Tarago Rockquiz
– Oh What A Night Around 70 enthusiastic rock and roll fans came to
Tarago Town Hall to test their musical genius at our
inaugural Tarago Rockquiz. It was a fantastic night
with locals, Bungendorians, Lake Bathurstites and
Windellama dwellers attending to battle against each
other and then rock the night away. Our Rockquiz
orchestra featuring: Vince the Voice on Vocals, Paul
Doc Axeman, Johnno not-from-the-corner-store on
drums, Pete the whip on bass and supporting guitar
Smokin Hot Toddy, from the pub rock band The Ton,
kept us on all our feet until the witching hour, with
special appearance by Joe on bagpipes, who came all
the way from Goulburn for a fantastic rendition of ‘It’s
a long way to the top’.
The night was a huge success and many thanks to all
who made it possible: Samantha Brown, Anne and
Denzil Sturgiss, Howard Beileiter, Jan Keightley, Deb
Carey, our Rockquizzettes, Keisha, Ella, Carly,
Brittany, Kyron, our own roadie Dugald, and a special
thanks to the boys from The Ton for their humour,
flexibility and generosity.
The costumes were fantastic with costume winners
Brad (Kiss member Ace) and Skay (Bob Marley) taking
out the attention to detail and correctness prizes and
most authentic respectively. Many thanks to the
Loaded Dog Hotel for the donation of these prizes. Our
3 Lady Gaga’s Ella, Carly and Brittany took out the
glam awards. Our judge had a hard time choosing from
the collection of Elvis, Amy Winehouse, Dolly Parton,
Emmy-Lou Harris and Dusty Springfield just to name a
few.
Thanks also to Megan Alcock, and Gill (Julia) Shepherd
who won the 50/50 raffles and donated their winnings
back to the Hall Fundraiser. This was a great help in
making just over $1000 on the night.
The Latte Sipping Blowins from Bungendore won a
closely fought contest through judicious use of the ‘Buy
an Answer’ envelope and knowing stuff, closely
followed by The Winners and Band Buddies. Thanks
also to the Covan Creek Posse for making the trek to
Tarago, and to the Tarago locals who turned out and
had a fun time.
‘Til next time (and there will definately be a next
time), rock on!

Tarago & District
Landcare
This month we set an attendance record for members
at our monthly meeting with ten members braving the
cool morning on Sunday 6th May at the Tarago Hall.
It’s been a big month and it’s good news all round. We
applied for some funding through the Hawkesbury
Nepean Catchment Management Authority. A small
grants application was submitted and was successful.
For our efforts we have received funding to the value
of $500.00.
We decided on a list of items that would centralise our
collection of reference materials and books. The list of
items submitted by TLG & agreed to by HNCMA:
1) Lockable Cupboard for reference books, & plan
drawers cabinet for posters, site plans and field day
poster storage, (estimated costs: Cupboard $150;
Plan Drawers $150)
2) Reference Books - Grasses & Tree ID (estimated
cost: $100)
3) Whiteboard - Stand & Pens (estimated cost: $100).
Chris Elford and I went shopping in last week trawling
the secondhand shops and we got exactly what we
were looking for and we should take possession by the
end of the month.
Ten fit and strong members got stuck into
transplanting plants into pots out of the hall garden in
preparation for next month’s working bee to redesign
the garden into a very low maintenance, beautiful
garden that will become a real focal point as visitors
enter the village. Peter Campbell has kindly taken our
transplanted shrubs into his professional care out at
Nirvalley Nursery until their spring planting back into
the garden.
If all goes to plan our working bee on the Hall garden
will take place on the 3rd June following our general
meeting at 9.20am for a 9.30am sharp start with a BBQ
to cap off the day.
If you would like some more information regarding the
group’s activities please call Chris Elford (Treasurer) on
0428 249 416. Our monthly meetings are conducted on
the 1st Sunday of the month at the Tarago Hall. New
and past members are welcome.

