The Lilydale Progressive August 2015
August 2015.
Winter is the season in which people try to keep the house as warm as it was in the summer, when they complained about the heat. ~Author Unknown.
Only another month to go for spring to be upon us. The days are getting longer and warmer until summer is here. There are those that really like the cold of the winter season and don’t seem to feel the cold. Shorts and T shirts are still to be seen during the day around the area - maybe their thermostats became stuck! Then there are the winter haters who can’t wait for summer. Strangely enough this seems to be an annual occurrence. While the minus temperatures lately were cool enough, my daughter working on the Emirates Oman, border was tolerating over 50 degree heat especially when the air-conditioning failed. Those who went over the puddle for winter chasing the warmer days must have been confused when snow fell in parts of S.E. Queensland and New South Wales.

100 Years Ago... Around Lilydale. 1915 A.Bardenhagen, General Emporium A visit to the extensive and well stocked general store so successfully conducted by the Bardenhagen family since 1888, at Lilydale, showed that under Mr H. V. Bardenhagen's management, assisted by Mrs Bardenhagen senr., the popularity and usefulness of this fine business are as good as ever. When a business has been run successfully for many years , it is proof positive that customers know they get thorough satisfaction in value, quality, and consideration. This big and growing business, which includes superior butchering and baking, has grown up with Lilydale itself, and is now more firmly established than ever. Here best and cheapest lines of top quality drapery, grocery, fancy goods, boots, shoes, patent medicines, ironmongery, hardware and many lines can be purchased, in many instances, below town price. Here also travellers will always find a good car available for hire whilst at the branch shop attached to Bardenhagens well-known and popular Coffee Palace, the usual magazines, periodicals and daily and weekly papers are procurable.

Did you know that Lions Clubs originated nearly one hundred years ago – in Chicago, US in 1917. Since that time it has grown into a world wide service organisation, represented locally by your local club, Lilydale Lions. By being part of a state, national and international organisation we are able to help many people, for example a total of $345,000 was paid out in the 2015 National Flood and Bushfire Appeals. Our changeover dinner was held with the Lions Club of Bridport where new officers were inducted. On a sad note we farewelled Lion Murray Dolbey who has transferred to the Bridport club where he now lives. Murray was sponsored into our Club by past member Ron Reid and has contributed to our projects and fundraising. We wish him well for the future – please call in when you are passing! Come and check us out at the monthly markets – if you have any bric a brac or quality secondhand books you no longer need please box them up and bring them down. Stop and have a chat to find out what we are all about – we are the ones wearing the bright red polo tops and manning the bbq. Last raffle winner was Peter Cullen of Rocherlea. The market is our major fundraiser – your support is much appreciated. Recent donations include the Examiner Winter Relief Appeal $400 and PNG Lions Development $100. Lions Xmas Cakes are still available and very much appreciated while the weather is cold and can be enjoyed on a cold winter’s day in front of the fire with a fine drink! Phone Colin 63952065 for your cake. Spring is not far away – our pulverized cow manure is great for spring preparation in gardens, phone Stephen 63951323 with your order.
Keep roaring.

