HAPPY HORSES’ BIRTHDAY

August first is recognised as the horse’s birthday in the southern hemisphere. So just how did this miraculous event come about that every horse in Australia has the same birthday; we all know they weren’t actually all born on the same day. And why the first of August in particular? Well, originally it only applied to race horses. The reason for having an official birth date for thoroughbreds like Phar Lap and trotters like Hondo Grattan is because horses are raced according to age and in order to alleviate confusion when entering horses in races, their date of birth is deemed to be on August 1st of the year in which they were born. But why August 1st? The choice of date has to do with the breeding season. Breeders generally try and breed in September or October so that the horse will be born as soon after August 1st as possible (the gestation period for horses being 11 months). This way the horse will be as mature as possible when it begins racing. Just think, if you were born on the 25th of July you’d only be physically a week old when you officially turned one year old. Imagine then 3 years later, you’re really only 2 but you’re racing against some other bloke born on August 7 who really is pretty much 3.

So why all horses then? In many cases there may be age classes in showing (such as the Sydney Royal) where the horse’s age is required to enter, so August 1st is used. The same is true for young horse classes in dressage. In essence it’s all about fairness in competition.

For those that don’t know their horse’s actual date of birth, August 1st is the day to acknowledge their turning a year older and thank them for everything they give to you whether they do some sort of performance like racing or showing or if they’re just your best friend.

Willowglen Gardeners Meeting July 2013

On a foggy and cool morning a group of workers from Windellama Garden Club and Willow Glen Garden Club joined forces for a cleanup of the gardens at St Bartholomew’s Church, Windellama.

We had a good turn up of members and set up the urn and goodies for morningtea, then set to work. Pam Williams had her trusty whipper snipper and Lloyd had his extendable little chain saw to lop off the dead branches of trees. Everyone was busy cleaning out the weeds and dead shrubs.

Warren led a meeting at morning tea and members were reminded of the Windellama Garden Club cake auction on 3rd August at Windellama Hall. Proceeds to Can Assist, Goulburn. We then got back to work and set up a fire to burn the dead wood and blackberry bushes etc. Kevin Moffet stayed to ensure all the rubbish was burnt and left in a safe state.

We all had a good time working together and decided to make it an annualevent. Both garden clubs to meet in July at the Church yards to ensure all is kept in order.

Councilor Denzil Sturgiss ReportsHello GMC residents and ratepayers.

Multi-Purpose Centre Tender ProcessProbably the “story of the month” about Council matters has been the (Goulburn Recreation Area) Multi Purpose Centre tendering process that has been reviewed by the Division of Local Government. If you are interested, you can access the July 16 Council Minutes via www.goulburn.nsw.gov.au and proceed to read from page 55 onwards.

Regional Development Australia Grants On July 22, GMC applied to the Federal Government for its allocated $318,000 as part of the final funding round. Following briefing sessions on this matter, Councilors resolved at the July 16 meeting to apply for $203,000 to assist with the completion of Rocky Hill improvement

works and the balance of $115,000 to be used for projects identified in the 2009/10 Village Strategic Plans. If you wish to know more, you should talk to your local Progress Association.

Building Community Partnerships Under this funding provided by the NSW state Government, the 2013 funding amount for Goulburn and district is $200,000. Included in the number of projects that may be eligible is the Tarago Park playground shade sail ($10,000). Councilors resolved that the Council Grants Officers be available to assist user groups with their funding applications, again, in Tarago’s case, this would be undertaken by the Progress Association.

The Steinway Grand PianoThere may be some of us left who remember that this piano used to be housed in the Lilac Time Hall and has always been considered to be a community asset. In August 2006, Council determined to loan the piano to the Goulburn Regional Conservatorium (GRC) for a period of 5 years. Again, the question of “ownership” and residency of the piano is being discussed. Should it return to the Civic Centre or should it remain with and be used by the GRC? Following discussion of the pros and cons, Councilors have resolved to hold a work shop on the matter before possibly gifting the Steinway to the GRC. Currently the piano is insured for $150,000 but is only valued at $80,000 in it’s current state. Major technical repairs are currently estimated to cost $17,000. Should we gift the piano to the GRC in an ‘as-is’ condition? Should we have a deed of agreement with GRC to return the piano if the Conservatorium ceases operation or wishes to dispose of this asset?

