During this month the weather conditions can have a bearing on pests and diseases.
If hot and dry roses and gladioli can be attached by thrip, it sucks the sap from the petals and flowers appear to be distorted and burnt. Spray with Lebaycide or Rose spray. Watch roses if the weather is hot and humid, they can get fungus disease such as black spot or mildew, also spray with Rose spray.
Watch for fruit fly this month, you can put fruit fly traps up which will lure and kill the fruit fly.
If you spray your trees with Rogor or Lebaycide it is recommended to spray apples, pears, peaches, nectarine and quinces every two weeks before ripening.
Give Dahlias a side dressing of complete fertilizer and tie to stakes.
Windellama SES First Aid & CFR
The warm weather is now upon us, so it would seem, this brings storms as the one which struck last Monday night, the 14th. Some people really had a hammering from same. This brings a favourite topic of mine to the fore, that is to make sure that your gutters and down pipes have been cleaned out. The RFS and SES have this message to be brought to your attention. The reason for this is that water will enter your house through the eaves if the gutter is filled with rubbish. Those of you who were observant enough to see a gutter on fire in one of the news grabs, during the recent fires out at Llandilo will see what I am trying to impress upon you. It is your property, so do what you can to save it. We are still trying to get a few more members for our very small band of dedicated people. There were only a small number of calls on the CFR side of things, thank goodness. I would like to, on behalf of our SES/CFR Unit wish our Fire Captain, Rex Hockey, a speedy recovery from his illness. This being our last edition for the year of 2016, Seasons Greetings to you all, followed by a Happy and Healthy New Year from your SES / CFR members. Kevin Muffet Deputy Unit Controller Windellama SES/CFR.

Windellama Garden Club Incorporated News
WINDELLAMA GARDEN CLUB INC NOVEMBER NEWS
After our Garden Club meeting on Tuesday November 1 we held our Melbourne cup lunch at Sandy and Johnno’s place.
Sandy’s garden is looking great after all the weeding she has done. The rain has been great but the down side when gardening is that as fast as you remove the weeds the faster the next crop grows. Sandy reckons she has more aches and pains than ever - from trying to remove the weeds but as I said earlier her gardens are looking good.
At this meeting we discussed our next trip to the Japanese Garden at Cowra on Thursday 17th November 2016. We also confirmed that the 2017 Country Fair will be on February 11.
The ladies and Keith out did themselves with all different dishes of food supplied for our Melbourne cup luncheon. Keith up to the luncheon was our club’s tinnie one but he has now lost this mantle to me – so he reckons.
Talking about Keith, he is now known as Poppy Keith the great due to the birth of his great granddaughter Nena Michele – Congratulations Keith for the new title and birth of your granddaughter.
On Saturday 5th November at the Windellama Field Day our Club members displayed examples of flowers that can be grown in the locality from their gardens. All the flowers displayed were named and surprisingly there were quite a few different varieties. The Club Ladies Di, Sharon, Dinah and Tanya that were on site did a great job.
Although the day was windy which was nothing unusual for this year at Windellama and surrounds, the wind didn’t deter the patronage which was great to see. Over all, the Windellama Progress Association should be proud of their members for presenting a great field day – well done.
At our last Garden Club Meeting members voted unanimously to celebrate Christmas at the Paragon Café on the 9th December 2016. Propose to meet there at 11.30am. RSVP to me on 48447061 or Keith on 48445971 required one week before the 9th. Members and garden Club friends most welcome.

BUSH FIRE DANGER PERIOD COMMENCES ON 1ST NOVEMBER 2016
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 NOVEMBER 2016.
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 November 1
Fines can apply if regulations are not carried out
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.
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.
The Brigade is often asked… Lighting a fire – Quick Facts
A quick guide to your responsibilities when lighting a fire or undertaking activities that may result in a fire.
There are significant penalties if you light an illegal fire, or if your fire escapes and causes damage to property or the environment.
It is therefore essential that you are aware of the legal and safety requirements before you conduct a burn or use equipment that is likely to ignite a fire.
When lighting any fire you should ensure that you are wearing appropriate clothing, have a water supply available on site and that you have a cleared area around the perimeter of the fire. You must also use all practical means to prevent or minimise air pollution.
The following guide to what you need to consider before lighting a fire.

