NEWSLETTER
ASSOCIATION NEWS
Our meeting on 16th September was attended by 29
members and 3 visitors including Les MucKan from Fraser
Coast Regional Council. Apologies were received from 14
members. It is encouraging to see people interested in their
town’s development making the time to attend these
meetings.
Tennis Courts: Lighting and power have now been
connected to the courts and the shelter shed. The members
of the Tennis Court committee have done an admirable job
in getting these courts ready for the community’s use. To
celebrate the completion of the work a free sausage sizzle
and tennis night will be held at the courts on Saturday 10th
October from 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm for the sausage sizzle
and 5.30 pm to 9.30 pm for the tennis courts. Drinks will
be available for purchase at a nominal cost.
Illegal Campers: The “Illegal Camping” signs have now
been erected. However, don’t ring the council at
weekends. They are unable to respond at weekends; but
they are moving to have two rangers working 7 days a
week soon. The only action taken, though, is a warning.
Boat Ramp: The Fraser Coast Regional Council and
Department of Transport are conducting a guide rails trial
at the ramp. Council has indicated that the guide rails are
to assist members of the public when they are reversing
down the ramp; also to stop build-up of sand and gravel on
the ramp.
Council will be reviewing all submissions received prior to
a similar installation planned for the River Heads boat
ramp. The review is scheduled for completion by 30
September 2009. Should anyone wish to comment on the
issue, written submissions can be made to Jamie Bunt,
Coastal Management Officer, Fraser Coast Regional
Council, PO Box 1943, Hervey Bay.
PLEASE DO NOT FISH FROM THE BOAT RAMPS – It is a
dangerous practice and we do not want someone injured.
Traviston Park: The picnic tables were removed as a
result of their deteriorated state and not meeting acceptable
standards for safety. There is a current program that tables
are being replaced one by one. The delays with the
playground equipment have occurred due to problems
seeking replacement parts. This is very close to
completion.
Retaining wall at Lions Park: Discussions have been
held with consulting engineers. The 2009-10 Budget has
allocated funds for contracting consulting engineers for
assessment and recommendations for repairs and upgrades.
Water Supply: Wide Bay Water has embarked on a
million dollar water re-use program involving the re-use of
wastewater to be recycled on a hardwood tree plantation to
be established at Dreamtime Avenue Farm. This involves
the construction of a 7km pipeline from the present
treatment plant to the farm.
Because the laying of the pipes is adjacent to the water
pipeline, WBW has reduced the pressure in the water main
to minimise the risk of a pipe bursting while this work is
carried out. That is why we have had poor water pressure
during the last couple of weeks.
Hall Cleaning: A reminder once again that if you would
like to join our team of volunteers who keep our
Community Hall clean it is a great way to get to know
people and help your community at the same time. Please
contact Lesley on 4129 5410 if you are interested.
For further details contact the Secretary, Dawn Fletcher on
4129 5691 or the President, Ron Gregson on 4129 5842 or
at [email protected] .
The next meeting of the Association will beheld on Wednesday 21
st October 2009
commencing at 7.00pm sharp at theCommunity Hall.

This year is really flying with school holidays here
again. This means only 14 weeks to Christmas Day.
Crafts are going very well with many visitors
calling at our group on Monday morning on their
way home south.
Crafts: September – Lyn is teaching a class how to
make a bookmark with a difference.
October - Net Darning Embroidery will be
taught by Veronica M. This is a very interesting
craft and some of the finished articles will be
framed for a picture.
This year our Charity Fund-raiser will be “Turn on
the Tap” project. It is difficult to imagine life
without readily available clean water but in many
nations it’s not easy to turn on the tap. One child
dies every 20 seconds from diseases related to dirty
drinking water. By filling a 600ml bottle with $2
coins this will add up to as much as $600 which will
provide two small communities with one hand-dug
well fitted with a hand pump.
The ladies are still knitting for the AIDS babies.
The last garments were sent to Papua New Guinea
and Africa.
Come and join us on Monday morning – 9.00 –
11.30 – for a very enjoyable morning.
Alice and Joan.

