14.01.2022 Tasmania is at a crossroads on feral deer management. Numbers are increasing across the state and deer are invading the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area... and other high conservation value areas. The development of a management plan that protects Tasmania's incredible wilderness areas and its farmers from destructive deer is critical to protecting what we love about Tassie. Public input is being encouraged at meetings being held next week in Bothwell, Longford, Ulverstone and Brighton. For details visit https://dpipwe.tas.gov.au//wild-fallow-deer-management-plan

09.01.2022 - It’s been a big year of infrastructure upgrades and conservation work at Chauncy Vale Wildlife Sanctuary at Bagdad. First and foremost, Chauncy Vale is a place for wildlife conservation and education. We’ve been monitoring wildlife with our cameras and are pleased to report healthy populations of Tasmanian devils, wombats and quolls within the reserve. Endangered birds such as the masked owl have also been observed.... Conservation management work has included; planting of 1000 native trees, shrubs and grasses; erecting ‘check dams’ to halt erosion in Day Dawn Creek; and controlling thistle outbreaks. Damper conditions this year enabled environmental patch burning to be undertaken, the result being a reduction in fuel loads and stimulation of eucalypt regeneration. The weather has been a talking point this year, some big rain events have brought the reserve back to life, flushed out the rivulets and stimulated an explosion in frog numbers. A freak low level snowfall in July created headaches for us with weeks of work required to clear the track network of trees and shrubs brought down by the weight of snow. We are always attempting to make the visitor experience at Chauncy Vale safer and more enjoyable. To this end we have installed pedestrian bridges on the popular Caves Loop Track, stabilised and clad the picnic shelter, upgraded the track to Browns Caves, and started to replace the fence around Day Dawn Cottage. For the children we have also commenced a ‘wombat sculpture installation’. Chauncy Vale is a great place to spend time during the holidays whether it be for a picnic, a walk, photography, visiting Day Dawn Cottage or observation of nature. All the information you’ll require for your visit is on the Chauncy Vale web site www.chauncyvale.com

07.01.2022 The new purpose-built Aquatic Centre for the region will now become a reality with the Southern Midlands Council deciding to progress to construction phase at the Council Meeting held today. This project was identified some twenty plus years ago in recognition that the existing facility was nearing the end of its useful life.

07.01.2022 The Tasmanian Government is looking to lift restrictions on entry to the State from safe jurisdictions if monitoring and preparedness suggests it is safe to do so. In preparation for this, the State Control Centre’s Public Information Unit is supporting the University of Tasmania to deliver a survey, which aims to understand community’s attitudes and concerns in relation to border management and compliance measures. This survey is part of a series that is being conducted as T...asmania progresses through the phases of the COVID-19 crisis to recovery and beyond. The findings will help to inform Public Information Unit’s work on longer-term community behavioural change for COVID-19 safety. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and can be accessed via: www.surveymonkey.com/r/TTP_borders

06.01.2022 The small community of Parattah benifitted most from today’s Drama Club casual chat! (24.09.20) A keen Parattah community member is taking the information back ...to that community and will share it at another chat session to be held on October 11th, during the Parattah Community Market! More information regarding both the upcoming Market and the proposed Parattah Drama Group discussion to appear in a future post.