Councilor and Mayoral Fee IncreasesYes, I did vote yes for this fee increase. Cr O’Neill was the only one who voted against it. My new annual fee will be $17,490.00 and the Mayor will receive $38,160.00. This fee rise is in accordance with the Local Government Remuneration Tribunal Special Determination of 8 April 2013.

If you wish to contact me to discuss Council related issues or to assist with any Council related problem you have, please contact me on 0434 216 342 or email me [email protected]

Tropical Birthday CelebrationThis story began two years ago when Bernard decided he wanted to do something a little different to celebrate his 60th Birthday on 15th July. After some internet research, which Bernard is becoming quite accomplished at these days, he found a wonderful holiday resort in Vanuatu, the Tropicana Lagoon Holiday Apartments, the perfect spot for a relaxing, tropical, fun break, and made the decision to book it out. Now he had to set about finding the guests that would be willing and able to fill it. He started out by jotting down those he thought would be interested, letting them know what he was planning and from there the list gradually grew and over a period of 18 months, there were enough to completely book out the resort for five days.

Over the next 12 months, Bernard, with the help of our daughter Kathryn, set about booking flights, keeping contact with those on the growing list, making sure everyone had their deposits organised, passports in order, accommodation booked for the night prior to departure and whatever else was on the list.

The group of forty-two, consisted of family members, but largely friends, whom Bernard has gathered over the years. Not everyone knew one another, as they come from different aspects of Bernard’s life, however, everyone very quickly became acquainted and it was noticed, while waiting in the airport lounge to board the plane for home, there were lots of phone numbers and e-mail addresses being exchanged. This was a great sign that many would continue contact and make new friends.

The large contingent commenced the journey on Thursday evening 11th July, when we all booked into the Holiday Inn near the International Airport in Sydney, to be ready for the early start the next day, and to avoid any hiccoughs. Friday 12th, day of departure, brought much excitement and exchanges of thoughts for what lay ahead.

Landing in Port Villa after a three hour flight, the group was met by a small convoy of mini buses and a ute for the luggage, which would transport us through the city to our destination. Everyone was delighted with what they saw was going to be our home for the next five days and enjoyed the welcoming drink which was a whole coconut full of delicious coconut milk. The bar was very quickly occupied, everyone settled in and the children were very soon happily splashing around in the pool.

The resort of self contained apartments, situated on the edge of a picturesque lagoon, a short distance from the town centre, with its own restaurant, private beach, canoes , and an endless supply of transport to anywhere, in the form of little buses and even smaller taxis, passing by, was seen as the perfect location. Now the fun begins.The first evening saw everyone dining in the modest restaurant, filling the open air lagoon-side deck with happy sounds and excited anticipation of what the next few days would bring.

The birthday boy was truly in his element, mingling with wonderful friends, enjoying an ale and soaking up the

atmosphere. That night, the rain came down heavily, making everyone wonder what we were doing there. However, the sun was shining the next morning, bringing smiles to all. This delighted Bernard, as he gathered together a good sized group and went off to the Annual Kiwanis Charity Cup, the race that stops a nation.

Race day in Vanuatu beats Flemington’s party atmosphere hands down, so they say. As the only horse race in Vanuatu, the Kiwanis Charity Cup attracts 10,000 hardy souls to a makeshift course between the airport and the abattoir. It may sound like a hellish place, but the track is gorgeous and awash with colour, well maybe on previous years, but after a night of rain, there was plenty of mud around, making the track as well as the surrounds, a great sloppy mud puddle. Most punters prefer shorts and thongs to designer gear. The group said they had a fantastic time, even after having to push the mini buses out of the bog before returning, and all said they were so glad they went. They said it was an experience they will never forget.

