Anzac Day 25 April
Joshua Dyer (aged 14) was tasked at school to write a poem for Remembrance Day.
ONE THOUSAND MEN ARE WALKING
One thousand men are walking
Walking side by side
Singing songs from home
The spirit as their guide
they walk toward the light milord
they walk towards the sun
they smoke and laugh and smile together
no foes to outrun
these men live on forever
in the hearts of those they saved
a nation truly grateful
for the path of peace they paved
they march as friends and comrades
but they do not march for war step closer to salvation a tranquil steady corps the meadows lit with golden beams a beacon for the brave the emerald grass untrampled a reward for what they gave they dream of those they left behind and know they dream of them forever in those poppy fields there walks one thousand men
Joshua Dyer
Lest we forget
COVID-19 Update
Queensland Health has reached it’s first milestone in the delivery of the
COVID vaccine as over 2000 Queenslanders have now received their first
doses.
On Friday last week, Cairns Hospital came online and Brisbane’s second
Pfizer hub at the STARS Facility at Herston is operational.
This week the two remaining hubs at Sunshine Coast University Hospital
and Townsville University Hospital have started vaccinating critical
healthcare and quarantine workers as Phase 1a continues.
The Queensland Government website is regularly updated to provide
Queenslanders with information about the vaccine. It should be consulted
regularly and is located here: https://www.qld.gov.au/health/conditions/
health-alerts/coronavirus-covid-19/protect-yourself-others/covid-19-
vaccine
KEY FACTS
• A vaccine is the best way to protect Queenslanders from COVID-19 –
the Palaszczuk Government wants all Queenslanders to have access to the
vaccine quickly and safely.
• This is a national vaccine rollout, led by the Federal Government and
implemented by states and territories.
• This is a global effort, and supply is limited across the world. Australia
must prioritise who receives the vaccination, and when.
• In Queensland, the first doses of vaccine are being delivered by
Queensland Health through six Pfizer hubs to front-line healthcare
workers, police officers, and hotel quarantine workers.
• These hubs are in areas that are close to points of entry for
international arrivals or where quarantine hotels are located – these are
the areas considered as the greatest risks.

Oberonia palmicola
Fairy orchid are epiphytes with
indiscernible or creeping
rhizomes and tufts of
unusual fan like or iris like
growths, anchored by thin
roots.
Each growth consists of a
few flattened leaves which
overlap at the base and
spread at the tips. Thin arching inflorescences arise from the shoot apex
and carry tiny flowers, usually arranged in distinct whorls, but sometimes
in a spiral.
The flowers, which are carried upside down, have tiny spreading or cupped sepals and petals and a 3 lobed labellum that usually has a small sunken pit at its base.

An important native species
LOCAL QUAILS
The stubble quail (Coturnix
pectoralis) is a native Australian
species which is the most common
quail species in Australia. The stubble
quail is a ground dwelling bird that is
characterised by its dark brown
feathers with a cream coloured strip
down the centre of each feather
giving rise to stripes down the length
of the bird. It is a plump species that
is larger than other native quails.
The brown quail is a plump, stocky bird growing to a length of 17 to 22 centimetres and weight of 75 to 140 grams. The colour is quite variable over the bird's wide range. The male is red brown speckled with black on the head and upper neck and mainly red brown on back and wings. The underparts range from buff or rufous to brown, but always with fine black chevron shaped barring. The tail is short, dark brown with yellowish barring.
A shy bird—have you been lucky enough to observe one recently?
RECYCLING IN MAPLETON
SPECTACLES ARE COLLECTED AT THE MAPLETON COMMUNITY LIBRARY.
The Mapleton Bowls Club is collecting bottles and cans with the refunds going to sponsor an event at the Club. There is a convenient collection point which is a wheelie bin placed at the foot of the entry stairs. This bin can be distinguished from others as it has a round hole in its roof where you can pop-in the recycle items. QLD container refund scheme in the school car park. All proceeds go to the Mapleton State School P&C. All your donations would be gratefully received and will go towards resources for our school and students. Mapleton Men’s Shed is also a receiving depot for recycling cans and bottles. These may be left in the sulo bins in front of the storage shed in Mapleton Forest Drive. Please do not crush the cans you deposit for recycling. JP SERVICES
