FIRE SEASON HAS NOW CEASED
The Long weekend Friday ( last month ) saw the Bungonia Hall open for a light meal ( pancakes, tea / coffee )
and that toilet break for visitors passing through the village on their way to their various destinations. We were
open between 9am - 2pm and this proved successful and
will, no doubt, be repeated for future long weekends.
The Rock n’ Roll afternoon at Bungonia Hall a
couple of weeks ago was another successful event, even
though it clashed with Windellama’s Auction date but still
saw around 80 people turn out for the afternoon to listen to
some great music.
ANZAC Day
Saturday 25 April saw another large turnout of
people to remember those who served their country at
Gallipoli, and other theatres of war, 100 years ago.
The Service was followed by the Commissioning of
the Gallipoli Grove garden area of Bungonia Park were the
names of those local Bungonian’s are inscribed and mounted
in local granite boulders to be forevermore remembered.
Congratulations must go to the Park Trust on having
the War Memorial and the Park looking so great. Both the
Ceremony and the Memorial and the Commissioning of the
Gallipoli Grove were very well attended and it was especially
moving to have Kira Broadhead and Gretel Ayre unveil the
Gallipoli Plaque.
Both had ancestors who were at Gallipoli. Sister Stella
Broadhead was a staff nurse at Gallipoli whilst Private Leslie
Leonard Broadhead & Charles Ayre took part in the landing
together with Private Albert Victor Ayre and Lance Corporal
George Herbert Ayre.
We were
honoured to
have representatives from the
New Zealand
High Commission and the
Goulburn Mulwarree Council
and a contingent from the
Windellama
S.E.S. in attendance.

maintenance is the responsibility of members. Cleaning is less of a problem since the

sweep the Hall and remove rubbish and
clean the kitchen after use. If, however, we
have to employ a cleaner, then the fees will

Kitchen: The new stove is installed and there is hot and cold water over the sink, much to the joy of the ladies
( and one bloke ) who works in the kitchen. It is also appreciated by all who use the Hall. A new acquisition is a
large urn with nice clear temperature markings. Cals cooked up a storm at the Country Music afternoon and his
specialty, “ Hot Dogs “ were very popular.
Country Music afternoon: A solid crowd or around 80 people were entertained by an afternoon of excellent music and they also enjoyed the fare from the kitchen. A special thanks to Loz & Mike who did the organizing and to
the musicians who generously donated their time and efforts to benefit the Bungonia Community.
Market Day: It was a cold wet day and so not many stalls outside but inside the Hall it was business as usual except there were fewer customers. One thing you can’t control is the weather. Thanks to all who did turn up.

BUNGONIA. THE peacefullness of our little township has been greatly disturbed by a series of melancholy events which
have taken place during the last week.
On Tuesday last, a son of Mr. James Armstrong's tripped while running, and falling on one arm broke it at the elbow. The
little fellow was immediately taken to Goulburn, where the limb was set by Dr. Morton, and I am pleased to say the patient
is progressing favourably.
The fatal gun accident which happened to Mrs. Dorman, an accurate account of which was given in your edition of Saturday last, continues fresh in the minds of the people here, and everyone sympathises with Mr. Dorman in his sad bereavement. On Sunday morning about 11 o'clock an infant daughter of Mr. James Armstrong, died. The poor child was six
weeks of age and had been ailing almost since her birth. Owing to the continued dry weather and scarcity of good water,
many persons here are suffering from diarrhoe ; colds also ale prevalent in consequence of the sudden change which took
place in the atmosphere.
They are NOT grey hairs ! They are Wisdom Highlight !! I just happen to be extremely WISE !