05.01.2022 FLASHBACK FRIDAY! The Hotel, much loved landmark of the town - see below for an account of the opening of this grand building. (Photo, Launceston Reference Li...brary LPIC147-3-239). Mercury (Hobart, Tas:), Monday 7 October 1889, page 4 ________________________________________ PARATTAH RAILWAY HOTEL. The new hotel and refreshment room at the principal stopping station on the Main Line Railway may now be considered complete, there being nothing wanting but a few articles of furniture which are either in the hands of the cabinet maker or in transit. For many years past the small building occupied by Mr. Johnston has been totally inadequate to the demands made upon it, both in regard to the supply of refreshments for every passing train-load of people, and in the matter of accommodation for the many who desire to break the journey across the island. When the former proprietor thought of retiring, a proposal was made to him to sell out to a company, and upon his agreeing to do so the Parattah Hotel Co. was formed to purchase the old building and erect large and commodious additions upon a much better scale, than any yet attempted in Tasmania. Mr. Fagg, architect of Hobart, was commissioned to prepare plans, and the design he selected is a pleasing change in our colonial architecture. There is nothing new in it, except so far as this colony is concerned, as the building is of the Queen Anne style, and composed of rock-faced masonry to the level of the first floor, and above that walls and gables in the English half-timbered style. Tasmanian architects have not yet attempted anything very different from the style of houses erected here 50 years ago. In the cities and towns of the adjoining colonies there is a variety in the character of the buildings, but in this country one house differs very little from another. However, in the edifice under review there is a picturesqueness which harmonises with the surroundings, and, best of all, a maximum amount of accommodation provided at a minimum cost. The building is nearer the railway platform than the old one, and the entrance in the centre opens into the large refreshment room, 54ft. by 20ft. A sub-stantial counter, with some neat carving in places, runs the full length of the room, and tables sufficient to seat 60 people, are placed in a row along the centre. The great length of counter enables a much larger number than that named to partake of refreshments during the short time the train stays at the station, and as the number of people who travel during the winter months is much less than in summer, arrangements can be made to divide the room, and thus convert what would otherwise be a cold hall into a snuggery. Behind the counter there is a cosy little parlour where persons waiting for trains can enjoy a pipe and a glass, discuss the daily news, and at the end there is a large, billiard room, equipped with one of Alcock's best tables and all appurtenances. There is every convenience for supplying thirsty players with anything they require without going from one room to another, slides being placed in the walls. About the centre of the large room a small passage towards the rear of the building leads to a brick and cemented storeroom, in which perishable goods can be kept cool, and on the opposite side of it a pantry. Hot and cold water is laid on all over the place, and it is very conveniently placed in the pantry and brought up under the counter in the refreshment room with a view to economising labour as much as possible. The old hotel bar is being converted into the office of the company, and at the rear of it is a waiting room for ladies, who may be resting at the hotel to meet a train, but before anything further is done to the office it would advisable to make it the waiting room, because from the window occupants of it could see trains arrive and depart, and refreshments could be supplied through a slide in the wall. The old refreshment room has been con-verted into a commercial room, and second class refreshment room, the old railway liquor bar into a sample-room, for commercial travellers, and the old hotel bar placed at the rear of these. By this arrangement the whole of the railway refreshment bars and rooms are distinct from district hotel traffic. The kitchen is fitted with a first-class cooking range, which, besides doing the cooking, supplies hot water for baths, etc., and at the back of it there it a very complete wash-house, with troughs for washing and coppers for boiling clothes all set up. A large under-ground tank, holding 10,000 gals. of water, has been excavated at the back of the building, but this will be used only in dry seasons. The water now used is laid on from a spring some distance away, but should that fail the tank which holds the water from the roof can be resorted to. Looking at the exterior of the new building one would not expect to find so much accommodation up-stairs, but there are large, lofty, well-lighted bedrooms, a sitting-room and bathroom. There are also the bedrooms in the old place, which will be used for those who want to sleep more cheaply. The new rooms are all very comfortably furnished, and in the course of a month or so when the walls are coloured they will be all that the most fastidious could desire. Mr. W. H. Cheverton, the contractor, has carried out the whole of the work in first-class style, and the company have got good value for the money expended upon it. The total cost of building tank and alterations to the old place is about 1,700. Messrs. Dempster and Pearce, of Launceston, have furnished the hotel throughout in first-rate style. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Bohmann have the management of the place, and they have a large amount of European and Australian experience to back them up. Mr. John Colvin, the popular and energetic Stationmaster at Parattah, who is secretary to the company, has been very active in his efforts to get the building erected, and he is very sanguine of the success of the venture. Now that good accommodation is available, persons having business to transact in either of the cities can leave by the evening trains, and after enjoying a good night's rest proceed with the journey next morning, whilst the billiard table and cosy rooms will render the long wait by the mail trains more tolerable. There is a very general desire on the part of the travelling public now that the new building is completed that the express should stay longer at Parattah, and give time for those who want a good meal to sit down and enjoy it, and a petition bearing on this subject is being largely signed for presentation to Mr. Grant.

05.01.2022 The next Council meeting is being held on Wednesday, 25th November 2020 at the Oatlands Ex-Services and Community Club, 1 Albert Street, Oatlands commencing at 10.00 a.m. Public Question Time is being held at 10.30 a.m. All ratepayers and residents are welcome to attend....

03.01.2022 ‘ ’ ? School’s almost over and it’s nearly time for the summer break. But just because school stops, doesn’t mean your child’s asthma management does. Every year there is a sharp rise in the number of asthma flare-ups for children when they return to school after the holidays. This results in a significant increase in Emergency Department visits, hospitalisations and days off school. Not only is this unsettling for children as they start a ...new year at school, but often it impacts on time off work for parents or carers also. Learn more about what you can do now and over the holidays to ensure your child’s asthma control is maintained or improved and how we can support you to achieve this. We’ll help you tick the boxes with parent resources, so you and your child are asthma ready for ’back to school’ next year.
