There have been some good fallsof rain in the Blackall Tambo Re-gional Council area with an excep-tional registration of some 250mmat Manning near Tambo on theTambo-Augathella section of theLandsborough highway. Thereare ows in many creeks and the
Barcoo river has risen once again.
What an exciting weekend despitethe rain and the cancellation ofthe Blackall race meeting. I wasfortunate enough to attend theopening of Milynda Rogers artexhibition at the Grassland Galleryin Tambo on Friday evening wheresome forty delighted people fromacross the entire central andsouthern parts of the West weretreated to an excellent and diverseexhibition of art and sculpture.
The Wine Women and Song
evening at the Blackall CulturalCentre was an event to remember!There was great entertainment atthe event which supported breastcancer research and support groupWestnBreast. Generous donorsgave prizes which were drawnon the night. Lenore Fletcherwon the QANTAS prize of a ight
to Brisbane for two. ColleenWemyss won the Landmark prize.Sally Campbell won the basket of
shing gear donated by Melit andPeter Furneaux.
Congratulations to committeemembers Avril Fazel, Robyn Adamsand Alison Mobbs and to themany members of the community
both young and more mature whogave of their time and talents toensure the event was such asuccess. I would also thank ourcouncil staff for their efforts in theadministration area of the event.It was indeed a great communityevent, very well supported bywomen from all over the Central
West.Clean Up Australia was very wellattended in Blackall with aroundfty community spirited people
spending a couple of hours toensure the cleanliness of our townand its surrounds. I am sure theyenjoyed the sausage sizzle andcool drinks afterwards.

Two inches of pouring rain didntdeter art enthusiasts attending theopening of Milynda Rogers rst solo
exhibition, Changing Perceptions.Friends and supporters travelledfrom Alpha, Aramac, Muttaburraand Morven to celebrate with
Milynda and her husband Darryl.Unfortunately Milyndas motherwas unable to attend and HazelRogers presented her with a divinebunch of gerberas on her mothersbehalf.
Milyndas long association andconnections with Tambo madethe Grassland Art Gallery theideal venue for her inauguralexhibition; the gallery is built onthe location of the old Rogers Store
which boasted a mural painted byMilynda on the western wall.
Father-in-law, Bill Rogers openedthe exhibition and delighted the
crowd with stories of Milyndasearly days entering the familyand her involvement with RogersGrocery Store, where she hungher work when she was in juniorhigh. Bill and Hazel were amongthe rst to purchase artworks from
Milynda, when they swappeda painting for a formal dress forsenior graduation.
Not being a keen public speakerMilynda wanted to make surethat when she did is was aboutsomething that really matteredto her. She spoke of the source ofher inspiration, her admiration ofFred Hollows and John Flynn andabout kindness, because kindnessis an excuse to believe in ourselves
and the world around us. Thereare two paintings in the exhibitionfrom which the prots will be
donated to two charities, the Fred
Hollows Foundation and the Royal
Flying Doctor Service. Tambo
Main Street is being tendered by
a silent auction and the proceeds
from the sale of RFDS over the
Warrego will be donated directly
to that organisation.Changing Perceptions is an
exhibition full of colour and
texture, exploring the persistence
of beauty in nature with local
scenes and vistas from Aramac,
Lake Dunn and Tambo. Three
fantastic sculptures created from
twisted barbed wire and with very
strong wrist work add another
dimension to the show.
The exhibition will on displayat the Grassland Art Gallery from
8.30 4.45pm until April 22.

