Landcare and bridge update from Dignams Creek

/in /by

New bridgeThe bush sure feels dry, despite our wet winter, but it also looks like a huge Jackson Pollock painting, spattered with intense pinks (Indigofera australis), with deep purple dripping over the ground and up trees (Hardenbergia violacea) and bright yellow straw flowers everywhere.

Thinking about planting bamboo at your place? Please don’t. We had a great Landcare day ripping out three huge tractor loads of the stuff at Didi’s and Mark’s place. Our latest energetic young … Read more »

Four people in the Australian bush with tools in the foreground.Our Diggies Landcare group is really kicking goals. A recent working bee smashed some cape ivy, a terrible problem in our valley, at Angela and Dave’s. Many hands at work with rakes got rid of a huge heap. Thanks to all who showed up.

And thanks too to Sally Anne who brings out the Diggies Landcare Weed of the Month, which is so informative. Over … Read more »

Wild tobacco and the bridge, again

/in /by

July gave us beautiful sunny days when flooding rain and hailstorms weren’t hitting. Loads of citrus at the Share Shed kept winter colds at bay, thanks to oranges and tangelos from Angela, grapefruit from Rici, lemons from Sally and sunrise limes (a cross between a native lime and a calamondin which is a hybrid of a cumquat and a mandarin) from Didi. Many of us attended a bonfire party at Greg’s that rocked, and so did … Read more »

The Dignams Creek Community Group AGM was held early this year to avoid the bitter cold that usually accompanies it. While the formalities are important, it was also great to take stock of what our community has achieved over the previous year and delight in many homemade treats.

The bridge saga continues

/in /by

From Dignams Creek, May 2025

We are officially a divided community in Dignams Creek/Wullunthar.

Folks on the north of Dignams Creek are cut off from the highway and their neighbours. A ‘Road Closed’ sign on a fence stops anyone trying to cross the old wooden bridge that is half down, and a new concrete one is soon to go up.

As previously reported, the timeliness and accuracy of communications from both Councils has … Read more »