Woodlawn Update
Woodlawn Bioreactor Update
During the month of April, due to significant increases
in gas capture, electricity generation from the
Bioenergy project reached 2434 Mega Watt hours
(MWh). This the highest generation value since the
project began and is approximately the power used by
4000 homes. This is a pleasing result for the project,
and as such the site is seeking approval to bring
forward the commissioning of a 5th generator by early
2013.
Also during the month of April, The Woodlawn
Bioreactor received its 3 millionth tonne of waste
transported from Sydney, current waste depth stands
at 75 metres. For those that might be familiar with the
mine void, the waste height is at the base of the south
western mine portal. Over the next 12 months, Veolia
will be looking to install a permanent seal to this
access; which is a fully engineered process that must
first be approved by the relevant Government
departments and involves many tonnes of structural
concrete that is keyed into the walls of the portal, to
completely seal it. This is then followed by the
installation of stabilising structures and an extra clay
seal on the exterior.
Community Liaison Committee Summary
The Community liaison Committee meeting was held in
March. The following is a summary of the main issues
discussed.
A meeting was held in February with several Taylors
Creek Road residents to discuss odour management and
this meeting was attended by the Veolia Resource
Recovery Manager Mark Taylor. The residents reported
that they have noticed no change in the odour and that
they believe it is from the waste not the leachate as
has been reported. The Veolia representatives assured
the residents that we have not stopped working on
controlling the odour and unfortunately the way odour
works you may not see any short term changes even
when there have been significant operational
improvements. We believe we have now narrowed the
odour down to two major sources, being the gas and
waste. Improvements to the gas infrastructure started
in 2011 and to date we have increased gas capture by
35% since installing the new infrastructure. These
works are continuous with extra systems being
installed as the waste is being tipped. We know that
odour is associated with emissions and so the
continuing to improve our gas capture will reduce the
odour potential. Veolia acknowledged that any odour is
not good enough but believe we are on track to see a
significant odour reduction over the coming months.
Veolia is also investigating how we can improve
communication around what is being done in relation
to reducing odour. We have spoken to some odour
consultants about setting monthly gas capture targets
that we can be measured against. Along with this we
would hand out odour diaries so people can record
important information such as time odour was
detected, the duration it stayed around and a rating of
Tarago Times June 2012
the odour 1 to 10. This information will be important
to detect any trends and give us information on what is
working and what is not.
A meeting has been
scheduled with the odour consultants for June 2012.
Some operational questions were asked in relation to
what happens when the operators first enter the void
when there is strong odour. For Veolia, operator safety
is our priority and the area is set up with permanent
gas detectors and all operators have personal gas
monitors on them at all times. The issue with gas is
that odour is not necessarily associated with danger as
odour can be detected at extremely low concentrations
in the air. So it is important that we manage the
operator safety in relation to actually measuring gas
levels in the air where they work. On no occasion have
we needed to evacuate the void due to high gas levels.
In general discussion Cr Peterson said - that Veolia is
not managing odour effectively and doesn’t seem to be
able to satisfy the Tarago community. He added that
Veolia should allocate more trust money to the
community as compensation for putting up with the
odour. Justin Houghton said the Trust money is
available for projects the Tarago community want, just
handing money out is not an effective way of managing
trust funds – the process the trust has is comprehensive
so that the money goes to worthy projects. We have
already put our hand up to help the Tarago community
with Trust applications and this still stands.
The Waste Expansion project has been approved
subject to a number of conditions; some of these
conditions need to be put in place prior to the receipt
of more waste. These include; regular odour audits,
road and pavement assessment (Bungendore Road) and
automation of the rail operation at Tarago - so the
train does not park across the road.
Before we can take any more than 500,000 tonnes per
year, which is the maximum the Clyde Transfer Station
can take, we would need to build another transfer
station. Veolia is looking at a location in Sydney at Port
Botany. This would be subject to approval and
availability of contracts to take more waste form that
general area. This could take several years and
feasibilities are being assessed, including design
options and discussions with Pacific National on
transport.
There would also be an increase in staff required to
meet increased waste volumes. VES is already in the
process of employing an additional operator in 2012
with another planned for 2013. Any locals would be
encouraged to submit a resume if they are interested
in working at Woodlawn.
Other matters arising from the meeting was that Veolia
had been informed by John Holland, who now do all
rail maintenance, that the train order working –
automatic signalling, is scheduled in for June 2012.
This will mean the train will not need to stop in Tarago
after this.
The next meeting will be held on the Wednesday 13th

Report for June
The TADPAI meeting was held on Monday 14th May
2012.
The new meeting format was a great success with
almost all of the sixteen attendees having a great
dinner of linguini or pizza prior to the meeting start.
It was great to see some new faces at the meeting
including Gus Rolan and Michael Vaughan.
Village Beautification
Landcare are now managing the work around the
Tarago Hall - really good plans have been submitted to
save maintenance work.
Hall Renovations
Hall renovations have restarted again and as I write
this we are expecting the renovations to be finished by
the end of May.
Pedestrian Crossing
Work is continuing on the pedestrian crossing and is
expected to be finished soon.
Anzac Day Sub-committee
Rob Brown, Lou Aliamo, Carl Alcock and reps from TSAI
and possibly CWA were nominated for the Anzac Day
sub-committee. We would like other nominations if
people are interested in helping with this very
important community event.
Clean Up Australia Day Sub-committee
We called for nominations and the good news is that
there is plenty of room on this sub-committee. If you
are interested in nominating, please come along to the
next TADPAI meeting. Or drop us a line to
nshep3@optusnet.com.au. Veolia have also expressed
an interest in supporting local activities, as they are
sponsors of Clean Up Australia Day.
Solar Power for the Village
We had a very interesting discussion regarding the
possibility of establishing locally produced power for
the Tarago village. There is a village in Germany that is
self sufficient for energy generation. Michael Vaughan
Tarago Times June 2012
has agreed to start investigations and report back to
TADPAI.
Skate Park for Tarago
Samantha Brown presented a proposal to build a skate
park in the village. This development would give the
young people a place where they can do something
outdoors. If you are interested in helping Sam with this
proposal, please let us know by email to
nshep3@optusnet.com.au, or come along to the next
TADPAI meeting.
St Andrews Church
Following the recent article in the Tarago Times,
TADPAI discussed options for helping the church. We
will contact the Church Warden to see what can be
done to help maintain this great community asset.
Veolia Odour Reporting
This month we included a downloadable form on the
www.Tarago.org.au website to help people report
incidents of odour to Veolia. Please download the
form, and fill in the details when you can smell the
odour from the Woodlawn Bioreactor.
Completed forms can be emailed to TADPAI at
nshep3@optusnet.com.au, so that we can collate
information about date, time and location of the
odour, and will then pass the information on to Veolia
to assist their research into the causes of these odours.
Next Meeting
You are invited to join us for dinner at the Loaded Dog
between 6:00 and 7:00pm and the meeting will start at
7:00pm on Monday 18th June.
Have a great month.
Neil Shepherd - Secretary
Rates to change across Goulburn Mulwaree
~ Increases and decreases expected ~
Residents and business owners across Goulburn
Mulwaree will see their rates change in the coming
financial year, despite Goulburn Mulwaree Council not
changing its base rating policy.
“Due to recent revaluations from the Valuer General,
properties in Goulburn Mulwaree will experience
changes to their rates,” Goulburn Mulwaree Mayor
Geoff Kettle said.
“There are a number of different rating categories in
Goulburn Mulwaree, and residents and business owners
can expect their rates to either increase or decrease,
depending on their location and rating category. We
are expecting rates for residential properties at the
northern end of the Goulburn CBD, around the Bruce,
Grafton and Lagoon streets area, to increase.
“Other areas that will experience increases in their
rates will be the Bradfordville Industrial Estate,
Kenmore, the Racecourse Precinct off Taralga Road,
and Tarago. However, there will be areas across
Goulburn Mulwaree that will see their rates reduced,
and in some cases, significantly.
If you would like to know more, please contact NSW
Land and Property Information on 1300 052 637.

