Great response for Crime Stoppers outside Woolworth Oxenford. Kay and Ron are the best volunteers an organisation could ever wish for. They are always the first to volunteer. Plus it was good for me to catch up with heaps of locals for the last 4 hours.

Quick check of the riverbank upstream from the John Muntz Bridge. The Coomera River has eaten into about 8 meters of bank. If the riverbank isn’t armoured, the river will continue to eat away at the riverbank as it makes its way to the John Muntz Bridge.

The Coomera River has continued to erode sections of the Oxenford Pony Club upstream from the John Muntz Bridge. The Pony Club has lost another 5 to 6 meters of land. Last week I did a speech in State Parliament highlighting the riverbank will continue to erode if reinforcements aren’t carried out to protect the land upstream. The river will slowly reclaim the land as it makes it way to Tamborine Oxenford Road.

Thank you for supporting local small businesses this weekend!!! Every dollar we spend locally is returned many times by employing locals and small businesses sponsoring community and sporting groups.

The weather didn’t keep the stargazers away from last night’s (Southern Astronomical Society) monthly meeting at the Oxenford Pony Club. With the cloud cover, there was nothing to see outside but Dylan O’Donnell “as always” gave an interesting demonstration of new telescope equipment designed help beginners. Plus he is hosting a space science weekend 18th July in Byron Bay https://starstuff.com.au/