Other activities included taking a full day mini bus tour of the island, which is called Efate, and visiting the WW11 Museum, the Blue Lagoon, many local villages, local markets and lunch by the sea or visiting the Cascades, shopping and taking boat rides to the many little islands that are very accessible and have their own individual characteristics.

On Saturday evening, the party was treated to a Melanesian night with a feast of traditional fare and traditional island music performed by a group of local musicians.

The Waterfront Bar and Grill in town was the venue for Sunday evenings meal. We were all seated on one long table which stretched along the edge of the waterfront, with magnificent yachts lined up within full view. Very efficient staff catered to our needs and everyone came away very satisfied after an enjoyable evening.

Monday 15th dawned and the Birthday celebration began. After a leisurely breakfast where , on Bernard’s arrival, a chorus of Happy Birthday was sung, Bernard and a small group ventured off to the beautiful Erakor Island for lunch, with its crystal clear blue waters, white sandy beaches and falling coconuts.

That night was the highlight of the trip with the small restaurant decorated with balloons and table decorations of tropical flowers and plants from the gardens surrounding the resort. Guests were requested to wear something bright and colourful and they sure did that, the colourful atmosphere was amazing. A small marquee was erected to comfortably seat everyone. A two piece band entertained, performing Bernard’s favourite music while the guests were served magnificent platters of lobster, hot chips, pasta and delicious desserts. A small Birthday Cake, a surprise, supplied by the hosts, was bought out.

Special fun awards were handed out to many of the party goers, to add a little spice to the evening. Bernard thanked everyone for making his 60th very special, adding, to have such wonderful family and friends join

Tarago Show

Society Things are pretty quiet on the Show Society front at the moment. At our next meeting we will begin planning for the 2014 Show by updating our list of coordinators for the various Show activities. We are always looking for people to help in a variety of ways on Show Day, so if you feel inclined to organise or help in an activity, please give us a call.

Our next Show is on Sunday 2nd March, 2014, which seems a long way off but there is a lot to do beforehand. In particular we are looking for more volunteers to help with the horses, catering, parking or doing a shift on the front gate. Also, I hope that some of our woolgrowers out there are saving a few fleeces for the wool competition. Quality over the last few years has been good, but we have only had about twenty entries which is a bit disappointing when we live in a wool growing area. It’s not just about the champion fleece - the competition has the following classes:

1. Merino Fleece Highest Commercial Value2. Superfine Ram Fleece3. Superfine Ewe or Wether Fleece4. Fine Ram Fleece5. Fine Ewe or Wether Fleece6. Medium Ram Fleece7. Medium Ewe or Wether Fleece8. Strong Ram Fleece9. Strong Ewe or Wether Fleece10. Hogget Fleece above 64s11. Hogget Fleece 64s and below12. Crossbred Fleece any length

We also have the Illawarra Regional Dog Show at the Show Ground again this year, on Friday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th October. We will be catering for this event and need some volunteers to help with cooking, food preparation and serving in the café. We will probably be doing two hour shifts for breakfast and lunch on each day, so if you are available to help (even just for one shift) please let us know.

We will be starting up some working bees when the weather warms up as we have a few structural repairs to do and need to do some more weed spraying before everything goes to seed in Spring. The next Show Society meeting is at the Dog at 7:30pm on Monday 5th August, 2013 and as always, it is open to the public. Don’t forget we are always keen to get your advice or constructive criticism, so please don’t hesitate to contact myself or any of the committee. We can only do what you want if we know what you want.

AUSTRALIAN ANCHOR PLANT (Discaria pubescens) With its roots in ancient Gondwanaland, the Australian Anchor Plant is remarkable and rare.

On a walk many years ago I discovered an unusual plant on the far side of the paddock that surrounds our house. After checking the plant identification manuals and consulting Rainer Rehwinkel, I discovered it was an Australian Anchor Plant which is classed as rare. We put a guard around it to protect it from stock – apparently, despite the spines, this plant is palatable to stock.