A View To VIEW
VIEW stands for
Voice, Interest and Education of Women
In 1960, The Smith Family formed VIEW (Voice,
Interests and Education of Women) Clubs of Australia
to give women a network of support, a platform to
voice their views on issues of national concern, and a
collective purpose to support the work of The Smith
Family. There are VIEW Clubs in close to 400
communities around Australia with a total of nearly
20,000 members.
VIEW celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 2010 with
fifteen regional road shows around the country.
Approximately 2,400 VIEW members and guests
attended these events, representing some 150 VIEW
Clubs nationally. The culmination of the year-long
celebrations was the annual VIEW National Convention
held in Canberra, where over 900 VIEW members from
across Australia descended on the Capital, united
under the convention’s theme, Celebrating 50 Years of
VIEW. More than $1 million each year is donated to The
Smith Family through members’ volunteering and
fundraising efforts. Through the clubs, members
sponsor more than 927 Learning for Life (LFL)
students.
Southern Highlands Evening VIEW Club held their
Back 2 School day event on 16th April, as part of their
monthly dinner meeting. Members dressed up in school
uniforms some of their mothers would have been proud
of, and a couple would have definitely attracted the
attention of the Headmaster! A guessing competition
was held, with Committee members supplying photos
of themselves as children. They also had members
competing in a ‘celebrity heads’ competition and
unscrambling NSW town names. Many hilarious tales
were told of ‘memorable school experiences’. The
ladies also brought along stationery items, to be given
to the local LFL Worker for distribution to students on
the LFL programme. Funds were raised on the night,
which together with sponsor money already donated,
raising the Back 2 School day fundraising to a very
substantial amount. The ladies where congratulated
for this amazing result!
Woden VIEW Club held a very successful Back 2 School
day on 24th April. The Club raised a wonderful amount
on the day, a great effort! The committee put a lot of
hard work into the event and the members had a
‘ball’. It was so good to see so many people laughing
and just having so much fun while fundraising - putting
the fun back into fundraising.
Goulburn Evening VIEW Club welcomed special guest
Fay Longstaff of Goulburn, quilter extraordinaire, or as
she prefers the accidental quilter, at the May dinner
Page 8
meeting. Fay shared her story from not knowing what
quilting was to her thirty year addiction to quilt
making, and making an extraordinary number of the
most exquisite quilts for family, friends and anyone
who needs a quilt. Fay donated one of her beautiful
handiworks to the club to be raffled at a future date.
The ladies were absolutely fascinated with the
wonderful display of just a few of Fays' quilts on the
night. Also on the night, it was reported that the Back
2 School fund raising event was a huge success.
President Helen presented decade badges to Judy, Del,
Norma, Carol, Lorraine and Jocelyn. Goulburn Evening
VIEW Club is hosting the premiere performance at the
Leider Theatre on Wednesday 30th May, with preperformance nibbles and afterwards a delicious supper
for all. Everyone is welcome. A raffle will be run and
drawn on the night as well.
Lake George Day VIEW Club enjoyed the April
luncheon meeting with school antics, loads of old
fashioned quizzes, hopscotch, school tales and a
wonderful school lunch. All this fun was to celebrate
and raise funds for TSF's Back 2 School awareness
month.
VIEW is a wonderful national organisation that
welcomes women of all walks of life to learn, laugh,
live and make lifelong friends. For all enquiries, please
don't hesitate to call long time VIEW member, Sue on
0418 275 402.

I Hate Those Meeces To Pieces!
Or so a well known cartoon cat was heard to say! In
theory I find myself in this category, particularly when
one of the little furry rodents leaves droppings in the
kitchen, or, after being poisoned with the latest indigo
hued version of mouse exterminator, has the audacity
to die somewhere just out of reach, where the pungent
aroma of decaying mouse permeates throughout the
house. Can anyone throw light on just how such a tiny
creature can smell so bad, for so long?

Tarago Times June 2012
Last week, some days after distributing said wax blocks
behind cupboards and under the fridge, I came across a
little mouse slowly expiring outside the laundry door. I
had missed flattening the poor thing by millimetres as I
hefted an overloaded basket of freshly laundered
washing out to the line. There it was, tail stretched
out behind, little hand-like paws clutched almost in an
attitude of prayer, every breath an agonised effort,
not moving despite my very close proximity.
I studied it more closely. About five centimetres from
stem to stern, including aforementioned tail; a tiny
perfect being, soft brown fur and little black button
eyes. Beatrix Potter immediately sprang to mind and I
felt like a MURDERER! Did it have a family? Was it an
only child? Can one perform CPR on a mouse and if so,
would there be any point? After all the poison was
clearly doing its job.
I stayed beside the mouse, now named Edmund,
whispering apologies and feeling like a criminal. After
about half an hour, Edmund took his last shuddering
breath and rolled slowly onto his side, eyes glassy and
paws frozen in supplication.
I couldn’t just leave him there and
came inside to find a dustpan and
brush, or maybe it should be a little
cardboard coffin, hand-painted with
pictures of mousy angels with little
wings and halos, small pieces of the
best Brie and perhaps a grape or
two? As I pondered, eyes dampened
– not crying you understand, I found the dustpan and
returned to the scene of my crime to carefully and
lovingly dispose of the corpse.
The mouse was gone!
No doubt lifted by the
Currawong seen earlier that morning leaving large
deposits on my peg basket! Now I had two murders on
my hands as the beautiful but cruel Currawong was
bound to die. There was nothing more to be done and
I retreated inside.
Later that day whilst vacuuming the cream carpet in
the guest bedroom, I came upon more mouse droppings
together with violet coloured stains – mouse urine.
There was no removing the evidence and several
patches are indelibly marked on the floor. Poetic
justice perhaps? Well, let me tell you, the next mouse
I come upon will feel the wrath of Khan and I will
whack the little blighter with no compunction, no guilt
and no feelings of remorse at the sight of a very flat
and well pounded mouse, promptly tossed into the
fire!

