| The Stinson Daywalk |
14 March 2010
Lamington National Park
|
|
The Stinson lies in the Southern Wilderness section of Lamington National Park. Although the distance is only 8 kilometres return it will take us approximately 8 hours to complete the trip. We will be following trails which are rough underfoot, indistinct, overgrown, steep and at times quite challenging. Notwithstanding this, we will only travel as fast as the slowest person in the group thus allowing everyone to enjoy the day. We follow picturesque Christmas creek past numerous waterfalls to the site of Westray’s Grave where we will stop for a light snack. We then head up to the top of the plateau to the site of the Stinson Crash Site. We will be walking through palm forests, rain forests and stands of box gums as ancient as the forest itself.

Escape from the crowded Grand Bazaar to the quiet warmth of an ancient kitchen fragrant with spices and buzzing with stories as we chop and simmer. Use oil fresh pressed from our sun-warmed grove to convert aubergine to Imam Bayaldi. Fry zucchini fritters or chicken in pistachio, sumac, bush tomato and sesame crumbs and serve with creamy macadamia tarator. Feature pistachios again in the pilaf and make the honeyed baklava a sweet conclusion.

| Shepherd's Walk |
17 July 2010
08:00 - 02:00
Washpool Picnic Ground below Crebra Farmhouse
|
|
This year the Shepherd’s Walk is on Saturday, July 17. It finishes at the Washpool (so named because the shepherds washed their sheep in it before shearing) Picnic Ground on the creek below Crebra Farmhouse.
Excerpts from the Beaudesert Historical Society’s booklet by BP Ward help explain what it is all about…..……..
“Portion 47, Parish of Telemon, County of Ward
(Just north of the Christmas Creek Church on Len Cahill’s property)
The shepherds at this site would have been employees of William Barker, as this area was a part of the Tamrookum run, first leased by Tinker Campbell in 1842, who disposed of it in 1843 to Barker for 25 pounds.
There is no record that Campbell stocked it.
This hut had three rooms and was on an elevation some distance from water so as to avoid contact with aborigines whose paths followed along the creeks. It was occupied by three Chinamen and a woman, the wife of one.
One of the other men was said to be a brother or either the wife or her husband. The nationality of this woman is not known but she probably would have been European.
This group were attached, at daylight one morning, by aborigines, killing the three men. It has never been reported how many aborigines were killed, if any but there would most likely have been some because shepherds were generally armed and at close quarters could hardly have missed.”
“There are many reports of aborigines being killed in battles with the pastoralist in Queensland.
The woman survived by falling between the bed and the wall, being hidden by blankets. When the coast was clear, perhaps she waited till night fall, she made her way eastward through the second gap from the south in the Gin Broken Range to her shepherd friends at Kerry (Portion 70, Parish of Kerry, County of Ward) where she told her traumatic tale.”
Her path is now retraced by the Beaudesert Historical Society on their “Shepherd’s Walk” each year. A billy tea, damper and sausage sizzle lunch is held after the walk at the Washpool Picnic Ground.
To book in to the walk please contact the Beaudesert Historical Society on phone 55413740.

Memories of the colour and movement of India are starting to fade by August but we recall the cool hill station plantations and the fragrant Kerala kitchens when we chop and fry for curries of lamb biryani or seafood, perhaps dahl or coconut simmered vegetables. We will need a sweet and chill dessert.

Ingredients fresh picked from a sunny garden make a wonderful iced green gazpacho and the green of wild watercress colours our haloumi fritters, in the vegetarian kitchen. Risotto is comfort food and hand made pasta is fragrant and mellow with sage butter. Salad and sorbet and perhaps a tarte tatin complete the feast.
