We are still enjoying a wonderful autumn on the Mountain.  There has been enough warmth and moisture to keep things going, although as I write we have a very cold snap and I am huddled over a heater.  But, it is mid-May!  But the sombre news is that el Nino is back.  Sometimes el Nino hasn’t treated us too badly, so let’s hope that will be the case this time.

Beautiful weather and visitors started to arrive early.  Cups of tea/coffee with Anzac Biscuits was a very popular pit stop. Charlie was kept busy sharing his knowledge and know how on information relating to our Anzacs.  Martin and Michael in the blacksmith shop were kept going displaying their knowledge on the forge.  One of our younger visitors, Georgia Fitzgerald of Samford was fortunate and happy enough to don a replica of a Viking’s outfit, worn around 1000 to 1200.  This very heavy and impressive outfit was made by Martin.

Nominations for the 2015 Regional Achievement and Community Awards are now open.  Don’t miss your chance to acknowledge an organisation, club, group, business or individual you know who is making a real difference for you and the community. 

Members of AIR Brisbane North took a recent Social Trip to Maleny on the Obi Obi River, at Ponderosa Restaurant.

Our social events are strong as well as our Financial side.  Plus, we normally have a guest speaker.

We are enjoying a wonderful autumn on the Mountain, with glorious days and enough warmth and moisture to keep things really going.  The cattle on our place have never looked better.

Over forty excited Grade 2 children from Enogerra State School arrived by bus for their educational and social visit to the museum.  Children were divided into groups , with each group heading to a different area.  During their visit they discussed the difference between “years ago”, or as they call it “the olden days” to present day life and technology.