By the time you read this article our AGM will be over
and the new committee will be thinking about the year
ahead. We still have a couple more events at the Show
Grounds in 2012. A birthday party in June and Dog
Shows on 26, 27 and 28th October. The Show Society
will be catering for the Dog Show and we are looking
for volunteers to help in the barbeque area. If you are
available, even for just a couple of hours, please give
me a call or email.
In May we had a small folk festival on the 7th and 8th,
then the Struggle Town Tourers Bikers Rally on the
Mother’s Day weekend.
Both events were very
successful and bought about 220 people to Tarago. It
is great to see the Show grounds being used regularly
and bringing people to the area. I would like to thank
the committee for preparing the grounds for both
events and doing the catering for the bikers.
The
feedback from both organizations was great.
Our application with the Veolia Mulwaree Trust for
$14,000 from the February round of grants, to help us
replace three of our boundary fences and also buy a
zero turn mower, has not been approved. The Trust
has asked for updated financial statements from us
and, pending receipt of this information, they will
reconsider the application at their July meeting. We
have also received letters of support for the mower
from the Tarago Progress Association and the TSA.
The next Show meeting will be at the ‘Dog’ at 7:30pm
on Monday 4 June 2012, as always; it is open to the
public. Again, I would like to thank the Committee and
all of our wonderful volunteers for their efforts over
the twelve months. If you would like to become part
of the team please contact me or one of the
committee members.

TARAGO BUSHFIRE BRIGADE
(Est. 1946)
To report all fires DIAL 000
The AGM is now over for another year and it’s back to
business as normal. So far, fire wise, we have had a
fairly quiet year but don’t become complacent about
fire hazards. Be particularly cautious with household
heaters, replace your fire alarm batteries, and if
burning off, have some fire fighting equipment
available and don’t leave fires unattended.
As I write this article we are preparing to support a
Bush Fire Fighting course, being run at Windellama on
26 and 27th May. We have six nominations for the
course and hopefully they all attended and now have
the basic fire fighting qualification. Congratulations to
David Gock who recently completed his basic course at
Towrang. We also have a number of nominations for
advanced courses being run in our zone later this year.
Remember burning off is now permitted however, you
must notify 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 4849 4652. When
burning off, make sure you have some fire fighting
equipment available nearby. Last year we had several
callouts due to runaway burn off’s, let’s not repeat
that this year.
The next training/maintenance day will be held on
Sunday 24 June 2012 at the Tarago Fire Shed; Rob
Brown will be running a session on the use of fire
blankets. Training starts at 11:00am until around 12:30
pm. followed by a sausage sizzle. All are encouraged to
attend and we hope that some of our newly qualified
members come along. Any questions regarding the
Brigade, please don’t hesitate to contact me (Keith

Tarago Sporting Association
Sport - Bringing our Community Together
“The Spirit of Volunteering has Positive Impact on Village Life “
The Tarago Sporting Association Incorporated, known
affectionately by some as the TSA, is a community
based, non profit organisation, whose membership is
open to all members and friends of the Tarago and
district community.
The main purpose of this community organisation is to
bring our community together through a commitment
to helping provide access to sport and various forms of
recreation and leisure activities. To achieve this, the
organisation has the following
Aims & Objectives
1. To identify needs and support requests for holding
sporting and recreational activities/events and to
assist with providing the means and expertise to
run such activities/events and to ensure they are
accessible to all in the community.
2. To provide an avenue whereby concerned or
interested individuals can identify and express the
needs for provision of or improvements to
community sporting and recreational facilities
deemed to be in the best interest of the whole
community.
3. To conduct fundraising to assist with the provision
or improvement of such facilities.
4. To assess the possibility of supporting groups and
individuals in the pursuit of their sporting goals.
In pursuing these aims and objectives, the TSA has
become a landowner for and on behalf of the
community and has also inherited the community
newsletter, The Tarago Times.
First, let's clarify the land area.
There are two separately titled parcels of land that
make up the TSA owned Tarago Recreation Area. One
is the off-road car park to the north of and adjacent to
the Tarago Park.
The other much larger area runs to the east of the park
and tennis courts through to its eastern boundary, the
Mulwaree River. The southern boundary is Lumley
Road and we share our northern boundary fence with
the Reynold's property.
Fixtures on the land include the olympic size dressage
sand arena , the day yards, the pony club shed, the 4
sets of covered picnic tables and seats, the cricket oval
and pitch and the recently developed designated
walking track. The area has been landscaped with a
variety of trees donated by families and individuals
who are recognised on the large sign affixed to the
eastern fence of the tennis courts.
The tennis courts, tennis club house and the small park
with BBQ shed, toilets and playground equipment
belong to Goulburn Mulwaree Council who administer
that area as a public amenity for the community.