Many years have passed since I have been able to walk to this site. A couple of weeks ago Max and I headed over there to replace the small guard with a much larger ring in order to better protect this special plant. Unfortunately with the ground at saturation point due to all the rain we have received over the past month or so, we managed to get well and truly bogged. Whilst Max worked on pulling the truck out I was able to make my way to the small group of Snow Gums, Eucalyptus pauciflora, under which the Anchor Plant is growing.

I very much enjoyed seeing how healthy these ancient trees are and how much seed there is awaiting collection. The Anchor Plant is still much the same height that I remember but it has grown in width and was poking through the guard and being kept trimmed by the sheep.Many fallen branches remain below the trees and ancient hollows providing homes for many birds and animals. The Anchor Plant is sheltered by the trees and is growing on a slope just above Taylors Creek. There are many granite rocks and tussocky plants in this area.

I was able to explore the general area and was delighted to find two young Snow Gums growing well, one about 2 ½ metres and the other 4 metres tall. We had placed a guard around them to protect them from stock when they were little. Other young Snow Gums have grown very well immediately over the fence, just above the creek. On the way back I discovered that the Anchor Plant has reproduced with a small one, about 30cm tall, camouflaged by growing in the middle of a large tussock. It is about 20 metres from the main plant and the new little plant now has a sheep guard too.

Discaria pubescens (Druce) (Hairy anchor plant, Australian

Anchor Plant, Hooky Bush) is a rigid, much branched, perennial shrub growing 40 cm to 2.5 metres tall. The plant is dominated by sturdy, spreading spines up to 5 cm long. These are positioned on opposite sides of the green, mostly leafless stems at regular intervals. The flowers have white-cream petals, are 3 mm long, and appear on stalks in clusters of 2-10 in the nodes. Plants may flower prolifically in spring and are reputed to be highly fragrant and very attractive to native bees.

The spiny canes have a smooth, almost waxy surface texture, and often have the appearance and flexibility of green plastic. Discaria may grow in association with beneficial soil fungi (Mycorrhizae). It has been known to reach 25 to 30 years of age. The species occurs in woodland and open forest, often in rocky situations, at around 220 to 1200 metres altitude, from south-eastern Queensland to Tasmania. It is widespread and can be locally common, but considered endangered (classification ROTAP: 3RCa).

The Anchor Plant’s spiny appearance has undoubtedly caused them to be mistaken for weedy exotics of poor reputation, such as African boxthorn (Lycium ferocissimum). It should be noted that the spines of Discaria are quite innocuous. The spines do not have barbs nor are they needle-like as you find in plants like cacti. Still, they are sharp enough to poke the eyes or scratch sensitive skin, so should be handled carefully. Discaria do not contain caustic sap like African Euphorbia (which they superficially resemble) and are not considered toxic in any way.

Propagation: the seed is often produced in abundance in late spring or summer. Germination is highest when fresh seed is soaked in water at room temperature for 1 hour, then cold-moist treated in a refrigerator at 4°-8°C for a lengthy period prior to sowing (30-90 days).Populations of plants tend to favour riparian areas, gullies or other drainage lines, suggesting that they prefer a slightly sheltered aspect where fire frequencies and intensities are generally much lower than the surrounding landscape.

him for this occasion, was truly wonderful. Everyone had the best night, even to the extent that the hat was passed around to keep the music going for an extra hour.

The next day was the last full day everyone would have on this five day birthday celebration, so we all made the most of it, by going off to spend the day seeing and doing as much as we could. Hideaway Island was the choice of destination for Bernard and a group. It is a great spot for snorkelling and scuba diving and is where you can find the famous underwater Post Office. We lazed in easy chairs after lunch and dozed.

