Visitors to the Sherwood Arboretum could soon have an easy answer to that most obvious of questions: What tree is that?
A smart phone application, developed for National Trusts of Australia, will give visitors the location, image and information about some of the key trees in the heritage-listed Arboretum.
The National Trust of Queensland (NTQ) and the Friends of Sherwood Arboretum Association (FOSA) are partners in a project to place key specimen trees from the Sherwood Arboretum on the National Trusts of Australia Significant Trees Register, currently being developed.
FOSA President Peter Hayes said the Arboretum had relied for more than 88 years on simple name tags to identify individual trees in the collection of more than 1000 specimen trees.
“Clearly, this approach has major limitations, particularly when visitors have a thirst for knowledge but often only a short time to enjoy this unique showcase of Australian native trees,” he said.
“This project is the first step in using digital technology to allow many more visitors to have fast and easy access to reliable information about this wonderful collection.”
Peter said FOSA greatly appreciated the help of Margaret Munro, an NTQ volunteer, in developing this project, which will take several weeks to complete.
“Margaret will be working closely with FOSA to ensure that each tree selected meets the nationally agreed set of assessment criteria for trees, covering scientific, social, historic or aesthetic significance, before listing on the National Register,” he said.
FOSA and NTQ may extend the project later to include the Arboretum’s iconic avenue of Kauri trees, which provides a unique snapshot of Brisbane society in the 1920’s.

Hello, my name is Thea Soons. If you are familiar with, or thinking about, cosmetic injectables then I encourage you to read on.
As we know, nothing remains the same forever. A more accurate phase could not be applied to the beauty/cosmetic industry. In the last 18 years, I and the rest of Australia have seen some dramatic changes, and there are more to come!
I am the owner and operator of Advanced Skin Care Clinic, in Jindalee, a n d h a v e k n o w n D r. Andrew Molloy, a well-known cosmetic dentist from Kenmore, for 16 years. Our discussions over coffee one day resulted in us realising that, not only did our services compliment each other, but that we could offer a brand new approach to cosmetic enhancement.
I have been a specialist in face and skin care for over 40 years, and Andrew has been a cosmetic dentist for 30 years. Andrew is a rare breed of dentist. Having undertaken training in the UK and with the Australian Academy of DentoFacial Aesthetics, he has the intricate knowledge and experience to know that “complete facial aesthetics” is more than just a wrinkle free face, or a great smile, or beautiful teeth. It’s about balance. We all know that ‘relaxants’ and ‘fillers’ are not new to the industry, however, the techniques and protocols now employed to maximise results and longevity are.
By working together, we are able to offer people the opportunity to talk to a dentist in a totally different environment, in the peaceful surroundings of a skin clinic, which could completely eliminate dental phobia.
Andrew and I are well aware that todays’ clients are well researched, well-read and savvy. And that they seek out professional high quality services from well-known professionals. They demand the best with long lasting results and this is what we specialise in.
In all my 40 years as a skin specialist, I have never come across two skins that are exactly the same therefore they shouldn’t be treated as such, hence the introduction of our Prescriptive Speciality Treatment service, which addresses client’s problems and concerns on an individual basis.
In the one treatment we now integrate a combination of therapies to ensure that at each stage, every client achieves their optimum result with maximum longevity.
If, at the post-treatment consultation stage, it’s considered the ‘balance’ needs tweaking, then the tweaking is on us – such is our commitment to customer satisfaction.
As for the results - if our clients are ecstatic, then we’re happy too.