Highlands Aerial Photogrophy’
The Tarago Times has evolved from a community
pamphlet started by the Tarago CWA Branch, maybe in
the early 80s, to become the monthly publication the
community can today access for free either from their
mail box or the world wide web. It was put together
by various willing volunteers over the years until
eventually being taken up and financially underpinned
by the Tarago Sporting Association. Now, thanks to
Veolia Environmental Services' annual sponsorship and
its strong advertising component, this community
newsletter stands alone without any financial support
from the TSA general account.
A Potted Early History of the TSA
In the late 70s a group of keen local horsemen were
having a quiet Sunday afternoon ale in the then Lake
Bathurst Hotel (now known as the Loaded Dog). Hard
workers during the week, they were sometimes at a
loose end of a weekend and got to talking about a
better way to spend their free time. Inevitably the
conversation turned to bush rides and maybe the odd
overnight camp. Being family men, they weighed the
pros and cons of the kids and their ponies also coming
along and maybe the odd dog or two as well (but not
the loaded one!).
Thus the seeds were sown, a small exploratory group
rode forth and it wasn't long until the first organised
ride. Men, women and children of varying ages met at
the first "saddling enclosure", the horse floats were
emptied, the support crews and "wagons" were loaded
up - kids who didn't have a pony, tucker, refreshments
and camping gear for an overnighter - and out they
headed.
Over the years the bush tracks took them in many
directions from Tarago. Sometimes over the range
behind Woodlawn farm house, heading to Percy Quigg's
for an over night camp with music and dancing. Other
times the track headed east from Boyd's place at
Bunnerong, Boro and through to Mayfield and down to
Ooranook near the Shoalhaven River - a memorable
camp site with a great shed for dancing.

“The Spirit of Volunteering has Positive Impact on Village Life “
(Continued from page 15)
The odd ride was had at the Sturgiss property, Virginia
and another time it was a camp at the Robert's ' place
on the Mogo Road after a ride to Oallen Ford and back.
What a freezing cold night that was!
Just a few of the many and varied rides enjoyed by the
growing group as the years passed. It was a fun time
for the kids, especially those lucky enough to have a
good pony. Most youngsters came under the watchful
eye of the caring and experienced horseman, Doug
Williamson who made it his mission to ensure the kids
were safe and happy and learning how to manage their
mount. Many a kid was awestruck by the things Doug
could do with his amazing horse, Sunny.
This is but a glimpse of the fun side of the carefree
trail riding group which, in the mid 80’s, evolved into a
more structured body known as the Tarago Sporting
Association and the major focus became the running of
a highly successful annual sporting horse gymkhana
that ran for nineteen consecutive years on the Tarago
Showground. Maybe that's a story for another issue.
Once the association got serious, it quickly became a
successful fund raising body in the community. As well
as underwriting many social and recreational outings
for its financial members and friends, it was able to
make many monetary donations to deserving charities
and other local groups over the ensuing years and still
achieves this today. You could say that for many years
it was the de facto "progress association" for Tarago
and district. Among its many key achievements was
the work done with the then Mulwaree Shire Council to
develop community recreational land for the village of
Tarago. This involved establishing the Tarago Park by
providing the volunteer labour, tools and equipment
while Council provided the building materials for the
erection of the BBQ shed and the playground area.
However, the major success story was purchasing the
land for the car park and recreation area. As you can
imagine, this took a number of years of dedicated fund
raising topped off by the many, many hours of
volunteer labour it took to transform the rough,
tussocky grazing paddock into the developed and well
maintained green community space it is today.
Take a moment to read the Sponsor Board in the car
park to understand the broad depth of committed
community and business support the TSA was able to
tap into during that time.

Unfortunately, part of the recently established walking
track in the Recreation Area was damaged in the March
floods. We did seek quotes for the damage to be
repaired but this was voted against at our last meeting
after assessing our current low level of available
finances.
Instead, members present at the May
meeting voted to have a good old fashioned working
bee on Saturday 17th June. Preparation work to remove
the material from the affected area will be done the
weekend before on 10th June.

We would love some volunteers to help as many hands

on either weekend, please come and join us.
It has been brought to our attention that there are
some concerns in the community about the TSAI and
what it does, or doesn't do, with the money raised
from the Friday night raffles at the Loaded Dog Hotel.
There also seems to be a lot of confusion about what
land the TSA owns and manages and just who has
financially contributed to both acquiring and
maintaining this area.

Our year three and year five students have just
completed three days of testing. Tuesday the students
sat two tests; Language Conventions and Writing,
Wednesday was Reading and Thursday was the
numeracy tests. Whilst it will take time for the exams
to be marked and the results to come out I would like
to commend all the students for doing a great job
during the tests, especially the year threes who were
sitting NAPLAN for the first time this year.
The results that come from the test will show us what
some of the strengths the students have and areas that
need work. The most interesting part of the results will
be from the year five students, these results show us
the growth of the student’s learning from year three to
year five.
Congratulations again to all the students who sat the
tests.