If you are a grazier, are you amember of Meat and LivestockAustralia (MLA)? If you sell sheepor cattle and pay levies, then youare eligible to join. You do need toapply but its just a piece of paper.No cost. Members get a range of
magazines and are eligible to attendworkshops. MLA has BusinessEdge Workshops scheduled forRoma in April and Barcaldine for14/15 June.
Previous business news articleshave spoken about the rate ofchange around the world. Anotherexample is that Amazon.com, theworld biggest bookshop, sold moreelectronic books in 2010 thanreal books. Perhaps thats why
bookshops around the world aregoing broke.Speaking of change, try this
quiz. What company was startedsix years ago by a 19 year oldwho designed a website to helphim meet more girls? Well, thatcompany is now worth $50 billion,its free services are used by 500million users plus worldwide andit has been used as a tool to toppletwo governments just this year,Tunisia and Egypt. The answer?Facebook. Many will shake theirhead at this in disbelief.
Are big changes possible forBlackall and Tambo? Well, thatsperhaps what the people in theWestern Downs Regional Councilarea, including Dalby, Chinchilland Miles, thought. It seems they
are sitting on a lot of coal and coal-seam methane. Current projectson the table add up to $140billion. Miles, which now has 680houses, has just had an extra 800new housing blocks approved bythe Council. Thats a doubling of
the town by the stroke of a pen.What change may come for
Blackall and Tambo? Its hard tosay. Over in Egypt many peoplelive on $2 a day and a key reasonfor the forced change of governmentis that people want the freedomto earn more money. Who couldblame them? Whats that to dowith us? Well Egypt now buysa fair bit of lamb and beef fromAustralia. If their income goes up,
they may well want to buy more.Can the Blackall and Tamboregions produce more animals?
Some may say the R&D currentlydone isnt relevant for us. Well,the farmers in Birchip, a grainsregion in Western Victoria, thoughtmuch the same. So, they startedtheir own R&D group, the BirchipCropping Group, see www.bcg.org.au. This group now employs20 people doing local eld trials
etc. Could we start a BT GrazingGroup to do applied research onthe grazing issues in our region?The Council is looking at gettingsomeone out to talk about theidea. Interested? Contact theEDO John Hine on [email protected].

Deep landholder distrust of thestate governments motivationfor its proposed Wild Riversdeclaration of the Cooper Creekbasin was evident at a meeting inBlackall last Wednesday.
Thirty people packed the venueat the Blackall Club despite claimsof poor notice of the meeting.
The presentation by Cairns-based Wild Rivers coordinatorsRoss Brown and Don Wottonbrought an antagonisticresponse when graziers foundthemselves described as otherstakeholders.
The message from Ross Brownto embrace the process, be
constructive and proactivewas drowned in a chorus ofdiscontent.
A perceived sidelining of grazinginterests were expressed alongwith questions about the integrityof the governments scientic
data and mapping, based onpast experience with vegetationmanagement guidelines,scepticism that declarationswould prevent mining activities,and fear of ways legislation maybe changed in the future.
Even a simple question on wherea High Preservation Area (HPA),which will have management codesassociated with it, was measuredfrom, brought a conicting
response.While Mr Brown responded
that it was measured from theouter bank of the main channel,landholder advocate ChristineCampbell said she understood it
was measured from the bank ofthe outer channel, and thereforeHPAs could be kilometres wide.
Sonja Doyle expressed theviews of many when she askedhow Blackall region creekssuch as Ravensbourne andWooroolah could be identied
as major tributaries in the WildRivers nomination, when nomeasurements of the water ows
in either of these creeks wereavailable.
Mr Brown contested the
suggestion that there was noscientic data, but Ms Campbell
said it was all premised on a lackof real data and statistics.
Dont you see the frustration withthese motherhood statements,she said. People are asking, whydo secondary streams have a 300metre buffer, why does mininghave a 100 metre buffer?
A question was raised on thepossibility of putting in more
instream weirs for water supplies,using an example of increaseddependency on groundwaterif artesian supplies werecontaminated.
Mr Browns statement that theonly new instream weirs thatwould be possible would be fortown water supplies was greetedwith surprise by Blackall-Tambomayor Jan Ross, who said sheunderstood it was only existingweirs that could be extended.
And that will help a lot of cows,Robyn Adams added.
Meeting attendees said theyfound it hard to believe thatWild Rivers legislation would notbecome more restrictive in comingyears, citing changes to vegetationmanagement laws in other states.
When you look at it again in afew years, theres no guaranteethat you wont alter stocking ratesor make us fence our country off,
Bevan Hauff suggested.All I can say today is that there is
no intention to change anything,Mr Brown responded.
Ms Campbell added that therewas no provision in the proposedlegislation for the public to haveany input to future reviews, and
that any changes were at the
discretion of the minister.
Ms Adams asked if Wild Rivers
legislation was overrriden when
mining companies receive a rating
of state signicance from thegovernment.
It (proposed mining activity)
would denitely come to DERM
(Department of Environment
and Resource Management) for
advisory comment, Mr Brown
responded. We would note
that it would have Wild Rivers
signicance.
In the end, will it stop mining
occurring? I dont know. Miningcompanies have lots of money,
they go hammer and tongs.
Mr Brown urged people to
look up the Wild Rivers code of
development activities on the
DERM website and think about
how they would like to see them
applied in the Cooper basin.
We can help you formulate
your objection so that its relevant
to what you want to achieve, hesaid.
We are seeking your contribution
to make it work.
Ms Campbell said an AgForce
panel she was working with had
already managed to get some
changes, and she felt it was
denitely worthwhile putting in a
submission.
The closing date for submissions
is April 29.The department is planning for
another round of consultation
meetings in the region prior to the
closing date.