I think you would all agree we have been enjoying exceptionally balmy weather of late and now that September is here, and the arrival of Spring is upon us, there is the change in the air, and not just because of the upcoming election!
Traditionally, we look to the start of a new year for new beginnings and implementing changes in our lives, yet the start of a new season, particularly Spring when renewal and new life is so evident, is also a perfect time to see if modifications need to be made.
Change is something that we often fight against. Even if we aren’t happy with the way things are, we are wary of things being different. We are more comfortable with the status quo because it’s familiar to us; it’s what we know.
Setting about making changes involves a risk - it may not go as we thought it would, people may not do or say what we thought they would. The thing is, people and circumstances are beyond our control, and that is what makes us really baulk at big changes in our lives.
The adage that ‘the only certain thing is that things will change’ couldn’t be truer, however much we dislike the notion. Even when we think we are standing still, resisting change, we are really fooling ourselves.
The whole of life must change, renew and regenerate, otherwise, it ceases to be life. Without change, things die.
And that’s true for us too. Our relationships, our careers, our personalities must all undergo change in order to survive. And we must learn to adapt and go with the flow too. We are constantly telling our youngest daughter that ‘Flo’ is spending the day with us when she wants to know every single detail of every single days events. “Just go with Flo!” we cry. “I hate Flo!” she cries in reply.
Learning to go with the flow is an important part of successful living. Imagine if the plants and animals around us refused to submit to the changes of the seasons? If the blossoms refused to bloom simply because they didn’t want it to be Spring yet?
Likewise, we need to submit ourselves to the ebb and flow of life. And Spring is the ideal time to throw off the shackles of this particularly wet winter and breath in the new life that’s on the winds of Spring.
Won’t you join me in embracing all the joy and freshness of a new season by dusting off our routines and ruts and turning toward new things?
What could you do that you’ve always wanted to do? What opportunities are awaiting you if you step outside your door and explore the new buds all around you?
Isn’t it time to change? To renew and rejuvenate ourselves? Doesn’t it put a Spring (pun intended!) in your step to think of all the new and glorious possiblities ahead? It does for me!

The Performing Arts Centre of Excellence offers the students the opportunity to practice and perform in bands, choirs, ensembles, dance and drama excellence troupes and musical stage productions leading to performances at local, state and national events.
As part of the PACE program students experience firsthand the life and work of practising and performing artists through links with arts industry professionals and intensive workshops with commercial theatre groups, dance companies and state and national orchestras.
Kind regardsSuzanne BainHead, St John’s Anglican College
Hello ReadersAs our world experiences unprecedented change stimulated by advances in technology, young people must be provided with the opportunity to develop the skills and disciplines they will need in the “creative economy” of the future. So far as we know at this point in time, these vital skills will involve a strong grounding in creative and critical thinking, perseverance, adaptability and the ability to collaborate and be part of successful teams.
Developing a child’s potential to be successful in this new environment starts with their involvement in the Performing Arts where the ability to perform confidently is nurtured. The experience of learning in a collaborative environment through Music, Drama and Dance at both primary and secondary level, gives young people the opportunity to develop these skills through their engagement in a variety of performance groups and activities.
Universities are now expanding opportunities for learning within courses in the creative industries by combining the performance disciplines with media, communication and business. At St John’s following this study and career pathway is a real and exciting possibility which includes the strong partnerships we have within the Queensland Arts industry.
As a culmination of their work in 2013, excellent performances by our leading Music ensembles, and Drama and Dance Troupes delighted the audience at our recent Showcase Concert, the first in our new College Auditorium. Many of these fine young performers will go on to the State Honours Ensemble Program in full, and to real theatre opportunities provided by the Harvest Rain Theatre Company and La Boîte.
Whether our students choose a career in the Arts industry or use the their skills and disciplines to build a career in the new creative industries, they will be well served by the foundation they received in the St John’s Performing Arts Centre of Excellence.
If you would like to see how your child’s education can be taken to the next level call 3372 0113 for your personalised tour of our primary and secondary schools and see our Arts students at work.