Taylors Creek Landcare
ANOTHER REASON TO TAKE CARE WHEN
VACCINATING AGAINST OJD
A few weeks ago, a sheep producer called me,
concerned because several well-grown crossbred lambs
still on their mothers, developed a progressive leg
weakness. The disease developed to the point where
some of the lambs could no longer walk.
The owner was worried about worms or a plant
poisoning and if the problem would continue.
As I drove out to the farm, I thought about the
possibilities. Phalaris staggers was rife last spring but
normally does not affect lambs. Ryegrass staggers can
be a problem in some autumns but I haven’t seen any
yet this year. I also didn’t think that this farm was
likely to have perennial ryegrass pastures. Some other
weeds including marshmallows can cause staggers and
should be considered.
Several genetic diseases cause similar symptoms
especially in merinos. However, most of these
inherited diseases are due to recessive genes meaning
that both parents need to be carriers. This is unlikely
in crossbred lambs.
When I examined some of the affected lambs, I saw
that they were bright and alert but weak especially in
the hindquarters. If pressed they ran in a swaying
fashion then collapsed. I noticed that one of the lambs
had a slight bump high on the neck. The owner told me
that these, plus all other affected lambs were from the
ewe portion.
When the owner told
me that only the ewe
lambs
had
been
vaccinated
with
Gudair I mentioned
that I was highly
suspicious that this
problem arose from a
vaccine
reaction
pressing on the spinal
cord in the neck.
I have seen this
problem once or twice before as have several of my
colleagues. Farmers have called it ‘OJD staggers.’ Bill
Johnson at Goulburn also reported a case recently in
which about 10 of 800 lambs were affected. The owner
had seen the problem in a similar number of lambs
each year over the last several years. It first appeared
about three weeks after they were vaccinated.
However, in other cases it developed months after
vaccination as the reaction enlarged or became
infected.
Of interest in the case Bill saw not long ago and the
first case I saw a few years ago, some of the sheep
were found to have previously suffered from one of the
genetic sheep diseases mentioned previously. Both
owners initially thought that these were further cases
Page 24
of this problem.
As the lambs had deteriorated and a diagnosis was
important I performed an autopsy on two cases. Both
had large vaccine reactions in the tissues on top of the
neck. Both had clear evidence of spinal cord
compression.
‘OJD staggers’ is caused when lambs are vaccinated
with Gudair high in the middle of the neck. Most sheep
producers are aware that it is important to vaccinate
lambs behind and to one side of the ear but accidents
happen.
Gudair has been a remarkable success, virtually
eliminating losses from OJD on infected properties.
OJD, once such a contentious disease is now a minor
problem easily prevented. However, Gudair does need
to be administered with care both to ensure that lambs
are injected in the correct site and to ensure that
people are not injured.

The Annual General Meeting was held in Bungendore on
2nd May 2012
in conjunction with the Molonglo
District Council AGM.
All positions were declared vacant and the following
office bearers agreed to continue in their positions:
 President: John Reardon
 Secretary/Treasurer: Joan Limon
 Vice President: Barbara Fairfax
 Auditor: Mike Welford.
In the Molonglo District Council, Ian Cargill was reelected President and Garry Grant was elected
Secretary/Treasurer with Mark Horan as Vice
President.
The main issues discussed were the Ryan review of
LHPA’s in NSW which could lead to a takeover by the
Department of Primary Industries and the implications
should this occur including what is to become of
Travelling Stock Reserves. Also discussed was the
position of the Palerang Council LEP. Concerns about
the foreign ownership of Australian farming land and
the impact of multiple developments on local roads
were raised.
Our new Regional Services Manager, Dave Banham, was
welcomed and he gave a short speech about his
background. Mark Horan gave us an update on what is
happening with head office. The Land and Water Rally
in Sydney yesterday attracted between 6000-8000
people, both from the country and the city, concerned
about the impact of coal seam gas exploration on good
farming land and the ground water that is vital to this
country.

Inside Your
Local Council
Keeping you in touch with the latest from
Goulburn Mulwaree Council.
Cr Denzil Sturgiss reports on Goulburn Mulwaree
Council matters of interest.
Hello residents and ratepayers
What a busy time, so much going on
Just a few things making news are:
Multi-Use Complex contractor appointed
Goulburn Mulwaree Council will contract Hines
Construction Pty Ltd for the design and construction of
a multi-use complex at the Goulburn Recreation Area.
The proposed complex will incorporate a multi function
area suitable for sporting activities, performance
events, conferences and celebration activities, such as
weddings, along with a viewing area overlooking the
harness and greyhound tracks.
Council determined in March 2012 that the Multi-Use
Complex was the highest priority project for
infrastructure renewal funding.
Funding from Council’s Veolia Host Fee will contribute
towards the construction of the Multi-Use Complex and
Council will allocate $1 million from Council’s Asset
Reserve toward the project.
Council’s Draft 2012/13 Operational Plan will be
adjusted to incorporate the Multi-Use Complex project.
Former Mayors Honoured
Two former Goulburn City Mayors are to be recognised
for their years of service to the local community, with
two Council facilities to be named in their honour.
The Foyer of the Goulburn Mulwaree Council Civic
Centre will be renamed after former Mayor Keith Cole
in recognition of his service to the community. The
late Mr Cole was a Councillor with Goulburn City
Council from 1977 to 2004 during which times he was
Deputy Mayor from 1981-1982 and Mayor from 19821985.
The Seiffert Oval grandstand will be renamed in honour
of former Mayor Max Hadlow who passed away in 2010.
Mr Hadlow served on Goulburn City Council from 1990
to 2004. He served as Mayor of Goulburn City Council
from 1999 to 2004 when, in February, due to Local
Government amalgamations across NSW, he was
appointed the Administrator of Greater Argyle Council.
Market and Montague Street Closures
Council has made a number of amendments to its
Support for Festivals and Events and Road Closure
Guidelines Policy which will soon be placed on
exhibition for public feedback.
You can view these proposed amendments at www.goulburn.nsw.gov.au.
Goulburn Region Woodworkers
Council has entered into a five year lease with
Page 26
Goulburn Region Woodworkers Inc for use of the house
at the Water Filtration Plant, Wheeo Rd, West
Goulburn at an annual rental of $500.
As part of the lease agreement, the Goulburn Regional
Woodworkers will convert the building into a functional
workshop/clubroom.
The group will also be
responsible for all water, electricity and gas charges.
Arcade Lane Car-park
Council will seek Expressions of Interest for the sale,
lease or exchange of a car-park at 14-16 Arcade Lane,
Goulburn and part of the Verner Street Road Reserve
for any re-development with adjoining land.
A Development Application has been lodged for a redevelopment and expansion of the Market Place
complex on the corner of Verner and Sloane Streets
and the proposal involves the Council owned car-park
at 14-16 Arcade Lane and part of Verner Street. The
Consent Authority for the application will be the Joint
Regional Planning Panel due to the capital cost of the
project.
The Expressions of Interest, which will be open for
three months, will allow other parties to inform
Council of their vision for the car-park.
Goulburn Regional Conservatorium
As a result of an approach from, Paul Scott-Williams,
director of the Goulburn Regional Conservatorium,
Goulburn Mulwaree Council will continue to discuss the
feasibility of establishing a community performing arts
space at their facility in Bourke Street, Goulburn.
The Conservatorium, already an arts centre and
centrally located, seeks to open up discussions with
Council and State Government regarding this proposal.
New drinking fountains in Goulburn City
Two new drinking fountains in highly visible locations
within Goulburn’s CBD will help spread the word that
Goulburn has plenty of water.
Earlier this week, Goulburn Mulwaree Council installed
the two drinking water filling stations outside the
Goulburn Visitors Information Centre in Sloane St and
on Auburn St adjacent to the Market St intersection.
On Thursday, Goulburn Mulwaree Mayor Geoff Kettle,
Deputy Mayor Bob Kirk and water services staff gave
away more than 50 Goulburn Australia drink bottles to
passing pedestrians.
Mayor Kettle said that the dynamic stations promote a
sustainable way of living by reducing the plastic waste
from generic bottled water.
“They provide easy access to free safe reliable
drinking water for people to use at any time of the
day, along with a low filling point for wheel chair
access.
“Best of all, these two stations will confirm to people
travelling through Goulburn that we do have plenty of
water; so much so that we have gone from being
known as the city with no water to the city that is now
giving it away for free in our main street.”