On the first of November the Willow Glen Garden Clubbers gathered at Warren and Judy’s place for an afternoon of good food, good conversation and of course gambling!
With The Melbourne cup upon us once more our honorary bookie (aka Judy) set about taking bets and organising prize money while the rest of us chatted while indulging in sparkling wine, a delicious barbeque lunch and an array of deliciously sinful desserts.
Joy took out the annual hat competition for the girls this year with her colourful winning creation of assorted iris’s and hellebores adorned over a
wire flower basket and attached under her chin with a big bow. Doug was the winner for the men with his little umbrella behind the ear even though it was conveniently borrowed from Judy’s garden just in the nick of time! – We expect to see more forward planning from the boys next year!
We did also find time to discuss our gardens, however briefly, and found that while
unfortunately the rain over winter has provided our ever persistent weeds with even more fuel, our gardens are quite lush and generally flourishing.
Warren and Judy’s garden is in full flower at the moment and as we wandered around the grounds chaperoned by “Ozi” the border collie we were treated to a stunning variety of iris’s, poppies, roses and aquilegias. We visited the goats, sheep and alpacas and shared silver beet plants and poppy seeds.
Our Christmas themed December meeting will be held on Tuesday December 6th at David & Pauline’s place on Mt Fairy Rd starting at 3pm this time to take advantage of the cooler evenings. Bring a potted plant/ cutting for our Christmas swap, BYO BBQ meats and a salad & dessert to share.

Nerriga Gardeners
On Thursday 17th Nov we met at Tracey and Todd's Corang River B&B for a look at their garden and a general sticky beak. It was a perfect day and the roses were wonderful. The house sits on the top of a rise and the garden falls away to the front so rendering it friendlier as regards frost but also keeping it fairly dry. Tracey and Todd have cleaned
up to start with a fairly blank canvas and were listening to any of the ideas thrown up by us. Everyone had a different idea of what to do as gardening is such an individual thing but also we were able to say what survives in the local area and what not to bother with. The front or back of the house has stunning views to the Budawang range and we spent some time working out what was what and whose properties we could identify. They have had the run around from Telstra re internet access and have like many of us given up and gone with the Satellite NBN which is making it a bit easier to run a business do schoolwork etc. We really have become quite reliant on the easy communication the internet affords us and it causes a meltdown when it doesn't work.
Our next meeting will be an outing to the Araluen Valley to get peaches on Thursday 8th Dec. This has been brought forward due to the proximity of Christmas. All are welcome and we will meet at 7184, Nerriga Road ( Corang Cottage ) and proceed to Mongarlowe where Sandra has suggested we have morning tea before setting off for the valley. Carpooling to be done at either or both locations. It is suggested we pack ourselves a picnic lunch so we can have it anywhere we
fancy. The Pub in Araluen would also be open for drinks etc. Contact Kay Hamer on [email protected] for any further info or to cement arrangements. Phone 48459021 and leave message
Voices in the Forest
Well not so as they moved it to the Llewellyn Hall due to an inclement forecast. This was a superb popular concert with music from opera through to musicals and the artists were outgoing and hammed it up a bit with the orchestra and presenter/mc. Sumi-Jo has an amazing voice and it comes in such a petite package and she is not at all the Diva. Sally Anne Russell and Richard Troxell played to the gallery and delighted everyone. This is the second time I have been to a performance featuring Sumi-Jo and I recommend making an effort to go and listen to her as she is a delight. In previous years the concert has been held at the National Arboretum and the setting would have been lovely and as it turned out it would have been fine with no thunderstorms. We are quite lucky to have several venues in the local area that strive to give us a range of musical experiences and the only down side is the drive home afterwards but even this can be avoided if need be.