Get Going and Get Playing applications now openSport and recreation clubs throughout Queensland are being encouraged to apply for funding
to improve their services and facilities, with the launch of round two of the Get Going and Get Playing programs from the Get in the Game initiative.
The initial response was so overwhelming that Get in the Game funding has been increased from $16 million over three years to almost $48 million. Get Going provides grants up to $10,000 for items and activities to assist clubs in attracting and retaining members and Get Playing provides grants up to $100,000 to sport and recreation organisations for facility development.
I encourage all sport and recreation clubs to seek support for their planned activities and facilities. For more information on Get in the Game, visit www.nprsr.qld.gov.au.
Premier’s 2014 ANZAC Prize for StudentsThe 2014 Premier’s ANZAC Prize offers students the chance to travel to Turkey to see the
origins of the ANZACs firsthand as part of a study tour. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for students in Years 8 to 11 to travel to Gallipoli and the Western Front to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC’s.
For a chance at this amazing trip, students need to create a two to five minute multimedia presentation discussing how the ANZAC tradition has shaped our nation, why it’s still important, and how future generations can keep the tradition alive. Any teachers with an interest in history and the ANZAC’s tradition can also apply to go as chaperones for the students.
Entries close on Friday 20 September. For more information, or to download application forms or access the student resources, please visit www.education.qld.gov.au/anzac-prize
Our Kokoda Day Commemoration held at the sub-branch proved to be a great success. Whilst I did not get an accurate count on the attendance, I would have estimated it at being around 150 or a bit more.
We were fortunate to have our National President, Rear Admiral (Rtd) Ken Doolan AO, the State President, Mr Terry Meehan, and District President Mr Vic Reading also attend.
The original Kokoda Veterans were also joined on the day by a contingent of contemporary veterans from Afghanistan, who had just completed walking the track as part of their rehabilitation through the Mates4Mates program.
Well known poet, Mr Rupert McCall was also present on the day and gave us a recitation of the poem that he recited at a service at Isurava in July when he was walking the track with the Afghanistan veterans.
The National President addressed us after the service, bringing us up to date with the efforts the national body was making on behalf of the RSL and the wider defence community.
It was good to interact with the contemporary veterans as well as the originals and I am sure the reputation of our sub-branch hospitality was well enhanced by the day. My special thanks to all of our members and volunteers, as well as the Ladies Auxiliary who helped make this day a special one.
On Saturday 14 September we will be hosting a group of contemporary veterans for a BBQ lunch which will be followed by a question and answer forum to determine their thoughts and feelings towards the RSL and what we can be doing to better accommodate the latest veterans and the best ways of communicating with them.
They are the future of our organisation and whilst we realise that young service people are too busy re-establishing their careers post discharge, as well as raising young families, to be actively engaged in volunteer work, it is important that they see the League in a positive light, so that when they are in a position to do so, they will fill our thinning gaps in the future, and continuing the League’s work in assisting the veterans of the future.

At this time of year when the temperature is warming up and spring is here we all need to think about the dangers that ticks present to our pets.
The paralysis tick is found along the eastern seaboard from north Queensland down through NSW and into northern Victoria. They are not always restricted to the coastline but in the right conditions and with the right habitat, they can be found more inland.
You would have heard me talk about the bandicoot as the natural host of the paralysis tick but they can also be found on animals that live in or near scrub. That includes some marsupials, birds and reptiles.
The problem for pet owners is when the ticks attach to your pets. What happens then is that the tick sucks the blood from the animal and at the same time secretes its saliva that contains toxins which are absorbed into your pets system and causes signs of tick paralysis.
Our leafy suburbs mean that this area is a high risk area for the paralysis tick and the symptoms to watch out for include:• loss of co-ordination or wobbly hind legs that progresses
to front limbs and your pet can have difficulty standing or walking
• change in bark• coughing or dry retching• loss of appetite
Remember, it is really important to go over your pet every day searching for ticks.
If your pet shows symptoms of tick paralysis or you find a tick, keep your pet calm and comfortable. Do not give them food or water and talk to your vet. Your vet may give your pet a tick anti-toxin and supportive treatment for cardiac and respiratory complications and your pet may need hospitalisation until recovered fully.
Prevention really is better than cure and to protect your pet, talk to your vet about the best preventative product for your pet’s circumstances. The options include a tick rinse, topical liquid on the back of the neck every two weeks, tick collars and tick sprays. Those of you who have animals with long hair should consider having them shaved.
This month is a good chance to also focus on your pet’s flea program. The latest up to datxe information shows that the number of fleas coming on to your cat or dog can be reduced when you use flea prevention all year round. Treating all the pets in your household helps prevent flea infections. Check your environment as fleas in Queensland breed in sand, dirt, carpet, bedding, bark chips and mulch.
Don’t forget to make sure you ask your vet about the best flea and tick prevention for your pet.
Tick season starts in spring

