PINE MOUNTAIN ANZAC MEMORIAL
Please help us honour our local heroes by telling us of the names of PINE MOUNTAIN BOYS WHO ENLISTED IN WWI.
The CENTENARY of the First World War Gallipoli campaign and the birth of the ANZAC tradition are in 2015. In order to mark this occasion the Historical Society is planning to erect a monument in the Cricket Pitch Park with a plaque to honour all local servicemen who served in the First World War. The Monument will be unveiled and dedicated on ANZAC Day Centenary, 2015.
The Historical Society urgently needs the names of MEN OR WOMEN from PINE MOUNTAIN and surrounding districts who served in WW I or WW II.
So far we have seventeen names. We don't want to miss anyone, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we might enjoy our freedom.
If you know names, please contact the Historical Society ASAP!
KOALA ALERT!
PET DOGS KILL PINE MOUNTAIN KOALAS
We have heard reports at Division 10 meetings of Koalas being brought in injured from Pine Mountain. Dog owners are reminded that a koala tends to travel straight to its target area (usually a food tree) and will climb fences, posts, houses or any other obstacle in its path. Any dog will feel threatened by a koala crossing into its territory and will attack it. Because a koala's skin is so pliable, internal organs are easily punctured. Even a quick bite can cause a slow, agonising death.
What you can do to prevent dog attacks.
1. Tie up dogs every night or enclose them on a patio.
2. Check trees before leaving dogs unattended all day.
3. Create a "koala friendly" corridor by planting koala food trees along fence lines. (You can get free gum trees from the
Council)
4. Consider the size of the dog before acquiring it. Small dogs are more alert and make a better alarm system than larger
dogs. They also do less damage to property, children and wildlife