closed while the work takes place.
(Continued from page 26)
Temporary repair work was done on Friday 18th May
and the urgent repairs programmed to start on Tuesday
22nd May. It is hoped that the bridge works will be
completed by Wednesday 6th June so the road will be
open for the June long weekend.
Mayor Kettle said the stations, which were a
recommendation of Council’s Alternative Water
Initiatives working party, would be used to promote
not only some of Council’s water saving initiatives, but
also events that occur throughout the Goulburn
Mulwaree area.
“The stations currently have a number of images on
them which promote the local area, and the panels are
interchangeable, so we can have a number to promote
different events throughout the year.
Goulburn Mulwaree Council has informed all the
relevant emergency services of this bridge closure and
they will make arrangements for alternative routes
should the need arise.
The Tarago Times team presumes that it is OK for the
country folk of Goulburn Mulwaree to also take their
water bottles to town to fill up!
Signs have been placed at major entry points to the
roads leading to the bridge including the following
locations:
 Jerrara Rd near Hume Highway
 Windellama Rd near Mountain Ash Rd, Lumley Rd
and Oallen Ford Rd
 Oallen Ford Rd near Bungonia, Lumley Rd,
Windellama Rd and Sandy Point Rd
 Braidwood Rd near Bungonia Rd, Lumley Rd
Oallen Ford Road Bridge Across the Shoalhaven River
Closed for Repairs
Council also arranged for the closure to be placed on
the RTALive website.
The Oallen Ford Road Bridge over the Shoalhaven River
is undergoing urgent repairs, following an inspection
earlier. The work will mean that the bridge will be

something that Goulburn should be proud of as a
whole.”
Tarago Soccer
This year Tarago soccer will be playing under the
Braidwood Junior Soccer Club as the Braidwood
Bullants. There are three teams: under 7s, under 13s
and under 15s. Training is on a Thursday at the Tarago
oval - under 7s at 3:30pm to 4:30pm and under 13s at
4:30pm to 5:30pm. Training for the under 15s is held at
the soccer fields in Braidwood on a Monday at 5:00 to
6:30pm. There is also an extra training day available at
Braidwood soccer fields every Wednesday from 4:00 to
5:30pm for players who are interested in extra training
and who are interested in playing in the SAP and Kanga
Cup gala days.
Season 2012 for the Bullants finally kicked off on
Saturday the 28th of April. The young and keen under
13s team came up against a Workers East team
boasting no less than 6 STFA rep players. The game
soon saw Workers pressuring the Bullants goal and
some great passages of passing saw the Workers score
regularly. The Bullants kept trying though and Anthony
Seymour in the backs who made sure the Workers team
had to work hard to get past his defence. Kiera Ward
was also solid in defence defusing the
competent Workers attack on several
occasions. Jacob Babic and Nathan
Murphy worked hard in the midfield as the
Workers attack pushed the ball around
well. Half time score was not flattering
for the Bullants at 9-0 but the second half
was a chance for them to show what sort
of courage they have.
Tarago Times June 2012
The second half saw the Bullants shut down the
Workers attacks who were finding it harder to get
through for shots on goal. Britney Carey pulled off
some good saves in goal and one from a penalty spot
kick which stuck to her hands like glue. All in all a
tough game but a much better second half that saw the
Workers score less than half of the goals they scored in
the first half. Final score Workers 12 Bullants 0.
Saturday 12th May
The under 13s won 4 – 1. Jacob and Aiden Saab played
well in attack and scored 2 goals each. Jacob Babic and
Nathan Murphy had a solid game in the middle working
hard while Annaliese Babic and Anthony Seymour are
improving on the field every week with some great
play. Our younger players Amy Murphy and Crystal
Dheurle had a pro-active game and Kaitlyn and Keira
Ward had a consistent game on the wings. The back
line defence including Winter Miller, Britney Carey &
Monique Dheurle once again showed their strength and
determination. All in all the whole team showed great
combined effort which payed off with a great win.
Under 7s had another brilliant game with great
combined team effort, Grace Tubman & Cheyanne
Baxendine played strong in defence and attack. This
weeks goal kickers were Sebastian
Lesniak, Bryce Carey, Isaac Tubman and
Gemma Seymour.