The St John’s Oxley Community Men’s Shed has certainly been alive and humming over the last month.
The shed has finally been completed and painted by a great band of willing workers under the supervision of Shed Manager Ken Manton. Ken said that it was very pleasing to see the members roll up to our Monday building days where it was “all hands to the pumps” in order to have the shed completed in time for the official opening which coincided with the St John’s Anglican Church fete and then see them back next day for our usual Tuesday meetings.
The Shed was officially opened and blessed by the Anglican Primate of Brisbane Dr Phillip Aspinall in July, who is also a very enthusiastic supporter of the Men’s Shed Movement.
In June, the Shed was presented with two canvases from the Sherwood Community Kindergarten in appreciation of them restoring some garden ornaments. Both of these are now proudly displayed on the shed wall.
At a function held at the Brisbane City Hall also held in June, Shed President John Brown received, on behalf of the Men’s Shed, a 2011 Brisbane City Council Flood Recovery Award.
The Shed has just held its second AGM where John Brown tabled his Annual Report on a very successful and fulfilling year and he was also delighted to see that all Executive and Management positions were filled. The AGM was followed by a barbecue lunch organised by David Schonfish, our providore extrordinaire.
Members are now sporting their new Men’s Shed polo shirts the purchase of which was organised by Michael Reynolds.
The shed was fortunate enough to obtain an amount of building material and cupboards from the old Houghton’s Oxley Pharmacy which recently relocated to The Station in Oxley. The Shed would like thank Jenny Bowden and Judy Baguley for allowing us to obtain this material, a lot of which has already been put to good use.
We were recently asked by a lady if we could do some repair work to her piano stool. Unfortunately her contact details have been misplaced. If she can contact John Brown on 3379 6096, it would be greatly appreciated.
Our membership now stands at about forty of whom approximately twenty five attend our meetings which are held at the shed which is located at St John’s Anglican Church in California Rd, Oxley every Tuesday beginning at 9.00am. The shed caters for men who are all welcome to come along for a yarn and a cuppa and see what is being done there.
For further information on the St John’s Oxley Community Men’s Shed, please contact the President, John Brown on 3379 6096.

A self-confessed gardening tragic, newly transplanted to apartment living in the city, I was feeling hugely bereft without my large yard, worms, compost bin and assorted gardening paraphernalia that only another kindred spirit would understand.
But last weekend, I was lucky enough to meet up with the Graceville Community gardeners. I felt like I had come home. On turning up unannounced, I was greeted with a huge smile, a tour and taste of the gardens and cuppa, along with introductions to all in attendance.
The garden is a thriving hive of activity, where everyone is welcome and everyone contributes wherever they can.
The gardeners come from a diverse background, old, young, retirees, even a newly arrived refugee from Iran - this truly is a ‘community’ garden in every sense of the word, and the group understand well the idea that gardening transcends all barriers.
Chatting with the other gardeners, I learned that the gardens had been built from scratch using a ‘no dig’ method to build up the garden beds and improve soil quality and is totally organic. Unfortunately the garden received a huge set back in the 2011 floods but, undeterred, the group has rebuilt and replanted.
I was delighted to find compost bins at all stages of decomposition, a huge tub of very active worms and rain harvesting in operation. It brought such a smile to my face.
The garden has crops in various stages of growth and many had been allowed to seed and flower to encourage the bees, which also form another important link in the lifecycle of the garden.
When I left my previous home, I brought with me a rhubarb crown from my garden. I had planted it into a pot and it has been sitting forlornly on my balcony – miserable and refusing to shoot or display any sign of life. Next weekend the rhubarb is making a trip to the community garden, where I know, without doubt, it will put down roots and thrive.
I can hardly wait - it isn’t just the rhubarb that will thrive in this wonderful garden.
A warm welcome from Graceville Community garden