Influenza Influenza (flu) is an infection of the nose, throat and lungs caused by the flu virus. It is usually a more severe illness than the 'common cold'. What are the symptoms? Flu symptoms often start suddenly with fever, dry cough and fatigue. Other symptoms can include: headache muscle aches and pains shivers weakness running nose sore throat. Complications of flu, such as pneumonia, can be life threatening – particularly for older people or those with a chronic illness. Most people recover from flu in about a week. How is flu spread? The flu virus spreads easily when infected people cough or sneeze without covering their mouths and noses. It can also be passed on through contact with contaminated surfaces. The flu virus can live for a day on hard surfaces. The flu virus enters the body through the nose or throat. It then takes one to three days for the person to start feeling unwell. People can pass on the virus from a day before symptoms start, and for up to seven days after symptoms start. How can I prevent flu? There are a number of ways to reduce your chances of catching flu. Get a flu shot to protect yourself from the seasonal flu viruses. This will also help protect your family, friends, and colleagues. (if you don't catch flu you can't spread it). Wash your hands frequently to get rid of the germs you may have picked up. Use soap and water, or an alcohol based hand rub. If you do get sick – don't share it! When you cough or sneeze cover your mouth with your elbow (rather than your hand). Stay home from work and school. Stay at least a metre away from other people, especially if you're coughing. Who should get vaccinated? Some people are at more risk of getting severe flu and complications. The following people can currently get a free vaccine: All adults aged 65 years and over Pregnant women Adults and children from six months of age with chronic medical conditions, such as heart, lung or kidney diseases, asthma, diabetes, cancers, impaired immunity and neuromuscular conditions. Children (aged six months to 10 years) on
Health Solutions from the Lilydale Pharmacy
long-term aspirin therapy. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years and over. People who come into contact with those at risk of severe flu should also be vaccinated. This includes healthcare workers, child care workers and other people who work or live with vulnerable people. Anyone who has had a serious allergic reaction to flu vaccine or eggs should not have the flu vaccination. Free vaccine is available through your GP and other immunisation providers. Some may charge a consultation fee. When do I get vaccinated? You need a flu vaccine every year to stay protected. The best time to be vaccinated is in autumn, before the winter flu season. It is usually available from March each year. The peak time for flu is August, and it takes about 4 weeks to build up immunity. If you are not eligible for a free flu vaccine, it costs about $15 on a prescription, and maybe a doctor’s fee. Are there side effects? Common side effects of flu vaccination include pain and swelling at the injection site. Fever is less common. These side effects are usually mild and resolve quickly without any treatment. The seasonal flu vaccine cannot give you the flu. What treatments are available for flu? Rest and make sure you drink and eat enough. Paracetamol can help lower your fever and stop your headache and muscle aches. Follow the instructions carefully on how much to take. Severe or worsening flu symptoms should be assessed by a doctor. You may sometimes need admission to hospital and antiviral tablets and/or antibiotics.

Keeping our kids safe online Kids today have access to a wide range of technology, and while that technology can help them learn new things and socialise with people all over the world, there are also dangers that we all need to be aware of. The Australian Government has developed a website to help parents and children learn more about the dangers and ways to reduce the risks.
www.esafety.gov.au - The Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner is a one-stop-shop for online safety. The Office provides Australians a range of up-to-date information and resources, coupled with a comprehensive complaints system to assist children who experience serious cyberbullying.
Chatterbox is a series of videos for parents. The informal nature of Chatterbox provides parents a fresh, new and jargon-free perspective on cybersafety issues. Chatterbox aims to empower parents to approach esafety issues with confidence and increase understanding of the main online safety issues children experience.: www.esafety.gov.au/education-resources/parent-resources/chatterbox eSafety Issues: www.esafety.gov.au/esafety-information/esafety-issues on this page you can find helpful articles on the following important issues. Cyberbullying: In Australia, one in five kids under 11 has a mobile phone. Over 13 and it's over 80%. Kids use phones for calls but also for texting and social media and cyberbullying. Offline bullying may stop at school, but online bullying follows kids everywhere. Right now, your child could be sending or receiving mean or threatening messages, and the effects aren't good. But there are ways to tackle the problem. Stop, block, report, and support are just some of the ways you can help prevent cyberbullying. Talk about it with your child today because all kids deserve to be safe online.
Social Networking: Chat and social networking are great ways to stay in touch and find new friends. However, there are some risks meeting people online—especially if you don’t know them in real life. When you share things online you may be sharing with other people you do not know or trust. Once a message, photo or video has been shared, you also won't be able to control where it goes.
Offensive or Illegal content: Inappropriate online content can expose users to concepts and materials that they are not ready to manage of that may be illegal in Australia.
Unwanted contact: Unwanted contact is any type of online communication that you find unpleasant or confronting. This could be messages from someone you met online who starts asking personal questions or sends you photos that are upsetting or that you don’t like. The contact can come from online and/or offline friends or people you don't know.
Sexting: Sexting may seem like innocent flirting or be considered funny for young people but it can have serious social and legal consequences.
Online Gaming: Too much gaming can affect your school or social life. It is important to be aware that if you chat with other gamers, you must protect your privacy and keep personal information private.
Digital reputation: Your digital reputation is defined by your behaviours in the online environment and by the content you post about yourself and others. Tagged photos, blog posts and social networking interactions will all shape how you are perceived by others online and offline, both now and in the future.
Balancing online time: Playing games online and using consoles or games on a computer is great fun but you to need to make sure that your online world does not take over your life. With more and more mobile devices on the market it is easy and tempting to stay connected 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but it is also very important to know how and when to disconnect.
Protecting personal information: Personal information is any information or combination of information that enables an individual to be identified. Personal information is used by many businesses for legitimate communication. However this is not always the case and some personal information can be misused by criminals or inappropriately by marketers.
Trolling: Trolling is when a user anonymously abuses or intimidates others online for fun. They purposely post in-flammatory statements, not as a way to bully or harass other people, but to watch the reactions. Trolls enjoy seeing people get worked up about what they post. When they are confronted on their behaviour, they often shrug it off and claim it was all in fun.

