Please pop along and support our mates in the Valley as they discuss their 600% rates increase, fight for the reinstatement of the facilities at Forest Park and look at the red tape around eco tourism that they face. Really interesting meeting. The media will be in attendance.

Tuck shop is operating at the school again this term. Talk to the team at Dancing Waters Cafe about getting lunch delivered on a Friday for $5 or $30 for the term.

*Found a hurt or injured animal on the road? Call Wildcare on 55272444 and they will get onto a carer on the mountain for you. To report dead wildlife for our statistics, please text 0418454732 with the location/address, day, date and type of animal. Don't forget to check to check the pouch if it's a female marsupial.

*Dont forget to make Springbrook Voices your first stop when you need a tradie on the mountain. Theres lots of great people who are very good at what they do, right here on our doorstep. Call the first and shop local when you can!

*Theres lots of road side stalls popping up over the place at the moment. A lovely way to spend the weekend mornings is to drive around with some cash visiting the stall to see what local goodies are on offer. From Echo Valley at the beginning of Lyrebird Ridge Road to Greenwood Farm right up at Goomalarah,  there is often six other stalls open as well. See if you can find them all and enjoy our local goodies.

*Have you seen Cane Toads on the mountain this year??? WaterGum are selling traps and bait to catch these menaces and both are available from WaterGums offices at Parklands Country Paradise in Nerang. Check their website for lots of information about cane toads and what you can do about them!

*Check out the social media accounts for our local business and groups. Theres a great buy, sell and swap one in facebook, great stuff coming from the explorespringbrook instagram account and lots of our cafes and shops operate accounts letting us know what is happening in their world. Stay in the loop and like these accounts and support our local business!


*The afternoon Amblers are trying out Velvert Downs Road for their walks at the moment. They meet at the Telstra Exchange on the corner of Springbrook and Velvet Downs road about 3.30pm to walk as far as they can (at their own pace) for half an hour before returning. Bring a brolly. It rains at 4pm on Thursdays. Just ask them!

*Please, please please, slow down in front of the school. Its starting to get quite dangerous outside the school during drop off and pick up times, and is concerning all those there at the time. It's most likely to be locals at that time of the day too. Please, slow down. Its a hard enough road to cross with out a bag, or am and a 5 year old in tow...

*Food Scrap Friday is a community composting initiative run by the school and its P&C. Just bring your bucket of vege food scraps to the gate between 8am and 8.30am and the gardening project kids will weigh it, empty it into their compost heap and rinse the bucket before returning it to you at the gate. A great way to be involved even if you dont have kids at the school.

*Have you seen the new environmental  initiative that's being started by members of our mountain community? Sarah and Keiran have created Climb a Tree Foundation to help spread all sorts of environmental and sustainable  ideas and projects around. You can join as foundation members or support the go fund me page to make and install wildlife nesting boxes in fire affected areas. Have a look on the My Springbrook webpage under Climb a Tree Foundation for more details. www.lovespringbrook.blogspot.com