Don’t Be DiscouragedAustralia is known as a ‘Nation of Knockers’ and, as such,
people are often reluctant to put forward new ideas or
inventions in fear of derision and so become discouraged
in the face of opposition.
Discouragement is a prime tool of the enemy and must be
resisted at all costs. God’s word has the incredible capacity
to be able to dismiss it in a moment if only we put it in our
heart and, as Joshua discovered, also in our mouth (Joshua
1.5).
If we put God’s word in both our heart and our mouth,
discouragement can never stay. God’s word is a living
word and we, as recipients of His grace, need to discover
this vital yet basic point again.
There is a simple rule of spiritual victory which will help
the life of any believer. “Stop studying the problem and
start studying the promises!” Direct your expectations,
your believing, your imagination in the things God has
said.
Do not settle for what man or even Satan may say to you or
about you. Settle only for the things that God plainly
declares to you personally and in His written word.
Stop studying the problem and start studying the promises.
Be encouraged by God and not discovered by the Enemy.
“Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world” (1
John 4.4). Pastor Geoff.
VALE CEDRIC GILLOWAY
Older residents will remember the friendly face of this former butcher of Burrum Heads who
passed away on 1 August 2009 aged 80.
Cedric was born in Kalbar, near Boonah, where he spent most of his early life, eventually
becoming a butcher who bought the shop where he was originally apprenticed. After a short
stint in the RAN when he met his wife, Marie in Melbourne, he returned to live in Kalbar
where he continued butchering.
In the ‘60’s they moved to Melbourne for a few years and then back to Brisbane where he worked at various
butcher shops including the meat department of a Coles supermarket.
In 1987 Cedric and Marie moved to Burrum Heads and shortly afterwards opened the Burrum Beef Boutique
where he could be his own boss again. They decided to retire for good at the end of 1995.
Following Marie’s death from pancreatic cancer in 1996, Cedric returned to Kalbar where Marie had been
interred and became involved in several community organisations. He eventually lost his eyesight and was
diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year. He was laid to rest in Kalbar where he joins Marie.
Welcome to the holidaymakers visiting Burrum
Heads for the School holidays. We hope your stay is
enjoyable and safe.
We extend an invitation to all to attend any of our
church services. Di London.

Hazard reduction burning is still being conducted
throughout the North Coast Region in preparation for
a busy fire season for Rural Fire Service volunteers.
In the Maryborough area alone, more than 200
controlled burns have been conducted over the past
12 months.
All the local Hervey Bay brigades are well prepared
for the summer ahead, and it is good that most will
have a boost in crew numbers following a successful
state-wide recruiting effort.
The Maryborough District training teams have taken
these new recruits through the Fire-fighter Minimum
Skills program and to my knowledge, no candidates
were judged as being "not yet competent." The senior
team members in those brigades will further develop
the skills and knowledge base of each of our
'newbies' as they progress through their career as one
of the 44,000 Queensland Volunteer Rural Fire
Fighters.
Stay Safe. Ken Fardon.
BURRUM HEADS RURAL FIRE BRIGADE
By the time you are reading this article, we, the
Executive Committee, will have had a meeting with
the Fraser Coast Regional Council to discuss the
progress of our new shed. Fingers crossed that we
have a positive outcome. We have been working on
this project now for over 4 years and it would be
nice to have an end to it all.
We have to give the entire community a big pat on
the back and say ‘Thank You’ for all of your support
when it comes to our fund raising activities.
Without your help we could not even dream of
having a shed big enough to support the community
in a disaster.
Whilst talking about fund raising, I must say a
further big ‘Thank You’ to the Village Voices who
are holding an afternoon of fun, laughter and song
to raise money for our project. Why not come along,
enjoy the afternoon; have a cuppa and a piece of
cake. You won’t be disappointed. Starts 2pm on
the 17th October. We’ll see you there.
Should you wish to join the SES as a member or as
a Support member, don’t hesitate to give me a call
on 0437 295 508. We would love to see you.