Dear Editor, It was with great interest that I read last month’s progressive. There have been discussions in the community around the operations of the Lilydale District Progress Association (LDPA) and the Lilydale Village Market and it was interesting to read the article from Mr Peter Lynam, as well as the ‘anonymous’ Market report, and a letter from Mr P McMurray. Each of these people, as well as the full committees of the groups represented operate as independent voluntary community members and I take this opportunity to publicly thank them for their time and willingness to contribute to our small but thriving community. As is constantly recognised through media, without volunteers we would be a very different country. Mr Lynam writes eloquently of the benefits of existing as a subcommittee to the umbrella of LDPA and the risk of loss of revenue in operating independently. The Market report author writes of the success of the market, with the hall being constantly “at or near capacity”; “the market remains an attractive and profitable…”, and “…the market is rewarding”. As an incorporated community group, each and every committee member of LDPA have a legal and binding responsibility to the community and operate by the rules of a constitution. As an umbrella group, the Market committee also have a legal and binding responsibility to the community and must abide by the constitution of the LDPA and should have their own “Terms of Reference” as operation guidelines. Failure to meet these obligations in a transparent manner is a matter of breach of the Associations Incorporation Act of 1964 and there are clearly documented procedures outlined at http://www.consumer.tas.gov.au/registrations/incorporated_associations for times when disputes arise in an incorporated body. As a member of the Lilydale community I ask Mr Lynham to present to the editor of the Lilydale Progressive the constitution and terms of reference under which these bodies have been acting. I also ask Mr Lynham (as president of the LDPA for at least twelve months or longer), to present the annual income and expenditure statements for the past three years, along with the auditor’s reports confirming the accuracy of the statements. As a concerned member who values the work of volunteers as well as the cohesiveness and inspiration alive in our village I feel that presentation of these documents will clearly allay any fears of misconduct or suspicion of breaches.
In the interests of the LDPA and the Market, as well as the Lilydale community as a whole, I offer to pay $250 to have several copies of these documents printed and available at a mutually agreed location in the community, eg the Post Office. Rach Denholm PO Box 149 Lilydale TAS 7268

Heritage Lilydale Launching a Book – a great excuse for a party Some sixty people braved the cold on Friday 24 July to help author Nigel Burch launch his newly published book Ephemeral Lisle, the Town That Disappeared. Nigel gave a great talk about the gold strikes at Lisle, and the people who came to Lisle, making it – for a short time - the third largest town in Tasmania. After the gold madness ended, many people settled here and became part of the Lilydale district. And there were descendants of the gold miners in attendance at the launch. Launching a book is fun! Fortunately Nigel is working on his next book, which is about Pipers River in general and the Bangor Slate Mine in particular. It was clear from discussions at the launch that there is a lot of information about the slate mine floating around our community. Nigel is keen to talk to those who have an interest in this area and to ensure that the book becomes a first class record of those who came to Bangor. The sooner he finishes his next book, the sooner we can have another book launch. Sincere thanks to all those who came, and to the
Lilydale Fire Brigade for their assistance.

LILYDALE PLAYGROUP
Lilydale Playgroup is now meeting on Fridays at 11am to 1pm. It is still in the Hall behind the Anglican Church on Station Rd, Lilydale. We would love to welcome you and your children into our congenial group. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet other carers and children from your local area in a friendly, relaxed environment. Playgroup is a great place for children to develop their social, motor and cognitive skills while having fun, allowing them to explore the world in their own way and their own time. We have lots of toys, books and play equipment for them to enjoy. Fun activities and crafts that focus on learning are run every week. Playgroup is more than a place for kids to play. Parents and carers are an equally important part of our focus. The need to sit down, and socialise with adults or just chill over a hot cuppa should not be underestimated in the hectic and demanding parenting role! Playgroup parents support and help each other. Parenting resources are also available. YOUR FIRST SESSION IS FREE and each one you come to after that is now only $2. Please note that we will be running during school holidays if there is enough interest. If you have any questions please call Anni on 6395 4399. With many playgroups closing around the state we are determined to keep ours running. We believe strongly in the value of our local Playgroup. Come along, have some fun and help us keep our Playgroup alive. Please bring a packed lunch for your family (and wear old clothes in case we're doing some messy play). We hope to see you there soon.

