I would like to thank members of the RFS who successfully fought a bushfire on my property “Kywong” Lake Bathurst, on Monday 11th January 2016.
Units from Tarago, Windellama, Gundary, Currawang, Taylors Creek and Bungonia all worked to contain this fire and kept it from entering heavy timbered country to the northeast with assistance from a task force from Palerang Shire, Lake George and Goulburn Mulwaree. No stock, buildings or equipment were lost.
I cannot begin to thank all those involved. I want to especially thank the Keatley family and McMahon families, Danny McGaw, Brett Roberts, The Windellama Community, Tarago CWA Fife’s Stockfeeds, Marulan Rural and Hill & Co Mobil and Australian Stockyard Co.
A heartfelt Thank You to the Windellama Garden Club and its generous members, who have donated and installed a larger water-tank, to service the toilet facility at St Bartholomews’ Church. It is a gift that will be appreciated by many members of the Windellama Community for years to come!
As for the person who complained that the new tank was empty!!..all we can say is thanks again to Rex and the Windellama RFS for their help, in time for Harvest Festival.
Regards

We arrived on a sunny morning (following a wild storm the previous night) to a warm welcome from David & Melissa at Bungonia Creek Winery (open every Sunday for wine tasting or by appointment). With a flourish of David’s cape laid over the muddy walkway, we entered onto the verandah with gasps of ooh & ah looking at their wondrous views.
After an introduction to their property, our large group split into 2 led by David & Melissa and we were given an extensive tour of their gardens, hothouses and greenhouses. They use a combination of systems including aquaponics, hydroponics, wicking beds, biodynamics, and rotating beds to grow a large variety of vegetables, herbs, plants, flowers and trees. Also Hugelkultur raised garden beds, a permaculture method of fungi transforming woody debris into a garden – benefits include water retention and warming of soil. An interesting item in the hydroponics system was a small pot containing eggshells – David explained that these would neutralise the slightly acidic water as they dissolved.
We then adjourned to the verandah for our morning tea and discussion of our member’s garden problems. Katie is having a major snail invasion everywhere (all they can hear is crunch, crunch, crunch) underfoot – suggestions included setting beer traps but problems if the men find them and don’t expect snails in there! Another suggestion was to get some Khaki Campbells because they don’t eat greenery – Muscovy ducks do (but keep out of the doodoo). Wazza has a peach of a problem with bugs in them. Joy has black mildew over all her mint – replant the mint into in a sunny spot because the
shade & humidity is probably causing this. Discussion about apple trees – apples grow on new growth spurs so prune heavily in summer but lightly in winter. We also welcomed Jo West from Towrang into our group.
Enthusiastically we enjoyed a tasting of David & Melissa’s wines – rosé, merlot, shiraz & cabernet sauvignon. When we had sampled and purchased some bottles it was off to view the vineyards. Their beautiful white maremma sheepdog, Magnum, guards the heritage Southdown sheep (short legs) that graze on the grass in the 5 acres of vineyards. Everywhere you turned were more great views. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bungonia Creek Winery and thank David & Melissa for their wonderful hospitality.
Our next meeting will be at Bruce & Doreen’s at Run O’Waters on Tuesday 1st March. As always, everybody is welcome.

BUSH FIRE DANGER PERIOD COMMENCES ON 1ST OCTOBER 2015
SOUTHERN TABLELANDS ZONE
NSW Rural Fire Service SOUTHERN TABLELANDS ZONE has declared the start to the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) as at 1st OCTOBER 2015.
From October 1, any person wishing to light a fire in GOULBURN MULWAREE, UPPER LACHLAN and YASS VALLEY Local Government areas will require a permit.
During a Total Fire Ban however, no fires of any kind may be lit
even if you hold a permit
PERMITS REQUIRED From October 1
Fines can apply if regulations are not carried out.
During a Total Fire Ban however, no fires of any kind may be lit even if you hold a permit. Take Care: Once again we would like to remind you that extreme care must be taken when working outside such as welding or using grinders and in particular when driving in long grass or using a slasher or mower as all these events can easily result in the start of a fire.
THINK BEFORE WORKING OUTSIDE DURING THE FIRE SEASON
Always have water available for quick use
In particular when working with welders and grinders
Electric fences can cause fires. When the fire danger rating is very high or above it is recommended that electric fences be turned off. This action will reduce fires accidently ignited by these fences. Maintenance can be undertaken to remove vegetation by spraying or brush cutting under the fence lines. Over the Last Month The Captain Rex Hockey advised that there were no incidents over the last month. COMING EVENT - BRIGADE AUCTION 23rd APRIL 2016 Brigade Auction to be held on the 23rd April at the Windellama Hall & Grounds. So now is the time to get together all those unused goods as they could be exactly what someone else is looking for. If you can spare some time to help either with catering, in the office or on the grounds please contact 4844 5359 as much of the setting up and work is done on the day before as well as on the day. Become involved in your community and be assured your assistance and efforts are greatly appreciated. Training: If you wish to take part in the Windellama Brigade training or be contacted by email regarding the monthly training details visit the Brigades website and send an online contact form or email [email protected].