Statutory FIRE SEASON STARTED 1 OCTOBER 2014.
A fire must be supervised at all times.
FIRE DANGER RATINGS
Yass Zone MUST be notified at least 24 hours before
you light the fire, during business hours ( 9am - 5pm ) or
3.30pm on Friday. Phone 62263100
Your immediate neighbours must be notified before
you light any fire.
Notify the local RFS Brigade, as a courtesy, to circumvent the false alarms of smoke being reported by others.
https://www.facebook.com/
groups/404964652948232/
For your survival, leaving early is the only option.
Leave bush fire prone areas the night before or early
in the day - do not just wait and see what
happens.
Make a decision about when you will leave, where you
will go, how you will get there and when you will return.
Homes are not designed to withstand fires in catastrophic conditions so you should leave early.
Catastrophic
Extreme
Leaving early is the safest option for your survival.
If you are not prepared to the highest level, leave early
in the day.
Only consider staying if you are prepared to the highest level - such as your home is specially
designed, constructed or modified, and situated to
withstand a fire, you are well prepared and can actively defend it if a fire starts.

Mandatory Bush Fire Season has
now ceased but you still need to
inform Yass Zone and neighbours
at least 24 hrs prior to burning.
Severe
Leaving early is the safest option for your survival.
Well prepared homes that are actively defended can
provide safety – but only stay if you are physically and
mentally prepared to defend in these conditions.
If you’re not prepared, leave early in the day.
Safety suggestions for the quad bike
Very High,
High High, Moderate - Low
Review your Bush Fire Survival Plan with your
family.
Keep yourself informed and monitor conditions.
Be ready to act if necessary.
Usually, fire details are locally updated on the Bungonia Facebook page when circumstances permit.
Suggestions include:
Use the quad bike strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Leave all safety guards in place.
If your quad bike needs accessories, make sure to use the manufacturer’s
equipment or their recommendations.
Fit accessories properly. Don’t ‘customise’ the fit or you may compromise the quad bike’s stability.
Strictly observe the load ratings.
Keep the quad bike in good mechanical repair.
Perform a safety check each time before you ride.
Avoid travelling up or down steep inclines.
Don’t ride in terrain beyond your riding ability.
Bungonia’s UHF CB channel.
Channel 8 ( repeater ) / 38 ( simplex ) is now up and
running from Bungonia Hts.
If you have a uhf cb radio, you can now take advantage
of these channels for your daily communications needs
- if your radio / location is suitable.
Safety suggestions for riders
Suggestions include:
Treat the quad bike the same as other work machinery, not as a recreational
vehicle. Don’t attempt riding irresponsibly or attempt stunt riding, like
performing ‘wheelies’.
Don’t allow untrained people to ride the quad bike.
Caution children about the dangers and do not let them use the quad bikeuntil they are properly trained and supervised. Make sure they keep
well clear of the quad bike at all times when someone else is riding it.
Never allow passengers on the quad bike. Carrying a person on the back
limits the rider’s ability to shift weight appropriately.
Always wear appropriate protective gear – for example, a helmet meeting
Australian standards (wear goggles if your helmet doesn’t have a visor), boots, gloves, heavy-duty trousers and jacket.
The next Bungonia RFS meeting will be the 2 June,
starting with a normal meeting at 7pm followed by the
AGM at 7.30pm at the fire shed.
Ride at an appropriate speed at all times.
Slow down before turning a corner or braking.

Gardening in April
Start preparing for the coming winter, rake up fallen leaves
and compost to male rich mulch for the spring. Start moving
or covering frost tender plants to a sheltered position. Order
bare rooted roses , trees and shrubs now to establish before
the really cold weather. Plant tulips and iris if this has not
all ready been done.
Plant garlic now in an area that was not planted the previous year, in full sun and free draining. Harvest when leaves
die off..
Pick remaining apples and pears, clear fallen fruit from
under trees to prevent the spread of disease. Place sticky
bands around the trunks of apples, pears, plums and cherries
to trap wingless winter moths. These can be made from
greased brown paper. Also plant bare rooted berries while
the soil is still moist and warm, this will enable the plants to
establish before the really cold weather sets in.
Don’t forget to clean the flue of wood burning heaters before lighting to prevent them catching on fire, bring in the
fire wood ready for the first cold day. Stay warm and cosy.

