Around ten Paluma residents showed up last Saturday armed with shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows and enthusiasm to shift the large pile of mulch provdied by the Townsville City Council (facilitated by our local Councilor Margie Ryder). Despite the daunting size of the mulch pile it was all shifted onto the garden beds around the Community Hall, and under the “Trees in Memory” grove in just over an hour. Unfortunately we were all to focussed on our work to take any picures.
It is amazing how much work has been accomplished this year during our working bees and how positive the response for volunteers has been. This initiative, and its results are something we should all be proud of. Many thanks to Wilfred, who has been the driving force behind the working bees.
With no other activities planned, we convened on the village green with beers in hand and discussed an idea establish and disc golf. Ian and Julia Anderson brought out some discs and a possible short course was sketched out that they hope to take to Council in the near future.