It’s not often that Southern Tablelands WIRES has the opportunity to rescue a threatened species, but one such occasion was when a female Gang-gang cockatoo was found near Crookwell standing stunned in the middle of the road amongst a lot of feathers, obviously having suffered a vehicle collision. She was still ‘with it’ enough to not want to be caught, and latched onto and opened up one of our volunteer member’s fingers – a good sign (although the member wasn’t impressed!) The bewildered Gang-gang was taken straight to Crookwell Vet Hospital where an examination revealed nothing broken (fortunately), and a diagnosis of head and/or spinal trauma was made. She was taken into temporary care with our branch, and subsequently transferred to a specialist carer at Fitzroy Falls. She received intensive TLC in a heated hospital cage for 8 days, with a further 8 days in a hospital aviary, eventually making a full recovery. As she lost a lot of feathers from one wing, and also all of her tail feathers, she remained in further care for quite some time until the feathers regrew enabling her to fly, after which she was successfully released.
The Gang-gang cockatoo (Callocephalon fimbriatum) is listed as a ‘Vulnerable Species’ under the ‘New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act’ – so every one we can save is a bonus.
SOME QUICK GANG-GANG FACTS:
• Males are slate-grey with a scarlet head and crest.
• Females have a grey head and crest, and the feathers on the under-parts are edged with salmon pink • Gang-gangs require hollows in the trunks or large limbs of old growth trees in which to breed. • They do not breed until the relatively late age of four years, so this combined with feral predation, habitat loss and degradation, has contributed to the species decline.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP CARE FOR OUR NATIVE WILDLIFE?
If so, why not consider becoming a WIRES volunteer? We are always in need of volunteers to help care for our injured and/or orphaned wildlife. The WIRES Rescue & Immediate Care Course can provide you with the basic skills to do that. Training is undertaken online, at your own pace – with one face-to-face workshop. The next Rescue & Immediate Care Workshop will be held in Goulburn on Sunday, 3
rd April, 2016. To find out more please ‘phone 0458 720470
For help with injured wildlife please ring our Rescue number – 4822 3888, our volunteers will be only too happy to assist.
Above left: A male Gang-gang cockatoo. Above right: The rescued female Gang-gang in her hospital cage. Inset – until Gang-gang was strong enough to self-feed, she was crop fed, to ensure she received adequate nutrition to aid her recovery.

Australia Day Honours List recognises Windellama local, Graham Kinder
On 26th January our local resident Graham Kinder, was privileged to be awarded the prestigious Emergency Services Medal by the Governor-General, His Excellency the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd).
The Emergency Services Medal (ESM) recognises distinguished service by members of emergency services across Australia, and people who are involved in emergency management, training or
education. The Governor-General awards the Emergency Services Medal on the recommendation of the responsible Commonwealth, state and territory Ministers.
On Australia Day, Graham was invited to address a large crowd at Goulburns’ Victoria Park. In addition to thanking his wife Vickie and daughters Jade and Claire, for their patience and support, he took the opportunity to encourage all of us to give something back to our community through Volunteering.
While some folk spend time trying to undermine our Volunteers, we could all look to Graham as an example of how to put all that nonsense behind us and stay truly focussed on the important