Tuesday evening was enjoyed taking in a feast of local coconut crabs and delicious Chinese cuisine at the Golden Port Chinese Restaurant in Port Vila. Wednesday morning saw everyone getting ready to leave, paying the bill and generally taking in the last of the warmth and farewelling a wonderful group of people before boarding those mini buses again, for the trip to the airport and the departure back to reality. What a great way to celebrate a special milestone.

TAYLORS CREEK LANDCARE INC

DIRECT SEEDER DEMONSTRATION – At our field day in May, Max Limon demonstrated our land care group’s direct seeder which has been used successfully in our area. It is small and easily towed by a 4 wheel bike and was designed and built by inventor, Tony Wilson. Unlike some other seeders it does not leave a furrow that can lead to erosion, rather making a divot into which seed of either eucalypts or wattles are dropped.

PROPAGATION TUBES WANTED – Donations of tubes for propagation will be gladly accepted at our Propagation Igloo at Gilead, 662 Taylors Creek Road. Please check to see if you have any excess to your own requirements and give Ruth a call on 4849 4543. Many thanks to those who have already brought their Pots to our Igloo.

Save the Australian KoalaThe AKF is the principal non-profit, non-government organisation dedicated to the conservation and effective management of the wild koala and its habitat.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - Our AGM will be held at our August meeting, at 7.30am on the 19th August at Nardoo, 322 Taylors Creek Road, Tarago. All interested people are invited to attend.

Church Times for August

Fingernails Varnished - As soon as you varnish your nails, dip them straight into clean, cold, still water and the varnish will set

Fingers Stained - Remove with nail varnish remover, then apply hand cream.

Hair Dyeing - Rub vaseline along hairline to prevent the forehead from being marked when tinting your hair.

Hair Highlighted - Make a pot of strong tea. Let it cool, strain, then use as a rinse. It highlights dark hair, brightens fair and grey

Hair Permed - If it appears too curly, do not try and brush out the curls as this will only make it frizzy. It will drop in a couple of weeks... In the meantime, use lots of conditioner to help keep the curls supple, more manageable and looser.

Hair Washing - Before commencing, place a piece of steel wool in the plughole to catch all the loose hair.

Make-up Remover - Petroleum jelly is a most effective and comparatively inexpensive make-up remover. It removes every trace, including eye make-up and at the same time nourishes the skin.

Mascara Dry - Put a single drop of olive oil on it and it is ready for use again.

Moisturiser - Blend all together, 100g Sorbolene Cream, 10ml glycerine and 150ml water. The addition of 50g of Vitamin E cream, makes it even better and the above is

especially good after exposure to the sun.

Nectarines - Nectarines are beneficial for the digestive system, relieving wind, and also for bladder ailments. They contain Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Calcium and Iron.

Bath Mat (Rubber) - The rubber bath mat has many uses, besides in the bath. Stand a machine on it, or anything that is likely to slip about when in use, such as a typewriter, food mixer and so on.

Bathroom Tidy - Put a plastic kitchen cutlery tray in the medicine cupboard and keep small bottles in it. The partitions keep all

Book (School) - Make a sturdy cover for a school book using leftover wallpaper.

Books Stored - Books stored in damp, unheated rooms can be affected by mildew. Put a couple of lumps of charcoal in the bookcase or box. They absorb the dampness in the atmosphere and therefore protect the books.

TARAGO BUSHFIRE BRIGADE (est 1946)

July was a relatively quiet month for the Brigade with just one callout for a fire on a faulty transformer in Mulwaree St Tarago. The callout was attended by Warren Seymour and Graham Evans and Country Energy arrived shortly after to fix the problem. Apart from the transformer no damage was done, well done Warren and Graham.

Burning off is still permitted and you must notify the Yass Fire Control Centre on 6226 3100 the business day before burning or by 3:30pm Friday for weekend burning. You may also book a period of up to 2 weeks in which to burn. You must also notify your immediate neighbours and as a courtesy notify the Brigade Captain Ken Vassel on 48494652. Make sure you have some fire fighting equipment available nearby.

