It is with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Uncle Tom Trevorrow.

On behalf of everyone at the Lakes Hub, Milang Old School House Community Centre and Milang & District Community Association I would like to express deepest sympathy to Aunty Ellen Trevorrow and to the families of the late Tom Trevorrow, Ngarrindjeri Elder, Leader and inspiration.

Uncle Tom showed us the way; through reconciliation in action, care for country and love and respect for one another.

He will be missed by us all.

Good afternoon Everyone!

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather! There is so much going on at the moment I cant pick just one thing to talk about so here goes:

The Currency Creek Regulator Removal process has begun with a barge arriving on site last week and boating exclusion zone being enforced.

I am glad to announce that the presentations given at the 2013 World Wetlands Day event at Signal Point are finally on the web! Download them here

Don’t miss Thursday’s Talking Heads session from 4-6pm with DEWNR and Alexandrina Council staff about woody weed control (including Aleppo Pines) on Northern Hindmarsh Island. There is also the Ringbalin ceremonies occurring through April and a host of other up-coming training opportunities including the Eco-wise Action workshops I am running in Goolwa in May and still eagerly anticipating some bookings!

Most importantly don’t miss Grant funding opportunities available, page 3.

Enjoy the rest of the week! Best Wishes, Amelia

Bulletin 142: Meningie Food, Fun & Family Fair

Bulletin 142

Last Friday evening Andrew Dawes & I took a Lakes Hub stall to the Meningie Fair. We shared a tent with the Meningie Progress Association (who were selling freshly cooked Coorong Mullet sandwiches), and the Ostrich soon to be installed on the Meningie Foreshore as a Tourist attraction- telling the story of the famous “Birdman of the Coorong”.

It was a great evening, perfect weather, heaps of free fun for the kids and lots of good food, as well as a great opportunity to chat to a number of Meningie locals and visitors to the area about the Community Revegetation Program and the Lakes Hub.

I am always keen to get out and talk to community members about the Lakes Hub.

Cheers, Amelia
