DRAW FOR FARM SAFETY
Calling all creative Queensland school students. Get out your crayons and put your thinking caps on because entries are now open for the 2022 QLD Farm Safety Calendar. Primary school students are encouraged to draw a picture that promotes farm safety messages such as electrical safety, animal safety, tractor and machinery safety, quad bike safety, water safety, fire safety and health and wellbeing. The 12 winners will not only have their masterpiece published in the calendar, they'll also win a $250 gift voucher each plus $500 for their school. Students can enter up until June 25 with winners to be announced in September. Contact your local State Government representative for submission details.
Tawny frogmouth Podargus strigoides With their nocturnal habit and owl like appearance, tawny frogmouths are often confused with owls, but are actually related to the nightjars. Their feet are weak and lack the curved talons of owls.
The general plumage of the tawny frogmouth is silver grey, slightly paler below, streaked and mottled with black and rufous. A second plumage phase also occurs, with birds being russet red. The eye is yellow in both forms, and the wide, heavy bill is olive grey to blackish. South eastern birds are larger than birds from the north. During the day, they perch on tree branches, appearing as part of the tree.
The tawny frogmouth can be observed in almost any habitat type (except the denser rainforests and treeless deserts), including heath, forest and woodlands, urban and rural areas.
The tawny frogmouth is found throughout Australia, including Tasmania.
Melaleuca quinquenervia is probably the most familiar of the ‘paperbarks’ in eastern Australia. It is a very common species along coastal streams and swamps and is widely cultivated. It is a small to medium sized tree which can reach 25 metres but is usually up to 12 metres in cultivation. The bark is persistent and develops a multi layered papery habit. The bark can be easily peeled off in sheets. The leaves are flat and leathery, about 70mm x 20mm with 5 distinctive longitudinal veins. Flowers appear as short bottlebrush spikes, creamy white in colour and 50mm long. M. quinquenervia is hardy in a range of climates and is particularly useful for poorly drained sites. It is an attractive tree which is very useful for landscaping. The white, papery trunk is particularly appealing. Birds are attracted to the nectar in the flowers.
RECYCLING IN MAPLETON
SPECTACLES ARE COLLECTED AT THE MAPLETON COMMUNITY LIBRARY.
The Mapleton Bowls Club is collecting bottles and cans with the refunds going to sponsor an event at the Club. There is a convenient collection point which is a wheelie bin placed at the foot of the entry stairs. This bin can be distinguished from others as it has a round hole in its roof where you can pop-in the recycle items. QLD container refund scheme in the school car park. All proceeds go to the Mapleton State School P&C. All your donations would be gratefully received and will go towards resources for our school and students. Mapleton Men’s Shed is also a receiving depot for recycling cans and bottles. These may be left in the sulo bins in front of the storage shed in Mapleton Forest Drive. Please do not crush the cans you deposit for recycling. JP SERVICES
