they completed 23 quilts. Bravo! When the Ladies
have done the binding and labelling, the quilts will head for the Children's Hospital in Brisbane.
One of our Ladies Barb made a wonderful batch of lime
and ginger marmalade, and some mango and lime curd
(my favourite) to sell as a fund raiser for Linus. We get
lots of lovely fabric donations but our main expense is
wadding and thread.
Early last month, the Ladies had a Workshop to learn a
new technique called “Crumb Piecing". It involves the
use of our cutting machine called the Accuquilt which
cuts the fabric to a desired shape using cutting dies. As a
team the Ladies contributed some of their pieces and
Lorraine put them together into a lovely quilt (see pho-
to). Some of the ladies are in the process of completing
their own “Crumb" quilt.
Once again we have a specialist Applique Lady. Our
dear Desley has taken on the task that Meg used to do. I
told Desley that we'll have to call her Megsley. If you
have any enquiries about Linus and our work, please call
Lorraine on 0421 498 654. God bless and stay safe, Claire D

BURRUM HEADS UKELELE GROUP
As the year progresses, our Ukulele group (Burrum Heads Ukulele Group)
continues to meet every Sunday at the Burrum Heads Community Hall and
commences to play at 9.30AM.
We have been very pleased to continue to welcome new and visiting players every week. If you would
like to join us, or pop in to see ‘what we do’, please come a little earlier so you can be greeted and made
welcome before we start playing. Our group usually numbers from 15 - 20. Some weeks have a theme,
for example the ‘Christmas in July’ theme we played early in July, just so we could enjoy playing Christ-
mas music. There are so many lovely Christmas songs, why should they only be played once a year?
Also in July, we will be playing at Coalfest. We are putting in some extra hard work to make sure our
performances are of a high standard to entertain our audiences.
It is often thought that the ukulele is not a serious instrument, perhaps just a child’s toy!
Nothing could be further from the truth. The following is an extract from a Blog published by Ukulele-
Mate, an online ukulele store (ukulelemate.com.au).
‘The ukulele is a real, tangible, legitimate instrument. Just like guitars, basses,
pianos and so on. The ukulele is a lot of fun to play and is no more or less a
“real” instrument than any other instrument. If you play the ukulele, you’re a musi-
cian. You’ll often find bands composed of just ukulele players.
Ukuleles are actually descendants of traditional Portuguese instruments called
“machete de braga”
In next month’s Newsletter, we will continue with the Blog and find out why the
ukulele is so popular and if it is easier or harder to play than any other instruments.
(Our thanks go to Ukulelemate for the use of their informative Blog).
Please come along to any of our sessions to see what we do, please call Glenda
on 0435 597 503, or Jenny on 0407 589 722, or just turn up.

July already! Where has the first half of the year gone? We have had some cool winter mornings, with the
days turning into glorious weather making it a pleasure to be out in the garden.
It's "Coalfest" this month, and members of our club have been busy getting our annual float entry in the
parade ready to roll. Hope to see lots of entries this year and look forward to seeing the community out to
cheer us along.
We will also have a stall at Coalfest, so pop in and say hello. We also have a wonderful raffle, you may
have seen our members selling tickets around town, and tickets will also be for sale at the Coalfest stall.
With minimal rain and dam levels low (which many of us rely on), gardening over the last few years has
been a challenge. Hopefully the spring will bring some much needed rainfall. Mulching is essential to help
retain any moisture in the soil.
Some of our members enjoyed a wonderful day visiting Lupton Park Community Garden, along with a
visit to a gallery and museum. The Maryborough Wetlands had to be postponed due to weather.
Our next meeting is on the 14th July at 10am CWA Hall Howard.
Membership is only $5 for the year. We have a fun and knowledgeable group, and welcome new
members to join.
Look forward to seeing you at our meeting and on the 17th at Coalfest.
Gardening simply does not allow one to be mentally old, because too many hopes and dreams are yet to
be realized. – Allan Armitage

Anxious & stressed out, a feeling of
unease about the world and what’s
