The Springbrook Community Notices

 


The Emporium is looking pretty amazing at the moment. With the amount of people doing the right thing it's looking good and it's easy to find things and to drop things off! Thank you Mandy, it look amazing!  Hold fire on your clothes donations. We should be getting a clothing bin in a couple of weeks which might just solve the problem!

School holidays have arrived in Queensland and the accommodation is full to overflowing! Watch out on the roads and prepare for lots of people every where. Take a rubbish bag when you go walking. You'll probably fill it!

Great to catch up with families at the Skate Park and playground on nice sunny days. Drop in with the kids and see who is there from time to time!

Remember to throw rubbish into the OPEN bin at the tip. The idea is  to fill one bin at a time rather than council coming up for 2 half empty bins each time.

We have confirmed a council worker to talk about Vegetation and how its cut back as well ad someone to talk about the new foot path and Bridge at our next SMCA meeting on July 20th, 7.25pm at the hall.

If you live on roads where tourist parking at Purling Brook is a problem, make a sign to direct them to the acres of parking at the Settlement and stick on your fence or make use of your wheelie bin. Even if it only works on a few cars every weekend, it's worth it!

There seems to be trouble with the footpath. It looks like there's not enough funding to give us a foot path as well as a bridge, so we will have two foot paths that lead to a vehicular causeway. That leaving a lot of us scratching our heads asking, really? 🤔 We need to have a chat with TMR and Council to see what can be done about this!

The Springbrook Community Food Growers are meeting on July 2nd at Gina's place from 2pm to 4pm. Check the Springbrook Community Food Hardeners fb page for details!

Stay safe. Stay on your side of the road.

The Emporium is looking pretty rough at the moment. With the amount of people doing the right thing, do you begin to wonder if the mess is being made deliberatly? Hold fire on your clothes donations. We should be getting a clothing bin in a couple of weeks which might just solve the problem!

It's the last week of school for term 2 this year. Holidays start on Friday! The learning fair is on after school on Tuesdsy, reports are emailed Wednesday and the treat for the term is a FREE DRESS day on Friday!  What a week, what a term, what a year so far!

Our Community Cuppa is on this week, Friday, 10.30am at the Fudge Shop.  Come along and catch up with everyone and enjoy a cuppa in the sun shine this month!

There seems to be trouble with the footpath. It looks like there's not enough funding to give us a foot path as well as a bridge, so we will have two foot paths that lead to a vehicular causeway. That leaving a lot of us scratching our heads asking, really? 🤔 We need to have a chat with TMR and Council to see what can be done about this!

The Winter Solstice is coming up on June 20th/21st. It will be our longest night or shortest day. How will you mark the occasion? With a sleep in?

The Springbrook Community Food Growers are meeting on July 2nd at Gina's place 2pm to 4pm. Check out their Facebook page and join in tbe garden talk over there!

Have you read your Springbrook Voices and your Hinterlander cover to cover yet? There's lots off local stories, gossip and information in them and they make perfect reading with a hot cuppa. Didn't get one delivered? Pop into a Cafe and grab one from there!

Have you been up to the Gem Shop lately? It changes every week as they find new stock and figure out where to put things. Mel's there at the coffee van with hot drinks and yummy snacks. Open Friday to Monday, 10am to 4pm!

Making a report to Policelink on 131444 if you have issues with hoons or speedsters on the road is pretty painless. Pop the number in your phone and report it when you see it!

Did you know we have a number of Defibrillators in Springbrook? They are located:
With the Amulance and some First Responders,
In the Fire Shed plus the fire trucks
At the school
Inside the Community Hall
Over at the Men's Shed
And theres one at Greenwood Farm
Always call 000 for emergencies but it's good to know where they are when you need one. If you know of a location of another one, please.let us know!

Stay safe. Stay on your side of the road.

The Springbrook Community Notices

 


This month's SMCA meeting will have members of the Fire Police and Ambulance here to talk to us about what happens during times of crises. Great meeting for new residents to attend to find out how all this stuff works, what happens when you break a leg, you chimney catches on fire or you need the Police. We will also talk about how we cope when we lose both roads and the power. (Remember, the phone towers go out too eventually) Lots of great info. Don't miss it! Wrap up warm. The hall is cold. See you there! 

Weedbusters next Sunday, 9am to 11am at the Settlement. Their big trailer reveal will happen and some great weed ID, info and pulling will take place as well. Bring the kids and morning tea. Fun morning!! 

We are so lucky to have Lin the Librarian to run our wee community library for us. Drop in on Wednesday afternoon and say hi, grab a book and enjoy a chat. We also have Book club on this week. Wrap up warm, byo cuppa and enjoy other book minded people talking about books! 

The Ladies Lunch is on Friday, 12pm at the Springbrook Cafe and Bar on Forestry Road. Great chance for all types of ladies to enjoy each other's company, a nice meal and a glass of wine. Just turn up, you'll be most welcome!

Watch out for icy patches on the road now the mornings are under zero. Those shadowy corners on the western side could be iced over and slippery as!

The Springbrook Community Notices


The SMCA meeting has been changed to next week so we don't compete with the State of Origin game (Their marketing team is better than ours!) All going to plan, we will have TMR there to show us photos and drone footage and explain what is happening on the 15th! 

No Ladies Lunch this week either. Next Friday 17th, 12pm at the Springbrook Cafe and Bar. 

Just for the new people, the Springbrook Cafe and Bar is in Forestry Rd and is often called "The Pub" or "The Shop" by locals. All three places sre the same! 

Lots of chairs at the Emporium at the moment. Office chairs and dining chairs. Grab them before anyone else does! 

Now the sun is out, the tourists are back. Pop out you verge markers and signs that redirect them to the Settlement if you live near Purling Brook. They are churning up our grassy areas and bogging themselves everywhere! 

There is no ATM on the mountain, but the Springbrook Cafe and Bar will let people get upto $100 out on their EFTPOS machine. Thanks guys, that helps a lot! 

The start of Winter is a bit slow here on the Mountain as we adjust to the cold. If you want to see a group start up, start one! There's times available at the hall, the cafes love to host groups and meetings or you can hold them at home. If you have a hobby or interest that you'd like to turn into a regular group, let us know and we will tell everyone! 

Bar Fridge size FREEZER for sale. Works well. Surplus to requirements. $50 Call 0413 979 271 if you're interested. 

Lots of goodies at the Emporium as people move in and out of houses. Get in quick to grab a treasure! 

Have you checked out weather underground? It's full of private weather stations that are linked to the net and we have a few here in Springbrook. BoMs readings don't always feel right so it's good to have a local comparison! 

Springbrook Voices deliveries have started! Make sure you read it cover to cover and gather all that local knowledge and find out what's happening! 

Whole Cloves boiled in water and left to cool makes a great mould killer for those still battling our interior fungus infestation! 

Stay safe. Get involved.
