Back from the Brink …

The majestic Eastern Bristlebird was once on the edge.

Back in the 1990’s there’s was only 20 or so birds in our neck of the woods.

👉 Over the last thirty year ~ NSW Parks, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Save our Species along with private landowners have come together ~ maintaining and expanding open grassy woodlands.

🙏 Thanks to this collective passion, a unique breeding program, ecological burns, w**d control ~ restoring critical habitat has paid off … Birds are back !

Kyogle Ranger Stephen King, with 50 yrs of service, has been there since day one ~ playing a crucial role, lending a helping hand …

Congrats to all those involved in this extraordinary journey ❗️

💦 Despite wet weather ~ works continue, with extra crews to be brought on 🚧

This National Volunteer Week Id like to extend a heartfelt, sincere thanks 🥰 to all of our extraordinary volunteers touching lives across our community.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.🙏

Volunteering is at the core of being a human. No one has made it through life without the help of someone else.

So thank you 🙏

Bring Back the Banner❓😉

🍃 As gateway to the rainforests ~ a welcoming banner ‘Come for a day, stay for a life time’ greeted you.

Inspired by community, sponsored by community ~ its simple, welcoming message resonated.

What’s your thoughts ? As a community should we bring back the banner ..?

How good was that … Kyogle Readers and Writers delivered yet again! 📚

There was a real vibe, an energy about town ~ thought provoking conversations, engaging panel discussions ~ a reason to pause, to ponder.

Thanks to the generous sponsors, the gifted authors, the wonderful volunteers who undoubtedly, make this the best little mini fest on the nth rivers !