Lilydale Village Market
What a great day we had at our July Lilydale Village Market. The hall was full to bursting again with all of your favourite stallholders and some new ones, quality handcrafts, all sorts of interesting goodies, fresh produce and home cooking. Open fires were roaring inside and out, there was plenty of great hot food and drinks, and there were groovy tunes happening out front - fun for everyone! We were treated to a fabulous show by the very talented Sam Arnold, who was joined by the equally groovy Steve Roper and John Alford - what a treat! If you want to see what we get up to at the market each month there are plenty of photos on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/LilydaleVillageMarket and some fun videos on YouTube. After the market we had a wonderful turnout after a call for new volunteers. We are delighted to let you know that we will be able to continue to bring you this great community event, now that we have welcomed more helping hands. We also said goodbye to our outgoing president Peter Lynam who we are so grateful to for the hundreds of hours he has selflessly given over the past few years as the market was growing. We could not have continued without you Peter and we are very grateful for all that you have invested in our committee and our community. Our next market will be held on August 9th. Enquiries and stall bookings can be emailed to lilydalevillagemarket@ gmail.com. We all have such a great time on market day and we hope you can visit to join in the fun too.

Police phone number for anyone wanting to contact the Police to report a crime or
suspicious incident is 131 444 NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH A small attendance at this meeting. A flier was distributed to businesses in our area announcing a Business Crime Prevention forum to be held in Launceston in response to the crime increase in businesses during the last 6 months. We will be having a guest speaker, Will Oakley, from the RACT attending our September meeting to report on the roads in our area which need attention. He will also speak on Road Safety, Structure and Strategy. Before he attends this meeting he will have a look at the roads we are concerned about so that he will be able to answer any questions which may arise at the meeting. We hope as many people as possible can attend this meeting. ( SEPTEMBER 10TH) Police Report : On July 2nd a house along Brown Mountain Road was broken into by kicking in a rear door. Cash, jewelry and a firearm were stolen. A white station wagon , possibly a Subaru, was seen leaving the area and the CIB is investigating. 2 suspects have already been identified. Continue to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to Police or Crime Stoppers. Suspicious Incidents: Several cyclone gates were stolen from the Karoola ground of the local Pony Club. Our next meeting on August 13th will be our AGM. Everyone is welcome to attend. It will be held at the Fire Station at 7.30 pm.
Lilydale Country Women’s Association We did not have a meeting as such in July but had a very enjoyable day entertaining guests at a soup and sandwich luncheon. Members from other branches began arriving shortly before 10.30 and were soon joined by a few locals. President Norma welcomed everyone, old friends chatted comfortably with each other and a few jokes were read out. Trivia pursuit plus general knowledge questions were asked, correct answers to most questions were very quick in coming however some took a few tries and one in particular had everyone guessing, Who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1942 answer at the bottom. Lunch was served, lucky door prizes awarded and guests went on their way, once again refreshed by delicious soup, tasty sandwiches and slices. For many years we have had a very good relation-ship with the local school. When the SRC heard we were raising money for Ronald McDonald House they decided to have their own fundraiser for this great cause on the same day. Unfortunately I did not take the time to find out exactly what they did but believe it involved dressing in appropriate clothes, a Crazy Clown, and a colouring competition with students from kindergarten to grade ten taking part, prizes were awarded in three age categories. During the afternoon Daniel Story, Grandson of our Dorothy visited us dressed in his clown suit and photos of the two of them together were taken. The Examiner sent a reporter to the school, it’s great that positive events like this involving young people are recognised, not sure how much they made but a substantial amount would have been sent off to Ronald McDonald House. After guests had departed and washing up was finished we decided on arrangements for the Quilters Guild function we have been asked to cater for. Ronald McDonald House will benefit from funds raised at what was a very successful day. (Answer to above question No-one, it was not awarded that year due to the second World War)

