DINGOES
Firstly, THANK YOU to all those people who rang to let me know that they too were experiencing dingo/wild dog problems.  Some of the reports I heard gave me goose bumps – an old family pet attacked whilst slowly walking behind their owner (albeit some way behind) and dogs (of reasonable size i.e. not ‘toys’) attacked on their home doorstep!!  Giving an insight into the cyclic nature of this problem is an article from a professional dogger, Andrew Donaldson – see DINGOES – WILD DOGS.

Letter to Editor June 08

Dear Editor,

Many residents have noticed the continued and escalating clearing of koala food trees and other natives within the Moreton Bay Regional Council area.  Recently, the Department of Main Roads removed trees on Youngs Crossing Road, Joyner, regularly used by koalas and other native wildlife.  No wildlife ecologist was present and legislation designed by the EPA to protect koalas was not adhered to.

DINGOES – WILD DOGS

Here is some timely information from Andrew Donaldson.  Andrew has been providing professional dogger services to Millmerran Shire Council and within the Brisbane valley area for several years, however he lives within our local area.  His contact details appear at the end of this article.
While it may seem  like Wild Dogs are on the increase within our shire, there could be a simple reason why we are seeing more of them, waking in the middle of the night to their mournful howls (for those of us lucky enough to live on acreage), or hearing about our neighbours beloved small pets being attacked sometimes even in the middle of the day.

MT MEE NEWS June08

by Ian Wells
 Dry again! The second half of March was disappointing and April yielded just 14mm in total from scattered dribbles.  May has not troubled the gauge at all either! This is not a promising start to winter…….
As expected, bookings are strong for the St Lucia Orchestra concert on Sunday 15th.

Baha’is Form New Amalgamated Moreton Bay Regional Assembly