BURRUM HEADS OUTRIGGER CANOE CLUBThey're back....Stingrays are showing up in numbers
both in the river and out on the flats at the river
mouth. Dugongs have been seen feeding between the
first and second beacon during the month, and sadly
two dead ones have been sighted, one upstream in the
mangroves, and one on the beach down towards
Marsh Creek.
The spring weather has been a bit windy, however
our paddling has gone on uninterrupted as we always
have shelter somewhere upstream to paddle.
Now we may not be a fishing club, and I haven't got
my newsletters mixed up, but when one of our
paddlers catches a 16 Kg Red Emperor off Seventeen
Seventy he deserves bragging rights somewhere. Well
done Peter Akers !
Seventeen Seventy was also the venue for the annual
pilgrimage of some eighty Outrigger/Surf fanatics
who put their skills and their outrigger canoes to the
test in the waves at the river mouth. We joined
paddlers from Hervey Bay to Gladstone for the
annual "Spring Has Sprung Outrigger Surf Classic"
catching two to three metre waves on runs of up to
500 metres across the face of the entrance. One of our
juniors had eyes the size of fifty cent pieces when
two whales and a calf surfaced 20 metres from the
outrigger, and still had them when he shot down his
first wave sitting in the front of a six man canoe. Now
that's living!
We can't Guarantee that excitement every day but if
you want to try Outrigging.....Sundays 8 am ... Call
41295635, or 41295226 for more information.
Junior Outriggers: Saturdays 8.30 am, Wednesdays
4.15pm. Contact Julie Bray 41295711 for more
information.
Another month, another regatta, this time an OC1
event for juniors hosted by the Kai Puna Club in
Hervey Bay. Conditions were the worst encountered
so far with 20 knot northerlies blowing into the bay
whipping up confused seas and a nasty shore break.
Some of our juniors wisely elected not to compete,
but those who did performed well even though
capsizes were the order of the day. Grace Riley
continued her winning run, even after a capsize on
the run home, she quickly recovered to surf in to
victory in the girls U12 sprint. Matt Randall stayed
upright in the boys U14 sprint to claim a second, and
Jayden Kennedy survived the biggest set of waves to
finish third in the U12 boys sprint. My award
however, goes to Isaac Roberts who capsized five
times but wouldn’t give up, and recovered each time
to finally finish his race. That’s the spirit of
Outrigging.
All are eagerly looking forward to the Gubbi Gubbi
juniors only regatta in Mooloolaba over 26/28th
September. We are taking 14 juniors to this regatta
which will be contested both in the surf at
Mooloolaba and on the lake at Kawana, giving our
juniors a chance to use to advantage their Burrum
River training. You will see them practicing sprints,
turns and changeovers during the next week in
preparation for three days of competition. Looks like
another fun weekend coming up.

caught a reasonable mixed bag, including:-Pearl
Perch, Red Throat, Snapper, Red Emperor, Gold
Spot Wrasse, Trag Jew, Maori Cod, Moses Perch,
and Hussar. Ron Underwood took the pool for the
best fish, a 4.5 kg Red Emperor. He also landed a
3kg Pearl Perch in his nice mixed bag. Mick
Saunders had the biggest fish of the trip, a 10.2kg
Cobia. He also had a 2.5kg Red Throat Emperor in
his bag.
Next Charter will be the "KJ" leaving Saturday
morning 19th Sept from Hervey Bay for a day
trip. The "Coastwide"out of Tin Can Bay will also
be heading offshore Fraser Island on the same day
for our "workers' trip which was previously
postponed. The "Nightbeat" out of Tin Can Bay is
booked for 28th, 29th, 30th Sept. Some berths are
still available.
Trip Captain Paul has been authorised to book 9 of
next years charters in advance to ensure more
weekend trips as they are usually heavily booked.
Paul will also book the "Venus II" out of
Bundaberg as a trip suitable/preferential for
couples out to the Musgrave Island area.
Club members have requested that we encourage
the use of private boats for fishing both in the river
and offshore. To this end it is proposed that the
third weekend weigh in for October, Sunday 18th
be followed by a lunch BYO/ BBQ possibly at the
Community Hall or Hotel BBQ area. A nomination
sheet will be posted on the club board at the Hotel,
and suitable trophies will be awarded for best
estuary fish and best reef species for the weekend.
If sufficient interest is shown this will become a
monthly or bi-monthly event.
We are sorry to lose our secretary Denise who has
resigned for personal reasons, and thank her for
doing an excellent job over the past six months. We
welcome Helen Shepherd who has kindly accepted
the appointment to secretary for the remainder of
the term.
The 2009 Christmas Party is set down for Sunday
6th December. Possibly under a Marquee at the
back of the hotel, and catered for by the hotel. To
be confirmed at the next meeting.
Next meeting will be on the 11th October.
Thank you Stan and Marlene for hosting the last
BBQ (and abundance of caramel tarts).
Next BBQ will be hosted by Alf and Rhonda
Stankevicius at 28 Orchid Drive, Burrum Heads.
Until Next Month, Safe Boating