LILYDALE LANDCARE REPORT: May/June/July. While we have all been in hibernation trying our best to avoid the freezing mornings and generally colder days, our Landcare members have been hard at it improving our local environment, farm productivity and taking care of our bees. A successful working bee was held in Merthyr Park during which many young gorse plants were removed and the track and bridge were cleared of fallen trees. Subsequent to that, a great young team from the Green Army have completed two days work there concentrating on cutting and painting flowering gorse and removing more young plants. The Northern side of the park is now looking pretty good and the team commented on what a lovely area it is. They said it was their favourite work so far, high praise indeed! The Spanish Broom cylid that was released last October has done an amazing job, decimating the carpet of seedlings and will continue to work while a viable population remains. If there are any locals who have a problem with this on their land, please feel free to contact Lilydale Landcare for information about control methods, you don’t have to be a member. Our night of “Fun, Fashion, Friends, Food and Fizz” was a great success and those who attended had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. We all agreed we need to do it again so another night will be organized closer to summer. Landcare again played a major role in creating illuminated instillations for the very successful Winter Solstice Lantern Walk, with a total of 5 displays by Landcare members. An added element was the dulcet tones of “Underwood” playing and singing among the fairyland of lights. Many thanks to them for a wonderful contribution. We have purchased a suitable storage container, which will be situated at the Lilydale School Farm as a central storage area for all our equipment. This will enable an inventory of assets to be compiled and make it much easier to keep track of gear. We hope this will be in place soon, negotiations with LCC are progressing. Our next social event will be a TRIVIA NIGHT! Keep the night of Saturday August 22nd free. We require tables of 8, to be held in the Function Room of the Lilydale Larder, at 7.00 for a start at 7.30 sharp. So, gather your smartest friends (or start saving money to buy clues and answers) and join us for what is always a great night. It will be $10.00 a head or $80.00 per table. If you can’t make up a table you are still welcome. For bookings please phone Jillian on 6395-1062. Payment is required in advance please. I hope you all managed to plant at least one tree for National Tree Day. Keep on preparing those garden beds, keep those poly-tunnels powering along and most of all, stay warm and be prepared for the spurt of growth come spring.
Chef Roy, This month we have a recipe for a slow cooked lamb shoulder - a no fuss dinner. A sprinkling of gremolata and herby chick peas make the ideal companion.
1 lamb shoulder - with bone about 2kg olive oil 3 unpeeled garlic cloves few sprigs of thyme 2 400g tins of chopped tomatoes Preheat oven to 150 deg. Rub lamb with a little olive oil, season well with freshly ground black pepper. Place lamb, garlic, and thyme in a roasting dish and add 1cm of boiling water. Cover with foil and cook for about 4- 4 1/2 hours or until very tender, topping up water as required. Increase oven temperature to 170 deg. Drain off any fat from roasting tin. Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup of water to roasting tin and return to oven, uncovered for about 30 minutes. Let lamb rest for 20 minutes then skim off any fat from pan juices and season to taste. Serve with the tomato sauce, top with gremolata and accompany with chick peas. Serves 6 Gremolata 1 Garlic clove finely chopped -3 tablespoons of flat leaf parsley coarsely chopped and the grated zest of 1 lemon. Mix all together and sprinkle over lamb. Herby Chickpeas 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 small brown onion, chopped, 1 chopped carrot, 1 finely chopped celery stalk, 1 bay leaf, 1 cup of vegetable stock. 2 400g tins of grained chickpeas. 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs, basil, flat leaf parsley and rosemary.

Add herbs and serve with the lamb. *************** Chef Roy recently settled in NE Tassie on 14 acres to try
out the quiet life for a change. Previous to this he was the
Executive Chef for Food Fund International in the Middle East, South Africa and London for over 8 years. Based in
Dubai he was instrumental in preparing all the restaurant
menus including around 6 in Dubai. The Dubai restaurants

Sometimes it’s fun to do something just for the committee and our members. An amazing lot of work is undertaken throughout the year to hold our concerts and exhibitions and this will be a relaxing night out for workers and supporters. On the subject of supporters… new members would be so welcome! New members bring fresh ideas, new contacts among artists and performers, another pair of hands to help out at functions. If you’re a painter or photographer, potter or sculptor, Lilydale Arts is proud to present your work. Likewise if your talents are musical or acting join up and talk to us about what you dream of doing! We have members who have varying levels of involvement: some are very active committee members organizing events and doing all the administrative work, others help out at functions and at times that suit them, others come to concerts (there’s a discount for members) and others join because they see the value of the group within community life and they want to support it. Some people are new to Lilydale and it’s a great way to make new friends. Whatever your reason for joining and whatever your level of involvement, Lilydale Arts would welcome you wholeheartedly. The more members, the more that can be done and that’s exciting. (Contact Chris Bush 63951258 for more info)
Our next concert is a piano and cello recital by Amanda Hodder and Martin Pennicka on September 13 at 2.00pm at 172 Snake Track Road, North Lilydale. There will be afternoon tea afterwards with time to meet and talk. In November we have an exhibition by two of our members: Jenny and Ian Scott. Jennifer’s art is exclusively Chinese traditional freestyle painting. This lends itself to bringing out the life and vitality of the subjects and Jenny has specialised in painting the larger animals, including large birds and humans. Jenny will give a brief description of the technique at the opening of the exhibition and a synopsis of this will be available throughout the exhibition. Two events to keep in mind! Do join us! 2015 Calendar: 15th Aug – Bunning’s BBQ – Is there anyone who can spare an hour or two to work with us? This is our major fund-raiser. 13th Sept – Martin Penicka & Amanda Hodder (Amanda and Friends) piano and cello. 6-8th and 13 -15th November – Jenny and Ian Scott Exhibition. 15th November – Bon Accord Dec – Peter Alting Awards 5th Dec - Pantomime

