Are You Bushfire Prepared?
Are your family and home at risk?
- Do you live within a few kilometres of bushland?
- Does your local area have a history of bushfires?
- Is your home built on a slope?
- Do you have trees and shrubs within 20m of your house?
- Is your Bushfire Survival Plan more than one year old?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to one or more of these questions you may be at risk in the event of a bushfire.
To find out more on how to prepare your property and yourself the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service in Atherton is hosting a public meeting in the lead up to the bushfire season.

Rainfall for 2010-2011
The 2010-2011 wet season was quite impressive.
The graph below (click on it to see it full size) clearly shows the build up of the rainy season, the lull as the monsoon trough moved away from us for a little just before Cyclone Yasi and then the steady decline during March.
| Total rainfall for the year: | 1580mm |
| Maximum rainfall in one day: | 77mm |

The “World’s Best Climate”
There is a persistent urban myth in the local area that National Geographic conducted a survey and analysis of climates around the world in the 1970s.
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find evidence of this over the years and so far haven’t found it. But, this is not to say that there isn’t a grain of truth behind it.

Queen of Walkamin Diplomatic visit
This coming month the Queen of Walkamin will be conducting a whirlwind trip around the world.
While any specifics of the diplomatic visits obviously must be kept confidential we are hopeful of at least a postcard or some photos along the way.