BURRUM HEADS BLUE WATER BOAT CLUB
Spring has arrived but it
feels more like early
summer, and still the
winds persist to blow,
spoiling planned fishing
outings. This is the
period of change-over from winter species to
summer species in the Burrum river systems.
The good oil from Daryl from Burrum Traders is
that there are large lizards being caught off both
boat ramps, mackerel are hanging around the
markers and summer whiting are being taken off
sandbars in and around the islands. Don’t be the
catch of the day. Summer whiting do not have
black blotches on them and the minimum length is
23mm with a bag limit of 30.
The club’s fishing competition was held from
Friday 11th to Sunday 13
th September. Biggest bag
men’s was taken out by Paul Coleman with a
flathead weighing 2.4kg. The biggest bag ladies
went to Leanne Coleman with 1.43kg in mixed
fish. Paul Di’Cesare was rewarded with a prize for
a mackerel in the secret weight.
Ron Henderson also won with a flathead of
.846grams. The surprise draw went to Don McNeil
with a garfish.
Our next fishing competition will be 2nd, 3
rd and 4
th
October. Anyone wishing to become members of
our club, please join us at Lion’s Park on Sunday 4th
at approx. 4.30pm, or, alternatively, ring the
Secretary, Trevor Lock, on 4129 5101.
Good fishing, but remember – ‘limit your catch, not
catch your limit.’

Our coordinator, Sara, is having a hard
time health wise and has had another
spell in hospital. Ellen Higgins picked
up the reins of the group and has been
heading up the working bees. Ellen
hosted a frog identification session at
her home where members viewed a
powerpoint presentation of frogs and
listened to their calls.
Ellen was away for the working bee on September 16 where
seven keen volunteers pulled out more pesky Rhodes grass
and planted 30 new plants. The plants are swamp loving
species: Melaleuca thymifolia which grows to about 50 cm
and has lilac flowers and Melaleuca pachyphyllus (used to
be Callistemon Pachyphyllus but the botanical boffins have
changed all the Callistemon species to Melaleuca just to
keep us on our toes). Melaleuca pachyphyllus is a
bottlebrush that gets a bit over a metre high. It can have red
or green flowers. It grows in the swampy parts of the
National Park along the Burrum Heads Road. The plants put
on a beautiful display this year with masses of lime green
bottlebrush flowers. The variety we were supplied with was
the red variety. Maggie is going to pot some tube stuff on
for us and we will have another planting day next March/
April. We will see how these ones that we have put in cope
with the summer heat.
Cheelii Lagoon has been accepted as a Land for Wildlife
property and we have asked Council to erect the signs.
We are also going to put up signs notifying owners that this
is a Fraser Coast Regional Council Community Volunteer
natural areas project. It is illegal to cut down vegetation
around the lagoon. The Friends of Cheelii are very keen to
work with residents bordering the lagoon and have done a
major thinning out of paperbarks to provide waterviews and
also to allow the remaining paperbarks to become better
specimens. If you live there come out and see us during our
working bees as we are always interested in your views.
One resident inquired why it couldn't all be mown like the
public area with the formal gardens. The fact is that wildlife
cannot survive in mown areas - except for the aggressive
black and white birds such as magpies and ibis.
A frog would stand out like the proverbial and soon be taken
by a kookaburra. Most animals, especially ones that are
eaten by other animals, need cover and frogs need shallow
ephemeral pools to breed in with reeds to hide in and near
by bushes and grass to feed in.
If you wish to be involved, our working bees are the last
Wednesday of the month so the next one will be September
30 at 8 am, Ivor Curl Drive. Wear a hat and covered shoes
and bring a hoe or mattock. A chair is also handy because
we have a cuppa after our hard work.
If you have any questions please ring Ellen who lives at 66
Sunrise Crescent, Burrum Heads - Ph 4129 5883.