SHEEP TALK Ewes need looking after It was a pretty ordinary autumn for sheep mating so many sheep owners won’t be expecting an awesome lambing percentage. In the meantime it has been a bleak winter with very poor pasture growth to keep the ewes in good condition. With ewes now going into the last trimester the concern for farmers with small or large sheep flocks will be making sure the ewes keep condition on their backs. A ewe’s energy (and protein) needs increase dramatically over the last 6 weeks of pregnancy. Many sheep owners in the Lilydale area will have sheep for prime lamb production, rather than wool. In which case, many of the ewes will be expected to be carrying twins, or even triplets. If the pastures are not adequate the ewe will need you to make up the difference with high energy feed, such as grain or pellets. If the energy deficit is large enough pregnancy toxaemia is a real possibility. Early supplementing will help minimise this condition and after lambing she will be less likely to abandon the lamb for a good feed for the first time in months. Sheep need time to get acclimatised to grain or pellets so introduce the supplement slowly, at say 50 gm/head/day for 3 days, then increase to 100 gm/head/day for the next 4 days. The next week increase another 50 gm/day for 3 days, then another increase of 50 gm/day for the last 4 days, and so on. That way they start at 50 gm, get to 100/gm/head at end of week 1, 200 gm/hd/day by end of week 2 and 300 gm/head/day by end of week 3. It’s unlikely that they will need more than this in Lilydale. If you are unsure, contact the DPIPWE. It’s a good approach to keeping all the ewes and lambs alive.
In the next few weeks the lambing paddock needs to be ready, the ewes revaccinated to help improve the lambs’ immunity in the early days of life, and drench the ewe as well. For those with wool sheep you might need to get them crutched and wigged. There is a lot to plan for in such a short time. If it seems a bit overwhelming there is lots of
assistance from the local sheep program

BRINGING BACK THE MEMORIES
The article that commenced in June and July continues with the interesting times at Lalla, back in 1909. “Through two sets of gates we arrive at the cottages, and here we find a mass of rhododendrons, ericas, azaleas, roses, maples of the Japanese variety, and, in fact, flowers, flowering in great confusion and variety, can be seen thriving in this dark sand, evidently their natural soil. The plants and schrubs are most artistically arranged, giving the whole a very pretty appearance. The next attraction that meets us are the lily ponds. Here the surface is one matted scene of foliage and flowers, whilst the fringe of the pond is all laid out in bamboos, New Zealand flax plant, maples. Pampas, and iris lilies, all growing in wild confusion. On the top side of the pond we come to a splendid plot of peach trees, now being marketed, and judging from the heavily laden trees and the magnificent fruit (which we had the pleasure of sampling) this must bring in a good turnover to the proprietor. This year’s crop is estimated to be worth 100 pounds. The varieties chiefly grown are Brigg’s Red May, Hale’s Early, High’s Early Canada and Royal George. Noticeable from this portion of the orchard is a patch now being cleared. This, we are informed, is to be planted out next winter with rhododendrons, when it will be a centre of attraction to those who appreciate flowers. This part is situated on a rather steep bank of splendid soil (suitable to rhodo production), overlooking a fern gully, beneath which trickles the prettiest of streams and beautiful water. The gully will be cleaned up, and additional varieties of ferns planted, which will add beauty to an already picturesque spot.” Continuation of the Lalla story will continue in the September edition of the Lilydale Progressive.

Tasmanian Quilting Guild In July the Tasmanian Quilting Guild held their annual quilt show at the Launceston Silverdome as part of the Quilt and Craft Fair. The success of this show was testament to the hard work of the Guild and several local ladies are very much involved. The Lilydale CWA also catered for Judging Day and provided a wonderful morning tea and lunch for all those working that day. Well done everyone.