“Xavier’ – another WIRES
success story!
By Kay Muddiman – Publicity Officer
Xavier is a Common Wallaroo joey who came into care during last September, having been orphaned when his Mum
was killed on the road. He was luckier than most as it happened not far from our place and the driver was a local who
knew we were in WIRES, so she brought him straight to
us. Xavier weighed only 1.26kg, and although traumatised,
he was still warm and hydrated, which gave him an excellent
start.
He didn't take long at all to adapt to the artificial teat and a
'human Mum' and thrived right from the beginning. He spent
some time outdoors every day, initially in his pouch with me
holding him to ensure he got his daily dose of sunshine and
also to get him used to the outdoor noises of the bush. By
the time a month had passed he was happy to hop around
me when I took him for his daily walks around the paddock/
bush. He gradually got more and more confident, and by the
time he had been in care for around two and a half months,
he was permanently outside in an enclosure, and absolutely
relished being in and exploring the bush.
Goulburn Evening Penny Post Sat. 10 October 1914
BUNGONIA. Obituary. - A wire conveyed the news
on Saturday last of the death of Mr. Bob Frost, brother
of Mrs. R. A. Wood, of Jacqua. The deceased, who
lived in Sydney, had been ailing for some considerable
time. He leaves a family of three, one son and two
daughters. Mr. Murphy Frost, late of Bungonia, and
who recently went to the war, is a son. The funeral of
Mr. James Reynolds, whose death I reported in last
week's edition, took place on September 21st. and was
largely attended. The remains were interred in the Roman Catholic cemetery, Newbridge. On Sunday last
mass was said in St. Michael's Church, Bungonia, by the
Rev. Father Slattery, and the prayers of the congregation were requested for the repose of his soul. The deceased was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, of
Bungonia, and not the second, as reported by me at the
inquiry. It transpired that the deceased, accompanies by
his brother Charley, went to a neighbour's residence to
spend the evening, and while all present were indulging
in a conversation the deceased rose from his seat and
exclaimed that it was about time to be making for home.
The host noticed him reel and stagger, and rushed to his
assistance, when the deceased fell into his arms and expired in a few moments, the cause of death being a rupture of an artery of the heart. The deceased never at any
time complained and always felt in good spirits.
Xavier continued to grow and do well, and at just over 8kg he
was weaned and began his ‘soft release’ process. This involves gradually allowing an animal more and more time out
of their enclosure to explore and become familiar with the
area into which they are being released. Eventually the enclosure is left open so that they can come and go as they
wish. At first they return quite often to the security of the enclosure, but gradually the time ‘away’ increases until eventu- Farewell.-- Mr. John Sheedy, who lately disposed of

some silver teapot and silver-mounted oak tray, accompanied with an address. After the presentation the usual
toasts were honoured. Mr. Sheedy, in reply, apologised
for the absence of Mrs. Sheedy. He wished to thank
them for their kindness extended to him during the years
since he had come to live with them. He regretted very
much having to leave Bungonia and all his friends. He
could not find wolds to express how delighted he was
and how proud he felt in receiving their valuable gift,
which he would keep in memory of his Bungonia
friends. He had no hesitation in saying that his successor
will receive the same kindness from the people of Bungonia as he had. The war is affecting us very much and
our flock owners seem in no hurry to get the clip off.

Community First Responders
C.F.R. / S.E.S.
These blokes and women do an absolutely fantastic and critical job in responding to medical emergencies in this area and dedicate a lot of
their personal time in an effort to help and protect members of this, and other, communities.
C.F.R. Members are also member of the S.E.S., and are further trained in advanced First Aid techniques by the NSW Ambulance Service
and could be called upon to provide advanced first aid at roadside collisions and other emergencies in areas where there is no immediate
State ambulance service available or close by.
C.F.R. Members also have a positive working relationship with local Police, Ambulance and other emergency services.
In order to keep this vital C.F.R. Active in this community, further volunteers are urgently required. If you are interested in this line of
activity - please contact Kevin Muffet on 4844 7143 who will be more than glad to explain the processes to you.
Regards from Kevin Muffet
Team Leader 48447143
Windellama S.E.S.& C.F.R.
The C.F.R. is still in need of suitable volunteers to join the
organisation as First Responders.
This would be a great career step for the younger folk
who are looking to get into the medical field Ambulance
Service, Police Force etc.
It would also be a great way for good local people to join
in a winning team who are out there to help others.
If you would like to join the S.E.S. / C.F.R. then give Kev
a call and speak with him about it.