Friends of Sherwood arboretum- Brisbane’s living treasure -
Sherwood Probus Club Update by Pam DaleRetirement – everybody’s doing it – but Probus does it better.
By anyone’s definition, it could be called a very long time between hellos.
However, according to sisters, Betty Rowles and Margaret Hughes (from left), it’s been well worth the wait of more than 80 years to meet and swap yarns with Mr Ross McKinnon, Curator of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, at the Sherwood Arboretum.
In the 1920’s and 1930’s, Betty and Margaret watched their mum, Olive, serve afternoon tea to another Botanic Gardens Curator, Mr Ernest Bick, during his regular trips by steam train from the city to Sherwood to plant new specimen trees in the Sherwood Arboretum.
Last month, the two sisters were up early to meet the curator, Mr McKinnon, during breakfast celebrations to mark the 88th year of our unique heritage-listed parkland.
Today, the Arboretum has well over 1000 specimen trees, thanks in part to the vision of Mr Bick and the work of Betty and Margaret’s Dad, Mr William (Bill) Hodgson, the first Council caretaker of the Sherwood Arboretum in 1926.
Both sisters are long-term supporters of the Friends of Sherwood Arboretum Association (FOSA), which marked the 88th year with a bird walk, riverside breakfast for some 140 guests and a community “planting bee”, supported by Council’s Habitat Brisbane program.
Cr Nicole Johnston, Councillor for Tennyson Ward, chaired FOSA’s annual meeting with great success.
With the 90th birthday of the Sherwood Arboretum approaching in 2015, FOSA welcomed eight new members to its Executive and noted Australian ecologist, Professor Hugh Possingham, as its first Patron.
Mr McKinnon told guests that Botanic Gardens had significantly widened their role today from institutions of science and research to important centres for education about conservation and the natural environment.
The Curator spoke about the “tremendous synergy” between the Brisbane Botanic Gardens and the Sherwood Arboretum, which he said both relied heavily on their dedicated volunteers.
In late July, six intrepid travellers boarded the Rockhampton Tilt Train at Roma St Station for a five night package at Bayview Tower on the beachfront at Yeppoon. We were met at Rockhampton by our coach driver/tour guide Rick who transferred us to Yeppoon where a late dinner awaited us in our rooms.
Early the next morning, after a hearty breakfast we boarded the coach for Byfield National Park where we were given a tour of the tea tree plantation and distillery with an explanation of the original owner’s history.
We enjoyed a short relaxing ride in an electric punt along Waterpark Creek part of the last truly untouched wilderness areas of Central Queensland. Many wildlife species and birds were seen.
A catamaran trip to Great Keppel Island and viewing coral from a glass bottomed boat was most enjoyable despite the overcast weather.
Another day was spent exploring Rockhampton and the heritage buildings. A highlight was visiting Dreamtime Cultural Centre where we were taught to throw a boomerang and play the didgeridoo.
Rockhampton Botanic Gardens with their interesting zoo was also enjoyed. Another day was spent visiting Henderson Park, a working cattle property north of Rockhampton. We drove through the Hedlow wetlands to Lake Mary where a large flock of magpie geese and many other migratory birds were seen. Entertainment included a bush poet, country western singer and Footlights Theatre Restaurant with a delicious Devonshire tea. In all a most relaxing and refreshing holiday.
Our speaker for October is Don Pinel, engineer for the NBN rollout. November’s speaker is Ian Hart of Prescare about the new buildings at Kingsford Terrace Retirement Village, formerly Hopetoun at Corinda.
Caleb’s Crossing by Geraldine Brooks is the book group’s selection for September.Sherwood Probus meets on the 3rd Friday of the month (except December) at 10am at Sherwood AFL Club

Snippets from our gardens
New gardeners are always welcome at the Oxley Garden Club. Meetings are held at 9.30am on the 3rd Tuesday
of each month in a members garden. Contact the president Meg Gagen on 3379 2015.
As mentioned in a previous edition, here are a few more candidates for a garden like Grandma’s.
Reminiscent of daisies, Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) is a traditional medicinal herb which is often found in old gardens but can be grown merely as an ornament.
The word “feverfew” is derived from the Latin febrifugia meaning “flu reducer”. Its medicinal properties are not supported by scientific evidence but it is a worthy addition to any cottage garden.
Feverfew is native to the Balkan Peninsula, Anatolia and the Caucasus however it can now be found in many areas around the world.
This perennial shrub has attractive lacy leaves, a daisy-like flower (small and white with a yellow centre) and grows to 38-46 cm. It spreads rapidly and re-seeds readily.
Another oldie but a goody for the home garden is the Red Hot Poker (Kniphofia) – pictured. There are 68 species of this stately perennial which are members of the lily family, Liliaceae and native to southern and eastern Africa.
They vary in height from 1m to 1.5m when, in summer or autumn (depending on the variety), long spikes appear which bear orangy-red flowers, fading to yellow. To flower well they need a well-drained position where they get full sun and plenty of water in the hot weather.
Birds love them for their nectar so it is wise to stake the long spikes before the birds get to them and weigh them down. They become large clumps if allowed to grow undisturbed and propagation is achieved through dividing these clumps, or from the seeds.
Arum lilies (Zantedeschia) used to be in everyone’s gardens. Generally, the variety Z. aethiopica was grown, usually somewhere near the garden tap as they can tolerate wet, boggy areas.
Named as a tribute to Italian botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi and native of South Africa north to Malawi, they are not really a lily at all but part of the Araceae family.
These rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plants grow to 2.5m tall and their stunning white, yellow or pink funnel-shaped flowers have a showy yellow, finger-like spadix – characteristics attractive in a garden and prized by florists for arrangements. Grow in a sunny or part-shade area and propagate from offsets in winter.