Update on Windellama Landcare; A meeting and a Working Bee
Hello Everyone,
The year has opened to a promising start for Windellama Landcare. With our first meeting for the year we’ve outlined a couple of interesting projects for the upcoming year. Having planned the conclusion of some old projects, and the beginning of some new ones, it looks to be a busy year for our little group.
The first two important dates for us will be the 30th of April, and the 28th of May. And, in the spirit of the group I’d like to extend an invitation to the community at large to come and join us, as well as to remind all our members to save these dates.
For anyone interested in pitching in and maybe learning a few new skills, the 30th of April will be the first working bee for the year. Several years ago the group began a project on the area of Crown Land at Budjong Creek. Most of this project has been complete for some time, however there is still a bit of fencing that needs to be done to completely finish the job. We’ll be meeting up at the project site, which is easy to find. It’s about 1km along Sandy Point Rd from the corner of Oallen Ford Rd. It’s on the right hand side and you will easily find all our vehicles. It’s a great opportunity to come along and learn how to (or help to) put up a fence with people who have been putting up fences in Windellama’s tricky clay-soil for decades. So please join us for a cuppa before we start at 9.30 am.
If you’re wondering what it is that Landcare does (or just want a reminder of what we’ve done in the area) the 28th of May will be a day set aside for us to go and visit some of our past projects. Starting at the Landcare Headquarters at Windellama Hall, we will then all drive out and revisit some of our past project sites to see how they are going some years after the work has been done. We’re set to start up at 10am.
Even if you just want to participate in our general meeting, please feel free to come along on either of these dates. To our old hands, we’ll look forward to seeing you, and to any newcomers we’d love to meet you too.
Kind Regards,
Jade Kinder
Secretary Windellama Landcare
issues. “I am humbled by this recognition” he said “but it does give me the opportunity to ask you to seriously consider supporting our local Rural Fire Service Brigade members, get behind our local School and our Can Assist (Cancer Assistance network), join the local State Emergency Service Unit, come along to Progress Association meetings, etc.
He has since been invited to talk to Communities across NSW and he is continuing his State-wide volunteer work in training leaders of the NSW Fire and Rescue, NSW Ambulance, NSW RFS and NSW State Emergency Service.

Nerriga Garden club had its first outing of the year with a visit to Marie and Merv Hutt's gorgeous property along Nerriga Road. The weather was kind and the whole area looked amazing for the time of year with green grass everywhere and water in the dam. Amazing what a good downpour in January can achieve along with good landcare practices. The vegetable patch is all in raised beds and the cucumbers were surpassing themselves. Does everyone have a glut this year? Marie has managed to get Clivias to survive in our climate but has tucked them between the rainwater tanks which will lessen the impact of the frosts and her Hippeastrums had flowered and were flowering. Agapanthus were thriving and fruit trees growing.
Next month we hope to visit Sue Patrick at Peggy's Gully on Oallen Road and see the progress made since emptying several ute loads of dirt into her raised beds. For those not in the know meet at Oallen Road and Nerriga Road Junction at 09-45hrs for a tag along and then car pool. Di Roberts who has faithfully recorded all our meetings for the past years has had to retire from her journalist role with a move to Nowra imminent, she will still be attending when able and we will no doubt descend on her during the winter months. All enquiries to Kay Hamer 48459021 best after dusk or leave very clear message or [email protected]
Richard Bull was the first Post Master at Windellama. The location of the farm has not been established. He only operated the Post Office for about eight months when Mrs Cartwright took over. It seemed a bit odd that Richard Bull would only conduct the Post Office for such a short time so I looked into the circumstances of his departure.
On 24 January 1864 Richard went out to round up his cows when the dogs startled a kangaroo. He gave chase and coming near a tree with a low branch he tried to pass on the other side but the horse swerved to the side where the branch was.
The Branch struck the unfortunate Richard in the abdomen flinging him to the ground. Dr Waugh of Goulburn was sent for but there was nothing that he could be done and Richard died at 1 p.m. the following day. He was buried in the old St. Saviours cemetery at Goulburn, his grave being marked by a carved headstone.
Richard was born in 1833 at Liverpool into a large family, his parents being John and Mary Bull. He was married in 1855 to Maria Rowley of Liverpool. They had 5 children, John Thomas born 1856, Richard N born 1858, Sydney E born 1860 (died 1862), Charles F born 1862 and the last one, Mary L was born a few months after Richard died.
For a number of years Richard’s brother John Bull operated the “Carriers Arms” Inn in Grafton Street, Goulburn.
After Richard’s death Maria and her children moved back to her parents at Liverpool where she died in 1873.