Horticultural Advice &
Gardening Tips
Compiled by Wanda Gawne
June ‘12
 If you are not using your vege patch, cover with
composted manure then Pea straw or Lucerne
mulch to leave till you start your patch again in
spring. This helps the soil stay warmer for longer,
increases the microbe activity and keeps the weeds
at bay. Plant Asian greens in 2 week progression
plantings for many months supply. Liquid fertilise
fortnightly for quick growth.
 Clean your house and shed gutters of any autumn
leaves and put in the compost or straight onto the
garden.
 Watch for Orange scale on your citrus fruit. Scale
doesn’t harm or flavour the fruit but does reduce
the vigour and health of your tree. Spray with
horticultural or white oil as per directions.
 Keep an eye out now for Bindii. It is best sprayed in
winter with a selective herbicide. Bindii spray® or
a spray that contains Dicamba is best used for this
weed. Again, please follow directions as it is a
waste of product and time to ‘double the dose’.
 If you are planning on buying bare rooted trees this
season, have you prepared the ground with
composted manure or mushroom compost? This
should be done at least a few weeks before you
plant your trees.
 If you are buying fruit trees, are they ‘selfpollinating’ or do they need a pollinator? Be sure to
ask when you are ordering or buying them.
 It’s time to divide Peonies, Hydrangeas and other
deciduous plants for added colour in your garden. If
you have some extra, trade them for colours that
you don’t have or just give them away. Who
doesn’t like getting a gift of a flowering plant?
Visit your local nursery to order or buy roses now.

HANDY HINTS
Taken from Marjorie Bligh’s
“Homely Hints on Everything.”
FOR OIL OF EUCALYPTUS
Washing work clothes - Add a capful or two to each
load of wash to help clean and freshen.
Washing Woollens - A famous country recipe. 300g
pure soap flakes, 200ml methylated spirits, 50ml oil of
eucalyptus. Mix methylated spirits with soap flakes,
add oil of eucalyptus. Stir. Store in a wide screw top
jar. Use one tablespoon of mixture per garment.
Dissolve in small quantity of hot water then pour into
lukewarm wash water.
Carpet Shampoo - Use a brush and cloth with the
above woollens washing recipe.
General Cleaning - Use in the bathroom and kitchen
(sink, toilet, tiles, drains). It gives a real country
smell.
Spots and Stains - Effective in removing ballpoint pen,
chewing gum, oil soluble grease, grass marks and
various other spots and stains from clothes and
furniture.
Air Freshener - Put 5ml in a small porous pottery pot,
will give a lasting bush fragrance for weeks in toilets
etc.
Bath, Footbath, Sauna - A teaspoon or two is very
invigorating and gives an Australian bush smell.
Inhaling - Inhale the vapour from fifteen drops in hot
water, or sprinkle a few drops on your handkerchief,
pillow or in your bath.
Odours - Excellent for cleaning hands of unpleasant
odours, grease or paint.
Tar Marks - Rub with a cloth moistened in eucalyptus.
Vinyl - Great for cleaning ink, printing ink, carbon and
other marks off vinyl and plastic surfaces.
Leather - Very effective for cleaning all leather
products.
Linoleum - Add 10ml to water when washing floor. It is
great for cleaning and deodorising.
For Sticking Plaster - Oil is excellent for removing
stickers from articles without damage or abrasion to
the article.
Penetrating Oil - For seized or rusted parts apply a
few drops of oil of eucalyptus.
Garden Spray - You can mix your own spray by using
this easy-to-make formula. Mix together 5ml
eucalyptus oil, 2ml dishwashing detergent and 500ml
water. Spray around seedlings and at the base of
plants. Repeat as necessary. Ideal for earwigs, slugs,
snails and slaters. Do not store made-up spray.
Thoroughly wash sprayer after use.
Dog Wash - Many users have reported that a little
eucalyptus oil added in the water is highly effective in
removing fleas and odours.
Tarago Times June 2012
Willow Glen Gardeners
Our May meeting of the Willow Glen Gardeners led us
to “Gar- Den” – which is not only an accurate
description, but a property title and very clever play
on the names of the two owners, Gary & Denise.
The pair have carefully cultivated and nurtured a wide
range of plants including many native varieties from
local stock to create a garden that is brimming with
life and colour.
We gathered in the sunshine under the marquee with a
magnificent moth orchid hanging from its centre and
chatted about our garden weeds and woes. We
discussed autumn being the ideal time to divide up
plants such as agapanthus and iris as well as planting
out our bulbs such as daffodils and tulips before the
weather cools down much further.
We also spoke of unusual wildlife sightings and the
damaging effect increasing numbers of feral pigs are
having on our properties before we headed off for a
walk around the garden.
With a flair for all things creative, there are many
memorable hand crafted sculptures and art pieces
around Gar-Den that Gary and Denise have added to
create interesting focal points, including a fabulous
spherical sculpture made out of barbed wire and one
of my personal favourites, the old fashioned claw foot
bath complete with bathing lady!
A practical use of pre-loved objects is also
demonstrated with the collection of up-cycled old
baths that have been placed artfully in rows and are
used as vegetable patches, housing a variety of
strawberries, artichokes, lettuce, herbs, silver beet
and many more organic veggies.
Our next meeting will be at Ni and Alan Reed’s place,
1783 Range Road Mummel on the 5th of June. We start
at 10am, please bring a plate to share.
