On my blitz visit to the Queanbeyan Sewage Ponds I was interested to see a notice indicating that adjacent land was to be the site of a processing facility for sewage TRUCKED IN from the new Googong Township - NSW. Apart from anything else It occurs to me this NSW sewage could have been TRUCKED a little further to a site below Lake Burley Griffin - where most of Canberra’s sewage is processed. I note that it is being processed below Queanbeyan. Those Googong residents will have the best of everything - live in NSW, work and shop in Canberra AND have their sewage processed in the national capital.

I was interested to see on my blitz visit to Callum Brae that the very large section of an old euc which had fallen across the quarry fence has now been cut up and the debris placed in a number of small piles just a little further down the slope. It's an open grassy area, and no doubt this will encourage small critters (insects, reptiles etc) to multiply. It's an area popular with flame and scarlet robins in winter, and at times the dusky woodswallows, so good to see this happening to make it even better. (only hope the bunnies don't see the wood piles as additional places to burrow under).