The importance of the ‘NOT SO CUTE & CUDDLY’
By Kay Muddiman – Media Officer
All our native animals have their individual part to play in the scheme of things, and all are important. However, because of the appeal of the more well known ‘furred, cute & cuddlies’, it is easy for other creatures such as bats and reptiles to be overlooked, indeed almost forgotten. We should all be aware of the contribution these ‘not so appealing’ creatures make towards keeping our environment balanced and healthy, and give them equal consideration. Some facts you may find interesting: All bats in Australia are native species – none of them are introduced.
There are two kinds of bats: large flying-foxes or fruit-eating bats (often called megabats), and the small insect-eating bats (often called microbats). Microbats eat a lot – up to three-quarters of their own body weight in insects in a night. Bats are natural aerial acrobats! While most bats catch insects in their mouths, they can also catch insects in their wing membrane, flick them into the tail membrane, and then grab them with their mouth, all while in flight. Blue-tongued lizard - the legs are small and can be overlooked, meaning the harmless bluetongue, with its large triangular head, is sometimes mistaken for a dangerous snake and inadvertently
killed. As well as eating vegetation the Blue-tongue eats insects, slugs and snails – making it a valuable addition to a garden! Shingleback lizard - eats mostly vegetable matter, together with some insects, spiders or scorpions. They have a particular liking for flowers and will seasonally gorge themselves on blossoms, particularly yellow ones if given the opportunity. Almost unique in the lizard world, shinglebacks find a compatible mate and then continue to pair up with the same partner every spring for 20 or more years. As Christmas approaches we would like to remind everyone that it can be a downside for our native animals through increased traffic over the festive season, which sadly means increased collisions with our wildlife. If you are travelling during the holidays please watch out for our native creatures, especially around daybreak and dusk, so that both you and the animals stay safe. Should you have the misfortune to collide with an animal, or come across one that is injured or in distress (in the area covered by our branch), please call our rescue number – 4822 3888, our volunteers will be manning the phone (24 hours a day, 7 days a week as they normally do, right across the holiday period) and will be only too happy to assist. If you need help outside our branch area please ring the WIRES main rescue number 1300 094 737. Our Christmas wish is for everyone to have a wonderful Christmas and that we all, humans and animals alike, stay safe to enjoy the coming New Year. Until next time – take care all. Kay
This shingleback definitely liked yellow flowers – he/she was happily chomping on our yellow gazanias!

LYLE GOODCHILD, WINDELLAMA MAILMAN
Mailman Honoured
A happy social gathering was held in the Windellama Hall by the residents on the Goulburn-Glenoval-Windellama-Oallen mail route to do honour to the mailman, Mr Goodchild, on the completion of his further term of five years as mailman of the district. In making the presentation of a purse of notes, Mr Saunders eulogised Mr Goodchild's endeavours r to please everyone. He further remarked that the large gathering spoke volumes for the esteem in which Mr Goodchild was held by the district. In concluding the remarks of Mr Saunders, Mr Roberts also dealt with other phases of Mr Goodchild's popularity. In accepting the gift Mr Goodchild responded, feelingly thanking all for their generous gift.
(Goulburn Evening Penny Post 23 December 1929, page 2)
SERVICES RECOGNISED High appreciation of
their services to the district was voiced at a. large gathering which assembled to do honour to Mr and Mrs L Goodchild. Mr Goodchild until recently had charge of the Windellama-Oallen Ford mail contract for: about 15 years. Mr and Mrs Goodchild were presented respectively with a tortoise shell shaving outfit and canteen of cutlery, the result of the: collective effort of friends residing along the Goulburn-Oallen mail route. In handing the gifts to Mr and Mrs Goodchild, Mr Saundlers said that the large
gathering spoke for their popularity and showed how appreciative were the residents along the Goulburn-Oallen mail route of Mr Goodthild's sterling service. The speaker declared that this service could not have been 'so efficient had not Mr Goodchild been ably supported by his capable wife. At the conclusion of the presentation the gathering joined in singing “For They are Jolly Good Fellows”. Mr Alchin suitably responded on behalf of Mr Goodchild and thanked the company for the gifts