It is about time for everyone to start their preparation for the next fire season. Update your Bush Fire Survival Plan and reduce the fire hazards on your property.

What Is A Bush Fire Hazard?Wherever there is available bush fire fuel (combustible material), around your property, a bush fire hazard exists. This fuel may be made up of solid combustibles or flammable liquids and gases such as petrol, kerosene, alcohol, LPG, natural gas, and acetylene.

The main concern is what is called “fine” fuels - these are made up of leaf litter, long dry grass, garden mulch and certain vegetation.

Other hazards may include: • woodpiles and wood sheds • open flames and/or machinery sparks • hot surfaces such as exhausts and electrical equipment.

Hazards Around Your HomeConsider your home - one of the main causes of house fire during a bush fire, is ember attack, due to high winds, blowing from the fire front to your home. Embers enter houses through: • broken windows • gaps in and around walls • roof claddingEmbers can also be blown up against and ignite any timber surfaces used for:• supports and posts • floor joists, steps and under floor spaces

It is important to maintain your property in a good state of repair and ensure any of the above openings are blocked off and secure. It’s too late when your house catches on fire and you lose all of your belongings.

Please support your bushfire Brigade to help us to help you in time of need. All contributions are tax deductible and the money is used to better equip and maintain Brigade holdings so we can more efficiently fight fires both in the village and surrounding land holdings.

A contributions flyer was included in last months Tarago Times or contact me for details on how contributions can be made.

Our next training day will be on Sunday 25 August at 11:00am at the shed followed by a sausage sizzle. Any questions regarding the Brigade, please don’t hesitate to contact me (Keith Hunter) on 4849 4256 or email to [email protected].

HORTICULTURAL ADVICE & GARDENING TIPSCompiled by Wanda Egan

August ‘13

Be sure to spray your Peaches and Nectarines with Lime sulphur or a copper based spray (copper oxychloride) to curb “Leaf Curl’. Spray at bud swell and follow directions on the pack. Bud swell occurs just before the buds burst into life. It’s usually your flowers that burst first then your leaf buds. You can only use 1 product for spraying or the other product in one season. Spray your fruit trees with lime sulphur after you have pruned them.

It’s time to prune your Hydrangeas. Only cut the stems that have flowered this year. Cut back to a pair of fat green buds. Give your plants some fertiliser after pruning. If you wish to change the colour of your flowers, now is the time. Add Lime to make pink flowers or ‘blueing agent’ to colour them blue.

Keep spreading you fire ash over the garden or vege patch. Try not to create an unsightly pile of ash in just one place. Spread over gardens or even your lawn as if you would be spreading chook food.

I’ve found a web site that will help you all out through the year in your vege patch as to what to sow or grow. Its http://aussieorganicgardening.com/ Each month Lyn tells you what to plant in a cool climate such as ours. Lyn even helps us out with ‘Planting by the moon’.

Other sites to visit for helpful hints are;www.yates.com.auwww.gardeningaustralia.com.au

Even now on Facebook there are many pages of groups to find organic pest and disease control hints from.Be sure to fertilise your bulbs as they emerge from their slumber. Fertilise again when they are flowering. This will give them more strength for flowering next year.

HORSE’S BIRTHDAY - JUST FOR LAUGHS

Once upon a time there was a rich man that was driving past a farm, He looked over and saw a beautiful stallion standing in the field. The rich man thought, Wow I’ve gotta have him so he pulled into the farm’s entrance. He found the owner and said, “ I want that horse out yonder in that field, how much do you want for him??” Well, the farmer said, He don’t look too good.” Nonsense said the rich man “I’ll pay you $1000 for him.” But he don’t look too good said the farmer. The rich man sighed and said $2000 dollars is my final offer. The farmer sold the beautiful horse to the rich man. The one week later the rich man came back angry as ever and said,” Darn you you sold me a blind horse!!!!” Then the farmer smiled and said “ I TOLD YOU HE DIDN”T LOOK TOO GOOD!!!!”