Wild Rivers coordinators in
western Queensland last weekfor the round of consultationmeetings say they are happy tomeet with groups of landownerson their properties.
Don Wotton said that while theremay be time constraints, they areprepared to consider requests.
One such visit was made toCoolatai station south of Blackallat the end of February.
Ravensbourne Creek, one of the
tributaries listed in the CooperCreek nomination made inDecember last year, runs throughthe property.
Alan MacDonald said themeeting had been offered to himwhen he was talking with a DERMofcer recently.
I thought it was a good chance
to actually have these people sit
on the bank of the creek underquestion, he said.
At that stage there was no noticeabout the meeting in Blackall.
Mr MacDonald said a fewmatters had been claried by
the gathering, which was alsoattended by people from ve other
properties nearby.On the whole, people went
away feeling a bit better, so it wasproductive that way, he said,
while still expressing scepticismabout the value of the legislation.
I heard the minister saying lastweek that Wild Rivers will stopmining in the Cooper basin.
Its going to do nothing of thesort, only in a High PreservationArea.
If a mine is located 501 metres
off a creek, Wild Rivers wont stop
anything as far as I can see.
He was also unconvinced by
Sustainability Minister Kate
Jones comment that no onerous
rules would be imposed on
landholders through Wild Rivers
legislation without going through
parliament.
Given the lopsided nature of
the Queensland parliament, it
would be no trouble to push any
changes through.

Fuel theft inTambo district a reminder about security
Wet weekendacross the district
It was a wet weekend for the Blackall Tambo district,
with 37mm of rain in Blackall over the weekend
forcing the cancellation of the Blackall races.
Tambo received the brunt of the rainfall with 153mm
falling in town, with rainfall varying on surrounding
properties.
Marilyn Clift from Isoroy said they received 154mm
with rain continuing steadily over the weekend with
several heavy falls.
Like many people, wed just done some grading for
rebreaks and the rain caused a bit of havoc, washing
them away, Marilyn said.
We cant even get out at the moment.
Neighbouring property Uanda received a much lower
rainfall with 90mm, but owner Jack Russell said he
was happy with that amount.
That was an ideal amount- it didnt cause any
damage. Jack said.
At Jynoomah, Peter Nevell said they received 117mm
with rain continuing throughout the weekend.
It was pretty steady apart from the rst two inches,which fell on Friday morning, Peter said.
Manning was by far the wettest property in the
district with a fall of 250mm.
